I am not new to reloading (15 years) but today I tried my first 380's. Not fun. I had just finished a run of 200 9MM in Winchester brass with Hornady 115 gr XTP HP. No problems. Set the Dillon 550B up for the 380's using Lee dies. Out of a run of 50 RP cases, I crushed 15+ cases. Some on the...

I've a real hankering for another 45 Long Colt. I've reloaded several hundred rounds (really enjoy reloading). But, checked the safe and only have one 45 L/C, a fine Pietta S/A with an extra 45 acp cylinder. I know about the Rugers. But what other manufacturer has a decent 45 L/C? I think I...

Bought a box of 500 Speer 38's. I did not open the pack of 500, just relied on the factory box photo. When I opened the package the bullets had no lube in the lube grooves! I checked the Speer web site and no real answer. They are Speer 38/158 SWC HP #4628. The box says "swaged", "perfect for...

Watched the video of the med student shot in New Orleans. What a lucky guy. The shooters gun jammed when he tried his second and third shot to the victim's head. Just wondering what type of gun was used. It looked like a 22 cal copy of something. Bolt looked to be on the left side.

I did a "pour" of 300 .45 acp's last evening. I was using wheel weights that I had melted my self from a known source. I also added Linotype that I bought on Fbay. I was using a new mold 6 holer from Lee. I did have some trouble getting it "smoked" in. I cast a few dozen to get the mold hot and...

My "bride" is from the UK and keeps up with the local news post. She brought this to my attention: Shotguns have 'virtually sold out' in Austria as citizens rush to buy arms amid fears of a massive influx of migrants, dealers claim. There are now thought to be estimated 900,000 firearms in...

Hello Forum. I have been somewhat active in firearms for about 20 years. But I have questions on "STRIKER FIRED" weapons. How do they work? I look at cut-away drawings and disassembly instructions but the subject of actual mechanics is never dealt with in any detail. I only own one striker fired...

Fairly new to this board. Questions on the AMT DAO .45 ACP. I had new one once, bought AGAINST the advice of my trusted FFL. Sure enough it was a jam-O-matic. It shot really hard. Of course it was small. Bought a used one later on; still shot hard but was reliable. Sold it in a bit of domestic...

Caught a You-Tube item on Glocks last night. It mentioned that many carbines used Glock magazines. Of this I was not aware. Any insight on which "Carbines" can use a Glock magazine? I am clueless. Thanks, PFB.

I have cast several hundred Lee tumble lube pistol bullets. I use Lee Alox for lube. But I have several non-tumble molds that I would like to use. What does the board use for lubrication? I find very little in my manuals, magazines or other sources. I have explored a little research on powder...

Dilemma: Bought a Walther and Sig Sauer 22 cal before the great dearth of 22 caliber fell upon us. High Powered 22 was readily available; now not so much (none in my area). What have other posters done with finicky 22's that need Stinger type ammo? Can the recoil springs be changed to a lighter...

What has the Forum's members found in the way of powders that REALLY fill up pistol brass? I have experienced one double charge using my Dillon 550B. It was my fault, lack of attention from an interruption. I usually use W231, that was the double charger. But I have used Bullseye, Unique and...
