Anyone modify brass shells to use 209 primers? I find 209 primers easy to purchase; and have a lot on hand. Was told that in cowboy action reloads, some ppl modify their brass. I have a 45/70 trapdoor and my large rifle primers on hand are getting low. I could make a 209 pocket in a 45/70 shell...

I deployed mid August 1990 with a S&W M10 38 spcl revolver and was later issued a M1911 45 as well as ending up with a M9 9mm before it was all over with. I recall seeing some aircrew with Colts and Ruger 38 spcl revolvers. One Cpt had a K frame S&W 357 mag like I use to carry while doing Nuke...

Went out and shot a new piece to my collection. The K frame S&W 357 Mag (19-3) was so smooth and accurate. Nice having the adjustable site that my 10-6 38 Spcl does not have. Both are very smooth and fun shooters.

I saw a double barrel shotgun and the stock looked identical to my GG Grandfathers. So bought it as a wall hanger next to his picture. My GG Grandfathers shotgun had no marks on it at all. This one I bought has just one thing on it. On both sides it has "Atlantic Arms Co" Question is, is this...

What did soldiers see during the Gulf War? I saw more Russian Makarov pistols than anything else. But did see the Tokarev and Tariq. Our Bn XO brought back a 380. Not sure the make. On a side note, I deployed for Desert Storm with a M10 S&W revolver, then was issued a 1911 and during Desert...

Our military vehicle club recently supported a 3 day WW2 display camp for Memorial Day. Most of the WW2 vets mistook the 98 for the 03 or vice versa. I did not correct them. But instead asked them to tell me about all the weapons they used back then. Just about everyones favorite was the M1...

I have one, but missing the desert camo sleeve that goes around the box. I need some good pictures in ordered to recreate one.

I was very pleased to say the least, shooting an SKS with the grenade launcher. I got it for a military vehicle display I do and found it a real nice shooter. I think the added weight of the grenade launcher is what makes it so nice to shoot. Was shooting a 3 inch grop at 100 yards with open...

I recently became the new owner of a Stevens model 77B that looks just like the Stevens model used in Vietnam. Exception is the adjustable choke on the end of the barrel and the mag tube only holds 2 shells. The mag tube looks like its the same length of the military model. Questions Can the...

I have an old Lee single mold that has no markings other than the manufacturer. It spits out a single solid base full wadcutter that is typical tumble lube looking with what appears to be a crimp grove just before the top. It weighs in a 150 after sizing. I cannot get any powder right now but...

I want to cast bullets for plinking in my 9mm and my 38 should I just buy the .357 sizer die? I'm shooting for fun, not compatition. I have a 9mm rifle and pistol as well as several 38 revolvers. All modern. I have been cast bullets for my 45LC for about a year and seems to work great.

Where can I find data on reloading a 9mm for use in my Rugar PC4 rifle? It fires regular reloads just fine, but since it is rated for +P+, I'd like to do up some hotter loads in 147gr bullet weight. It feels like I'm shooting a .22 with the 115gr or 124 Barry's.

Started reloading again a year ago. Picked Unique because it seemed a good all round powder, similar to Universal I used back in caveman times. Last two trips to pick up a new supply, everyone was out of stock. Then I realized they changed the label from orange (new cleaner) to grey with an old...

I only reload about 300 to 400 rounds a month. So it works well. However, the old primers slowly were filling up the interior of the hollow center ram. Today I discovered a small sliding door on the bottom for emptying the spent primers.

Saw an old S&W model 10 with the heavy 4 inch barrel for sale and picked it up:). In the Army as a Huey Crewchief I carried one just like it. Trigger is so smooth. Just like my S&W 29-3 Silhouette 44 Mag. 25 yrd test yielded 40 out of 40 on silhouette:D. From the posts I looked through, looks...

Bought a box of Winchester PDX1 Defender 410/45 Combo Pack at BassPro Shop to check out. You cannot open the box in the store. Once home I discovered one 45 Cal round had the bullet installed upside down. BassPro Shop said they cannot take ammo back for exchanges. Emailed Winchester and...
