    Question Colt Woodsman sight pin fix

    I have a Third Series Woodsman Sport and the rear sight leaf pin [looks like it holds the adjustable sight to the slide] starts to drift out. What is a good fix to stop this? I'm wondering if putting a slight bend in the pin and then tapping it back in would be a good fix. Hopefully RC., or...

    JG Sales new policy

    Their website, www.jgsales.com, just announced their new policy is to apply the same restrictions on sales to law enforcement/government agencies as might apply to law abiding citizens in any given jurisdiction. So, if I can't buy a 30 round mag. in New York, then neither can they. I love it...

    Finally found Federal small pistol primers

    These [Federal] have been scarce as hen's teeth, for me anyway. I like them because they are supposedly more sensitive than other brands. Cabelas in Kansas City was always out, catalog showed 'out of stock', never any at local gun shows or gun stores. Went to a gunshow in Kingman, AZ. today and...

    What OAL for plated 38 spec 158 gr.

    I need some suggestions for OAL to use for 158 grain X-Treme brand plated semi wadcutters in 38 special. I'll be shooting a S&W 686 with 5 inch barrel. Mostly plinking and punching paper and I'd like it to be reasonably accurate. I'm thinking of around 3.5 grains of Bullseye powder. I'm thinking...

    Seater die question

    Newby question. Will a wadcutter seater plug be ok to seat semi wadcutter bullets in 38 special? Will I need to get some special seater plug designed just for semi wadcutters? I will be using an Rcbs 3 die set and Missouri Bullet 158 grain semi wadcutters. The die set comes with 2 seating...

    Large vs small metering screw RCBS Uniflow

    I am a newby and recently bought an RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme kit. I load .380, 9mm and .45 acp. The Uniflow powder measure appears to be outfitted with the large metering screw assembly. My question is: is it worth spending more to get the small assembly for more accuracy? I usually meter less...

    No wonder gun stores go out of business

    Sat. I stopped in a store in Bullhead City, AZ. Their prices were crazy high. Examples: New Ruger LCP $500, Kel-Tec P3AT $400. Powder for reloading $35 a pound. All plus sales tax. I don't mind paying a lttle extra to keep a local business in business, but not that much. I can buy either of...

    45 acp, Blue Dot, Dirty chamber

    A friend gave me nearly a pound of Blue Dot. I loaded a small batch using 9.4 grains of powder, Xtreme 200 gr. plated round nose bullets, mixed brass, Win. primers, light taper crimp and seated to 1.260 OAL. Averages 805 fps using a S&W 945 with a 5 in. barrel. I had several failures to fully...

    Seating depth question

    I'm a newby to reloading and have done a few .380, 9mm and .45 acp using a Speer 14 manual. The manual gives max. cartridge overall lengths, and the cartridge overall length tested with each bullet type/weight. It does NOT give the seating depth or length of each bullet tested. I assume there...

    Wal-Mart Win. 45ACP 100 pack prices

    I just bought a box of Win. 45ACP white box 100 pack at the Wal-Mart in Bullhead City, Az. for $32.97 plus tax. A couple of weeks ago in St. Joseph, Mo. the price for the same thing was between $58 and $59 plus tax. I suppose one or the other could have mispriced or there has been a price...
