    Conflicting Load Data

    Greetings All, I want to load some 300 Win Mag. I have H4350 powder, and 180 grain Sierra Matchking Hollow Point Boat Tail bullets. I mention IMR-4350 below because I've heard that IMR-4350 and H4350 are almost identical. I ordered IMR-4350 but a vendor sent me H4350 instead, so that's what...

    Hornady 300 Win Mag Case Gauge

    Greetings all. I decided that I am going to start loading 300 Win Mag, so I bought all the necessary items--dies, powder, primers, bullets, etc. I bought a Hornady case gauge (see photo). I noticed that it is different from my other case gauges in the fact that all of my other gauges have a...

    Unique??? for 300 Win Mag???

    Greetings all, I am going to start loading 300 Win Mag, and was reviewing load data in Lyman's Reloading Handbook (49th edition). After seeing many powders in the 70-80 grain region, I was stunned to see that Unique is mentioned--and at a mere 16-30 grains! Certainly this cannot be the same...

    Greetings, I purchased a Ruger Precision Rimfire .22 rifle, and would appreciate suggestions for a good scope & rings combo. Looking for suggestions from people who actually have this rifle and have outfitted it with a scope & rings. I am willing to spend about $700 if necessary. Thanks much...

    Stuck Gas Regulator BAR 300 Win Mag

    I inherited a Browning BAR 300 Win Mag. I never saw my father break it down after shooting it, so I thought I would go through it. Not knowing anything about the innards of a BAR, I watched a Youtube video and it seems that breaking it down would be reasonably simple. I am stuck though. I...

    Netflix movie "Anon"

    Has anyone seen the Netflix movie 'Anon'? There's a scene in the movie that shows a stainless revolver--supposedly a "Brown Ryazan 914"...I googled it...no luck. I don't suppose it's an Ed Brown gun. Does anyone know what revolver is used in the movie? It's a nice looking wheelgun. Thanks...

    Lyman's Data Discrepancy...what does your book say?

    Hello! I have reloaded pistol for a long time, and am now starting to reload rifle cartridges. My friend and I were discussing data from Lyman's 49th edition, specifically dimensions of the .308 Winchester cartridge. We found that even though we both have the same edition, the given data...

    Is Calico still in business?

    Greetings all. I've been trying to reach Calico arms. Their phone numbers are disconnected. However, their web page let me make a purchase last week. I have not received a confirmation email of the purchase or anything like that. I actually was able to leave them a voicemail last week...

    G43 - Tough Triggers!

    I bought a Glock G43 a few weeks back. Love it, except for the insanely stout trigger pull. Have any of you tried a Ghost disconnect specifically on a G43? I know they work reasonably well on other models, but I've heard mixed reviews regarding how they work on a G43. Thanks much. U.L.

    Titegroup Powder - Weird Issue

    Hello all. I'm looking for people that use Titegroup powder. I was lucky enough to get some recently from Bi-Mart, and am using it to load some 9mm ammo. I loaded some rounds, and the dispenser on my press was down to about 1/4 full. I poured the rest of the pound of powder into the press...

    Darnit, I have an extra part...

    Hello. I stripped my S&W 686P today and as I am putting it back together, I notice an 'extra' part I had never noticed before (picture attached). Anyone know what it is and where it goes? It's a little pin, rounded on one end, flat on the other. Thanks in advance. Uncle Loodis[/ATTACH]

    Bullseye Powder & 9 X 19

    Greetings. I am using some relatively new (couple years old) Bullseye powder for a 9mm load. Usually I like HP-38 but I can't find any, and I have some Bullseye, so I'm going to use it. Load data in my Lyman's Handbook (49th ed.) says that for a 115 grain jacketed hollow point, max load is...

    Stuck Cylinder Pin in Ruger Single Six

    Greetings. A close friend of mine asked me if I would 'clean up' his Ruger Single Six (22LR). Unfortunately, it seems that the removable pin that holds the cylinder in place is stuck/rusted to the inside of the cylinder. The entire assembly (pin and cylinder combined). I have removed the...

    Anyone use X-treme BRASS?

    Hello. I have used a LOT of X-treme brand plated bullets in the past with great results. Has anyone tried X-treme brand brass? Good? Bad? Better than toast on a stick? I'd like to try some but always like to hear others' results first. I look forward to replies. Thanks! :) Uncle Loodis...

    Best Holster for a Glock 34?

    Hello. I am looking for a good competition holster for my Glock 34. I tried my G34 about a month ago in a steel shoot. I have a plastic holster but it has a release button that wasn't releasing all that well (probably me, not the holster), and cost me a lot of time. I'm looking for a...

    RWS 54 Issue - What should I expect?

    Greetings all. I just purchased an RWS 54 air rifle, .22 cal., with RWS 4 x 32 scope (came with the rifle), new, from MWUSA. I have been trying to sight it in, in my back yard, at 30 yards, using RWS 'superdome' pellets (14.5 grain). I have had mixed results. I have shot 1" groups, I have...

    The movie "Babel"

    I just finished the movie "Babel". Has anyone else seen it? It was supposed to be a great movie, but what I found was more Hollywood anti-gun propaganda. What a disappointment it was! :mad: Uncle Loodis

    Hey, I just went to Brownell's and MidwayUSA...both were out of mags for Glock 19 (gen 3). What's a fair price for magazines 15 rd., 30 rd. these days, say at a show...if you can even find them? thanks. U.L.

    Berry's .38 Bullet Issue

    Greetings. I have had issues with Berry's in the past regarding this, so I don't know why I keep going back to them...except their cheap. I'll cut to the chase: I bought some (2,000) .38/.357 double struck, 158 grain, round nose bullets. They measure .355" in diameter. Is this too small of a...
