My wife got me a Cabelas Gift certificate for 100 dollars for Christmas. I'm thinking of getting a ProChrono Digital Plus. It seemed to get decent reviews on the Cabelas and Midway sites. Is it a good basic unit for working up loads for my handguns and even my 300 win mag? It says it's...

I have a newish Ruger Mark III Hunter that has about 3k rounds through it. For the last 2k rounds or so the gun doesn't lock back most times. I have three different magazines that all do the same thing. I've tested about five types of ammo through it with the same results. Two of the bulk...

I shoot a lot of 200 gr swc bullets through my 1911. From 200-350 each trip to the range. Do any of you all shoot the 185 or 155 gr so called "target loads" through your 45? The prices seem considerably lower from some lead casters. Why not shoot them punching paper? Thanks for your opinions

I have a new Ruger Mark III that I purchased a few months ago. I've shot about 3-4k rounds through it. I'm not sure I'm liking the v-notch site in the rear. While I shoot it fairly well, it just seems odd to me. :( My other guns are all the more traditional rear sites. (A 1911, Kahr...

I just ordered 2000 .45 cal 230gr RN Berry's Preferred Plated Bullets for my 1911. (Wilson CQB 5") Does anyone have some load data for these bullets and powders? OAL as well? I have a lot of w231 on hand and some Vihtavuori N310. I have loads I use for 200 gr swc bullets, but not for the...

I just ordered 3k 9mm 115g rn bullets from Berry's. I have a lot of w231 on hand. Anyone have a load for that bullet including powder charge and OAL? I plan to shoot them (plinking) mostly in my Kahr k9 and sometimes in a Berreta 92fs. Thanks in advance. AkGunner

I own a dillon 650 and a redding t7 turret press. When I use my turret press for smaller batches of ammo sometimes I don't care if the powder is off .1 gr or not. For example I like to practice with my snubby and I'm not too concerned about weighing each load on my scale like I would do for my...

I have a Wilson CQB that I used quite a bit at the range. 200-300 rounds per range visit. The CQB has fixed sights for those that might not know. The gun shoots constantly low at 50 yards, even when shot off a rest. (6-10 inches high) I often bring 5-10 clay birds to break on the 50 yard...

I have... I mean my friend has an old 22 caliber revolver. You see his problem is that he took the guts out of the revolver to clean it and he can't get it back together. It's in a bunch of pieces on my bench... I mean HIS bench. Does anyone know where I could find a schematic to get this...

I have been using a lee hand priming tool to seat pimers in my 38 sp. I've also had trouble using the primer on my redding turret press and my dillon 650. The primers don't seat all the way in or they get mashed in the primer pocket. This has only happened in 38 special. I've loaded over 10...

Who's shot both? I seem to be getting some contradicting info on the differences between the triggers on the regular k9 versus the k9 elite. I haven't been able to actually old an k9 elite here in town. Is the trigger pull greatly different? Thanks in advance.

Anyone else notice this? Some people immediately give up on a certain gun because of the recoil they feel. In my limited experience, I have notice that I get used to shooting certain guns after pracicing with them a fair amount. At first my snubby s&w 642 seemed to be a handleful, but after...

Can anyone recommend a good source for S&W 500 cast bullets? Cost is an issue. I intend to use them for practice. I'll carry factory ammo for when I bring my gun into the back country. I also posted this same question on the High Road Thanks in advance.

Yes, another "which gun??" thread, sorry. :rolleyes: I'm thinking of getting Kahr for concealed carry. I already own a revolver s&w 642 that I really like for pocket carry. Here's why I'm considering a Kahr. I want something small, lighter, and THIN. I have smaller sized hands...

I was looking at some smaller semi-autos for concealed carry and was told by a gun store employee that Kahrs can't shouldn't be shot with lead bullets. I pretty much only shoot lead in my 1911 45 acp, s&w 500, and my s&w 642 38 special. What other semi-autos are recommended to not be shot...

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask this, but here goes. I have a almost new S&W 500 that is misfiring on my reloads. I have about 80 rounds through the gun. If I hit the primer again a time or two they end up going off. I've had others check my reloads and they said the primers look...

I'm sure it's because I'm much more aware now, but I just saw some crazy, unsafe gun handling on an old movie last night. While switching channels I stopped on a scene with two men holding guns after having just finished checking around outside for some bad guys. Over the course of about...

I just checked with Cabelas on the cost of their "Oregon Trail Laser-Cast Bullets - (Per 1000)". I used the 200 gr swc bullets. The cost went from 52 dollars per 1000 just before the new year to 92 dollars per thousand. OUCH!!! :( :eek: Does anyone know if there are better deals out there...

I loaded up some 425 gr bullets with 20 gr of blue dot. Trouble is one of the bullets slipped forward upon recoil. The bullets have a crimping groove. The bullets are from t-rex thumpers out of Homer, Alaska. I'm new to loading for the 500. How do I know how much crimp to in the groove...

Hello, I have a bench that is about two inches of maple and then 2-3 inches of steel frame before the table starts to overhang. Because of this fact I purchased the Dillon "strong mount" to put my dillon 650 on the table. It allows the machine to attach to the table and not be block by it...
