Just to start with I own and shoot 30carb rifles but this thread is PISTOL ONLY. Ok folks I have been looking for weeks for a load for a Ruger 30 carbine pistol. All kinds of info on rifle loads. For years I have shot rifle loads in this Ruger but no one wants to stand near me when I’m shooting...

Does anyone save and reload these? I just tossed 6 lbs of these in the brass recycle barrel. No one I know reloads them. I'm asking because I believe in Karma. If there is enough interest I may start saving these and make a great deal on them to someone.:)

Had a bad day at the press and a head scratcher to say the least. I reload range brass for range ammo. This is paper punching ammo out to 100 yds so I don't sort by head stamp and load mid range powder charges. I get good accuracy and a economical round. Well I was punching primers out and...

My last post was for suggestions on what type of AR to build next. Good thread and told me basically what I already knew but got me think outside the box a little. I am thinking of building a side charging 5.56 with a 14.5 inch barrel with a pinned and welded linear muzzle brake which will put...

I have no idea why I bought 2 AR stripped lowers. I have 2 AR’s now. One was purpose built for distance with a YH stainless. fluted 20in bull barrel with optics to match, rifle gas system cambered in 5.56. Another in a 16in configuration with a reflex optic and a carbine gas system. Both use...

I just can’t seem to hold on too 9mm pistols. I sold my S&W 908 to a buddies wife that just had to have it. Bought me a M57a that was a great range gun and CCW pretty well. Now I just sold that to a buddy that feel in love with it. So back to looking for another 9mm. I am working on a $500.00...

In all the years I have been reloading 357mag I used 2400 and 4227for mag loads. 4227 always gave me the best performance but the 2400 ran a very close second. Now with today prices and the fact I always have a 8lb jug of Unique powder on hand I’m thinking of loading some 357mag using Unique...

Retiring old friends after 30 years.:eek: Yep, I’m retiring my 357 brass after 30 plus years of shooting it. I remember the day at the gun show I bought 5000 rounds of brand new 357 brass back some time in early 1985. I was set for a lifetime of shooting my 357 revolvers as far as brass was...

When I 1st started reloading was back when powder was $5.00 a lb My 1st loading bench was a 3x5x3/4 inch plywood nailed to the wall with a couple of legs; a peg board nailed to the wall with a shelf over the peg board. A few coffee cans of brass and a tray all my primes would fit into and a...

A few years back I built a long range AR using a Yankee Hill 20in Fluted stainless bull barrel with a smooth free float fore guard. The gas block in under the fore guard so there is no rail to mount a bi pod too. Being a bull barrel I can’t find a clamp on style bi pod to fit the barrel and...

After many years of loading on a old dated Hornaday Projector progressive I traded it for a Lock n Load about a year ago. I have not loaded much on it since I got it as supplies where low and loaded ammo count was high. I loaded 500 9mm and 500 45 acp up till now. That was enough to tune the...

Anyone own one of these. Pros - Cons I need to replace an old worn out Marlin 22LR. I seldom shoot 22LR any more but my grandson has reached that age I need to get him started shooting and really don't want to invest to much is a 22 LR.

I bought a beautiful 92s a while back. It looks and shoots like a brad new gun. The problem is I’m at that age where the military sights are just to small and low for me. I have highlighted them with orange and white to make them more visible and it helps but still not enough to make the gun a...

In all my years shooting I have never see or heard of a 1911 style pistol guide rod breaking. Yesterday at the range the guide rod on my Para P14 broke and rattled out the front of the bushing.:eek::( It broke right where the barrel follower is welded on. I’m just curious if anyone has ever...

SOG had these advertised for $295.00. These are military police returns. I received mine the other day and it may be a return but it is in NEW condition. Can't wait for a trip to the range.

I am not a shotgun person at all. On occasion I do go shoot skeet and trap but not all that often. Just like other firearms, people have the favorite makes and models. I’m looking for a decent auto loading shotgun. Here are my questions. #1 Shooting trap and skeet what would be the preferred...

What made me think of this was the tread on Follow Up Shots. 99% of my deer hunting was with a 44mag at pretty close range. Never had to make a follow up shot and if so it was just a trigger pull away. I was camp cook on a lease and during bow season one of the guys hit a 10 point white tail...

Here is the story; I don't own and never owned a shotgun. Never had a need and only shoot clays every now and then. Although I do enjoy shooting clays just hated borrowing a gun. Anyway last week a friend of mine asked if I owned a shotgun knowing I did not. I said no and he hands me a like new...

I have a Hornaday Pro-Jector progressive press that has served me well for many decades now but in the last couple years I have an on going issue with indexing. Even after sending it back to them to rebuild the issue always comes back. I load a LOT of ammo so this press see’s lots of use and...

For years I was a big bore magnum fan and pushed 44mag loads to the very max limits of the gun and cartage; to the point of blowing up 2 S&W 29’s and wearing the forcing cone out on a Ruger SBH. I could shoot with either hand and hold a 3 inch group at 25 yards in DA mode. Over the past 5 or 6...
