If you've been here at TFL and active in this part of the forum, we had a guy that posted somewhat regularly by the name of "clark" and he was a handloader and experimenter. What he seemed to do most often was to take old beater guns... and handload rounds for them that, when you first saw what...

Has this new pistol, new design been discussed anywhere on TFL Forums? "The search is your friend" they will say. :rolleyes: And some folks are far more skilled at the search than I am. When the model name is as succinct as 5.0 and only expanded with RIA, the search engine either gives you...

I’ve owned Colt, Sig, Springfield, STI, Remington, S&W and AMT in 1911’s. I also have high round count hands-on familiarity with Les Baer and Ruger as well. I still have my Springfield Custom but I found my true love for this specific area and it’s a S&W Performance Center 945. This isn’t a...

About a decade ago I bought a Chrony Beta Master even though I didn't "need" one. 95% or more of what I do is all handgun loading and I also don't need to make any particular power factor or velocity minimum. I bought the chronograph because I thought it would be interesting to see some...

…specifically .223 Rem brass. I’ve recently come in to quite a bit of this, Winchester head stamp nickel plated .223. Now like most of us, I’ve got many years of experience with nickel plated pistol and revolver brass but I have a full pure zero experience with nickel plated bottle-neck rifle...

Hi folks, I'm still paying attention here when I can even though I've been fairly quiet for a long stretch. As a background and in the interest of full disclosure, keep in mind that I am a hardcore, hobbyist handloader that has been knee-deep in this game for more than three decades however...

Forum says he hasn’t been here in 3+ years, he used to be quite an active poster. Does anyone know him? Pretty sure I’m seeing one of his trademark guns on Gunbroker right now.

Hello folks. I'm a long time TFL guy and quite active in the handloading and reloading area, rolling my own for three decades. There are many places on the 'net where I can read & learn, but TFL is where I've called home for like 10+ years. I'd like to list all my questions in enumerated form...

If you run some searches on TFL's fantastic search engine you will find that I've written dozens of posts on Coonan .357 discussion threads, I even started a thread specific to handloading for this pistol. I've been a genuine Coonan .357 fan since October 2011 when my buddy finally took delivery...

For Sale are factory new and sealed 100-count boxes of new production rifle bullets. These are not blems, not factory seconds, not over-runs, not stolen. These are exactly from the retail shelf! Sorry that I couldn't format the columns... qty...

Unfortunately... I think it's difficult to have threads like these because they breed arguments, but the optimist in me hopes that we can make it a page or three before we choke the life out of ourselves. Seems to me that some absolutely iconic handguns can just be overrated, given piles of...

I started pecking out a post in the other thread regarding oddball Hornady .308 brass that was showing an pending doom case head separation but then I figured maybe I'd just open a second discussion. I'm long-winded. As I've mentioned numerous times, I'm a decades long enthusiast handloader but...

Folks, long time TFL junkie needs all your help, experience, thoughts, ideas, concerns, success stories and failures. If you have hunted with .204 Ruger or one of your good buddies does, I'd love to learn from you. Me? Handgun guy. I merely dabble in rifles. I'm no rifleman and I'm not a...

Did anyone watch the Sunday night fireworks for the Singer 1911 in Gunbroker? Auction opened two weeks ago (I think?) with no reserve, but $40,000 opening bid. Ended last night at $85,025. It wasn't a top condition Singer, but it still attracted a little bidding war. I have heard that one sold...

I am gonna sound like a cranky old man, I won't deny that, only defend myself by saying that I am mid-40's of age with almost 30 years in buying, owning, shooting and thoroughly loving handguns. I totally agree that some things about gun manufacture today are fantastic and inspiring--...

I'm curious about what might be the expected outcome of this combination. Yes I have both to try it myself but I haven't, so I'm curious if anyone has... or perhaps nearly as interesting is to simply discuss the pertinent angles of what might happen. The load is a 148 grain swaged lead HBWC...

Hey guys, wondering if you can share advice or tips with a range finder. Situation is that I'm currently using a Weaver (I can dig it out and get specs later) but bottom line is that it is probably around $179 MSRP or so. It works extremely well WHEN you are good and steady and when you can...

Sure, it's not like we never laugh at the silly and inflated Colt Python market. And for fans of the snake gun, this NOT Python "hate", honestly, the revolvers are truly historic, iconic and likely many other forms of "ic" but the market is ripe for discussion. This absolutely does not have to...

I have an absolute blast digging through listings and dreaming and occasionally bidding and even more rarely winning, and I have had fantastic purchases on Gunbroker and I could list more things about Gunbroker that I really love... but... Holy crap, there are no proper words in the language...

I've never tried these and I know some of you guys are using them. My first attempt will be with a 9mm slug, 122gr round nose, and my supplier says: I'm curious with the experiences of folks who have shot similarly coated pistol and/or revolver bullets, please share anything relevant. What I...
