My downloaded load data sheet from last year to this year is a dramatic difference, especially in the cast loads section for 9mm. I was using 7.6 grains of #7 for a 124grain cast bullet load in the Phantom, and 6.4 grains #7 in the P-01. The cast data I had said the low load was actually below...

If you kept a rifle/carbine for emergencies AWAY from home, say backpacking, flying a light plane, at the lake, cabin, etc., what features of the following would you be looking for? Please remember, this is NOT a SHTF or Zombie apocolypse thread, but for what suprises you might encounter out in...

10 yards, standing 50 yards, rested, same load. Taped over is 50 yards standing, factory 115s. sidearm, CZ Sp-01 Phantom 9mm - love shooting this pistol.:cool: Pistol or me? I'm betting it's me...

Wheel weight cast ingots are becoming harder and harder for me to find, and alloying plumbers lead would be a pain, so I took the plunge to look for a lead supplier. I found one, local even. Jami at Seafab Metals in Casa Grande answered the phone pleasantly, and when I said I was looking for...

The 512 is a radically different 22 rifle from CZ-USA and one thing became apparent right from the get go - this is one cool rifle. It shouldered extremely well, and felt good to all three of us here, including Squirt. Dissaembly was VERY unsual, being it is a poly/metal hybrid gun, and the...

Getting closer, I think I am on the right track now... Current 7.62x39mm loads I am using/testing. Test bed. To shamelessly steal a line from a fast food place - I'm lovin' it.

I got my Christmas wish, in spades! This brand new CZ SP-01 Phantom, the new choice of the Czech military and making it's way around the world, is a light, easy balancing full size duty handgun that doesn't feel or act big. Trigger had some minor roughness that worked out quickly, but it's a...

Christmas was gooood. :D SP-01 Phantom. Looking forward to some serious range time with this one!:cool:

I have been using two cast boolits for my 38 Special, a traditional Lee 158 grain LSWC, and the tumble lube 124gr 9mm mould - it drops at .360, so i size them for .358 for the 38, and they work well. The question has zero to do with the boolits, and everything to do with powder. See, I use...

Groups shot at 10 yards, (not real far, I know, but it has been a while, *hangs head in shame*, and I wanted to make sure to HIT the target!), standing, two hand hold, very light breeze. Beautful day. The brass is bumping merrily along in the tumbler behind me. :) Single action only, Smith 10-8...

Warmed up the Lee pot, preheated the Lee two cavity mould on the stove, and started popping out 124grain 9mm boolits, first cast was perfect due to the preheating. Ran the Lee out of metal, and more is melting in it as I type this, with the mould back on the stove to stay warm. Ah, a productive...

Today was it. I woke up fully refreshed, feeling good, knee didn't hurt at all, son was a VERY good boy getting out himself to school, and I had time to play. Best thing was, that very addictive online game that grabs me sometimes was offline...gee darn. LOAD 'EM UP! Out the door I went, to...

I shortened the range to 50 yards, and used a B-27 target - don't laugh, I know it's blue, the store was out of the black ones... I had forgotten to replenish my stock of cast loads from the last trip with the CZ 527M, so to my great chagrin, I had a grand total of 8 rounds. I did bring...

I was very fortunate to aquire a new CZ 527 carbine in 7.62x39mm. I posted a few pics and range pics on other boards, thought I might share some here. Now, I still haven't found the adjustable rear iron sight for it, so it sits with a cheap Simmons 3-9x40 scope on it. I have nothing agaist this...

I was told that my 200 yard group with my vz-58 rifle wasn't good enough, that I had to fold a piece of paper in half, fold up the corners, then attach that at the neckline of the B-27 target. That was my target zone. You see, I was told a rifle round isn't effective anywhere below that zone...

I thought it was 175 yards, but today I paced it out, and it's 275. I just so happened to have a B-27 target, my vz-58, and some ammo. What a happy coincidence. :) I started at roughly 100 yards, 117 paces to be exact. Disregard the 120 yards on the target, that was supposed to be a 0. I got...

Well, I "transferred" monies from Gunpal to my linked and confirmed bank account on January 16th. On the 19th I got an e-mail saying transfer had failed, "Too many characters in company name". Then I got an identical e-mail. I left five, (5), support requests, on a weekday, during normal...

Odd title? Odd experiance. Let me clarify.... Some time ago I decided I wanted a pocket holster for my Taurus 850 CIA Ultralight, since it was proving itself a great BUG. I was told that Robert Mika, http://www.frontiernet.net/~akim/pocket.htm was the one to get a good inexpensive pocket...

Many here are passingly familiar with the Militia Act of 1792, and even more familiar with how the 2A protects the right to keep and bear arms in order to have a well drilled, "regulated", militia, notwithstanding the recent excellent Supreme Court ruling that finally recognizes the right to...

Now there's good news!
