I don't have a second scale (yet) to verify my Lee Safety Scale's measurements so I was wondering what the variance is, in general, of a charge if the indicators are not exactly level with each other but are just the tiniest bit uneven. I think I read somewhere that the scale will go completely...

As the title suggests, what are your opinions on both digital (electronic) and analog (beam) scales? I'm looking at upgrading to an RCBS 10-10 beam scale, but I'm also looking at going digital. Opinions abound on this. Would love to know yours.

So, I'm pouring over 4 different sources of load data (Lee, Lyman, Sierra, & Hodgdon). I'm loading for a 9mm 124gr LRN (for all intents and purposes - it's a plated RN by Rainier who recommends LRN load data). Some have data for 124gr LRN, some have data for 125gr LRN. Assuming the same bullet...

Hey all, I had the opportunity to pick up some Rainier LeadSafe bullets locally. Those with experience with these, what are your favorite loads? I've got some Bullseye, Titegroup and WST in my powder cabinet. I'm loading Rainier 9mm 124gr RN and .45ACP 230gr RN. They'll be used for casual...

Search is kinda funky right now, so forgive me if this has been covered... So, in my Lee manual the suggested start grains for Bullseye with a 115gr jacketed bullet is 5.0gr. The max is also 5.0gr. I can't correlate with Lyman as the manual does not have any data for 115gr FMJs. From what I've...

Wow, what a rush! Shot my first 10 reloads of .45ACP yesterday. Pretty nice grouping at 10 yards. The first 3 shots were flyers, but I think it was due to nerves, the rest made one ragged hole. :D I have not tested the rounds on a bench rest at any distance yet, but I plan to with my next batch...

Hi all, So I've nearly got all my gear together and have started to clean my first batch of once-fired factory brass. My question is: what do you do with cases that are just a tiny bit deformed - as when they are not perfectly round when looking at the mouth? Clearly I plan on discarding cases...

Well, I've dressed up my Dan Wesson CBOB with some new slim grips from The Finer Grain. The fella who makes them goes by Sarge43 here on TFL but he's built his rep on some of the other 1911 forums, which is how I came across his site. This set of grips was a custom order and Sarge43 was very...

Don't know if anyone's noticed, SA's updated their website to showcase the XDm in 9mm. http://www.the-m-factor.com/ Who's getting one?

Anyone know if the USP Compact 45 magazine seen here will work in an HK45c? I think it will, but wanted to be doubly sure before ordering. I prefer this mag over the stock because it has no finger rest. Thanks, CJ

Well, I decided to delay my wheel gun purchase in favor of a compact .45 auto. Lately, I've been able to shoot the .45 much better than any other big bore caliber in a wide range of guns and I figured it would be a good addition to my small, but growing, collection. I narrowed it down to the HK...

Couldn't find anything substantial in a preliminary search, so I figured I'd ask the question... Who's got experience with both of these pistols? Looking for general opinions, pros and cons, differences, etc. (and please, no recommending other brands or guns...I'm only interested in hearing...

Hope this is firearms related enough, but check out a neat way to cool your drinks...great stocking stuffer for the gun enthusiasts in your family... AK Ice Tray

Money may be tight with the economy the way it is, but with the holidays coming up, I'm sure some of you are eying a little something something... So what's your next handgun purchase? Or what's next on your wish list if the market has you down? I'll start: I'm looking to round out my...

So, I'm looking at purchasing some 9mm 124gr +P Gold Dots. What's the difference between the Lawman flavor and regular flavor?

It's an oldie (2003) but goodie... Modern Marvels: Bullets is reairing tonight at 12:00 midnight ET on the History Channel. Set your TiVo...

So I'd like to properly learn how to fully disassemble and reassemble my DW CBOB - not just for cleaning or inspection, but also to know more about the platform and how things work... Any good recommendations on videos? The online guides are great with the pictures and all, but if a picture is...

Any recent PPS owners out there (like in the last month or so)? Curious to know if Walther ironed out issues with some of the earlier models (backstrap, ejector, etc.).

I know the older formula of BC Gun Scrubber was not so good for some synthetics, polymers, and wood. But the new formula says it's safe for such weapons. Anyone have any experience with the new Gun Scrubber?

Soooooooooo...the honeymoon is over with my new P239 SAS 9mm and we've had our first fight. :o After putting through 350 rounds of 115gr FMJ plinking rounds, I wanted to try out some of my preferred SD ammo which is 147gr Hornady TAP JHPs. They won't chamber when I rack the slide. Well, at...
