I bought a Dillon 750XL 2 years ago this month with 5 different caliber change kits and carbide die sets to match. It's taken Dillon all this time to get me my die sets (slowly coming in one at a time) and I am still waiting on my 223/556 set. I have talked to them many times over the past 2...

Well after 5 months my bullet order finally arrived! 1000 230gr 45acp and 2000 120gr 9mm coated beauties from Penn Bullets. 70 pounds of goodness. I'm sure my postman didn't appreciate it though. :eek: They are swamped with orders and it's taking quite a while to fill them. Mac

I just returned from a trip to see my son in Cedar Rapids Iowa. While I was there I went to he favorite LGS: Midwest Shooting Supply at 1490 Ketelsen Drive, Hiawatha, IA 52233 (suburb of Cedar Rapids). They just got a shipment of powers in and I snagged: 8lbs Titegroup - $139 8lbs 700X - $141...

I have been shooting Berry's 9mm plated bullets and have been pretty satisfied, but I want to see if a properly sized lead bullet would be more accurate (Berry's measure .356). So I slugged the barrel of my Beretta 92FS. I had to do it twice because I couldn't believe the size. It came out to...

My step father knows that I'm into guns so he gave me this: I looked up the serial number on Colt's website and it's a 1940 Detective Special .38 cal 1st issue. I thought this was kind of strange since the site said that Colt switched to round butts in 1934. After some more research I found...

On my last visit to my son in Cedar Rapids, IA I happen to see a site that just caused me to start drooling! A Midwest Shooting Supply store! We just had to stop and buy a few things. There I stood looking at a wall of various powders, primers, and bullets. Oh my, I'm sure I looked like an...

I use Berry's Plated bullets and I know they are loaded between lead and jacketed powder wise. My question is: Can I use the speed obtained compared to a jacketed of the same weight and type to estimate how much I should adjust the powder charge? For example: Berry 124gr HBRN (TP) 9mm...

My son and I were shooting some reloads of mine yesterday and I stuck one in the barrel of my Ruger GP100. I have been using this load for quite a while now without any problems and I'm not sure if it was a light drop from my Lee Pre Auto Disk powder measure or what. Here is the load I am...

I have been wanting to get into reloading for a couple of years now and finally decided to take the plunge. My son and I mostly shoot 9mm and 38/357, so this is what I will be reloading. Right now I would say that we shoot together a couple hundred 9mm and a hundred or so 38 rounds per month...
