    XD45 trigger

    Just bought a used, full size XD45. It has an aftermarket trigger parts group and recoil spring assembly. The trigger has minimal take up, decent creep, and crisp break. I'm a long time performance 1911 shooter and self proclaimed "trigger snob" and this XD trigger is way better than any...

    Neck sizing with/without expander ball

    Getting some out of round necks with fired 338 Lapua brass, both new and after firing. Neck sizing is not restoring them to round. Don't want to pull an expander ball after the neck sizer as I want my neck sizer bushing to set neck internal dimension. Question: use larger expander ball to...

    Hornady concentricity gauge

    Got the tool and it works great for checking runout. Bought the neck wall thickness gauge to go with it and I couldn't be more disappointed. There is way too much play in it to be accurate. Maybe I'm asking too much from the add-on kit when an entirely different tool may be better suited for...

    Powder identification

    I've been loading subsonic .308 for a friend using Trail Boss. A coworker of his bought some loaded 308 subsonics at a gun show and has been shooting them with no problem. I acquired one from him and knocked it apart and the powder looks like very small confetti. Flat like paper and about...

    Leupold Competition 45X question

    I bought a Savage 12F benchrest rifle years ago when it first came out. I put a Leupold Competition 45x scope on it at that time. I used the rifle infrequently at 300 yards and lost interest in it a year later. Recently I have met a couple of guys who have been shooting at 500-1000 yards...

    Wichita sight on Smith 45LC

    Have a Wichita rail sight with 4 settings for elevation. Problem is the dial for the 4 settings jumps from recoil, taking it out of the selected elevation. Anyone familiar with the sight and possibly a cause or remedy?

    Starline 45ACP+P brass scratching Dillon 650 powder funnel

    Brand new Starline 45ACP+P brass is scratching the powder funnel. Leverage required to lower shell plate is tremendous, torquing my bench more than 50BMG resize. all other brass works fine. I have loaded more than 100,000 45ACP in the last 8 years and have never seen this. Are the case...

    Disturbing thread on another site

    Was looking on tractor forums for service advice on my Kubota and landed at a tractor forum thread about stopping theft with an electrical disconnect of some kind. The first three posts were on topic and then the trouble began. Numerous posters chimed in that stopping theft was impossible...

    Reference guide for 1911 recoil spring weights?

    Looking for a basic 1911 recoil spring reference guide, to assist in providing a starting point. Should reflect projectile material, weight, velocity, I would guess. Anything out there? Thanks

    Sig P220ST rail odd size?

    Have had a 220 with a rail for a few years and thought I might put a light on it for bedside table use. Bought a TLR-1 and it does not fit. What does?

    Stuck case 44 Magnum

    Had a brand new Starline 44mag case separate almost in half in a Model 94 AE. The half case extracted. The other half of the case is still in the gun. I'm at a loss how to remove the stuck piece. Also at a loss as to what happened. The batch of ammo was loaded to moderate pressure...

    your favorite tumbler

    My 10 year old Midway 1292 croaked, never really cared for it though. I have a Cabelas that I really like. The media rolls over the top with a little more action. Looking for more capacity in a similar type to the Cabelas unit. The Dillons look similar, as do the RCBS. I do my heavy...

    Wet tumbling with pins

    I've done about 20 loads so far. Many different calibers. Perfect system. No dust. Brass looks like it came in a Starline box. I put this tumbler right up there with my Dillon 650 and my Giraud trimmer.

    Wet tumbling with stainless pins

    Just cleaned my first batch. WOW! I'm sold. About 300 pieces of 45 ACP and it looks brand new. I've never gotten that with either of my 2 tumblers or any of the different brands of media. NO DUST!!!!!!! I HATE THE DUST!!!!!!! To you guys that have ridden this horse, I need to know how...

    30 AR brass?

    Shot a Remington R-15 the other day. 30AR caliber. Timney trigger. Ragged hole at 100 yards. Thinking about an upper but brass seems to be a problem. Also, anyone seeing this case necked to 6.5?

    Non hunter going hunting...what gun?

    I'm a target shooter, not a hunter. I shoot tens of thousands of rounds downrange every year, at my range. I've been invited to go hog hunting and need to select a gun. I collect old Winchesters and am inclined to take my 1876 in 45-75 for nostalgic reasons. I also have levers in 38-40...

    Factory ammo saturated with lacquer thinner

    Friend found 30 boxes sitting in a puddle of lacquer thinner. I told him to discard the packaging, let it dry, and it will fire. But he should keep it out of the general population just in case. Any comments, concerns?

    Dillon 650 turning primers sideways 38WCF

    I know...I know...call Dillon. I will tomorrow. Just did a caliber change from 45ACP to 38-40. Relevance being, nothing changed with the primer handling. I have a lot of experience with the 650 with lots of calibers. It seems as though the shell plate is not advancing 100% to the next...
