So I was doing inventory on my reloading stuff and I ran across a box of about 250 of these little guys. .357 in diameter, 180 grain, jacketed flat point. I want to load them up to shoot out of my dan wesson 357, but am not having much luck finding mininum and maximum load data, or...

For a long time, I have needed to upgrade my safe because of my small, but slowly growing collection. I do ALOT of research before I buy something, I went on multiple forums from different web sites, searching multiple threads and got a lot of opinions on what peoples experiences were...

My wife wants to take a shooting class and learns better in a classroom environment as opposed to private lessons. She would also like to take a women only class. Does anyone know where in the Los Angeles area she would be able to attend one of these please. Thank you! Preferred...

I am loading some .308 with imr 4064. The cartridge length is 2.015 and it's a PMC cartridge. I am loading 150 grain soft points. minimum load is 43 grains and max load is 47.7 grains according to IMR website. On some of the cartridges the 45 grains of IMR 4064 which I have measure 3 times to...

Just picked up a full size springfield m1a. I was going to load some 175 grain FMJ with 42 grains of 4064 behind it. I have heard some mixed views about using 175 grain bullets in the m1a. Has anyuone used these bullets with something close to this load with this powder? How did it work...

I haven't ever talked about it here, or on any forum but I recently had a discharge in my house. Scenario goes like this. I have a 1911 giving me feeding issues, so I do a little polishing and a real good cleaning and I load up a couple rounds in the mag to see if the gun will chamber a round...

I loaded up some rounds of 150 grain copper plated bullets at 49 grains of 4064 with imr 4064 for my m1 garand 30-06. I just found out that copper plated bullets should not be loaded the same as FMJ bullets because of the thin jacket and should not be pushed to more than 1700 fps. With...

I have some bullets that i picked up. they say 38 auto. they measure .356 diameter. they are 130 grains jacketed. Can I use these for 9mm loadings?

I have about 400 of these that were given to me. They measure .451-.452. They weigh in between 190-193 grains. I assume they would be good for 45acp, but i can't find any good load data in my speer manual, or on the alliants web site, or anywhere else for that matter. Can anyone give me a...

hello everyone, I will be taking 8 new shooters, a mix of men and women, to burro canyon shooting range within a month or so and wanted to run my plan by you guys and if you have any suggestions for me that would be great. I have never taken a large group out shooting. We will be shooting at...

Hello all, Does anyone have a good load data for 40 s&w using plated 180 grain RNFP bullets with red dot powder? I'm looking for the minimum and maximum load. Or if you have a good load you like to use that would be great. I tried the alliant powder web site and it gives no data for red...

hello everyone, I am looking for a bipod for my remington 700 cdl .308. I am heavily leaning toward the s-l 9"-13" model. I wanted some opinions on this model of bipod with a few questions on particulars. I have never had a bipod before. I am 6'2 at 190 pounds. I give my height and weight...

Is it ok to use small magnum primers with 9mm and 40S&W, or do I need to use standard? I have some 190 grain lead semi wad cutters for 45acp. What is a good load for these bullets using either red dot or unique? i'm looking for around 800-830fps. or just some nice target loads. Thank you

I have a springfield milspec. It has jammed on me every magazine at least for one round. I took it to a gunsmith who said my mag catch needed to be raised. so I did it. Took it shooting. It still jams. Did a little research that said it might be hanging up on the extractor if the extractor...

Hello, I have a friend looking to buy a gift for her husband and he wants the quigley down under rifle. I found what looks to be a very nice one from this company. Does anyone here have one of these rifles from this company, or a rifle that is similar? if you do how is the quality and...

Beautiful cause it's mine. A retired sergeant who works as a contract retiree comes into the office once a week to sign his time sheets. We usually talk guns and have made a trade in the past. I always bug him about any guns he has. Last week he walks in and my partner says "Got any 1911's?"...

Hello, Finally built My first AR, and being a CA native, you gotta jump through stupid hoops to do it. I Tried running a magazine through to test for feeding and it jams on the second round every time. It's an 8 round Colt magazine with some kind of plastic bottom that restricts putting...

I thought this might be some good info. I apologize if it's a repost. I saw this on the Cal Guns forum and thought I'd share it here since it shows some interesting stats and info regarding use of a weapon by private citizens. This is an interesting study the NRA has done collecting some data...

Ok here goes. Got a tanker in a sweet deal. Took it out to the range recently. Could NOT get it on paper at 50 yards. Figured there was a problem. Took it to a gentlemen who accurized it by bedding, trigger job, and also reparkeriing it. Wonderfull , gun looks great. Take it back out, shoots...

I just received some ammo from a trusted friend. some of the .308 ammo was loaded with 175 grain molly coated sierra match kings. The overall length is 2.898. My speer book says max cart length should be 2.810. They chamber fine in my rifle. Is there any negatives or dangers to having the...
