    Changing load data for new primer and bullet .45 acp

    Hi all, quick question. Rmr was out of 45 acp bullets so I ordered Zero's 230gr fmj. I ran out of cci and remington lpp and I'm starting to load with win lpp. My current loads are 5gr bullseye or 5.5gr hp38 at 1.260-1.265. Should I back my charge weights down a bit because of component changes...

    Better 45acp 230gr JHP bullets

    Sig P210 target accurate handloads

    Hi all, Just acquired an American made sig p210 target pistol. I'm stoked on the new piece and I'm already thinking about handloading match grade ammo for it (haven't even fired it yet lol) Does anyone out there load for this pistol?

    Hot 9mm load causes malfunction? Mechanical issue?

    I'm posting in reloading (EDIT: Just moved to gunsmithing and repairs--seems more appropriate now) because it seemed the logical place. Mods, please move if a better forum fits. I carry a Sig P938 exclusively. Great shooter, very controllable, very accurate. I recently switched from RMR...

Hardball, hollow points, personal defense, blazer brass, whatever. I tried reloading some and the XDs seems...
