    Advice on 9mm load?

    This is kind of long. And kind of wordy. But my reasoning is that it’ll save time to tell as much as I can. So, just to lay out the variables… I’m working on a 9mm load with HP-38 (I have six pounds…) and 125gr moly-coated conical nose bullets from Summit City (cheap). I did a ladder test and...

    Sport Pistol 9mm 115gr minimum charge?

    Hi! I did a ladder test yesterday with (new to me) Alliant Sport Pistol and Barnes 9mm 115gr bullets. I did the test with a Tanfoglio Witness Match if that matters... My best group (25-yards, sandbag rest) was at 3.8 grains, which was the minimum that I tested. I'd like to try lighter loads to...

    target load for .357 Blue Bullets?

    I recently got a pre-PC S&W 627 with a 4" barrel that I'm trying to learn how to shoot. I'm shooting steel plates at 25-yds, and I get 5 out of 6 with my 9mm Witness Match. But I can't hit squat with the .357 and I think I'm flinching. So I thought I'd ratchet down my usual 13.5 gr of 2400...

    Uneven primer hole on Dillon 650

    Hi All! I've been using a Lee universal decapping die, in it's own toolhead, to deprime cases. I then clean them in a tumbler with steel pins because I like how clean it leaves the primer pockets. Lately I've noticed that the decapping pin is not exactly centered on the case. It knocks out the...

    627 NOT performance center

    I got the itch for a revolver again, and my lgs has a 627 8-shot with a 4-inch (I think) barrel. It does NOT have the slanted underlug, but more of a traditional barrel shape. Can anyone tell me about this gun? I can't find much about it, every reference that I follow on Google is for the...

    consolidation? One platform to rule them all...?

    This may be more of a philosophical question... I have a bunch of guns, mostly cz75 variant. What's bugging me is that this means that I have a lot of different magazines. And I have to make choices about which platforms I modify, accessorize, etc. And I'm hitting the 'too many options is as...

    thinking of jumping ship: LNL to 650???

    I'm sorry if this has already been done a million times, but I've been frustrated (for quite a while) with my press and am thinking of switching sides. What I guess I really want to know is, have any of you made the switch from Hornady to Dillon? If so, was it worth it? I've had my press since...

    just about ready to give up

    I'd like to apologize in advance, but this may be more venting than actually presenting a solvable problem. I have been reloading for about 10 years. All of it on a Hornady LNL press. Pistol and rifle. In that time I honestly don't think I've even ONCE made it through 500 rounds without having...

    HP-38 and 9mm disappointed

    Hi All! I recently got a large quantity of HP-38 and want to use it for 9mm. I made up some loads using xtreme 124's, shooting 4, 4.2, and 4.4 grains off sandbags at 25-yards. None of the groups were very encouraging, however, averaging around 6 inches... Looking at the Hodgdon site, it...

    S&W 17-2 (and pile of other stuff)

    So... what would you do if you were just handed a bunch of guns that don't exactly fit into the type of shooting you do? Accept being burned a bit in trading them toward something you really want? Hang onto them? Restore them? Just shoot them and be happy? I was recently given (!) several...
