    Does anyone use a Lee Auto-Disk powder measure with their Turret/ Challenger press?

    I’m wondering if it’s accurate, are there a lot of spills? Does it speed up the presses a bit?

    Bullets seated on an angle, how bad?

    I jut made a box of .44mag for the first time…and I noticed that a few bullets didn’t go in straight; they’re kinda sideways a little :eek: :o ( I can tell because of the groove is visible only on one side of the bullet only). Is it OK to shoot it? I have another questions for you...

    What are good .44mag HP/XTP loads with H110 and HS-6 powders?

    I don’t have a scale yet, and will use the dippers that came with my LEE dies for now. These are the loads I can do with my dippers. I'll be using it for target shooting and maybe some bowling pins as well :) 24-25gr of H110 with XTP 180gr (1468pfs ??) 17-18gr of H110 with XTP 240gr (1122fps...

    New revolver --Need care/maintenance tips

    I’m was pretty much a semi-auto guy until I recently got my .44 mag Taurus Raging Bull revolver :). Wow what a beautiful gun. The fit and finish is excellent, SA trigger is awesome (if you think Taurus is junk, than your S&W must be covered in diamonds) By far my favourite revolver… btw I can...

    Dangerous range of handgun ammo

    I found this table that shows dangerous range for ammo that some people might find interesting. :) too bad it doesn't say the brl length or bullet weight. What doesn't make sense to me is; it shows that .40 has the same range as .357mag. Just doesn’t seem right :-/ Does anyone any sources...

    1 lb how many .44mag loads?

    I know it depends on the Powder and how hot is the load, but I’m just wondering; for how many loads in general I can expect 1 lb of powder to last. (min-max) Please name the powder as well. Powders I'm thinking of using H110, Win296, HP36, Universal btw what is the most economical (but good)...

    is .357 sig dying out?

    I remember a year ago there was a lot more discussion (on this forum) about the calibre and gun chambered for it, now there's hardly any...I personally never been fond of it, so my position didn't really change, but do you guys think less people are interested in the .357sig now then before?

    How many round thru your Glock, Beretta, Sig, Hk or CZ?

    We all heard rumours (’cause that’s what they are) of Gloks lasting 200,000 rounds or more and stuff like that. But how many rounds have you shot through your gun(s) (I listed 5 guns that have the best reputation and that are most common)

    Hk USP what hand size is it made for?

    I can’t figure out what hand size the USP is made/best for; I have medium hands and I find HK’s be even more uncomfortable than Glocks (the while angle thing). Hk's grips are way too narrow (but long) and uncomfortable to hold and I don't have some wierd had size... how can you HK owners live...

    Ruger GP100 or Taurus Raging Bull

    I’m thinking of getting the Taurus in .44 mag (since I can use .44spl in it as well) but ammo cost is a factor since I don’t reload (just yet). That made me take a good look at the GP100 (.357mag) because of the lower ammo cost, (but to be honest it’s not my first choice; in fact I’d probably...

    Are we obsessed with size and power?

    When it comes to guns that is :p I think there’s why too much concern about ‘stopping power’ and size in North America . I mean why do people in Europe feel safe armed with a .32acp? But here in NA you need to have a .40, .45 or bigger to be ‘fully’ armed? .32 used to he an ‘entry level’ self...

    Calibers named after manufacturers

    So far we have; .40 & .500 Smith &Wesson .357 Sig .480 Ruger .45GAP (Glock) .45ACP (Colt?) any others? It seams that Beretta is one of the few manufacturer that hasn’t came out with its own calibre :eek: I for one would like to see what they can come up with :)
