I don't know just when it happened, but I recently awoke to the realization that Berry's no longer sells cast lead bullets. They now sell (for handguns) only their plated lead bullets. What are some other sources for decent quality, affordable lead bullets for handguns?

https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/opinion-files/opinion/2020/kp-0296.pdf The NSSF reports that, in the wake of some sheriffs and local authorities having told gun shops they had to close, the Texas Attorney General has issued an opinion confirming that statutes do not...

The new e-mail blast from the NSSF reports a question that was posed to the BATFE, and their answer: https://www.nssf.org/faq/atf-qa-firearms-transactions-17/?utm_source=bulletpoints&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=atfqa

I am looking for suggestions regarding how to keep track of my reloading recipes. For a good many years I only loaded .45 ACP (230-grain) and 9mm (115 grain). That was easy to keep track of. I'm now branching out into different loads within those two "calibers," as well as other handgun...

What's good? I tried one from Amazon, and it's going back today. Aside from feeling cheap and insubstantial, I can't make it retain configuration settings. Having to reset the beep delay from instant to random every time I turn the thing on is a non-starter. I don't recommend buying this one...

I have two Dell Inspiron computers at home. The first, which is my primary desktop computer, was bought when Windows 7 was in its prime, and that's what came installed on the computer. And the case has a Windows 7 sticker with the product key code. The second is a smaller size case (but not a...

Does anyone make a .22 rimfire AR-15 upper (not complete rifles) with an integral A2-style carry handle? Preferably a 16" carbine length, but if 20" is all that's available, so be it.

Has anyone had any practical experience with them? Are there any that are worth trying? I'm primarily interested in Android, but I still have my late wife's iPhone 4 if there's an exceptional shot timer for the iPhone that's not concurrently available for Android. I'm looking for timer apps...

Looking at having something in 7.62x39 "just because" -- would you prefer a Ruger Mini Thirty or an SKS? Why? P.S. -- I'm in a state that's limited to 10-round magazines.

For those who may not recognize the acronym, "NSSF" is the National Shooting Sports Foundation -- the folks who bring us the SHOT Show every January. As a media member of the NSSF, I receive their periodic e-mail blasts, and the one that arrived today was a doozie. Unfortunately, I can't find...

Has anyone ever heard of it? I've heard of 6mm Flobert (it's basically a .22 BB cap), but I was looking at the web page of a Czech company that makes revolvers and I came across reference to 4mm Flobert. I wondered if anyone has ever encountered it...

As some of you are aware, Para-Ordnance (or ParaUSA) no longer exists. For people who own Para-Ordnance or ParaUSA double stack pistols, there is a growing problem with more and more states enacting 10-round magazine capacity limits. We can still purchase new-old-stock or aftermarket "normal"...

But .380 is too "wimpy" and doesn't offer adequate penetration. Federal has you covered. According to a recent press release, there's a New Hydra-Shok Deep in .380 ACP that exceeds the FBI minimum penetration distance in both bare ballistics gelatin and through denim. If the inability of .380...

A couple of days ago I stumbled across the first episode of Have Gun Will Travel on Youtube. In this episode, Paladin describes his gun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwvVjjhck8o Fast forward to about 06:15. Paladin says the trigger responds to a pressure of one ounce. And he says that...

I'm past the question I raised in Round 1: https://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=604832 Unclenick was kind enough to crunch my reloads through Quickload, and he verified that my 4.3-grain load is not unsafe for pressure using wither the Berry's plated bullets or actual Golden saber...

Who makes 'em? I know Armscor/Rock Island offers a polymer one, but they only offer it with a light rail. I believe theirs is a rebadged EAA pistol. Several years ago, I came across references (which, of course, I can't recall) to a very near clone but I don't remember the maker or the model...

Is anyone here from Massachusetts? I was perusing the Berry's Bullets web site a few minutes ago and I noticed that their .45 ACP handgun bullets all carry the note " **UNABLE TO SHIP THE PRODUCT TO THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS** " What's the scoop? Is it illegal to reload in Massachusetts, or...

I have always carried some variant of a 1911 in .45 ACP, and I've loaded thousands of rounds of .45 ACP. I have also loaded some 9mm,but more in the high hundreds of very low thousands, and that was all 115-grain round nose. Fast forward to today, and I'm looking at an Officers-size 1911 in...
