I started with CFE powder and then finally went with TiteGroup powder. This is what I ended up with:

The CFE for me was not as good as the titegroup powder I reloaded with this time for my 45. My...

Hi Mr 45.ACP,

The CFE for me was not as good as the titegroup powder I reloaded with this time for my 45. My EDC is the Colt Combat Commander 4.25" barrel. Formula for my Best load today: ...

First chance to hit the range in about 3 weeks. That was a long stretch for me. New battery cap and new formulated reloads and what a difference. the DOT held... shot at the 25 yd lane. I wanted...

I knew there was an issue of the battery losing connection on some of the venoms and it did act up on me after the cap blew off. I was able to correct it each time with no issues, but I wanted it...

Hi Rob,
I started asking questions and got a few answers in the Holsters, Accessories EDC topics and maybe it will help answer questions, maybe not: ...

Last week I sighted in the gun on the 15 yd lane. No issues with sighting and repeatable shots.

Today, went to 25yd lane. I didn't have to adjust the sights. Used bench rest to verify sights...

Hi again Steve,
I forgot to ask: What is your EDC that you will be putting the Dot on? It's possible that there are people in this pistol forum that will tell you not to go with a Red Dot. ...

Hi Steve,
you can't go wrong with the Trijicon RMR. Like UberVic, I have opted for the Vortex Venom but mine is the 6MOA instead of the 3 MOA and I am very satisfied. My holster is a Crossbreed...

After locktite my venom does not come loose and also maintains accuracy. With the crossbreed it is comfortable and doesn't hit anything when I move. Unless I drop my weapon or go full Rambo, I...

Hi UberVic,

Had it for about 2 weeks now. I love the Venom. Armorer failed to locktite it in so I had to make a second trip to the range to sight it in. Locked it in off of my bench rest at...

Hi DeputyG23,
Sorry to hear about the cats in the eye. I don't have them yet but my vision has degraded my in my old age. That's why I am in the process switching to red dots. Just had them...

Hi Deputy again, I hate to see someone give up on reloads. They are so much fun for real. I do them in a nice quiet place with no distractions like my garage. My wife doesn't bother me there and...

Ouch DeputyG23,

Did that really happen to you? If so I am so sorry that happened. Not a fun day, but it could have been a double charge instead... That's why I shine a light into each case...

Hi Willie,
Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I know about less depth of my original rounds would probably negate my powder overcharge, but I really didn't want my over all length to be over saami...

Because of this topic I'm no longer in trouble with my wife. I was using a vibrator... pun intended... My wife could not stand the noise and neither did my cat. I could get my brass clean with it...

Hi Okie John,
Yes they are longer. I will be resetting the die for a COL of about 1.25 on the FMJ on my reload of that brass. The goof on the size was because I was stupid and did not change the...

This almost sounds like the start of a redneck joke: You know you are a redneck when... Well bubba this is my bubba moment. Feel free to add your bubba moments since we can all learn from our own...

Hi UberVic,

I received my Venom today. I purchased the 6 MOA. I now have an email into my armorer to let me know when he can fit me in to swap out my rear for my venom.

To note: The...

Yes! Dropping your weapon is a bitch, isn't it. Sorry to hear that happened, but glad that Vortex honored the warranty.

Jim

Hi UberVic,
I have decided. Venom it is! My local gun shop will sell it for internet price. I will buy it first and take it to my eye appointment. I noticed a slight ray burst on the right...

Hi UberVic,

I agree totally. The few times I have presented a weapon with a red dot attached took a short time before it was presented perfectly. The reflex sight is not very forgiving if you...

It's ok. I can bark with the best of them. Anyway I have always loved guns and shooting. Not trying to brag (well just a little). When I was about 13, I was hitting the range about every 2 weeks...

Hi S0nSpark,
Thanks, that had a better tone to my eyes. I appreciate that. I totally understand the need to practice. I do practice as much as I can. Several hundred rounds per event, and I...

Hi DocGKR,
Thanks for that update and info. I really do want the Trijicon RMR but I don't have enough saved up. Also I wasn't having luck getting a mounting plate for my NOVAK sight on my Colt...

Hi S0nspark,

Why would you ask if I am ready for a Reflex red dot? You don't know me. I don't know you. I appreciate you at least letting me know that you have used one, which is much more...
