    When do you change cleaning medium?

    Have been using ground corncob media with the addition of cleaning solution (forgot the name) for over 2000 rounds. It is still doing great. How does one decide when to throw it out and put in new?

    Slide mount of optic problem

    I got a plate from EGW for my CZ 97B to mount a red dot, something I have done with my 9mm without difficulty. This plate seemed pretty tight, but it finally went in the dovetail after much hammering on my brass punch, and seemed very tight. That was Friday. it was in the house the whole time...

    Hammer, sears and such for SAR 45??

    I see one outfit that sells springs and grips for SAR 45's, but nobody that has parts that might be used to customize a K2-45 for fine touch target shooting. That said, I know NOTHING about gunsmithing, so go easy on me if this is a stupid question.

    CCI primer misfire issue

    I loaded some 45acp with 200 gr plated Berry's bullets, 4.5 gr of 231, and new to me CCI Large pistol primers. The rounds fired just fine in my CZ 97, and about 40 rds in a new compact SAR K2-45 I just got, but two rounds failed to detonate, showing a small dent in the primer-these were not in...

    Load adjustment for plated vs coated bullets

    I am finding my 200 gr SWC poly coated Missouri Bullet co range bullets a tad smoky, thought I would see about "plated" of the same weight and shape. I read somewhere that plated can cause some problem due to changes in friction. Right now I am using 4.0 gr of W231 in 45acp, and getting...

    FP vs SWC

    Being a bullseye shooter, I naturally gravitate toward SWC 200gr or 185 in 45acp. As there is by no means an abundant supply of SWC in stock, I am tempted to buy some FP in 200gr. Will this cause any problem in loading other than the overall length? I like the SWC because of its shoulder...

    Case length on 45acp

    Just been back in shooting after many years. I load with a Dillon 550. The subject of case length on my 45's never came up years ago, and I don't see that topic today. Is there a real need to trim cases?, as long as it goes in the case gage, doesn't that take care of any concerns?

    All metal 45acp target guns

    I have a few, Sig 220 and CZ97, but as a gun nut (certifiable) would be interested in collecting different makes especially all metal heavy target style 45s. I got rid of my HK expert, which was close but no cigar. I only shoot targets, and don't see any other shooting in my future.
