    Re: want to start reloading I am not sure about your shooting buddies, but if one of them reloads for the same caliber that you want to reload, then spend some time with him and ask to observe him making his ammo. Real time reloading will speed up the learning curve. I agree with most of...

    Re: Do match primers really make a difference? I was told by Federal that the Match primers are the first run off of the primer making machines and the tolerances are more consistent. After what they call the first run, the balance are sold as regular primers. This info comes directly from...

    Am I the only one who reloads .40?

    Re: Am I the only one who reloads .40? I shoot USPSA and reload about 15K of 40sw each year. I am pretty much a brass whore and pick up every piece that is left on the ground..... Maybe others do the same thing. Jerry

I am in the market for a nice left handed stock with an adjustable cheek piece. I prefer not to use wood, color does not...

    Powder for 45ACP

    Re: Powder for 45ACP With a heavy bullet like the 230 grain, I would recommend a faster burning powder to lessen the perceived felt recoil. I have used VV N320 which is very clean burning but costly. I also use regular Clays as it is about 1/2 the price of N-320, but a little dirtier. Both...

    GunShow PRICE GOUGERS

    Re: GunShow PRICE GOUGERS When I lived in Kali, the gun shows sucked big time. More jewelery, beanie babies, air soft crap than gun related items. At the Cow Palace, one of their larger shows, it was about $15 for parking and entrance fee. Then I moved to Texas. The gun shows out here have...

    Suppressors 1911 gurus needed

    Re: 1911 gurus needed Check right above the slide lock on the left hand side. This is where they crack alot. It will look like a little line about the thickness of a hair. The nickle plated model 70's are worth a little more, but not that much more. Jerry

    Vihtavuori Powder

    Re: Vihtavuori Powder I use N105 in my Dawson Signature open guns. It is the best powder for using a long comp. It burns slow and finishes in the comp, instaed of the barrel. I use N320 for 9mm, 40 and 45. Cost per bullet is negasted when you spend $$$ on good equipment. Once you get hooked...
