    If you were going to buy a higher end 1911, or a higher end shooter of any kind.............?

    Bang for buck would be a second hand Dan Wesson, really an excellent pistol.

    SELLIER & BELLOT Primers anyone using them?

    While I haven't shot thousands, I've shot a few hundred, which all went bang. I find they seat a little snug, but they're good to go from my limited experience. I was skeptical before I bought, now I wish I had bought more than the7K from Cabelas. David

    Changing different powders

    Load variance between books with 115gr XTP

    To this point I've only set up my powder drop and seating die to accommodate this load. I will be making some test loads for a trip to the gun club in a couple of weeks to see what works best. I was loading all my target ammo at 1.135 with 4.2 of Titegroup with no problems, the OAL I'm going for...

    Got a CZ P-09

    I too am real happy I got one. Ironically it was sort of a "maybe I'll get that one too" when I bought my PPQ M2, to this point I like it more. PPQ trigger is way light for my experience with triggers like that. I'll work on it though, it's also a fabulous weapon.

    Load variance between books with 115gr XTP

    Completely understood. I use LRN data for my Ranier, Berry's, and X-treme loads with titegroup. Thank you to all who weighed in. David

    Load variance between books with 115gr XTP

    I'm going to be loading SD rounds (not concerned with the legal part) and I'll be using 115gr XTP, Power Pistol, Federal primers and Winchester brass. Lee 2nd edition says 5.9 - 6.7, Lyman 49th says 5.9 - 6.5. Lee has a OAL of 1.125 and Lyman has 1.090, they will be used in a CZ P09 and M&P...

    Do y'all return unused powder from your drop hopper to the original container?

    Aside from the possibility of mixing powders, is there actually a problem with leaving your powder in the hopper? I only load 9mm, only titegroup, so I have nothing to confuse it with. Transferring the powder from the Lee auto back to the container is a bit of a pain/messy process. So is it...

    good/accurate digital scale

    I have the Frankford Arsenal too, it's pretty accurate for what it costs. I still like to periodically check it against my 505, it's not as accurate as the mechanical scales, but for speed and convenience of making target ammo, the small deviations are acceptable.

    What clever little things have you "invented or discovered" that you can share?

    I use the tarp method. It's cheap, simple and effective for me. My back thanks me :D

    An essay: Progressive Press Takes the Fun Out of Reloading

    I use the LCT, and frankly it's just right. I find the process relaxing and enjoyable, I have no need/desire to be able to produce ammo rapidly. Different strokes for different folks.

    What clever little things have you "invented or discovered" that you can share?

    I do the same zero/tare on each case after resized and primed. On the very first 20 reloads I made, the third was a squib. After I understood the ramifications of a squib, I figuee this was a great way to eliminate that possibility. I will also check the stated weight of the digital scale on...

    Need help in choosing a 9mm

    I have the shield, and find it to be quite accurate for a short barreled gun. At 10 Yards it was very surprising how well it shot.

    PPQ - Such a girl's gun...

    A couple of weeks ago I went and shot with my daughter at my gun club (who is estranged from my wife, and not welcome at our home) I enjoyed being able to spend time with her, sharing a hobby, and hopefully teaching her a little about handguns. Good for her and good for you. BTW just...

    Pistol powder jackpot!!!! YES finally

    I joined a gun club about two weeks ago and scored an 8# jug of Titegroup for $130 out the door. They tell me they carry stuff with just minimal markup for their members only. I was quite happy :) David

    1st squib ever. Now what????

    A few weeks back on my first 20 9mm reloads, I had a squib. I was at a friends house who is very knowledgeable with reloading/weapons, he was able to remove the bullet and the rest fired as they should, I was a bit dismissive about the squib initially (ignorant about the true danger) When I got...

    9mm shooters what weight bullet and type do you use?

    Ranier, Xtreme, Berrys plated 115gr over 4.2 Titegroup. Performs consistently.

    What Auto do you use for Home Defense and why???

    XDM 45 with streamlight TLR-2, loaded with Federal HST. She lays in wait in the top draw of my night table, I hope paper is the only thing I will ever use it on.
