This may belong in the reloading section, and if so, mods, please feel free to move it. My question is, has anyone tried to shorten 410 shells to a length that would allow them to chamber in a pistol chambered for a 45 colt? The reason I'm interested is because I live in the country in...

I've been kicking around the idea of getting a lever gun in either 44 Mag or 45 Colt. I know they've been out there for a while, and so I was kind of wondering why Hornady introduced their FTX (Flex Tip) bullets for tube fed guns shooting pistol calibers. Was there ever a problem that needed...

Great video of Ted Nugent on an Austin public TV station. http://biggeekdaddy.com/miscvideos/TedNugent.html

I'm not sure if I'm just looking for a reason to buy another gun, but I'd like to shoot some pigeons for dog training. I can shoot them on my neighbors' farms, but they don't want me to spook their calves and cattle with a regular rifle or shotgun. I'd prefer not to have them shot up as much...

My understanding is that the humane society is anti-gun and anti-hunting. No surprise there. I am going to get rid of my dog due to some behavior problems with it. I do not intend to wait until one of my kids are bitten to deal with it. I can obviously resolve the situation myself, but...

Need some help. I had a Ruger SRH and now I've got a Ruger Redhawk. Neither of them have good triggers, and the Redhawk doesn't "feel" real good to me. I use them mostly for target practice fun out the back yard, and I'll also use them for hunting. I don't have to have accuracy, but I...

I was going to make a purchase of a new 1911 today, and ran into a dilemma. The store had 2 brand new Colt GC Trophy 1911's (one stainless, one blued), and also had a used Colt GC National Match 1911. The price of the new SS Trophy was the same as the used NM, and the blued one was about $40...

I bought a used 1911 with what I thought was just a loose grip screw. I got home and went to tighten it and found it the threads were stripped. Do they make oversized grip screws? Any thoughts on how to fix it? Thanks, Neil

I bought a Ruger SRH a year or so ago in 454 Casull. I out quickly after buying brass and bullets for it that what I heard about it ("knuckle busting recoil") was true, and it wasn't enjoyable to shoot much. So I got 45LC brass and bullets. I'm wondering if I can reload the XTP Mags in 45LC...

I've been kicking around the idea of getting a TC Encore with a 45/410 barrel. I'd use the 45LC for deer hunting, and the 410 for ground squirrel elimination while mowing around the place. If I get a barrel for both 45 and 410, do I losing out on accuracy with the 45? I'm sure someone will...

My uncle just passed away and left my Grandfather's shotgun to me. Several years ago, there were some burgleries in his neighborhood, so as a theft deterrent he took one of those hand engravers and engraved his SSN in the side of the action of his dad's Winchester. Now that it's mine, I'd like...

I accidentally bought 1000 CCI MAGNUM large pistol primers, when I was wanting to just buy the regular large pistol primers. Can I still use them, and what is the difference between the magnum and regular large pistol primers, and what effect will they have on my loads if I do use the magnums...

I went duck hunting a lot this year, and used two 870 SuperMags doing it. When I rabbit hunt, I use a Stoeger condor classic. When pheasant hunting or shooting sporting clays or trap, I'll use my Remington 11-87. Squirrel hunting I use my Grandpa's old Winchester or one of my rifles. I'm...

I'd just like someone to help with me this reload recipe and make sure it's OK. I've got 240 grain Rainier flat point bullets, and loaded some of them with 14 grains of BlueDot. Rainier's web site says to use lead bullet data, and based on a Nosler reload manual I've got, the 14 grains of...

Folks, I sold my last .44 Mag to a friend of mine and need to get another one. I'm trying to decide between a S&W 629 and a Ruger SRH. From my reading, I believe the SRH is stronger, cheaper, has the integral scope mounts and comes with scope rings. What does the 629 have going for it other...

I've got a 22LR single six, but a double action would be so much nicer to load for me (my right hand got mixed up in a table saw accident a few years ago.) Does anyone make a 22LR/22Mag double action revolver? Thanks, Neil

Need some help - my Ruger super redhawk seems to have a couple of loose parts. The ejector push rod is loose enough to rattle if I shake the gun, and the little plate between the hammer and the firing pin is loose enough to rattle if I shake the gun. Is this normal? It sure is aggravating if...

Just got a Ruger SRH, and I'm trying to pick a bullet to reload 45 Colt. So far, I'm managing to get myself confused by bullet diameters of .451, .452, and .454. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use the .454 dia., but I'm not sure about the .451 and .452. The many posts in this forum have...

Need a little help, as I've reloaded for a year, but am far from experienced. I got a great deal, I think, on about 250 bullets. The bullets are .430" diameter, 240 grain, jacketed flat points that I want to reload for my .44 mag. I've got Nosler and Hornady's reloading manuals, and they...

I was hoping someone here could help me with these questions. I recently bought a springfield 1911A1 PX9104L pistol, and I think it has some problems. I'm considering sending it back to Springfield to see if they can fix them for me, but I'd rather not if what I think are problems are just the...
