I have done this a bunch with hammer and steel punch. Most of them actually look pretty good. I generally don’t use brass as it tends to absorb some of the impact, it seems! A well dressed steel punch with appropriate hammer weight has moved mountains! That said, I think my skill is slipping...

Anybody listen to the latest Hornady podcast? They discuss a loading method like: Pick a load design….bullet, powder, case, primer. Set an oal to a reasonable value. Set a charge weight that will get you the minimum velocity you need. Set your accuracy threshold. Load up 20. Start shooting 20...

What if I quit cleaning and just load them as is? What could possibly happen? Thinking bolt action rifle loads shooting 0.5-1 MOA currently.

I’m playing around with a quasi wildcat….30 Herrett. Sure, I could look at load data, and try to fit it to my gun, but the real problem is so many powders are hard to find. So, I picked up some 1680 and No 11fs based on what I see in Quickload. I’m pretty sure No11fs is the place to start...

I’m a little frustrated with SAAMI and the way cartridges are frozen in time. In some ways, I would like to see more of a revision strategy. For example…270 WSMr2 …..running an 8 or 9 twist and with freebore cut for copper bullets seated to 3.0”OAL .or 6.5x55r2 loaded to 65000psi. Seems like...

Anybody doing this? My understanding is you: -resize to about 0.1” long for base to shoulder. -Then trim it a bit long with a chop saw or hacksaw. Then final trim in case trimmer.. -then fl size until the action will just close. Recheck oal. After that, I’m unclear if I need to thin the...

Well, I’ve been looking for some decent ear protection to replace my Pro Ear Pro Mags. They have been in service since 2004. Finally died completely it 2022….18yrs $200….$11 per year with about monthly use. So, what is gunshot noise…LINK I think 3m describes this well. It is 150-170db of sound...

I have a S&w 340 revolver that would reload much easier with moon clips, imo. If I pay to convert it, what are the negatives? Can clips be loaded and unloaded by hand for small volume shooting?

I’m really just trying to get a list of holster makers to study to determine what holsters to get for my shield plus. Any you liked personally?

Another thread that I didn’t want to hijack triggered this train of thought…. VIDEO https://studentofthegun.com/articles/firearms-training/gaston-glock-invent-negligent-discharge/ This article was written in a very pro-Glock, pro-safetyless pistol POV. I’m ok with that, but it proves my...

Anybody trying these out? How is accuracy, velocity and BC? Personally, I’m thinking about trying the .308 190gr bullets.

I saw another post stating that the magnums can be run in double rifles or bolt actions with equal ease. This made me think of a couple questions. 1) Are case and chamber tolerances tight enough on the belt to hold the case rock solid and aligned to the bore center? Both in length and...

Anybody try changing seating depth to improve accuracy? Any effect?

Charter Arms Pro 32 H&R Does anybody own or really know this revolver Charter Arms 32 h&r? I really want to buy this gun, but they are invisible in gun stores. I’m looking for someone to post with here or pm or maybe even call. It looks like an awesome gun, but is it S&W good? Just a little...

What is the easiest way to trim all my revolver brass to the same length? If it were bottle neck cases, I would use my TRIM IT 2. For straight wall, I don’t have a trimmer. Is the Lee able to length adjust? I have the stuff to set it up in my Lyman prep center. Also, can I trim it after...

Well, I was blasting away yesterday trying to put down a paper plate. Then when cleaning my pistol, I started thinking…wow that trigger pull is kind of light. I measured 3 pulls on my Lyman scale. I want to say 5lb 11oz average for 3 pulls. Does that seem about right? Can you measure yours and...

Just bought this off gunbroker….probably should of let it go, but I’ve been crying since I sold my 640. Would like some kind of kydex iwb, I think. What do you like? Looking for light and easy ccw. What else do I need to know? It is a sub 14oz 357 magnum! That seems like it will kick!

from NPRhttps://www.npr.org/2022/06/23/1106967037/boyfriend-loophole-senate-bipartisan-gun-safety-bill-domestic-abuse I read it, but it still don’t get it. Does this mean if someone abuses their spouse, they can lose their gun rights with a misdemeanor DV conviction, but not if they are a...

Can you tell me the number or post a link?

I have an 11” Apple IPad Pro (2021) 128gb that I access the site with. When I type a long post and click on the Quote button, it inserts into a random location. Does anybody else see this? Am I causing it somehow? No issues on other forums or this forum 6 months ago. I just recreated in this...
