Wichita has two shows each year, this one and another in March. I went last March and things were flying out there like mad. Two big ammo dealers were nearly sold out by the afternoon of the first day. Today was totally different. AR's all over, some tables begging people to make offers. The...

I posted this earlier as part of another persons post. Need some help putting together some loads for 38 special and 357 using Titegroup. I have lead 158 grain SWC bullets, Berry's 158 grain RN, Remington 158 JHP Having trouble interpreting data on these bullets and Titegroup combo. Here is...

I load mostly small pistol and small rifle. So to make this easier I have two autoprimers, one for small pistol primers and one for small rifle so I don't have to keep taking them out when I change between rifle and pistol. Anyway, I wondered how I could tell the difference between a small...

I normally full length size my brass with Hornady dies. I shoot both a mini 14 and a Winchester bolt. I saved my brass from my bolt and wanted to try neck sizing only. I sized about 75 rounds, used varget powder and went to seating winchester 55 gran bullets. They fit very loose, in fact I could...

Has anyone used the Wolf primers? I have access to some small rifle for $30/K and just wonder if they are good?

This is my first attempt at 9mm reloading and using Titegroup. I have loaded 38/357 in the past. And yes I did buy manuals and have read them. The Lyman book lists Titegroup for 115 grain FMJ at 4.0 grains to start with a max of 4.5. The Hodgen book lists Titegroup at 4.8 for a max load. I...

I love to build my own anything - house, car, golf clubs, etc. I have seen several people build their own AR's and wonder if it is worth it in the end. I do not have an AR right now and am considering building my own with some different parts. Good or bad experiences you have had? What are the...

I picked up a few hundred at a gun show and have not loaded them yet. I have some 9mm 115 grains. I would be looking at some 9's, 40's, 38's and .224. They sell direct and have decent prices. Anyone else use them and what can you tell me about them and their performance? Thanks

It has been many years since I was a member of NRA but I intend to join once again. Can someone give me an overview of the magazines. I am more into just the guns themselves, not so much the hunting part - something to do with age I suppose. Thanks

I took my wife to look at some semi auto 22's a couple weeks ago because I knew she really needed one. She liked a couple but wasn't all that excited about them. Yesterday we "happened" to be driving by my favorite gun shop on the way to a graduation and she saw what she wanted. She got the...

I have searched high and low for data on a couple of bullets I have - to no avail. I have some books ordered in addition to what I already have but like everything else they are "backordered." I have searched the net with no luck either. The Winchester site gives me nothing that I find anyway...

I was given several hundred rounds of "PAC" head stamped brass. Cleaned it, sized it, cleaned it again and cannot get Federal primers to go in straight. Tried several different ones and always the same result. Is this stuff junk? There was some other brass with it and it primed fine. I do have...

Looking to buy a digital scale. I just want it for double checking my current RCBS magnetic for accuracy and will not measure every load. While it would be nice to spend a couple hundred I would like to get by for less. For you seasoned veterans which is the best scale in the following...

I was contacted about buying a used Ruger P-85, 9mm. I can't say that I have ever even had one in my hands or know much about them, much less shot one. What can you tell me? What kind of value do they have?

I have an older Hornady, third edition, 1980 and loved the book. It is a bit out of date with the new powders though. Who makes the most comprehensive reloading data handbook now? With the scarce bullets it is a bit more difficult to keep things consistent. The internet is OK but nothing beats...

I am getting conflicting information on 223 dies for reloading. I have brass shot from a bolt. Can I just neck size these if they are going back in the same chamber? Is the neck sizing a separate die? Other rounds will go in a mini 14. Do they need to be sized with a SB die? So my...

Just now getting back into reloading and wan to reload some 223. In the past I reloaded 06 and 357 which was pretty straight forward. After 27 years I see a couple of things have changed and there are many more options than in the past. I wanted to buy a few thousand bullets of the same kind...

I am getting into reloading after not doing any for nearly 30 years. How is that for time between loading bullets? And yes, I looked at the prices on my old stuff and things have really gone up. Anyway, loaded 38/357, 30-06 and now want to load 9MM and eventually 223. I have read about the...
