I have been handloading for going on four years now, but have always bought powder and primers locally. A friend (whom I got into reloading a bit over a year ago) decided to give it a try. Each of us got 5k Winchester LP primers, he bought a 4-lb jug of 231, and I bought a one-pound bottle of...

I have a co-worker who has one. He is interested in selling and getting a CHL-worthy 9mm. I did a search for prices, and there are not many for sale. The prices are all over the map, from $699 to $1700. What is a fair price for one of these? I believe he is the original owner, and has not put...

As soon as I walked in, I saw the sign for Jack's reloading equipment. He is a great guy to deal with, always has a bunch of used/estate sale stuff at reasonable prices, and we have done business before. I headed for his table. He had a Dillon RL450 with a tag on it...one caliber conversion...

I recently inherited a Hornady Pro 7 press. It is missing the primer tube assembly and the powder feeder, although I think I can adapt another powder feeder. I would also be interested in shell plates for some of the common handgun calibers. This press has been discontinued for some time, and...

I did a search here and on the ATF site, and found very little. Perhaps someone here can answer my questions. 1. How much is an 03 FFL? 2. How frequently is it renewed? 3. Are there any special requirements (I read that for an 01, you need to be zoned for commercial activity, but I cannot...

I am a newcomer to point shooting. My understanding is (and please correct me if I'm wrong; this is how I have been practicing of late)... Target at 15 feet. Pistol at low ready, finger off trigger. Eyes on the ground about 5 feet in front of me. One, two, three...raise eyes and pistol...

Nearly all of my reloading (a bit over a year and a bit over 2000 rounds) has been .45 acp using W-231. I recently bought a .41 Mag, and I found and tried a load with 231 available, they are a bit light. Next I found a load for 296, bought some 296 and tried to load up some rounds with 296...

Okay, I have settled on W231 for semi-auto reloading--.380, 9mm and .45acp. Now I am going to start reloading for .357 Mag, .41 Mag and .45LC. Can I find one powder that will give good results for all? (I have used 231 for .45LC, but I think there are better choices.)

Okay, please chime in on this. I have found a revolver that I want to buy. The buyer is in FL, and wants to do an FTF. I have a friend who lives near the seller, and friend can legally buy on own firearms. Can I send friend my money, have friend buy (and probably test fire :)) and then have...

Are the dovetailed sights removed/installed only in one direction? That is to say, is the dovetail milled asymmetrically (wider at one side than the other)? Pistol in question is a Kimber; stock rear sight has a set screw which I got loose without buggering it up. :) New sights are Truglo...

I have bought several brands of cast 45acp 200 gr SWCs. I am having an issue with COAL. My manuals quote anything from 1.185 (Speer 13), 1.225 (Hodgdon website) 1.230 (Hornady Third) to 1.250 (Alliant website). Just using the shoulder of the bullet as a guide, 1.225-1.230 "look" right. Using...

Finally got mine yesterday. Took it to the range today and put 50 rounds through it. Yeah, 50 rounds was it: it's not a range gun and is not comfortable to shoot for long periods. Initial impression--it is smoother and obviously better made than the P3AT. It comes from the factory very...

I'll be tuning in to CNN tomorrow night (7 and 9 EST) to see how RP does. Glenn Beck is a good interviewer and will ask the tough questions, then give RP the chance to answer them. If he can excell in this venue, where he gets more opportunity than 60 seconds every 20 minutes (as on the...

Will the stock and forearm from an Express fit a Wingmaster, and vice versa? Thank you.

...until tonight's debate. Being a border governor, I thought that his position on immigration would be a lot more reasoned and practical. Looked like he was trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator. "Well, we cannot break up the family..." Pandering for votes from...

Best place to buy reloading components? Who has the best prices? Powder? Primers? Bullets? (.45 acp for starters) Brass (I've been saving mine for a while so probably have 1000 or so) I'm guessing powder and primers would have a HazMat fee, correct? I'm betting bullets would cost a bit to...

double post--sorry How do I delete???

Hi-- Can I buy a fixed low-profile sight to replace the adjustable one on my Taurus 441? Aftermarket or through Taurus? Brownells or anyone else? Thanks

I am a long-time semi auto guy and a kinda-new-to-revolvers guy. Bought my first (in 20 years anyway), a Smith 66, in December (actually my GF bought it for me for Christmas). Now I'm looking at the Scandium 357 mini's for CCW, but at $600, I'm still evaluating (spell that waffling). Probably...
