    Golden State Arms

    Yesterday I saw a Golden State Arms Centurion model 100, 30-06 at a local gun store. The Blue Book of Gun Values describes the company as no longer in business, but was an importer and re-manufacturer of military rifles. The rifle shoots three in about the same hole at 25 yards (indoor...

    S&W HE

    I have a puzzle. When my father passed away I inherited his S&W HE serial no. 534,815. The serial No. appears on the barrel, butt and cylinder and is within the range of the pre war HE, ie 263,001 - 536,684. However, it has a 2" barrel which was introduced in 1949 according to the Standard...

    corncob

    A couple of months ago I got my first batch of corncob to clean some 45acp cases and try out the new machine. Works great, but now the corn cob is drying out... What do you all use to revive it? Or is it a throwaway and get some more? Tom

    Berry's 200gr FP

    I'm going to start loading .45acp using Berry's 200gr FP. I'm coming up short on OAL and powder load data for it. I've looked in my Speer's Manual and the Reliant Powder Reloaders Guide. The closest seems to be the data for a 200gr LSW in the Reliant Guide, 1.19 min OAL and 4.0 gr Bullseye...

    Firestorm Mini 45

    How do you like your Firestorm Mini 45? I'm impressed with the decocker (as opposed to the 1911 cocked and locked carry), double action, sights, grip and the way it shoots. Out of the box it digested 100 without a burp and was pretty accurate out to 15 yd. I could stay in the red at that...

    federal primer pockets

    I'm new at reloading, but have done quite a few .45acp with new brass. I now have a few hundred used brass and a new tumbler. In removing the old primers, I noticed that the primer pocket holes on all brands except Federal are the same inside and out. All of the Federal brass has the usual hole...
