    Unknown Primers

    I just bought a large lot of reloading equipment and supplies at an estate sale, mostly dies and bullets, but included was approximately 1500 rounds of reloaded .38 Special. I pulled all of them, disposed of the powder and sorted the bullets for later use. There was no load info included, so I...

    New Smith 325pd

    I've been on the lookout for a Smith & Wesson 325pd for a while now, and finally stumbled into one I couldn't pass up. It's used, in excellent condition, and I got a spare set of grips and demooning tool in the deal.

    .45 ACP 200gr SWC Load?

    I'd like to work up a reasonably hot .45 ACP 200gr SWC load. I'm familiar with the Cooper load of 7.3(?) grains of Unique under a 215gr wadcutter, and if I recall that load should run up close to 1100 fps from a 5" barrel, but I'd like to tweak that one a tad. I'll be using a 200gr cast SWC...

It was labeled Bullseye Low Flash, and according to the guy running the table, it was just Bullseye with a flash suppressant added, which he said slowed the burn rate down approximately 5%. Has anyone...

    Added a rail to a Springfield Loaded

    I had been looking for a railed 1911 for use as a dedicated HD handgun and couldn't find one I really cared for, so I decided to add a rail to one I already had. I chose this Springfield Loaded because I have 2 others identical to it, and this one has no sentimental value attached to it, which...

    I am a lucky man

    My lovely wife presented me with my 30th birthday gift tonight. A tad early, but she says she couldn't wait. Looks like I'll be taking a long lunch at the range tomorrow.

    Mustang help

    I seem to have gotten the ejector on my Colt Mustang Pocketlite reversed. I've seen threads here that say you can depress the main spring to fix this problem. Can someone here tell me exactly how to do this? Thanks

    Can someone give me some info/value on this shotgun?

    I have an old 16 gauge, side by side Lefever shotgun. I have found out that is was made in 1925, but this is the only info I have found. Can anyone here tell me anything about this gun (hopefully including what the value might be) Thanks
