Hello to all, I have been gifted some magnum small rifle primers, CCI 450. I no longer load for rifles. Can I use them in a magnum pistol cartridge. Do they have a longer duration of ignition that would spit sparks out? Thanks

Hello to all, I’m looking to substitute GM 100 primers for the more familiar No 100. I need something that is easily dented by a revolver with a weak spring. I’m looking for suggestions such as the Federal GM 100 or anything else. Thanks

Cylinder will not budge, took off face plate, bolt moves freely. Problem appears to be inside the cylinder. How do I get at this? I’ve added oil and wiggled and wiggled and wiggled. Your thoughts pls

I just received a new set of stippled walnut Nill grips. They are light blonde. While very nice for a stainless gun, I want to use these with an old blued gun. They need to be darker, much darker. I need to understand how to remove the oil and what type of stain I should use. I would...

Loading 9 mm for a Glock 43x what could be easier? I purchased a large number of 124g RMR JHPs A while back and have shot my way through 2000 Or so and determined that a COL of 1.08 inches worked well with 4.9 g of WSF. Shot reliably using several guns but not with my friends Glock 43x. A COL...

I have a question for the Colt aficionados. When were these guns produced and what is the opinion on quality and colectablity? Thanks SD

Does anyone know where I can find a grip pin? I purchased a python with aftermarket rubber grips on it. It is without the pin that goes through the frame (near the lower rear) and stabilizes the grips from wiggling. Thanks for the ideas

Does anyone have anyone have any experience with WSF in 38spl using 125gr plated lead (Rainier)? Thanks for any data you can provide.

Hello I have a very high mileage S&W 41 that has grown erratic. Shoots fine for awhile then will hardly touch the rim. Local gunsmith reamed the chamber and it ran fine for about 400 rounds and then went back to erratic hits. I don't believe the ammo is an issue because I purchase bulk...

I'm interested in modifying a .45ACP 5" gov model to shoot light target loads. According to the manufacturer the gun has a 16.5 pound spring & standard length guide rod. I've replaced the firing-pin-stop with a nearly square edged one (and been really impressed with the reduced 'felt' recoil)...

I'm trying to figure out what this gun is worth in good condition. I shot about 5,000 rounds through it, some surface rust on the barrel and no external scratches. The action is smooth with tight lockup. The gun shoots well. Can I humbly request a fair price that you would sell to a friend...

I've been loading 45 cal with 4.1gr of Bullseye and a Rainier 200gr electroplated SWC. I'm looking for an equivalent load with Clays, my goal is to find something cleaner. My first approx is 3.6gr. Will quickload provide this? Or better yet I'd bet someone here has experience with this. Thanks

I'm curious about how the final crimp affects recoil & accuracy of a semi-auto for a given powder charge and bullet weight. I've been using 4..0gr of Bullseye and 200gr Rainier JSWC. My first notion is that more crimp will contain combustion longer to build more pressure to initially launch...

I'd expected to get cleaner holes than I do. I'm loading Rainier 200g plated SWC with several different amounts of Bullseye, 4.0, 4.2, and 4.4. The length was constant 1.25". I could increase this roughly 0.10 to 0.15" and still chamber ok. Might be a gun issue but the same gun with 185g...

I'm looking for ideas for a shell catcher. I'm losing too much brass. I figure someone here has already solver this problem. I shoot primarily at a large indoor range. This has booths with partitions and a table. I'm thinking of clamping a pair of pvc pipes, one to the partition and one...

I'm looking for suggestions for an accurate, low recoil, clean practice load. Something with just enough power to cycle the action and easy on the old hand. I'm willing to swap out the main spring etc. Thanks for your suggestions

The gun has coughed up its' slide stop. It broke in two as I was reassembling post cleaning. I've shot this gun for 40 years now and I've been very casual about cleaning it. With ammo prices up I've been shooting more 22 so I've taken to cleaning it more because it runs better clean. A...

The title says it all, I guess. Currently RIA is listing some interesting guns, but how fair are they? I'm unable to attend so I would need to accept on faith the description. Additionally, I wounder does the bidding run fairly or do they push the price up to meet the phone/internet orders...

Q: What does the Chicago dept issue/permit currently? Thanks for the service & info
