    Need for draw speed a myth?

    We all know the scene, two men facing off amano amano and the winner is the fastest one to the draw. Now, how often in real life does this happen? In almost every case I have read about the BG has their gun out first or you have several seconds of warning of a BG in your house, store, whatever...

    Pinout on the Chrony RS232 link

    They sell a minijack to a RS232 9 Pin Din connector for the Chrony to hook to the computer, does anyone know the pinout on that? Seems silly to pay almost 30 bucks for 10 dollars worth of wire and connectors. I have the RS232 to USB adapter already or they would want another $27 dollars for that!

    Did first reload last night

    Loaded up about 92 rounds of 124 grain JHP using HP38 4.4 grains with Winchester standard primers (it would have been 100 but there is a learning curve after all.) Validated the charge every 5 shells. Weighed all of the final product and they where all +/- 0.6 grains in weight from each other...

    Got my Lee Delux set up!

    Put the bench together and got the press mounted. Have the 9mm dies loaded and set according to the factory guide I decapped about 150 spent cases and then cleaned the primer pockets.

    Safety pistol unload box

    I just wanted to know if someone has any idea what the boxes they have at police stations are called that they point their pistols into while unloading them? Since most accidental discharges seem to happen during unloading it seems one might be a good addition to the home. I guess you could...

    Reclaimed lead

    Anyone ever work out a deal with a shooting range to recycle lead to cast your own bullets with? Seems there would be a ton or two of bullets buried in the backstops at some long term ranges. Mike

    Starting to load

    Here is what I have purchased to begin hand loading (Yes, I know it isn't a single press, I will have 3-9mm handguns and one 9mm carbine that I will be reloading for and that will be a lot of rounds (3 shooters)) I already have about 500 cases for reloading. 1 of 21-5922 Lee Deluxe Turret Press...

    Reloading 9mm

    Is it possible to reload 9mm with a rifle type bullet (Spitzer, boat tail)? To get a 9mm +P accurate out to 200 yards a more aerodynamic bullet would have to be used. Does anyone know of anything other than "standard" handgun bullet shapes for 9mm reloading? A 35 caliber runs 9.093 mm and a 9mm...

    Hi-Point 9mm Carbine

    Just got one of the latest generation of this carbine. See a lot of people calling them toys. Yet in the same thread people say they have run thousands of rounds through them with no problems, they are accurate and have a great warrentee. Now, I look at the higher recommended Kel-Tec 2000 and...
