hey, i have been soo broke the last 3 months, finally got another job a few weeks ago, only like 100 bucks a week but better than nothing. cant really afford much shooting right now, i have fired like 24 rounds of 45 ACP in the last 2 months!! im gonna gradually build up my stock of supplies...

i was watchin dirty harry and started to wander what the he!! id do if i got pulled over by someone impersonating a cop, and the impersonator just walks up and draws to fire on you? what could you even do in a situation like that? get shot?

what is the shortest possible length to load the XTP to? going by three references/manuals im pretty sure it is .965, but i had them loaded to .975 just to be on the safe side(pressure) and they did not want to feed and we never went past firing round #1. my pressure is low im sure, im only...

well i just got a lyman 600 vibratory "tumbler".... and in the same order i also got a new pack of winchester .204 brass and WOW its super shiny! fir the last day or two i have been tumbling my 45 acp cases mixing a half cup of the green lyman media that came with the tumbler and 3 cups of...

well i am not really comfortable with the idea of having my 1911 in my backpack (on a Sportster) on the way to a friends house and passing through a road check or something on the way, would having the barrel, slide and frame apart from each other, along with the empty mags in my pistol case...

just thought it might make for good reading, particularly stories from WAY back, i often hear of deer hunting with 22lr/mag, even killed with shorts.. i like 22lr but any of the old, or new rimfires count, maybe 22 hornet also since its a neat little cartridge. myself, nothing larger than...

i have seen a few compensators for 1911's, im not really interester in the compensator itself, but how it attaches to the pistol.... i have a 5" RIA 1911 and there is absolutely no room to screw anything onto the end of the barrel, so does that mean its only for commander 4" 1911's with a 5"...

i only see shot capsules for 45 LC and not the ACP, i dont have equiptment to turn a .308 or 30/06 down to a long acp for shot, (thanks anyhow rcmodel) can the long capsules be used an a auto and do they work well?

i know i saw a thread on this but cannot find it and if you know the one im talking about please post a link, it was within the last two months in the legal forum but i could not find it. so i have the case that came with my 1911, is it alright to carry an empty pistol and mags in this case...

i was checking out some XTP's online and this place is cheaper than midway! a scam or something, anyone delt with these guys?

well they dont expand! i loaded 20 with 8.2g AA#5 and std primer, i did not chrono the load yet but i thought for sure these would easily expand if shot through a milk jug! this sucks, anyone else have this problem? shot out of a 5" 1911 so i should be in the 800+fps zone with...

i am more interested in the first one...."that they stopped making ammo for in 1903" the second one is interesting also, scoped with silencer, drum fed, and fires a round with low enough velocity to be subsonic.

i see plenty of data for 230g jacketed bullets, but none listed as only for the 230xtp, and id be leery of generalized data like i see in the lee manual, or using similar load data for other bullets. the case seems that XTP's always have different COL's and max loads than other types of JHP...

in another thread i am considering using round ball in 45 auto...... if i have some leading from the round ball, would a heavily lubed SWC possibly help remove the leading? reason i ask is i had been coating my SWC with rooster jacket size then shoot, the lee sizer die just pushes the lube...

wandering if anyone tested this before? any way possible to load some 45's quite as a cb short from a .22?

my main issue to overcome i think would be feeding, and im not worried about leading. thinking card base wad and overshot wad, heavy crimp, but would this profile likely feed?

recently one of my friends bought a handgun through a private party sale, i suppose it would be registered to the origonal owner, but would she need to now have it registered to herself in order to legally transport to and from the range and avoid any problems if there is a traffic stop on the way?

for those with a chrono, i am aware that factory ammo does not always live up to its claims about the velocity they get, but have you reached the velocity with safe reloads? i remember seeing a box of nosler partitiones and was amazed at the claimed velocity, like 2900fps for a 165 or 180 grain...

i no longer have a job, money is kinda tight. tonight i scored 300 loaded rounds of 45ACP plus 500 sized and primed cases for 30 bucks total:D.... the 300 loaded rounds are reloads, except for 35, they are factory winchester 230g FMJ... as for the other 265... i need to pull them since i have no...

title says it all. i recently found an error with my reloading scale and am trying to decide if i need to rework my loads for my 40grain and 30grain V-Max's. they shoot sub MOA at 100 yards but i cannot seem to hit much other than targets, i worked the trajectory, gradually backing up to just...
