It's not pretty, but it is an interesting read. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/05/01/magazine/remington-guns-jobs-huntsville.html?utm_source=pocket-newtab

How long do you retain your purchase records (original invoice, applications, etc.) after you sell a firearm? The finance guy in me says 7 years (IRS protocol). Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

My daughter resides in NYC, recently earned her Masters degree in Art Management. She and my wife attended "Armory Week" in the city, the annual marketing effort of artists from all over the world. Attached are three photos she captured that caught her attention that she sent to me. I...

I've been loading for just over two years now. I always wear safety glasses throughout the priming/power/bullet seating process (I process brass separately, have it stored and ready to load). Lately I've been wondering if the risk stops after I seat primers and can do away with the glasses...

Board, need some direction. I've already stripped one die and had it replaced by Lee under their warranty program. I have lubed the outside of the case (neck and shoulder) as well as the inside of the neck with lubricant Lee provided. The decapping pin continues to displace/dislodge, which...

Has anybody out there purchased Maxam #5 powder for use in 9mm, specifically a carbine? If so, I would like to hear your thoughts on the effectiveness of this powder. Many thanks.

I have a query for the board. Is it possible for a failure to eject to take place simply due to the weight of a gun? I have previously loaded 9mm rounds, 115 gr lead cast bullet, Silhouette powder - 5.1 gr, CCI SP primer, for my wifes’ CZ 75 P-01 (fully broken in, over 2k rounds through it...

Guys, as you know the purchase of a any weapon is just the beginning of the adventure. With it comes the accessories necessary to "care for and feed" the beast. In my case I am formulating a budget for two rifles, which will be my first as I only own handguns at this time. I am also a hand...

I am currently loading 9mm (wifes' CZ 75 P01) and Makarov (CZ 82). I plan on putting the Mak on a shelf soon and buying a Canik Stingray, also 9mm. My principal home defense weapon is a Taurus model 66 .357 magnum. For the fun of it, and just because I want to, I'm planning on buying a...

Went to the range today and experienced what I think is an under-loaded round but am looking for confirmation. Here are the specifications of my round using a CZ 82 Makarov pistol; Tula small pistol primer Starline brass case Missouri lead cast bullet, 95 grains 4.75 grains of Silhouette power...

I am considering a new project, re-bluing a revolver. I'm wondering how difficult a project it really is? Is it something you guys do without hesitation or don't even want to mess with it? Just a few thoughts on the subject would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Guys, I have been at my bench today reloading my Makarov CZ-82. I'm frustrated with the inconsistency in the lead cast bullets that I purchased, have been measuring them and batching by size then adjusting my die accordingly to arrive at a specific OAL during the load process. I immediately...

Good evening, I'm on my second round of depriming/sizing/cleaning brass that I have either shot myself or picked up at the range. I began loading in January and have learned much from the board. Many of you sort by head stamp and I'm beginning to understand why, consistency of the round. I...

I received the 49th edition of Lymans' loading manual this week and have begun reading. Earlier this year I purchased and read the Lee manual. Lyman is much more meticulous than Lee. As an example, Lee only address case trimming when he's talking about rifles. Lyman address both handgun and...

I was at the range today and encountered what I can only describe as a peppering effect on some of my rounds. I was firing my 9MM Makarov which produced what felt like small pebbles hitting my face. This has not happened previously. This was only my second time loading for this weapon. I am...

Board, I need some valuable input. I was loading 9mm last night and kept coming up with an inconsistent OAL. I am loading for a CZ 75 P-01. The chamber size is a bit tight so the max length can only be 1.068. The OAL kept changing on my rounds, sometimes right on the money but most of the...

I often hear that we can never have too many load manuals. If I am producing limited ballistics; specifically 9mm and 9mmM, why do I need more than one load manual plus access to data from the vendors I purchase powder from? Could someone please elaborate? Thanks.

Greetings, March 21. Today BassPro listed 3 CCI primer types available for purchase (not shotgun either - pistol and rifle). Actually, they are available for back order. Once you select the button for purchase it advises you of the back order status. I take this as a good sign that supplies...
