That’s a great suggestion! ECCO Machine threaded some barrels for me a few years ago. Did a great job on them! The price listed sounds very reasonable at $300 - 550. I checked out Liberty Suppressors and their 9mm suppressor upgrade is listed at $1,200. Thanks for the suggestion. Dan

I have an old Gemtech Trinity 9mm suppressor. The suppressor has had less than 500 rounds through it in the 20 years I’ve owned it. It was very loud even when new. I would like to get it rebuilt as a dedicated suppressor for a HK SP5 SBR. Has anyone had an old suppressor rebuilt? Who did...

Thank you FROGO207! Will start looking at some +p data and grab a can of some more appropriate powder and report back. Appreciate your help! Dan

Ok I fired off all 83 rounds and and it didn’t go so great. Here’s my observations: it seemed excessively loud. I had a sound suppressor on the entire time and the rounds were definitely not going super sonic but seemed unusually loud. Bright flash even some flames out the ejection port. I...

Yes I have also noticed my gun runs best with hotter ammunition. I worked up to around 5.4 - 5.6 grains blue dot shooting a few rounds at a time in my back yard. According to the Hornady book max is 5.7 grains so they are on the hot side. They are not very quiet but are not breaking the sound...

Midway USA has Remington Small Pistol Primers #5-1/2 on sale for $69.99 per 1,000. It also shows free shipping but you still need to pay the hazmat fee. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1601162096?pid=817298

I would like to develop a load for my full auto MAC10. The gun is a full size MAC but chambered in 9mm with an UZI mag well. Any special loading considerations for an open bolt? I’m planning to load some of what I believe is Hornady’s discontinued #35597 which is a 147 FMJ encapsulated boat...

He will need to sign up for my Only Fans if he wants to see that! 😆 Dan

I’ve been waiting for a lever action like this. I can safely shoot in my back yard as much as I want as long as I keep it quiet. Been shooting my suppressed Ruger 77/357 for years now and reloading a ton of .357/.38 special but have been wanting a lever action. When they start making this in...

Also about detonation. So from what I’ve read detonation could possible occur because of too much volume inside the case. This is why I’m seating them back further. They really aren’t crimped either. I just took the bell off the end. I think the theory of how detonation could occur is that in a...

Well I fired off about 10 rounds or so. They all went off fine. I checked my charge weights every 5 rounds or so to confirm I was at 1.4 grains of Bullseye. They all seemed pretty consistent. Nothing got stuck in the bore. You can hear the flat bullet cutting through the air very clearly. It’s...

Ok. After reading everyone’s post and considering your thoughts I decided to load up 50 more using the same 1.4 grains Bullseye. I’ll post a report tomorrow. Thanks, Dan

It’s a bolt action.

I bought a box of Hornady hollow base wadcutters back a few months ago to experiment with. I began with the published starting loads in the Hornady manual and worked up to max. They have been a lot of fun! I even loaded up a batch of them backwards which was pretty cool in water jugs. The...

Well after reading everyone’s response I decided to stick with 5 grains of unique. As GRIZ22 says it’s kind of a +P load which is basically what I’m looking for. Just a good general use .38 special load for use in my rifle that hits hard and stays subsonic. I also worked up to 4.6 grains of...

Hi everyone, I’ve been loading Berry’s thick plated 158 grain bullets for a little while in both .357 and .38 special loadings. I’ve been using 5 grains of Unique in .38 special and 6 grains Unique in .357 magnum. I’m shooting them in a Ruger 77/357 with an 11” barrel. They seem to hit pretty...

Alright here’s a picture. Other than it getting hung up when chambering the first round the setup runs like a top! The .32 acp in a heavy all steel gun with a relatively long barrel suppresses very well. I recently started reloading .32 acp so I’ve been shooting it a bunch. A custom retro...

I always thought cylinder gap and bullet jump was more of an academic consideration and didn’t really factor into real life shooting. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for explaining all this to me. Dan

I’ve been shooting a US Armament reproduction Colt 1903 with an AAC Tirant 9mm suppressor for a couple weeks now and the gun locks open when you manually chamber the first round. I think what is happening is the extra weight of the suppressor is causing the top edge of the barrel to get caught...

I just started reloading .32 ACP this week and stumbled upon something interesting. My load consists of PPU brass, Berry’s plated 71 grain bullets, CCI primer and 2.0 grains of Bullseye. I’ve loaded and fired 50 rounds so far with no malfunctions out of my Colt 1903. I had some old pressure...
