      2023 NRA Convention

      The bag comments above reminded me of something I witnessed. I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. A few years ago I was at a Walgreens. A lady that just bought two cloth shopping bags paid and had the cashier place them in a plastic bag. A couple weeks later at a different...

      I cannot believe the media would not give you 100% honest reporting.

      Seeking 45 ACP Powder Recommendations

      I have used Longshot for some long-range shotgun rounds with 1 1/4 oz of #6 shot going about 1385 fps. Never tried it for pistol cartridges. It looks like it's a little slower than AA#5 and WSF that I use and a little faster than the magnum powders. There might be some applications I could use...

      Beginner rifles

      I think a decent pellet rifle would be good. You can do that at your house without needing to goo to a range. Outside you can set up some thin steel targets at various distances. Inside you just need a box with a carpet remnant secured at the top and hanging free to stop the pellets and a place...

      Ruger GP100 Trigger - How does it compare to Smith & Wesson?

      The front sight swap is a good feature. I have a couple of S&W revolvers that do that too. I wish more models did that.

      2023 NRA Convention

      "An armed society is a polite society." ― Robert A. Heinlein It was fun as always. Over 77,000 in attendance. My buddy and I talk with lots of vendors and get a few knives. Our wives went to see Trump (for the 5th time) and the other speakers. Dinner at St Elmos on Friday for 9 of us. We...

      Seeking 45 ACP Powder Recommendations

      A couple guys mentioned HP38. That is the same as 231 that you use, in case you were not aware. Just like 296 and H110 are the same powder.

      Taurus trouble

      The cylinders I had issues with did not look really rough, but they were not smooth enough to let the brass with hot loads extract easily. I'm sure most cylinders are not polished from the factory, but there may be some tool marks that are not obvious that could cause this issue. Polishing...

      Seeking 45 ACP Powder Recommendations

      For light target loads, I use Clays. I've loaded lots of 38 special and 45 ACP with Clays, as well as 12 gauge shells. I use Clays for other pistol loads, but those are what I load the most of. Clays is pretty clean. EDIT: If you want higher or max velocities, powders that are slower than Clays...

      Taurus trouble

      I've had that happen in a Dan Wesson 44 mag when I shot hot loads for IHMSA silhouette matches. One other revolver had that issue with hot loads too. I took some Scotch Brite pads, wrapped a piece around a worn out brass bore brush and chucked it into a drill. Run that in each cylinder hole...

      Revolver's are still a valid SD tool.

      I use the switch hand method to reload. I will try your method. Looks pretty good. I have two 5" 625s, one for steel w/ fiber optic front sight and one for bullseye with a dot. I also have a couple 627s for steel challenge and ICORE. I prefer revolvers for shooting matches. Another plus; don't...

      Are red dots reliable?

      I have been using red dots on pistols since 1995. I do not have any on my carry guns, but I use them quite often for shooting matches; local, regional, and national. I have had maybe two die throughout the years, either in a match or practice. Most of mine are the tube variety and most do not...

      Waco, Texas

      I remember when this was going on. At the same time there was a prison riot in Ohio, I think it was. They were so happy and proud they resolved the prison riot without bloodshed. That always stuck with me. It's ok to slaughter a bunch of cult members, but glad those rioting prisoners doid not...

      Best .22lr Lever-Action Rifle...???

      Also, the Browning BL22 has the shortest throw of the lever action 22s. When I shoot it, mostly for cowboy action side matches, I don't need to remove my right hand from the stock in order to work the lever. Below are pics to compare. Also, DO NOT fall for the large lever loop on some models. It...

      I found the info below that explains the .90 multiplier. Veral Smith and Col. EH Harrison both did seminal research into the BHN relationship. Both books are out of print to the best of my knowledge. BHN is measured in Kilograms/Sq.Millimeter. The 1422 number is derived from converting...

      That's the formula I have. Edit: taking a closer look, I do not see where the .90 multiplier comes from. Here is the formula I have always seen. Ideal hardness in BHN = Pressure / 1,920 Maximum BHN = Pressure / 1,422 More info here...

      So.. what are you reloading at the moment??

      I finished a bunch of 12 guage loads for skeet and sporting clays. Started loading some 28 gauge shells now. Going to a buddy's house this weekend to help him set up .308 dies. He never loaded rifle cases before. Bringing some tools to uniform primer pockets, deburr flashholes, and determine...

      For 45acp you can cast lead bullets. I rarely use jacketed in my 38s (only in my comped custom revolvers), 45, even 44s. For light loads you do not need hard cast bullets either.

      I think what you need to do is answer some questions to determine if reloading would be a good way to go for you right now. I only say this because components are harder to get than in the past and much more expensive when you find them. I'm not trying to dissuade you, just want you to determine...

      Red dots on handguns are for play (change my mind)

      Here's dimensions for 10-ring on B-29 target. The X-ring is 1 3/16" X 7/8"
