    RMR 124gn Matchwinners data

    Howdy folks, I just ordered a thousand RMR 124gn truncated cone FMJ rounds and I'm looking for some advice on this bullet. To date I've only ever reloaded normal FMJ RN in 9mm so I'm curious on seating depth and load data. For 124gn FMJ RN I like using CFE Pistol so that's what I'm gonna try...

    Keltec RDB experiences

    Hello friends, I'm strongly considering picking up a keltec RDB in .556, and I'm curious if anyone here has experience or opinions about the rifle? I've got plenty of AR-15s, and what interests me most about this rifle is the 20" barrel length while still being 5" shorter than an extended mil...

    Optics options for a GP100

    Hello friends, At the range I go to I'm seeing more and more optics on everyone's handguns, and usually it's a Glock MOS with some sort of red dot. The nice optics, and even nicer groups, have me wanting to get in on the action- Except instead of a boring ol' Glock I'm looking at mounting a red...

    What cartridge for hiking in Grizzly country?

    Hello friends, I'm considering a hike into Colorado grizzly bear country this summer and I intend to hike with something more substantial than bear spray. I'm debating whether .44 magnum will be sufficient in a heavy loading, or whether I am truly in need of a .454 or greater chambered...

    What's so great about Redding dies?

    Hello friends, I'm just getting into reloading and I firmly subscribe to the "buy once, cry once" school of thought. To that end I've been researching what gear to get started with carefully and I've decided I'm going to get a Forster Co-Ax press and 'the best dies available' to go with it...

    Cylinder End Shake

    Hello friends, I just recently sent my Ruger SP101 to the factory to resolve an issue with the pawl and I just received it today. They included a statement of work that indicated the pawl and hand repairs I had needed, but they also mentioned they adjusted the "cylinder end shake". I was...

    Just got my new 92FS and took it to the range

    Hello friends! I had 92FS I picked up used years ago and despite really enjoying the gun I wound up trading it off. The thinking at the time was that I could always get another one later. Well, that day finally came and I picked up a brand new 92FS! I selected a regular Italian 92FS with the...

    Ruger Redhawk in .44 Magnum

    Hello friends, Has anyone got any opinions on the Redhawk in .44 Magnum? I've got a .44 SBH and I adore it so much that lately I've been thinking I ought to get a DA option in this caliber. I've got a line on a decent price for the Redhawk and I'm intrigued by its novel action, but I've never...

    Back to the Fluter: Industrial Process Engraving

    Hello friends, I'm curious how we all feel about industrial engraving versus personal, hand engraving on our fine revolvers. If the quality of engraving performed by industrial process ever becomes so perfect as to flawlessly replicate or even exceed hand engraving in visual quality, would you...

    Which is best? .454 Casull / .460S&W / .480RUG

    Hello friends, "Which caliber is best" is obviously an oversimplification, however I just want to take the temperature of each caliber with the poll question. What I really want is to hear about the strengths and weaknesses of each caliber from big bore aficionados of TFL and have a debate...

    would you risk your life for someone else's property?

    Hello friends, I'm housesitting for several weeks and a thought occurred to me... I know I'm here, but does anyone else? A casual acquaintence or walk-about prowler whom expected an empty house might be surprised to see me. An added wrinkle are two luxury cars in the front drive- let's face it...

    Do you think the color of your carry gun matters?

    Do you think the color of your carry gun matters? If a potential shooting scenario was 100% justified I'm sure we would all prefer if that wasn't the case, but let's imagine the decision to use lethal force wasn't on it's face "100% clean". Charges are filed and now you're in court. Do you...

    New to reloading .44 magnum

    Hello folks, I'm looking to getting into reloading .44 magnum. I'm a young man without a ton of financial means and I'm hoping $1,000 or less can get me started. I do not intend to produce mass scale ammunition but I'd like to shoot about a thousand rounds a month or so, maybe 10,000 rounds a...
