I'd like to experiment with the little 115gr Lyman bullet in my Garand. It works great in my CZ x39, and if I can find a decent case filling powder for 30-06 it would be a good 'economy' round when I don't want to dump 47 grains of 4895 every time I fire. I have an adjustable gas plug so I can...

Hey guys, I used to shoot IDPA-style a while back and wanted to get back into it again with my new Shadow 2. I bought a Blade Tech OWB but the thing flops around like a fish, even with a good belt. The Black Scorpion holster system looks like it would solve the issues, but wanted to get some...

Delete, wrong section.

I've cast and sized many thousands of bullets the past few years. I just got a new 9mm mold, drops at .358. I have 355 and 357 sizing dies. It occurred to me that if I use the 357 die on the bullets first, then post size the PC at 357 again the coating might get too thinned out. Is it better...

I've put thousands of the Lee LRN powder coated through my P01 with very little issue, sizing with the Lee 358 die. Now that I have a CGW Shadow 2, it flat doesn't like them. At least twice a mag I get one that sounds weird and it goes in sideways. Sounds like a 'thwack' instead of the usual...

I may be looking to get a target 9mm here soon, something that will reliably hit a 2.5' steel target at 100 yards if I do my part. So far the CZ TS Orange looks to check (Czech?) the boxes with long sight radius, SA trigger, accurized barrel/bushing. I'm not too keen on the 'race gun' purpose...

I have three local sources of primers here in Louisville, all three haven't seen a single delivery in two months. Is there a sudden run on military manufacturing or something? There is plenty of $$$ ammo but it's not exactly flying off the shelves. I also haven't seen a box of CCI in a long...

For years I've been using WW tested at about 15bhn and powder coated with good accuracy in all calibers up to 1700fps. Unfortunately WW are getting scarce so I bought 100# of range scrap and cast up some 9mm. Big mistake. I couldn't hit a steel target at 25 yards, we're talking feet of...

I have a used Lyman 600 with the small bowl. Will the bigger bowl from the 1200 fit it? Looking for more capacity.

I may be looking at a 'target' style 9mm. So far the Cajun Gun Works accurized Shadow 2, a TS 2 or a Sig p210 'Standard' model. Any thoughts on these and any other suggestions would be appreciated.

The slide broke on my gun, it is not made anymore and cannot be replaced. I'll talk with a gunsmith soon but I don't see how welding it would be a good idea for safety concerns. Should I take the parts off and have it destroyed?

Here is a pic of the last round jam I've been having trouble with. image hosting It's as if the case is trying to reinsert itself backward in the mag somehow. All the others eject fine.

I've had my custom CZ 97b for a while now, has the 1911 bushing conversion. Yesterday I was shooting my usual mild reloads when it suddenly started grouping 5" left at 10 yards. At first I thought possible flinching but my P01 was dead on. Last night I scrubbed the heck out of the barrel with...

My firing pin broke today, snapped off the tip. One year old gun, nothing overpowered and zero dry firing. I've read accounts of this happening more than it should, is there an aftermarket that is stronger?

I have a year old Citadel and every few mags the last round gets jammed and crimps the case mouth like a taco. It doesn't matter the mag, bullet grain or load. I'd post a pic but not sure what sites all the cool kids are using these days.

I've had it with Lee, just bought a second one to replace my old one and frankly it won't work with H110 at all, just leaks like crazy and binds up bad. I'm looking for something reasonably priced but works with flake and ball powders better.

I tried using a powdercoated 225gr 45acp Lyman LRN over 4.8gr of Titegroup in my CZ and it basically smeared down the barrel really bad, and I saw some sort of debris flying out the ejection port. I have zero issues with my SWC 200gr powdercoated using Clays so this was a real shock. The...

I have a Henry 357/38 and currently has the stock buckhorn rear and fiber front. I'd like to get something more 'precise' but the POI changes between the two cartridges at longer ranges so I think peeps are out. Suggestions?

Henry brass 357 tube fed or Rossi 16”? Buying one in a couple hours.

I’ve had my Henry 22 for a long time and decided to get a lever in 357 or possibly 45C. Iron sights are ok but I do have a red dot that would make shooting a lot more fun, but it looks like some models top eject which I’m assuming wouldn’t work with a rail. Also I’d like to have a 20” for more...
