    9mm into 380

    Here goes what may be a stupid question but I gotta ask. I have an over abundance of 9mm brass but no 380 brass. And I can't find 380 brass or ammo. Can I turn my 9mm brass into 380 brass? I've looked at the measurements and they are close. I can trim them to 380 length. Thanks.

    Show me the 380!

    I finally went to purchase a keltec p3at .380. I finally understand the "3at" part, sounds like 380 when you say it. Anyway now I cant find ammo. Looked all around town to no avail. Thought surely Midway or Brownells or Cheaper than dirt. Nope. Thought fine I'll order dies and componenents. No...

    Sending the Savage to the Factory.

    I bought a Savage Mark II Mako in .22lr a while back. Starting on the 3rd round it starts shaving lead off of the bottom. And it won't even chamber the last round. I called Savage and they want me to send it in. I hate to because I shoot it all the time but it would be nice if it worked...

    blackhawk vs redhawk

    I'm looking into a .44 mag. I want a Ruger because of their rep as being built like a tank. Besides the SA vs DA whats the difference in the blackhawk and redhawk? Is one weaker than the other? Any pros or cons for either? Thanks

    Questions about case trimmers and neck turners

    I currently use lee case trimmers and they do fine as far as I'm concerned. But I'm wanting to turn some necks. Preferably inside and out. If I buy a normal case trimmer can I do it on that? Or should I stick with the lee's and buy a rcbs or similar neck turner? The more info the better.

    bullet casting

    I'm thinking about getting into casting my own bullets. What all do I need to start out? I'm thinking a melting pot, bullet mold, and sizing die. Anything else? I have mainly Lee reloading equip so was going to go with Lee casting stuff. There sizing die looks like its a pretty slick set up...

    2 weeks off from work, lots of reloading

    My place of employment is shutting down for two weeks during christmas. So I've decided that it would be a good time to catch up on my reloading. I ordered 1k .45 brass and 1k .45 lead bullets. I already had bought the primers and powder. And I've got around 1k .223's to load up with components...

    Lee precision customer service

    I broke my .223 decapping pin night before last on my lee dies. My fault completely. I seen where lee printed it would replace it free of charge for two years if I sent the die in. But I called them to see if I could pay for one because I didn't want to wait, they sent if for free, shipping and...

    Taurus or RIA 1911

    I'm going to the toy store next week to procure a Keltec p3at .380 and a 1911. I'd like to keep the 1911 under $550 if possible. They have great prices and are willing to haggle so 550 goes a quite aways. If you had to choose between the Taurus and RIA which would you go for and why? Any other...
