Hi Guys, I bought this pistol new a while back and I am having problems developing a load that will reliably cycle the action. I have been using W231 in various weights under a 115 grain Berry's round nose. Been loading with COL at 1.5". Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks...

I live in Texas and am getting to make a move out of state. Can I legally sell components such as 1 lb. containers of powder at a garage sale? Thanks. Historian

I recently purchased some Sierra 65g Gamekings. Neither the Hodgdon website nor any of my manuals give suggested powder weights for that weight of bullet. I am using H4198 (I know that it's not the best powder for a .223 but it's the only one I can get). Does anyone know what would be a good...

By mistake, I picked up a batch of cast lead 115g 9mm bullets (round nose). They measure .350 at the base. Anything that I need to know before seating/shooting them? Thanks. Historian

I recently purchased a Hornady OAL guage to measure the chamber on my .223 Bushmaster Varminter. After using it several times and getting the same result, I determined the the bullet jump on this rifle is nearly 1"??? Am I doing something wrong? The rifle is very accurate but this seems like...

Does anyone know of a way to keep the turret headbolt from backing out as I move the turret head back and forth between stations? As I move the turret from decap/sizing to charging to seating and then back, the bolt gets loose and the turret head develops more and more play. Is there a way to...

I know that I am opening a can of worms here but could I please get some OBJECTIVE (please) opinions about the RCBS Turret Press? Thanks, Historian

I have been digging through my manuals (five of them) and can't find a recipe for using Power Pistol on a 155g Berry's for my .40 S&W. Has anyone had experience loading a 155g lead bullet using Power Pistol? Plenty of data for FMJs but nothing for lead in that weight. Thanks. Historian...

I am in the fortunate positon of having some extra cash on hand and would like to buy a very good semi-auto for concealed carry. Suggestions please. Thanks, Historian ____________ "A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely undo the liberties of America than the...

Has anyone had experience cleaning AR15 parts with this ultrasound cleaner? Will the bolt carrier fit into the cleaner? What do you use as a cleaning medium? Thanks. Historian ______________ "A general dissloution of principles and manners will more undo the liberties of America than the...

Just got my year end email from cheaperthandirt.com. They are advertising 500 new, unprimed pieces of Lake City .223 brass for $79.50 plus shipping. I have purchased a couple of lots of this in the past and I have not been disappointed. I am still loading and shooting them except for the ones...

Can someone tell me the difference between CCI Brench Rest SR primers and their standard SR primers? Does one have an advantage over the other? Historian

I asked this question several months ago. Just thought I'd see if anything had changed. What's your .22LR ammo of choice? I still like CCI Mini-Mags. What's your favorite? Historian

Has anyone tried this new Ruger SR 22? I am looking to get one for Christmas and pass it on to my grandson someday. What's your opinion? Is it any good? I've heard good things and bad things about it so I thought I'd check with the guys who know. Thanks in advance. Historian

What do you use to lube your press and how often do you lube it? Historian

Just got back from the range where I fired 200 rounds of .40 S&W from my M&P. They were all primed with Wolf sp primers and loaded in the past week. Out of 200 rounds, 15 failed to fire. I guess you get what you pay for. Historian

I have been using 5.2g of W231 behind a 180g bullet for my .40 S&W. I do not have my Lyman # 49 with me to check but I was thinking that this is slightly over the starting load. Did I missread the chart? Is this too hot? Historian

I know that I need to reduce my charge by 10% or more but are there any other problems associated with using magnum SP primers in an M&P .40? Right now, with standard primers, I am using 5.2g of W231. If I drop 3/4g will that be sufficient? I have been told by my guy at the reloading store...

Has anybody heard of this proposed legislation? I got an email from a friend stating that this is an amendment to the Federal Income Tax Code which would require gun owners to state the number of guns they own on their 2009 Income Tax return along with some other rather ugly provisions. I am...

I have probably taken this gun down two dozen times without a problem since I bought it new. Today when I got home from the range, I set up to clean it but when I attempted to release the slide, it would not come off. Checked the take down lever and repeated the proceedure about four or five...
