I load for both 9mm and .45 ACP, I use coated lead in the .45's and jacketed in the 9mm, but I'm loading full or nearly full power loads to be similar to my carry/SD ammo. Nothing particularly...

That explains my lack of awareness of the issue, with the exception of Varget, all the powders I've used to date have been ball. I remember using Hercules 2400 a lot back in the '70's, but let's...
Dumb question, maybe, but does your friend know that there are 2 different drum sizes for the LNL powder measure? Reason it comes to mind, I was just struggling with some very inconsistent pistol...
My FA consistently throws .1 gr. light on loads under about 30 gr., with a variety of powders, but it IS totally consistent. Since most of my loading has been handguns and .223, I just add .1 gr. to...
Put my Mini 14 back in its wood stock? Only have one handgun that holds more than 10 rounds, and when I carry, I always carry a spare mag anyway. In the meantime, why sweat what hasn't happened...
Just had a similar experience. I'd purchased 10 Energizers from Amazon, as well as a 4 pack from a local retailer. Only use these in 2 devices, a Holosun 403C RDS and a small motion sensor light...
Just out of curiosity, how does it compare to H335? That's been my go to for the 55 FMJ's since I started playing around with the .223/5.56. Thanks.

Had a P-07 and my PCR for awhile, I prefer the PCR so the P-07 went to a new home. Between the PCR and the Sig, I feel well covered in the carry department, the 97 BD is a great range gun, but the...
Don't know about smaller revolvers, the only one I currently own is an N-frame S&W 625-6. But I find shooting a revolver well is a LOT more work than shooting a pistol, and the mechanics are enough...
Don't feel bad, I just saw this post, thought it sounded interesting, and it wasn't until I opened it that I realized it was mine from 2 years ago ;). Lots of good responses, and it looks like it...
DUH! Obvious answer to the question, but one that I totally missed. So yes, if this revolver was measured the same way they measure pistol barrels, it would be just over 6.5", a good 1.5" longer...
So I currently have 3 different .45 ACP handguns, a Sig P220R, a CZ 97 BD, and a S&W 625-6. Both the CZ and the Smith have 5" barrels, the Sig has a 4.4" barrel. Spent all day at the range, put...
I added a 625-6 "Model of 1989" .45 ACP to my collection last April, and frankly, I'm starting to second guess myself. Don't get me wrong, it's an outstanding revolver, but I'm just far more...
Thanks, guys, I think you've successfully disabused me of at least some of my silly notions :o. I'll continue with quality factory ammo for SD, and continue having fun my with reloads. Now if I...
So I've recently been on a quest for some less expensive "do it all" bullets for the various cartridges I reload for, 9mm, .45 ACP, and .223/5.56. I do carry either a 9mm or a .45, and the .223 is a...
Might consider posting what area you're in, might be a forum member nearby that is also a CZ owner/shooter. Might also do the same over on the CZ forum, most of us are always on the lookout for a...
Well, I guess no one has had this issue :rolleyes:. But just in case someone does, I think I figured out a fix. The jaws for the universal shell holder are stamped steel, of course, and thus, are...
So I'm trying to trim a bunch of .223/5.56 brass, only the most common, popular cartridge in the entire country, and this damn thing won't hold onto the case rims :mad:! Called RCBS already, they...
It's an easy adjustment, so not really a big deal. But since I hadn't made any changes (that I remember) since my initial run of .45 ACP, it caught me off guard. I had to play around with the...
So has anyone else found changing cartridges a bit of a PITA? I originally set mine up with .45 ACP, worked great, then reset it for a bunch of 9mm. Went back to .45 ACP, had some issues that took...
I just read through this entire thread, and couldn't believe no one suggested a hot glue gun, I've used one in the past to glue paint balls to a sheep of card stock, they make great reactive targets...
Thanks! The price was a little shocking at first, but then I saw they have a smaller version that's more in line with my needs, and is priced similar to the other units I was looking at. Looks to...
Yeah, I'm currently using the colander style, like I said, it works great with pistol brass, rifle brass, not so much :rolleyes:. I looked at the RCBS, among others, the reviews weren't all that...
I use the walnut with some mineral spirits and Flitz for initial cleaning, then after sizing, trimming, etc., they go in the corn cob to clean off any residual case lube. I use One Shot, so...
So I'm still using a vibratory tumbler, 2 actually, one walnut, one for corn cob. I'm never in a rush, so this works fine for me. I have one of the FA plastic strainers that sits on a 5 gal....
