Who has experience with Berry's Plated Bullets? I have 500 in 230 gn for my 45 ACP pistol and 45 ACP carbine. I am looking at using AutoComp and TiteGroup for powder. Any load info would be appreciated.

Who besides Blazer and Fiocchi who else uses small pistol primers in their 45 ACP ammo? I seem to have about a 5% ratio of small pistol primer mixed in with some used mixed brass I bought. I thought the press was messing up till I figured out the problem. The only two brands I have found using...

I ran into this statement in an article and am looking for opinions from the more knowledgeable members of this forum. Never tumble live ammunition to make the cases brighter. Never fire any ammunition you suspect as having been tumbled to be cleaned. Tumbling can potentially pulverize the...

I am confused. I received my new adjustable charge bar for my Lee Powder Measure and installed it per the instructions. I could not for the life of me get the charge bar to throw a charge. Now I have been having the fixed charge bar throw charges that were not what the charts said would be the...

After using #24 walnut shells on 45 ACP cases for about 5 hours I get a nice clean shiny case. What about the "dust" in the interior of the case? Do I need to remove it prior to loading primer, powder and bullet? Will it affect safety or performance? I have been out of reloading for a long time...

I have gotten back into reloading for 45 ACP. I have Berry's RN FMJ in 230 gn, Precisions coated LSWC in 200 gn, CCI primers, and Hodgdon Titegroup powder. I am looking for anyone that is loading this combination of bullets and powder for a 45 ACP. Also if you are using these bullets but a...

First let me state this. I have over the years gotten or seen more good advice from the members of this forum than I thought possible. Some of the technical discussions I have read were way over my head, even if I am a bit of a techno myself, I have still read them for the pleasure of reading...

I did not check so I don't know if this is floating around or not. Three unmarked springs in a box for a 1911. How do you figure out what the strength(?) of a spring is. Also how do you "mark" a spring. You read about 17 lb and 19 lb value springs and how they affect the action of the weapon...

I would like a 22 WMR semi-auto rifle. Suggestions requested. I would like to be able to get a higher capacity clip for it other than the factory 7 or 8 round clip that is standard. Marlin 10/22 WMRs are no longer made nor supported by Marlin. I would buy one if one could be found that the...

Yes, Yes, I know Kel-Tec? But I have been looking for a 22 WMR semi-auto for quite a while, and this looks like it fills the bill. The few previews I have seen look promising. Has anyone gotten their hands on one yet? And if you have what is your opinion of it?

Large Pistol primers and Magnum Large Pistol primers can both be used in 45ACP reloading. Is it safe to use the Magnum with the 45 ACP and what adjustments need to be made to powder type and quantity to do so? Also 15 year old primers, are they safe to use? Stored in dry place with lot of temp...

I am looking at buying a semi-automatic rifle. Now come the decisions. I have decided on the 7.62 X 39 mm round. The 7.62x39 fits the bill and is cheap and easy to get. But my big problem is I have no experience with any of the Soviet Blok produced weapons. So I am going to ask for input about...

Has anyone seen or bought this book? http://theworks1022.com It is an electronic book you down load. Just wondering if anyone had bought it and if it was worth the money.

I know that Ruger stopped making these several years ago. I have been researching building one for my self. The problem seems to be the number of companies that are building receivers for this configuration. You can find a number of companies that are making receivers in the 22lr configuration...

I goofed!! I laid a Polished Stainless Steel 1911 slide down on a paper grocery bag and got super fine scratches on the flats of the slide, both sides yet. What is the best way to get the original finish back without sending it back to the Colt factory. Yes I know stupid, I could not find my...

I have seen the information somewhere before, but I cannot remember the exact figures. Question if you have a pistol, say a 1911 auto, with the standard sights, how much are you off in your sight picture if you are 6 inches off at fifty feet? To restate the question, if you are off 1/1000 of an...

Everyone interested in the last half of LawDogs' snake story say "Snake". I need a good laugh.:D

I read an article a number of years ago about hunting feral dogs in the SE part of the states. Has anyone here ever done that. I sounded like a heck of a hunt. The author said once the action started in got nasty fast as the dogs had no fear of man and would come straight at you as a group.

Does anyone have any experience with this pistol. I know that some of Taurus's newer guns have been judged by some of you as not too bad. How about this 8-shot in SS and 4inch barrel? I am looking at recommending something for my non-shooting younger sister, to keep next to the bed and pack...

I got to quit coming in here and browsing. My blood pressure goes thru the roof every time I do. Well folks it will all be over one way or another on Tuesday. Here is hoping it goes our way if it doesn't we may find out whether some of the "what would you do scenerios" will get solved.
