I just wanted to know if the spacers for calibers that share the same die, are they worth buying? Thanks.

I don't reload 9mm, but I do know people that do. My question is, why would anyone buy 9mm brass when all the ranges have it scattered across the floor in large quantities? I have several hundred cases from picking out the stuff I want. The few people I know that reload 9mm have buckets full...

I was at a local reloading shop and was looking at some RCBS dies. I asked one of the people that work there and they said that only "budget" dies like Lee include a shell holder. I was almost shocked that Lee is the only one. I started to think, well, if other companies can get people to...

I am buying a Springfield Garrison 9mm pistol and apparently Springfield is a bunch of cheapskates and only include ONE magazine. So I need to buy some spares. I was wondering if anyone has any input on which magazines to use with these pistols. I have had great luck with Mec Gar magazines...

With the advent of the PSA Dagger and Buffalo Cartridge Works BRG9, why spend $500 - $650 on a more expensive gun. I've shot enough polymer framed striker fired guns in my time to know that the differences between all the brands aren't that much. I saw that an FN 509 is $625, a Glock 17 is...

Hello all. I am looking for some advice on reloading 357 Magnum using Winchester 244. I was using Hi-Skor 800-X I used 7.0 grains of powder when reloading both 10mm Auto and 357 Magnum. This formula made perfect sense as 10mm and 357 are very similar rounds as far as performance. I used up...

Hello all. I have a Ruger GP100 Match Champion in 10mm. I ran out of my Hi-Skor 800-X and will be using Winchester 244. Here are the specs. 10mm Auto 175gr or 180gr LSWC or LRN bullet Winchester LPP I have looked at Hodgdon website and they have no data for the type of bullets I have...

Hello. I am working up a load for my .44 Magnum. I have CCI 300 or Winchester Large Pistol Primers. FYI, I am using Winchester 244 with a 240gr LSWC. Was planning on making a few test loads with 10 grains of powder. The loads I am making are for plinking at the range. The Winchester...

I have a bunch of corn cob media that is dirty. I know that it stops doing what it is supposed to do when the brass comes out with a dull finish. I put new corn cob media in the tumbler and the brass comes out looking REALLY good. My question is can you make the old media work like new media...

Got a good deal on some 244 powder. There is a formula for .44Magnum just wanted anyone else's thoughts on it.

Hello all. I bought some Tula .357 Magnum about 6 years ago. I am hesitant to shoot it as the spent cases get stuck in the cylinder. I am now reloading and .38 Special / .357 Magnum are calibers I reload. I did a test and was able to pull the bullet and powder with my kinetic bullet puller...

Hello all, I found a 3/4 bottle of Colonel Brassy in my collection of stuff and wondered if it was good to go in a brass tumbler with corn cob media? The kit I bought came with Dillon Rapid Polish 290, but that stiff is like $15 for an 8oz bottle. Thanks.

Hello all. I am getting into the reloading game for my "boutique" calibers. I am going to reload .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum, and 10mm Auto. I bought the Lee 4 die set for the 40S&W/10mm as the cartridge headspaces of the mouth while .44 Mag and .357 Mag headspace off the rim. For my .44 and...

I recently purchased a G19X. I had some old G22 mags and I know that the G19X, G17, and G22 use essentially the same frame. Read online that many have had success. I went to the range and loaded up the G22 mag with some 9mm. It worked, tried a few more mags and all worked as expected. I...

Hello all. I need to get me some new slotted tips (22 and 30 caliber), but cannot decide on brass or plastic. I've generally used plastic but have seen brass ones. Is there an advantage to brass over plastic slotted tips? I know that some will tray and convince me that I'm ruining my barrel...

Hello all. I recently purchased a Ruger AR 556 and took it out shooting. I ran ~150 rounds through the rifle which consisted of Wolf and Brown Bear. I wanted to see if the rifle could reliably run cheap dirty steel case ammo(both polymer and lacquer coated). The rifle shot all the ammo...

A while back I had purchased some Tula .357 Magnum ammo. The ammo loads and shoots fine. When I shoot it in my Ruger or Taurus revolvers, the spent cases get almost stuck in the cylinder. I have to use a rubber mallet on the ejector rod to get the cases to eject. Now, I never plan on buying...

I bought two 10 round MecGar for the SP2022. The only thing stopping the follower from going all the way down is that dimple. I was wondering if anyone has converted the 10 round SP2022 MecGar mag to a 15 rounder? Would it be as simple as drilling out the dimple? Thanks.

I recently got a P220ST and would like to remove the magazine disconnect. it is NOT part of the locking block like the P226 California ones. I have Googled and pretty much nothing. Thanks.

Cracks me up, I keep seeing on Armslist people selling $25 boxes of 9mm and $800 Glock 19s. Are people actually buying guns and ammo at these ridiculous prices?
