My dad suggested that I try using magnum primers with my current .45 ACP load; 6.5 grains of Unique under a 200 grain flat point Berry's bullet, using mixed brass and CCI 300 large pistol primer. I don't have a chronograph, so I don't have any velocity data. I have been guaging the load by...

Took my mom to the range on Sunday after church, just a mom and son afternoon. She helped me test fire a couple of new loads and gave the target center heck doing it!:cool: She hadn't been out to shoot in about 10 years, but you wouldn't know it from the way she was shooting. She even did all of...

Heard it on the local news today that Avondale is dumping their .40S&W Glocks because of reliability issues. The department claims the Glocks jam too often. None of the other Phoenix area departments that issue Glocks have reported any problems. I think somebody in Avondale just wants a new...

I already have the Speer and Lyman #47 manuals, but I think a third reference is called for. What manuals do you guys refer to when you go to the bench? All replies welcomed, unless it hurts my feelings.:p

I traded a Charles Daly for a Kimber!:cool: I told the Boss Lady, but she just asked "Why?".:rolleyes: I told her that if she had to ask she wouldn't understand.:D I knew you guys (and gals!) would understand!:D :cool: Now I have to take two new guns out to get them broken in, darn.:D

I saw a S&W model 65 Lady Smith for 329$ the other day. Does this sound a bit high, or just about right. The gun is in good repair with only a turn line marring the finish on the cylinder. Does this sound like a great deal, or just okay?

I saw a U.S. Firearms SAA with a case color frame and blue unturned cylinder for 499$. It sounds like a good deal, but I don't know anything about U.S. Firearms, or what this gun is worth. I will be getting a SAA for use in CAS events in the near future, should I buy this gun? Will it be...

I bought a Charles Daly 1911 back in November 2001 and after shooting it I discovered pitting in the bore while cleaning it. I had it sent back to KBI in December 2001. My dealer was informed yesterday that I would be getting a new gun.:confused: All I thought it needed was a new barrel because...

147-grain Federal Hydra-Shok.

It happened in Phoenix, AZ today. I only caught some of the details on the news. Two armed Hispanic men held up a snack-wagon. They beat the driver and shot him in the leg. The cook escaped out the back door of the truck while this was happening. A good Samaritan saw the robbery happening...

Anybody else here about this? While at the grocery last night I saw an article in Guns magazine about the new 10mm Express. It was developed by ACE Custom guns and Texas Ammunition, the same folks that brought us the .45 Super.:cool: The article said the 10mm Express is hotter than the original...

I bought a Charles Daly yesterday. I was bitten by the "cheap 1911 to tinker with" bug. It has Novak sights (dovetailed front no less), lowered and flared ejection port, front cocking serations, comander style hammer and beavertail grip safety with release button (memorygrove, whatever you want...

I know that Unique was reformulated so that it would be cleaner burning, but is it? I've been using HP-38, and I'm happy with it, but I've been thinking about trying out the new formula. I'm curious as to whether those of you that have been using Unique for some time have noticed a difference...

I went to a superwalmart yesterday and bought five 100 round value boxes, the 115 grain 9mm "white box" ammo. When I got home I started putting the lose packed ammo into some MTM cases to stash in my range bag and the munitions locker. As I'm putting the rounds into the cases I discovered some...

I found an unfired preban Colt CAR-15 Sporter. The owner wants 1400$ for it. Is this rifle worth that kind of money? If I buy it I will shoot it, I don't have any Safe Queens, so I'm curious about its real worth. If it was you, would you go for it and shoot it?

Besides caliber, what are the differences between these two? What are the advantages and limitations?

Does anyone here, besides myself, go to the range on bad weather days? I live in Arizona so I don't get many rainy days, but I like to get out to the range to practice if I can. About all I get to practice in usually is high heat.

It's a Holiday, I can now go out and shoot my new Walther P99!!!:D:D:D

The newest member of my clan finally made his way into the world on Saturday the 25th of November at a whopping nine pounds, three and one half ounces!:cool: :eek: :confused: :D (Those of us mit kinder know what I mean.) It only took several false starts, three hours of non-productive hard labor...

I just bought a Walther P99 Military (OD Green frame). I like the little bugger and I haven't even shot it yet! I won't get a chance to take it to the range for a few more weeks, but I would like some opinions, likes, dislikes and anecdotes from other Walther P99 owners and/or borrowers...
