I have a dozen 223 cartridge cases, with live primers in them. I need advise on the safest way to de-prime them. I was thinking of just taking them out to the back yard and running them through my rifle. I don't know how much noise that is going to make. I don't want the neighbors calling the...

Happy holidays to all. Santa put a Savage bolt action 223 with scope in my stocking, Neat trick.:D:D:D

I have been using a Lee case activated powder drop. When I load for pistol it has been fine. I bought a kit for it so I could load 223's. It was terrible. Massive leakage. Tolerance, between parts, was way too broad and it did not handle H4895 very well at all. After loading 50 rounds I was not...

I was installing primers into 200 rounds of .223’s. 190 are Winchester and 10 are marked F C. The Winchester’s installed fine but the F C would not take a primer. I measured the primer pocket and found they were all over the place. 4 were in tolerance but on the edge of the low side. The other...

I have been reloading for about 25 years but it has always been pistol cartridges. Now I am in the market for a 223 boltaction rifle. Have not bought one yet. Still looking. Almost have all the additional equipment I need to reload. Went to a gun show this past week-end and found a pretty fair...

Just over 2 weeks ago, I went to a gun show looking for a 22LR Auto. I already have a Ruger mark II, so I wanted something different. I like 22's. I now have 5. Great guns for just having fun shooting without the expense. The show was a gold mine of 22 auto's. There was one, that for me, stood...

Spent 2 1/2 hours at the range on friday and shot up 210 rounds. Had a great time. Easy gun to shoot and very acurate. It is an indoor range with only 25 yards to the targets so I kept the scope at 3 power. The scope came already mounted and at 25 yards it was right on, straight out of the box...

Been looking around for several weeks for a rifle. Since I am to old to go to war, Been there done that, and I don't hunt. I just wanted a rifle that I could put holes in paper and kill cans, without using up alot of funds on Ammo. After much research I finally made my choice. Brought it home...

I have a very small arsenal of revolvers. 2 each .22 and 3 each .357. When I go to the range all but one 357 gets used. That one 357 went to the gun show with me, this past week-end, with the idea in mind, to finance a new addition to the revolver line up. I had in mind that a 38 special short...

After owning it for 2 months, I finally got it out on the range. Really stiff double action trigger but it can be managed. Cocking it for single action shooting his hard on the thumb. The serrations on the hammer are really sharp. Now that is the bad stuff. The good stuff is that it is the most...

The last shotgun I owned was 56 years ago and I can't even remember what it was. Went to the gun show today with the idea in mind to trade a Marlin 22 rifle for a Mossberg 500 or a Remington 870. Did not find a Single 870 and only 1 500. The 500 was used and had a price tag that would normally...

Went to the gun show on Sunday, looking to add a short barreled 357 to my arsenal. I presently have 4 revolvers with medium to long barrels. I have several auto’s. Two of them are 9mm Berettas. I took the older of the two, to use as trading stock. Lots of short barreled 357’s were available...

Revolvers are my favorite type of firm arm. Mostly .22’s and .357’s. I like heavy guns with steel frames. Went to the gun show last month looking to add one each to my arsenal. For the 357, I was looking for a short barrel and thinking a Rhino might fill the bill. There was one at the show...

The passed couple of months I have been buying fired brass at the gun shows. I put them through the tumbler, then inspect each one for damage and discard unacceptable ones. I have over 800 rounds. Went to the range on Sunday with 3 revolvers. 2 357’s and 1 .22. I had a FTF on my S&W 686. I...

I use a lee turret press but I use a hand primer tool to install the primers. I just finished loading 500 rounds when I found 8 wayward shells still in the tumbler. So I figured I would set the primers using the primer tool on the press. I followed the press instructions but it left all 8...

I sold all my reloading equipment about 15 years ago. I am just now getting back into reloading. I bought all new equipment, and located 500 38 special shells I had stored away. I have a Lee turret press and was double checking everything before getting started. I was checking the powder drop...

Sorry double thread.

I have a Ruger LC9. I have nothing bad to say about it. It is like buying a pair of shoes. If you do not get the right size, they will be uncomfortable and you won't wear them. Well that is what happened. I tried very hard to make this pistol fit and failed. The DAO trigger pull is very...

When I go to the range, I usually take 3 auto pistols. I have 5. Ruger mark II a Baretta 380, Baretta 9mm. Ruger subcompact 9mm and a Springfield 45. I use to be a terrible shot but with going to the range once and sometimes twice a month, I have improved. Now I am just bad. So today I went to...
