Has anyone used the Infante S9 ultrasonic cleaner for handguns and AR15s? I'm looking for feedback on how well they work when the proper cleaning solution is used and the directions are followed for cleaning handguns, AR15s, and other guns. I'm not too concerned with cleaning brass since I am...

In using a rotary tumbler, the brass comes out quite clean. It may be too clean as pistol brass becomes difficult to resize, etc., as friction takes over and I have to really press up on the lever to get the ram to come down and get the brass out of the die. Does anyone else have this same...

Shooting them? That's not a problem at all. Getting them clean, to include the carbon build-up? I'm behind on that for sure.

If I pick up a Rebel 17 rotary tumbler and media separator from StainlessTumblingMedia, what other things are handy for someone moving from a dry, vibratory tumbler? Is a food dehydrator a good thing to have? Is some sort of magnet necessary? Do I need extra steel pins or cleaning solution? Am...

I put a set of RCBS .45 ACP carbide dies on a Dillon 550B. Running Berry's .45 plated round nose bullets in the bullet seating stage, bullets are occasionally sliced/gouged just below the nose by the round nose bullet seater. I could probably bell the case more or sand the inside edges of the...

I've started to have some issues with my Lee seating die on my Dillon 550B. Cleaning hasn't helped. It's been years since I started using the set that I have mounted right now. Rust has not been my friend at all in the garage, the dies also show wear and tear, and this may be right time to...

The last couple of nights, I trimmed over 1000 .223/5.56 cases and primed them. Tonight, I inspected and trimmed about 400 more and then I primed them with the hand primer that I always use for my rifle loads. When I got done and was putting things away, I realized that the blue Winchester box...

I just picked up a Redfield Revolution 4-12x40mm, and I love it. Influencing my purchase decision was that it's made in USA. I could have opted for super-cheap and could have gone with another brand from another country, but I feel much better knowing that I can support fellow Americans by...

I'm going to use Berry's 125 gr HP bullets for some .38 spl loads. I have Bullseye and Win 231 powders. I haven't used these bullets before. Can anyone recommend a load for either of these two powders? Thanks.

Greetings: If you've purchased and used a new timer in the last year, could you please make a recommendation for someone who is looking to purchase a timer that will be used for both handgun and rifle competition/training? Thanks, straightShot

Buying powder online - suggestions needed I've been poking around in the quest to purchase powder online. I choke when I see the shipping and hazmat fees. Can anyone suggest where it would make the most sense to purchase some powder online? Thanks, straightShot

The new year is just around the corner. Does anyone know if additional firearms are going to be added to the C&R eligible list next year? Take a kid shooting, straightShot

I did a search on timers, and I couldn't find a recent thread. I'd like to purchase one soon, and possibly also a chronograph. If you wouldn't mind telling me what you like and don't like about your particular model, I'd appreciate any comments and recommendations that you may have...

I was sitting here last night, and I started thinking about Ruger Single Six revolvers and that I might need one... Which is the more common of these two barrel lengths, 5.5 inch or 6.5 inch? Which might you prefer? I was just wondering what other folks consider to be the more common...

Where might one get a front sight for a Ballester Molina? I've searched Numrich, etc., without luck. Thanks. straightShot

This disgusts me, and this guy is sure out in left field. This appeared in The Macomb Daily (in Macomb County, MI) on 13-March-2005. The last line is especially sickening: My wife even cut the article out and thought that I'd be sending a rebuttal by now. This guy is indeed nuts to say...

One of the students in my CPL class yesterday is a tow truck driver. During a discussion regarding the safe storage of firearms, he added that he has on mulitple occasions participated in drug busts. During these busts, he would remove safes that were bolted down or sunk into concrete in both...

I've finally added .38 spl to the calibers that I reload. Recently, I reloaded and used up all of the SJHP bullets that I purchased 20+ years years ago. (Yep, quite a time span from purchasing to reloading and also moving a couple of times...) Now, since I'm finally reloading this caliber...

What are the differences between the Ruger Mark II and the new Ruger Mark III .22s? Has anyone purchased a Mark III? straightShot
