Anyone know what happened to this slow burning, easy to meter powder? I just put nearly the last of my supply under some 175 gr. 7 mm bullets. The 7 mag really likes this powder with heavy bullets. Guess I will have to go with Re25. I loaded both Speer and Hornady 160's with it, but I have not...

OK...not asking about the best 1911, opinions of Glock, etc. What do you recommend in a .32 ACP? I already have a mouse gun. Something for lots of shooting. PPK? Mauser? Sig? Yes, I have a .22. What say?

Anyone have real world experience with these? Yes, I ran a search. What is your main use? Reliable? Easy to clean? I'm thinking a fun shooter, not a main battle rifle.

Place was packed. Completely out of .32 ACP, and I heard a sales person say, "That's the last of the 9." I did get some .40, and checked out a Kahr PM9. Nice pistol, but I think I will try to figure a good way to carry the Glock 23 before I go for another $600. Until then, the lowly mouse goes...

Something I wonder about (other than whether I can retire before I'm 85) is how come some calibers inspire rants, while others never do. I mean, I have a .40 "short and weak", and while it won't send 300 grains of lead out at 1,200 fps like my .45, it doesn't seem all that weak. And a lot more...

Carrying a Kel-Tec P-32 around Ohio for a few weeks brought a couple questions to mind. First, fellow Buckeyes, how much have you been inconvenienced by "posted" businesses? (In Ohio, a business may forbid CCW by posting a notice at the entrance.) I have been surprised by how few deny the right...

I picked up my Ohio CCW this afternoon, 10 days after applying. All things considered, it's a user friendly process here. I will be carrying a Glock 23 in a Dillon holster, or if I can't hide that, the much maligned P-32 loaded with Buffalo Bore +P. By the way, I enjoy shooting that little...

OK, a couple strange questions. Where did the term "roscoe" come from? I notice one of our members is tote'n one. (Me too, as soon as my permit comes.) And who remembers the term Sean Connery used for a pistol when he confronted Kevin Costner on the bridge in The Untouchables? Maheshka?

Just started shooting this caliber. What is your favorite target/practice bullet and SD bullet? Personal advice, forum search, and loading manuals have me convinced to load Power Pistol.

I traded my 66-2 2 1/2" and a few $ for a Glock 23. Now, I know I'm going to like the Glock. It's got a few upgrades, and 2 boxes of Winchester Ranger came with. But why, oh why did I give up the K frame? Well, my loading manuals tell me that the .357 tops the .40...in a longer barrel. My...

Just back from the range and ran a clip each of Federal (65 gr JHP@950) and CorBon (60 gr JHP@ 1000+) through the little .32. I had one jam with the CorBon, and it was noticably "stiff". The Federal went through just like practice ammo. My Speer manual show a 60 gr JHP at 1060 in a 'DNR' load...

Yes, I tasted the sinful apple and bought a P-32, and the little devil was so much fun I'm thinking of another bottom feeder. There is a practical side (rationalization actually) in that I don't think my wife (yes, blame it on her) will be able to handle the Model 66 that resides in the night...

To start, I did check a Model 94 Winchester .32 Special in my luggage on a 1996 trip to Germany. It was a gift for my cousin, a licensed hunter. "Armed" with a copy of his license, I declared the gun to customs. Opened the case for the inspectors, who were delighted to see a Winchester, less...

Not "bad" like that .32 packin' fellow Jim Croce sang about, but ammo that you have had a poor experience with. I will try several flavors, but with the hot SD ammo going for $1 each, I would like to weed some out.

I finally polished up all the .38 Special cases I had and primed 100 of them. I have some Hornady 125 grain XTP on hand, along with a can of AA#5. As usual, I checked several references, and was surprised at the variation. Hornady says 7.6 grain max as a +P load. Accurate Arms says 7.1 max +P...

Finally found time to try some loads and could not get my Pact XM1 to read. It's been very reliable; maybe the light was wrong. I did get one reading of 2,812 fps with the 7mm shooting 175 gr Speer MagTips over 76 gr of some old H870 I had. No read at all on 77 gr load (78 is listed max). Good...

Now that Ohio has seen the light, I'm getting my permit. And being a revolver guy, I have what some would call the perfect carry gun--S&W 66-2 2 1/2" with combat grips. Very nice in a high-ride Galco holster. But as I normally dress, that's open carry. Reading these forums and various websites...

Yes, I ran a search, but it wasn't productive. There is a Ruger 77 .17 Mach 2 for sale here, and I notice Ruger has discontinued that model. Any experience with this round? Very flat to 100 yards, but it does not appear to offer much advantage over a .22 LR. Ammo is pretty steep as well. Ruger...

It's been out awhile, and there was some comment last year. Any long term experience? I have not heard much about this shotgun lately. Will it cycle light loads? Any experience would be appreciated.

Discussion on another forum got me thinking about 8 mm calibers. My brother has the "family" Mauser 98 8x57 that I used to carry, and I loaded him some 150 gr Speer HotCor over 49 gr IMR 4064. That's mid-range of the Speer Manual, and at the time I didn't even have a chronograph. This rifle has...
