My father-in-law (awesome guy) just gave me a few of his old guns and there was a Ruger Super Blackhawk in the box. It has a 7.5 inch barrel and the serial number dates it to 1986. I wanted to get a new set of grips for this revolver, but I got really confused when I searched for them. It...

Today was the opening day for a new gun range down the street from where I live. It is so close that I can see the range from my house! I have been really excited about this for several months since my local gun shop started work on building a range. For the past few years I have been driving...

I see from another thread that we have some people that are very experienced with the Lee Pro 1000 and I have some questions. (I'm trying not to jack the other guys thread). I have been loading about 5K rounds per year of .40S&W on a single stage press and it's getting old. I need to hand...

I recently acquired a 1911 Commander clone in .40S&W as I'm trying to get down to reloading only one caliber. Anyways, I'd like to swap some parts off of other 1911s that I have. In particular, I have another 1911 (Government .45ACP) that has a light, crisp trigger pull that I want in my...

First off, I'm not affiliated with this (or any) gun shop. I was in the gun range in Crestwood on Friday (not sure what the exact name of the place is) and they had a Ruger LCP and the new rough texture Glock 22 in the showroom. The LCP was priced at $345 and the salesman told me they had two...

I went to a different library in my county (in Kentucky) than the one I regularly visit and the sign shown below was posted outside. Ironically, I didn't have my Ruger LCP with me because it is at the factory for a recall (no lectures please, I'm already in the market for a back-up carry...

I need a new powder funnel as I can't seem to make my Lee funnel work for 9mm. It fits the .45ACP case perfectly, but it is both too deep and wide for the smaller case. I am using a single stage press and a scoop measure for powder, but I need a better way to get the powder in the case. I...

This is a question that I had to answer for myself, but it may help others. Where is the "break even point" on 45ACP with reloading versus buying off the shelf? The answer for me was 1000 rounds. Here is the math: Walmart price (cheapest around) for 100 rounds 45ACP = $32.99 X10 =...

This weekend I'll be taking my first batch of reloads to the range and I would like the opinion of more experienced reloaders about my game plan. I have loaded the following 45 ACP rounds: Magnus 230 grain lead round nose bullets Mixed brass (range pickups) OAL 1.264 (the avg length of my...

With ammo costs rising I recently began acquiring the gear to reload 45 ACP for my 1911. Part of that process was picking up range brass at my outdoor club following a USPSA match. The first time out I scored about 170 45 cases, but I also hauled in 400 9mm and 500 40S&W cases. My first...
