There is a current thread "Removing old lube" and the consensus is that boiling is the easiest way. May have to use detergent and boil twice if using PC.

Here is IMR's guide for using Trail Boss powder in reduced loads. They specifically state that 100% fill with no compression will be safe in ANY cartridge.

Your test seems much like Dan Newberry's Optimal Charge Weight (OCW) method. If you are not already familiar, perhaps reading his explanation will be useful.

I have loaded several bullets in the .458 SOCOM, all jacketed. I have not tried the Barnes TTSX. My favorite so far is the Hornady 325 grain FTX bullet. I had zero issues with the 405 grain...

I'll play!

.357 Sig - Not super common, but most know of it. It is a .40S&W case necked down to 9mm. The recoil is even snappier than a .40S&W. That doesn't mean I don't have a couple though!

Accurate Shooter posted extensive LR primer tests, but I couldn't find nearly as much info for SR primers.

Here's the link for the SR primer info: ...

I've enjoyed reading the comments! For some unknown reason, I was reminded of a video that I think many of you will enjoy too. Like all comedy, the kernel of truth is key! Stay with it until the...

I'm glad to help! Hornady has been very easy to work with if I have any issues with my LnL AP. Some, not all, AP's (mine did) required excessive pressure to seat primers and even then they might...

Glocks do not have a fully supported chamber. If you load hot/fast rounds they can bulge/blow out (in a half moon shape) just forward of the extractor groove on the bottom of the case. This area is...

If you contact Hornady they will ask for your serial number. I have a LnL AP that was old enough to not have the newer "break away" primer slide rod holder. They sent me a replacement to upgrade...

Look at the SB Tactical SBA3 brace and the included mil-spec carbine buffer tube. It is the same buffer tube as would be used on a carbine (or SBR) with a collapsible stock.
...

You must be careful when changing stocks on an AR, but this MAY have changed with the introduction of the SB Tactical SBA3 pistol brace. It uses a mil-spec diameter carbine length buffer (receiver...

She is dipping. Best method I know of takes zero ammunition.

1) Get her in a good stance (isosceles, feet parallel to the target, or nearly so) with the majority of her weight on the balls of...

More heat works wonders, just don't get it glowing! Try to remove the set screw while still hot, but stop turning before you strip it out. Maybe start with kroil and light taps, reapplied for days,...

I have no experience with VV powders, but can confirm that Ramshot Silhouette is a flash suppressed powder. It needs to be run at higher pressures to keep from leaving granules though. Lots of...

Lee Enfields, like most other military rifles of the time, had about a 4 MOA "passing" accuracy standard from the factory. I'm sure that a load can be developed to shrink group sizes, but you might...

Look at Trail Boss powder. It is super fluffy and takes up a lot of space, so it is easier to check for double charges and the like. It has the added bonus of being impossible to over-pressure,...

No personal experience, but perhaps the carrier/solvent was making your PC a bit tacky?

By the looks of it, I'd say that is a 405 grain Remington bullet.

I have and love my .458 SOCOM. I worked up a bunch of loads for my 16" barrel (sorry, all j-word bullets) a few years ago. After...

Phosphoric acid converts rust to a dark spot. I cannot tell you the chemical name, but it is a type of phosphate. I have seen it sold in an aerosol as a "rust converter" and as a liquid as a metal...

You might be able to convert some of the rust via boiling. It would help get some of the grease off too.

I'd be tempted to use a brass brush instead of steel wool for any persistent rust.

An...

My condolences to you and your son's family and loved ones. Part of my job is responding to these situations and their final action rarely makes sense to anyone else. I will not pretend to have any...

Carbide lamps are neat to play with, but be sure all your seals are in good shape before lighting......it's no fun to have flames emitting from the nozzle AND joints!

Have you test fired again Cowboy? If so, was there any improvement?

Cowboy, go slow as you cannot undo what you did without buying new parts.

I would suggest to check the work YOU did on the frame first before modifying your slide or frame parts. Do not leave out...
