An enthusiastic article in Feb American Rifleman about Smith’s new 350 revolver for the 350 Legend. Only problem is S&W warned users not to fire .357 Mag rounds in it because the bullets are too big. [edit] S&W didn't say the bullets were too big. The author, Kelly Young, assumed that was the...

Not being much of a Bullseye, neh Precision Pistol, shooter I hadn’t paid much attention to the goings on in that sport. Then this summer the local club announced their Bullseye matches would be held under CMP rules rather than NRA. Hmmmm. From what I read not a lot of significant difference...

12 years and 100k reloads you know some things are going to wear. (6 years ago I emptied the waste can used for spent primers. I did several sample counts then weighed the whole can and estimate 65,000 spent primers. I've back off reloading during the primer shortage for the past two years...

My older Walker Bluetooth buds died from misuse and I decided to replace them. However I determined that I really didn't have any use for the Bluetooth feature. When I shoot, I shoot. I don't need text messages or phone calls interrupting me and I tried but don't want music while I'm...

If you shot the match you heard that at least 20 times. Thankfully the Chrono guys didn't repeat the shpeel. Not putting down Beretta or Federal. I like them both. ANYBODY ELSE SHOOT last weekend? A blast. 7 stages a day for 3 days. 349 rounds down range. Weather was perfect, though a...

I've wanted for some time to explore the world of Programmable Logic Controllers, microprocessors on a board. I've have a background in everything from mainframes (Univac VS & IBM 360) to PC/MACs and everything in-between. With languages from Assembler at the OS level to SQL, Algol, Pacal...

I reload. I have since a buddy introduce me to the Lee whack-o-mole in 1970. A few years back, I took all my accumulated spent primers and computed that I had over 70,000 just on the LnL AP. No telling how many before that. And a wild guess is I've added another 30,000 since that...

Long before Hornady or Dillion offered counters I had made my own. This is the third revision. I've improved greatly on the detection switches and a minor tweak to the circuit so that it won't count when the primer tray is empty. In between Rev 2 and Rev 3 I reloaded ~10,000 rounds without a...

SO..... In another thread I learned about spring loaded decappers. Dillion makes them for their resizing dies and RCBS makes them as well. Got one Dillion .357 resizing die and I love it. In a fit of euphoria I order 2 RCBS springloaded decappers. BUT, they don't fit my Hornady dies...

Oh. Wow! My NRA Counselor showed me his MantisX during a training session and it was one of those moments when I knew I had to have it. Just came in this weekend and in the first couple of hours with it I have put in 500 rounds dry-fire. Dry fire has never been very satisfying because...

[Long war story] No, this isn't about a WWII CMP gun, but about a 1970 (almost C&R) Mk IV 70 series. Actually, I wouldn't even call it a 70 "series", this is one of the original 1970s 1911s. Bought while still an E4 earning a whopping $3,000/yr from USAF. Had to have it. Local gun store out...

(This is factory ammo, so this thread doesn't belong in handloading, no?) I have a 6" 686 who is very picky about ammo. So today I was running through everything I had .38spl and .357mag to figure what works best. (158grs are best, 124gr print about 12" at 25yds ) Anyway I got a "Pfffft"...

Shooting my .458Socom from a Lead Sled and when I went to put it away the stock wouldn't collapse. Huh? Got it home and determined that I had severely bent the stock adjustment bolt. This is the bolt/stud that holds the adjustable AR stock in each of the detent positions. Went on...

Ontelauntee Rod & Gun Club. Nice place. I was amiss in not posting sooner to see who was going. There were four of us from GA ICORE and while we didn't win any big prizes we had a hoot and shot well. The COF only had 2 movers, both on one stage. But then there was a lot of steel...

I realize, as far as handgun ammo goes, the 9mm is probably the most popular. Followed in no particular order by .40S&W and .45ACP. Maybe .380ACP. But no less than 5th you'd think would be .38Spl. At least I'd think. I need, yes NEED, S&B 38P. Which runs at the lowest, ~$28.50/100ct. But...

This was just unusual and I thought I'd share. It is relevant to Reloading in that it was a result of poor reloading, a squib. Started this under Reloading Mistake of the Week but thought the follow up could use its own thread. "Squib Removal Mistake of the Year". I haven't loaded 148gr...

(This isn't "handload" or "reload" as such but I we don't think we have a Factory Ammo forum.) Was testing a number of loads yesterday in my 8-3/8" 686-_ and I wanted to see where Hornady factory ammo shot on target compared to my handloads. This is Hornady .357Mag 158gr XTP. #90562...

For those who didn't read last year's threads. There are brass out there with Ammoload, and other headstamps, that have a thick, stepped base. It only serves to act as a point of failure. Creates such a neat separation though. Few could cut a case so neatly. One thing I noticed, not...

March 30 in Orlando. I'll be there, shooting Classic as a Super Senior. Anybody else from THR?
