Wow - primers in stock. Too bad it's so far from MO, primers are nonexistent here (at least they were yesterday.)

I had a FFL many years ago, and I have the recollection that if you have one you must record ALL your acquisitions in your bound book, and then record the transfer of the appropriate items out to...

This question comes up regularly on the Glock forums. Last time I read through one the general consensus was that lead was just fine AS LONG AS you clean the barrel routinely. Competition shooters...

I use Trail Boss for most of my 38 Special loads - 3.2g for "cowboy" plinking loads and the max 4.2g for IDPA loads (670fps,) both with 158g cast round nose. It may be more expensive than other...

I have given 38 Special loads to a close friend, but they were "cowboy" loads made with Trail Boss which I am confident will not blow up ANY gun he owns. We have done legal work together for years,...

Having recently switched from Glocks to a S&W Model 65 for IDPA matches, I appreciate the fact that the complete lack of any shoulder on the Lee RNFPs means they never hang up when doing a reload...

They were Winchesters - I normally use WSP, but had some WSM on hand when I ran out of WSP. As I said, the velocity differences between the two, other components being equal, were no more than 2%. ...

Another vote for Trail Boss powder. (There's a special plus for this powder - it says on the label "developed exclusively for lead bullets.") My "cowboy" loads are 158g lead round nose over 3.2g of...

During the LAST primer crisis I was shooting 9mm, not revolvers. When I found myself with only Magnum small pistol primers I loaded up a few test batches with the same 124g bullets and the Accurate...

I have a friend who builds flintlock rifles. My scrap brass goes to him and eventually ends up being cast into butt plates and trigger guards. Most appropriate recycling I can think of.
+1 on newton's approach. Find your accuracy load without a chronograph. After you've found it, THEN check its velocity. The few extra rounds it takes to do this separately is a small price to pay...

Now I remember why I shoot 9mm. :roll:

I some of the cop series on TV (Law & Order SVU and Castle come to mind) the Glock goes "snick snick" every time it's brought up from low ready. I've had special work done to my home defense Glocks...

RCBS competition dies have this feature too.

Before spending money on new equipment, I'd load up some ammo with the equipment you've got and see how it shoots. If the first groups aren't to your liking, try some other loads varying the powder...

On my particular Loadmaster the primers will feed reliably until they just disappear from the LOWER window. That's probably a function of the smoothness and weight of the brand of primers I use plus...

Well, I've been down this road. A grateful client gave me my first press - the original Lee turret (3-holer.) I loaded lots of stuff on that one, ending up with 5 or 6 fully populated turrets. It...

Sadly, many large "charitable" organizations morph into self-perpetuating operations at some point in their existence.
