    H. Universal Quandry.

    9mm 124grn JRN. H. Universal. Shooting it in a S&W Shield Trying for some mid range loads. Looking in the Speer #12 reloading manual it shows 4.5 min to 5.0 max.

    Fixing Fiber Optic Front Sight

    Just got a used S&W 9mm Shield. Front sight is a red fiber optic rod. It slides forward and backward and am wondering if I can just take a soldering iron and flatten it so it won't slide back and forth. Not sure it will come out the way it is but don't want it to do that while I am shooting...

    Prove what kind of Powder?

    If you have seen/followed/posted on my other thread http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=770982 I started pulling the bullets today on non marked boxes. Bullets are 124 grn FMJ.

    Did I get a good deal. I thought so.

    S&W Shield. Lady wanted $300 but thought that was too low so told her $350. Yeah I know but her husband just passed away and don't really want to cheat her. 2500 rds of reloaded ammo. Not sure if I like that but all the boxes have data on them so maybe it's not a bad thing. What do you think...

    Removing Rear Sight

    Have a Springfield 1911 that has a broken Bomar rear sight on it. Would like to remove the base on it but can't remember which way the sight goes in. I think from the right. Before I go beating on it would like to verify this. Anyone know which way? thanks dave

    223 and 22-250

    Have a Ruger M77 in 22-250 and a T/C in 223 with 10" and 14" barrels. I'm trying to use some/all the same components. Would like to stay with 50-52 grain bullets and hopefully the same powder. If powder won't work I would like to shoot the same bullet so I can buy them in bulk. Anyone have...

    357 mag 158gr LSWC Unique loads DUMB Mistake!!

    In my other thread (http://www.thehighroad.org//showthread.php?t=574058) I asked about loads for Unique.

    357 mag 158gr LSWC Unique loads

    The only powder that I could get that was reasonable was Unique. Hear lots of people say it's a good powder for mid-range 357 loads. Darned if I can find any data for it. Have lots of books some new some older but no real data for a load. Anyone have a load they want to share for 357 158 LSWC...

    Mid Range 357 loads

    Just got new to me a Security-Six w/4" barrel. Of course I go to look for components and all I have is brass. So I have to buy everything else so I thought I would ask here what powder do you guys think would be best for mid range loads. Don't want to shoot 38's thru it. Would like to use 158...
