I really like this powder for 9mm minor PF loads but can't find it anywhere. I do see some Shooters World powders in stock. Does anyone know why Clean Shot is not? I realize Accurate #2 is a reasonable alternative along with VV320, Action Pistol and others but I'd prefer Clean Shot in my...

I picked up one of Midway's M1 Carbines back when they were available but haven't had a chance to play around with it since then. With so much Youtube stuff out there it is hard for a novice carbine owner to know who knows what they are talking about and who is sketchy. Would anyone have any...

I've seen more than a couple of times a poster complaining about the "coke bottle" shape of his 9mm reloads and wondering what they can do to avoid what they perceive as a problem. I'm of the mind that the "coke bottle" shape is not a bad thing but is actually something positive as it would...

I have seen these recently; any idea where they come from? Thanks!

Android phone: Is there a recommended app? If not is there a "best of the not very good" ??? Thanks! Edited to add: I should have mention this in the OP but I'm not trying to measure gun shots. Just ambient background noise. I thought this might be a good place to ask seeing as how we are...

Pros/Cons? This would be primarily used on a 9mm AR SBR with possible occasional pistol use. Does the modular capability actually get used? Is the long version used with a rifle and short with pistol?

They were available at great prices several years ago. Cabelas had them for sub $20/thousand at one point. Then they disappeared. Haven't seen them since. Is this another "the factory burned down" story? or ???

I had the good fortune to win a 42 at a raffle conducted by a LGS. (I had to buy a gun to enter the raffle.) I’ve never owned a Glock before and have very limited experience with them having put a couple of mags through a 26 and a 19 several years ago. So I’m definitely not a Glock fan...

I was transferring a bunch of just loaded 9mm Luger from the bulk container next to the press into 50 round cartridge boxes. This is the point where I give my reloads their last “quality assurance” check. I noticed two GFL marked cases with a small translucent green patch near the primer...

Since WA just legalized SBRs I'm contemplating a purchase. If I can't find what I want locally I was wondering what the process is for purchasing an SBR from an FFL/SOT in another state. I understand that it would be have to be transferred to a WA FFL/SOT. What else do I need to know...

I just noticed that there are a number of load data supplements on Westerns website; most released as of 1/27/14. I was looking at the 9mm+p data and didn't see the "+p" the first time through it. When comparing to the regular 9mm data published in version 5.0 I was wondering what the...

I’ve tried a bit of Silhouette and a bit of True Blue. I’m loading 9mm MG 124 FMJ and CMJ. Objectives are range blasting and I’d like to give IDPA SSP a try. I’m having a hard time differentiating between the two. They are close on the burn rate charts. My gut reaction is that they...

For example I’m looking at 41 mag loads using Ramshot Enforcer and True Blue. From Ramshot’s data here are two loads: 1. Enforcer with 210 Nosler JHP max pressure 35,800 2. True Blue with 210 Hornady XTP max pressure 32,000 I can see that the Enforcer 35,800 is very close to SAAMI max...

Has anybody had any experience with 41 mag rifle loads using the xtreme plated bullets? (www.xtremebullets.com) They suggest a max of 1500 feet per sec. which is faster than most plated I've seen. I did contact them and asked the same question, they said no problem. However I'd like...

Hello, I’m looking for a low end 357 load. The components I have available are: 1. Zero 125 JHP 2. True Blue or WSF 3. Once fired PMC 357 cases I have the following manuals: Speer, Lyman, Lee. I didn’t see anything for WSF. For True Blue: Lee and the Ramshop website are...

Hello, I have a question concerning COL. I’m a raw beginner loading my first rounds (9mm) on a Lee Classic Turret Press with the Pro Auto Disk and Safety Primer Feed options. I’m using the Lee 4 die carbide set with the FCD. I’ve set up the dies using Lee’s instructions. I loaded 10...

Hello to all, brand new reloader here. I've got both manuals and will be doing a bunch of reading before I ever come close to a reloading bench. Are there any strong feelings as to which would be best for the novice to read first? I'll end up reading both (as well as others I'm sure...

Hi, I have a Marlin 1894 and a bunch of FMJ (American Eagle 38 spcl) originally purchased for revolver usage. Is the FMJ safe for use given the tubular inline magazine. i.e. is it "blunt" enough to be safe? Thanks, Don.

Hello, Which manufacturers use the Colt Series 80 firing pin blocking mechanism? I think Para does? Others? Thanks!

Over the past couple of years my wife has accompanied me to the range on a number of occasions. She has always enjoyed it but never enough to make it a priority to go back again "real soon". During this period of time I've attempted to provide some education concerning the pros/cons of...
