Our local club offers 3-gun but I'd like to get some inside hints from those that attend on a regular basis. I'm mainly used to pistol-only matches so this is foreign to me. I have my usual pistols, a not-so-tactical AR, CX4 and Mossberg 500.

I brought my ProChrono today and a friend had his SP-01 and some Wolf/Tula. I was surprised to find it clocked at 1190fps. Is that normal or a result of the slightly longer barrel?

Someone cleaned out every pistol powder from our local stores and all that was left is an 8# jug of 7625. Unfortunately my Lee Perfect Powder Measure doesn't like the fine grains and 'pees' them out the side of the rotor. I've tried various tensions and smearing graphite on the rotor to little...

I spend too much time thinking about 'what if'. Say there's a rifle barrel at 20". There's a loud report due to gas expansion at the muzzle. Traditionally suppressors have been used to drop the decibels down a bit. But what would happen if a slightly larger diameter extension was screwed...

Just an update. These are LRN reloads and not one factory round through it. No chokes, misfeeds or anything of note. It gets cleaned after a couple hundred rounds and frankly I don't see much residue except at the feed ramp and what I call the 'trash can', a circular cutout on the top of the...

I've only been reloading for a few years. But as of late I've come across some really oddball stuff showing up, like Herters, Ammoland, Aguila etc. I suspect standard Winchester, Federal and CCI are in short supply so this stuff is showing up. They are not resize friendly, that's for sure...

Something unusual happened to my 97's barrel. I was given the option to just send in the slide and I got it back a week later in time for our monthly match.

I'm not sure what I have here. Scored 50# of rubber coated weights and melted a couple down. This isn't pure lead, and the ingots ring like wheel weights when dropped on the ground. They are even 'frosty' like WW. The pure lead from window counterweights are shiny and have a slight rainbow...

I've reloaded thousands of 9mm, but first time I've seen a 'sleeve' inside a case. I noticed the powder level was higher and checked it on my scale, which was normal. Then I noticed this... Case stamp is Ammoload 9mm. It's not +p or anything.

So. Why do some jars of powder weigh 14oz and not a pound?

I found an 18rd MecGar mag at the gun show today. Surprisingly it's the same length as the standard 15rd mags. Does the 'pinch' at the bottom of the 15 rounders cause the three round restriction?

Three times in as many years I've had to drain all lead and brush rust out of the spout which has caused excessive dripping. This time it was so thick it formed a ring inside that needed a Dremel and cutter tool. So what would cause this?

I have friends with some acreage. We shoot off their deck into a depression into the hillside at steel plates and various targets. Scrounging up my brass I found one of my fired 45 LRN perfectly intact...right in front of the 'firing line'. No indications it ricocheted off anything. It...

I shoot once a month at a local match. We generally don't allow 'race' guns and electronic sights are disallowed. We do follow the major/minor scoring system but we aren't chronographed to determine power factor. If I want to use 230 gr 45's at 650fps, no problem. Some guys have long...

Absurdly rare 25acp made in the late 50's, patterned off the Colt 1908. My friend brought it to the range and tried shooting S&B through it but it simply won't eject the fired case. Not only that but the firing pin dent is way off center. I looked at the FP and its not bent. Any ideas?

Finally. I've been looking at these for ten years and after the HiPoint debacle, decided it was time for a Beretta. It was on 'sale' and uses the 15rd 92 mags. I haven't fired it yet so I'm just sitting here taking it apart and thought I would give first impressions. It's light. I was...

Color me skeptical, but anyone know why this normally $780 model is suddenly $649 at some 'stores'? Are they trying to reduce inventory or something? It does have the top rail so can't be that.

Found a 32 ACP case at the range, had a little fun with it. Feel free to name my new cartridge. I'm thinking 7.62 USP (Ultra Slow Pistol).

Melted down some pewter pieces today. Now I can add some tin for my pure lead.

My Girlfriend's 25yo daughter recently decided she needs to get her CC permit and asked to try out my (limited) collection. She liked my Kahr K9 the best and made it very clear to me "no pink guns because I don't want the BG to think its a toy".:p She wants something that is a compact size but...
