    Folding Stock in IL

    I am looking to put a folding stock on a single shot H&R that has been cut down to 16" barrel which would put my overall length folded under 22". My question is whether it is legal or not. I cannot find any thing about folding stocks and overall length in IL laws. Everything I have read...

    S&W Ghost ring sight blade

    This is my S&W 686. I read about a ghost ring sight blade for revolvers and was very intrigued by the idea. I did a lot of searching and the best thing I could come up with was a guy making them for rugers and other rifles. No one else makes anything for S&W as far as I know. I know one...

    Sizing down 44mag to .415

    I know a 44mag SWC is .430 inches. I need a bullet .415. Is it possible to size down a 44 mag SWC 7.5mils all the way around to .415? How many steps? Please keep in mind I will have to buy the custom sizes from Lee at $30 a pop. Thanks, Matt

    Hey does anyone have any sub sonic load data for a 444 marlin? I have read how trailboss is used in other rifle cartridges for subsonic loads. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Matt

    357 sig vs. 45 ACP

    I am looking to buy an S&W M&P Compact in one of these calibers. I want it for a bedside, target shooting, and possible concealed carry. From a self defense standpoint, which would be better for my uses? Thanks, Matt

    357 sig vs. 45 ACP

    I realize this may not be the most applicable place but hear me out. I am looking to get a S&W M&P compact in one of these two calibers. I want this for a bed side gun, target shooting, and if I ever move to MO I will conceal carry with it. Now on a reloading stand point, what are the...

    75gr 38spl Wadcutter

    Has anyone ever heard of a 75 grain wadcutter for the 38 spl? The local guy I buy cast bullets off of just got a mold in for them. He said its the same as the Lyman 358101 mold. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with it and what their loads were. Thanks, Matt

    Slugging an SKS Bore

    I have an SKS I am going to start reloading for but I need to slug the bore to get the right bullet size. I have never slugged a bore but I do know the basic process. What size of lead ball should I use to slug it? and where can I get just a couple? Thanks, Matt

    Star Crimp on Once Fired Brass

    I bought 500 once fired 223 cases the other day at a flea market. Gave $20 for em. About 5 cases were weird. They had a star crimp on the neck like they were blanks or something. I have never seen anything like it and was wondering if that was normal. Obviously I can't reload it but...

    Does anyone have one of these moulds?

    I am looking at the Lyman 410663 mould and was wondering if anyone had one. I was also wondering what it would take to talk someone into sending me a few bullets to try if I paid the postage. Thanks, Matt

    .410 rifled choke

    I am looking for something that may not exist. I am looking for a rifled choke for a 410. I don't care what its for, just that its for a 410. I think I have read somewhere that in Russia you can buy one for a saiga 410 but I have had zero luck finding one as of now. Could you please tell me...

    357 Mag revolver and AA#5

    I was getting ready to load up some 357 mag mid range loads for my new to me S&W 686 and I was getting some load data for a 158 gr. XTP from about 3 different sources. Two sources were around 8.7 to 9.8, one of those is straight from Accurate arms. Now I've always been told to use the powder...

    XD Vs. Glock

    Thinking about a polymer autoloader in my future. Getting a 45acp. I reload so the full supporting chamber of the XD is a plus and they are accurate but everything I hear about glock 45's is that they are amazingly accurate as well and indestructible. I can buy a Glock for $460 or an XD for...

    Re-machine a mold

    I had an idea to make a buckhammer style slug mold for a 20 gauge that can be used with standard shotgun wads cut to size. My conundrum lies with the cost. It would cost way to much to have a mold machined out of raw stock so I thought of another way. What do you think of getting a different...

    load testing

    Hey guys, I just started reloading a few weeks ago and I have a batch of .223 test loads, with different charges to test using benchmark powder. But there is an issue that keeps creeping in the back of my mind. I am headed back to my parents house in central IL next weekend where we have a...
