Started experiencing some difficulty with the slide stop on my Smith and Wesson 908 over the last month and am not sure where to begin troubleshooting. It's engaging fine and locking the slide on the last shot, but for some reason it's started sticking intermittently where it won't release when...

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed lately that the combination of Lee dies and Berry's bullets seem to be a recipe for bullet setback? There are several active threads right now where people are seeing this, it's been mentioned here more and more as of late, and in just the last year I've...

Just wanted to give a quick word of thanks for all the exceptional info in this forum. I've been handloading for quite a while now, but just finally decided to take the plunge into casting in the last year. So for the past 8 months I've been accumulating wheel weights from a few friends at...

Anyone else having problems with this as of late? I've been a long-time Berry's user since my indoor range requires jacketed rounds, and have never had any problems in four different pistol calibers. But recently I've had some setback problems in autoloaders that I traced partially to...

Title says it all, been having some serious problems with setback in my 45 ACP. I'm using an absolute minimal amount of case flare, and have even tried a replacement expander plug to verify it wasn't a flare issue. Have measured all my bullets at .451", and even tried switching to a few...

I thought I'd start a thread and see what suggestions you might have as I prepare to replace the barrel on my 686. The original barrel needs to be replaced as it has been rung with a squib load. :mad: It's a no-dash, 4" 686 that I've been shooting as my primary target pistol for years, and I now...

Discussion about the use of the Lee Auto-Disk in a different thread got me thinking about my own reloading practices, and I was curious if I'm the only one who takes the time to figure out the VMD of specific lots of powder as I use them? What I do basically is set up my Auto Disk with the...

I was given two boxes of Hornady 60 SP that I decided to load up w/ H335. After checking Speer #13, Lee, and Hodgdon data I loaded up test loads from 22.5-24 in half grain increments at 2.20" OAL. Then last night I'm wandering around in Cabelas and happened to pick up a Hornady manual (which I...

There's a pretty collection of pages at ar15.com on how to build your own 3-point tactical sling. I tweaked this a little to work with my rifles, but I've been able to build a few of these for about $7 a piece. That's not bad considering that they retail for $40-50. Check it out at...

So I'm appealing to those with greater wisdom than I to help solve a problem I'm having. I am newer to reloading, and just started reloading for 38 sp in the last few months. The problem I'm having is that the loads I've been turning out are probably the most inaccurate rounds I've ever seen in...
