    Will someone explain this to me, please?

    Press release from Cabot Guns. It's full of jargon that leaves me completely befuddled. I think what he's talking about is selling "virtual" guns -- for big bucks.

    Brass sources

    A friend has just bought a 10mm pistol, so he's gearing up to add 10mm to his reloading repertoire. I was going to buy some 10mm brass to give him for Christmas, but Starline is out of stock, and not accepting back orders. Can anyone suggest a source for 10mm brass that is currently available?

    Chronograph numbers

    Chronographs are wonderful toys tools. They record and spit back all sorts of numbers with esoteric names like "Extreme Spread" and "Standard Deviation." Many of us like to use such numbers to assess the quality of our handloads. What's a realistic number of shots in a string to have the...

Is that the UV component of light, or all light? More to the point -- a friend and I are experimenting with loading .22LR (as I have mentioned in...

    Reviving a couple of discussions from earlier this year, and last year, about reloading .22 rimfire. I was interested in making dummy rounds, and TruthTellers was looking to make actual ammunition -- but TT was going to use black powder. Now that I have gotten beyond the dummy rounds, casual...
