Got a case of some Rainier 200 grain copper plated flatpoints for 40SW or 10mm. Loaded a case or so of some hotter 10mm loads but want to make some nice steel plates 15 yard loads with the 200s for my Glock with a 4" barrel in 40SW. I plan to lightly crimp with a Lee FCD and keep the pressure...

I've loaded a couple batches of .223 Rem by lubing, resizing and decapping my brass on a Lyman Spar-T turret press with prepared brass. Once the batch is completed, I've used my Dillon 550B to charge, seat, and Lee factory crimp the rounds. They have cannelures - IMI 55 grain FMJBTs. Just a...

Can anyone tell me how to get the cutter off of the shaft for my new RCBS Manual Trim Pro Cutter. I followed the directions and held the shaft and turned the cutter counter-clockwise but it wouldn't budge. WD40 on the thread area didn't help. Even padded vise grips couldn't get the cutter...

Looking for a nice affordable fast target sight for my Olympic Arms PCR-9 AR-15 for shots within 25 yards mainly. Can get a great deal on an OKO red dot sight with carry forward handle for about $220 shipped. The co-witnessing would be nice to. I also run across some used ACOGs for about $400...

Has anybody installed their own sling mounts on their 10/22? What does that entail? Carefully using an electric drill to drill the pilot holes and screwing in the sling/swivel mounts? My local gunsmiths all have a two to three week wait for what I suspect is a 15 minute job. Do it myself or...

Started loading some 223 rem on my Dillon 550 with some military surplus powder, AA2200, and noticed some light powder spillage on the shellplate. Made sure verything was right. Called Dillon and they stated that some extra fine powders may spill out of their setup. Say it in the manual as...

Seems like the consensus is that the Remington 700 is the most accurate bolt action production rifle. Thinking 30-06 caliber. I plan to spend 90 percent of the time at the range target shooting at 100-300 yards. Then the remaining 10 percent of the time going for deer, hog, and elk. Shop has...

Lee Dies in Dillon 550 w/o Lock Nuts - How? As some of you know, i just picked up a second Dillon press. An older Dillon 550 for 45 ACP and 44 mag. Well I had cleaned it all up, lubed it, and was just tinkering with my die settings and noticed that my Lee factory crimp die (FCD) can't sit in...

Just bought a case of Montana Gold 357 SIG 125 grain JFPs and a couple pounds of AA9. Anyone have some good recipes for their Glock or Sig in 357 SIG that is accurate and reliable?

Shot a couple hundred rounds of .357 SIG with some 125 grain Speer Gold Dots and some 124 grain Rainier copper plated bullets and 8.3 grains of Longshot. The recoil from LS was moderate in my Glock 32 and G20 with a 357SIG barrel. Was getting some 2-3 inch groups at 25 yards offhand with the...

I've been to Midway and Dillon and it seems as if no one makes a quik - check or all dimensions drop in case gauge for 357 sig. I see that some bottlenecked rounds like .223 and 30-06 have gauges. Tired of breaking down my Glock 32 to get the barrel out to use it for gauge. Are they out there?

Do you reload your 357 sig rounds on a progressive or single stage? I tried on my Dillon 550 but kept crushing cases or getting cases that wouldn't easily drop into my barrel's chamber. So I loaded them on my Lyman turret press - can only get 100 an hour but didn't lose one and they are more...

Just made a batch of 115 grain Montana Gold JHPs with 9.1 grains of Hodgdon's Longshot powder to do about 1360 fps. The MG 115 grain JHPs measure .355 all of the way up the bearing surface - I measured with my calipers. Longshot is about a slow as AA#9 but only needs 9.0 to 10.0 grains to...

Local dealer has a Marlin 1895GS in stainless steel. Looks almost new. Asking $500. Good price? Is stainless worth it? I intend this to be my only hunting rifle and will plink with it too. Advise?

Well, I got to spend a couple hours at WSI in Bellevue WA with my new Glock 32. And boy is that 357 SIG is fun round to shoot. Feels like shooting 9mm +P+ or 40SW. A Cailfornia tanned hottie and a couple of male friends peeped over my shoulder as I let the Glock 32 rip off a couple of mags...

Can you use the Montana Gold 115 JHPs for 357 sig? They also make some 125 grain FMJ specifically for the 357 sig round. But I've also got a couple thousand 115 grain JHP bullets by Montana Gold waiting to be loaded. Shoot a good amount of 9mm in my Glock 34, Glock 26 and my Kel Tec Sub-9...

Was at Lowe's hardware store and a nice shop flourescent light fixture caught my eye. Bought it for $7 on sale. Bought a pair of tubes for $4. and for another $4, bought some thin lighting chain to hang it. Grabbed a couple of lighting hooks for $.50. And dropped that shop light about 4 feet...

I'm looking for a 44 mag carbine primarily for target shooting at 80-120 yards. BUT I will be taking it out for deer hunting, hog hunting, and perhaps elk hunting here in Wahsington State. I shoot a lot of 44 mag in a Ruger Redhawk so this would be for longer shots outside the revolver's...

We've talked about the Marlin 1894. Was just at Wade's Guns in Bellevue WA and several shooters appeared to favor the 1894P ported in the 16.5 inch carbine. More pleasurable shooting and they alleged that you really don't lose much velocity with the shorter barrel and the porting. I was...

Love shooting my SW 610 and SW 625 due to the fast relaoding with the moon clips. And it makes brass bagging even faster since you can pu the moon clips in the bag and demoon them right into the bag. Just got a trigger job done on my Redhawk and it rivals my Smiths' triggers. I'd like to...
