I was buying reload supplies and thought that I grabbed a box of 500 230gr jacketed rn 45acp, and what I really bought was 500 230gr rn 45acp lead. Always shied away from lead in the past, just ignorance I guess. Now I have 500 of the them, not going to run them thru my glock or my hk because...

I have had my eye on the 25th anniversary Beretta m9 for about 6 months and after asking alot of question here, and alot of looking at the gun shows. I decided what the heck I deserve another pistol. I didn't have a Beretta so this kinda rounds out my collection. So I now have another beauty...

In researching for a new purchase I found out that it has a aluminum frame. I didn't mention the name because I don't want to start a war about names. I don't have any aluminum frame pistols, although I do have some tupperware that I have alot of confidence in. So what is the story about...

Happy New Year to all, and thanks for taking the time to read my thread. I have been reloading pistol for a while and .223/ 5.56 rifle a few times.

Gentlemen, I have a issue with a scope that loses center after rifle warms up. Its a nice scope (Nikkon Prostaff 3x9x40) Mounted on a Ar15 with a 20 in barrel.

With the help of this site and my manuals, I have been loading pistol for about a year. I have starting reloading for my .223 semi auto and will move on to my .308 bolt soon. As I understand it, one of the first variables to tackle is speed consistency. Not that the fastest is most accurate but...
