    Best Caliber That Never Took-off

    32 Win Special My favorite Deer Rifle is chambered in this round, and I find it much better for it's intended purpose than the 30-30 it was based on.

    Oh it's change alright... and I beleive it's happening. I just don't agree with 99% of it.

    Legality of Ordering a Gun Online for a friend?

    Your biggest problem is convincing the FFL that HE is not illegally buying a gun for YOU. The transaction has all the signs of a Straw Purchase, even if it isn't.

    Have a 4 hole turret but only using 3 dies, should I use 4?

    For Pistol I use the Lee Deluxe Carbide Die set. Almost all of them come with four dies. 1. Decapper / Sizer 2. Expander / Charge 3. Seater 4. Factory Crimp Come to think of it, I use the same for Rifle. I purchased the Lee Pacesetter set, putting a Lee Universal Charging Die in...

    7.62x54R

    I had considered reloading this cartridge, however there is still plenty of relatively cheap surplus ammo available that is just is not cost effective to reload.

    Would Incorporation effect the Lautenberg Amendment?

    Challenging Lautenberg should not require incorporation. It's a Federal Law and the 2nd Amendment Already applys to the Federal Government.

    Why I'm a Happy Reloader...

    I just did some fresh 7.62x39 Loads Even after paying extorted rates for some of the Components I came out ahead. This is a caliber that many don't reload because there is cheap combloc stuff available. 7.62x39 Privi Brass 10.00 per 100 0.100 (Assuming ability to...

    30-30 neck sizing

    If the primers are "sticking out", I would not let them near a tube fed lever action. It's just not safe.

    Keep a close eye on Cabela's backorders

    This may be to comply with Federal Law regarding Back-Orders over 6 Weeks. They are required to confirm that you still want the item.

    I was given a pound of Tightwad what can I do with it?

    The word from Hodgdon is that TiteWad peaks without warning. 3.1 grains might be just fine and show no signs of over pressure while 3.2 would cause the gun to explode.

    Local gun shops and the shortage

    I have always tried to support my local shops when possible, even though their prices are a bit higher than the Super Stores (IE Cabelas or Wholesale Sports), but recently the price difference has gotten out of hand. I paid my local guy $34 dollars each for a pound of Varget and a pound of...

    I was given a pound of Tightwad what can I do with it?

    Actually, you were most likely given 3/4 LB of TiteWad, as for some reason (probably to make it look cheaper) they package it in 3/4 LB canisters instead of full LB canisters like most other powders. The official stance of Hodgdon seems to be that it's a Shotgun powder ONLY and any other use...

    Probably a dumb question..

    When I'm loading using all new components including new brass, I am obviously not RE-Loading.

    9mm 147grain Montana Gold

    Sure enough.... I read from the wrong (AA #2) line. So I was right for the wrong reason :) Indeed, 3.9 is to low for my 147 grain bullet. I'll bump it up to 4.8 and see where it goes from there.

    9mm 147grain Montana Gold

    Trying to come up with a decent load for this bullet. I come up with 3.9 grains of AA#5, but don't really like the idea of that tiny volume of powder behind such a large bullet. Even in the tiny 9mm case it's a pretty small amount. Another option would be AA#7, but I can't find any. I do...

    No Guns Allowed Signs

    You may have a problem there. If the hospital provides mental health services, state law prohibits firearms. NorthWest Hospital is one that does this, however if you look carefully, the entire hospital is not posted. The ER and most of the external clinics are not posted. The main...

    What are your top two handgun powders?

    Bullseye and AA#5 W231 would be on the list also, but putting #5 on there gives me a Fast and Medium powder.

    Gunshop Observations

    Guy walks into gunstore and asks one of the employees about reloading equipment. He explains that he has a 9mm hand gun and wants to reload ammo for it rather than rely on somewhat instable supply and higher prices of commercial ammo. He said he shoots about 50 - 100 rounds a month. They...
