First day I ever got to go
forgot my mag for my Mod 88 .243 Win. Stuffed loads 1 at a time until I got too my pocketknife. That didn't seem to fit.
An' I wondered what was wrong with that little...

What!
No armor? You need to spec Level IIIA or IV
Lordy mercy!
We won't know what to do!
Set us straight quick!
And let's not forget the neck and sides- you can't be over-armored in your...

All very interesting, but flies in the face of my personal experience.
My .40 boolits are straight WW, BHN 10-11
175 grainers, they are doing ~975FPS average. It's not a hot load, but neither is it...

Well, it's an entertaining post if nothing else. Like a part of the anatomy, everyone's got an opinion. Most think everyone else's stink.
6 shots in a second is pretty preposterous, tho. A vid of...

Well, I have the 16" twist, so that's a good start. The 4" bbl may be a bit of a hardship, but I doubt too much.
Do you remember your AA#9 loads? Velocities?

As some of the above, I usually weigh some boolits from a new mold. Weighing 1 or 2 doesn't tell me much, so I weigh 20-50, depending on how much time I want to waste on it and just how critical my...

My experience is the .357 is sharper
That is, the crack is "cracklier" instead of a big boom like a .44Mag.
But as has been said, it can be varied quite a bit by a number of circumstances that are...

That's the method recommended by NRA and a number of defensive firearms trainers. They also say to call 911 and leave the phone on so all that is recorded. All of it is there as defense in a...

Boy do I know that feelin'
I hunted quite a bit this year, in antler only areas. There were antlerless all over, but the bucks seemed to know not to show up.
2 days before end of season, my buddy...

The barrel length was listed, you just missed it.
Thanks for the confirmation, I have a starting point now. :idea:

And here I had about given up on the thought!
Put me down for an LB2
zip 98233

I usually always use a measure to do this, so my load is slightly dictated by the volume of the measure.
That said, it will be in the 21-22 grain area. I think you hit it close enough for me. That's...

I set my caliper to 5/16" and got what you see. To the crimp it's more like .380, but the .40S&W case in the pic was marked to the crimp with case and boolit sitting on the bench, then used as the...

Well, I got around to trying the technique below today. Wanted to start by seeing how much we were talking about.
Turns out it was 28.9 grains of WW296- same as H110 in a WW case.
That's a good...

I have been using 40S&W brass in my Glock 20 for several years.It does headspace off the extractor not the mouth. That hasn't been a problem. Never once a misfire due to the headspace. In fact, if...

To the complaint that they have cr@ppy triggers:
I have fixed all mine (I have several) with the 15 minute trigger job (on U-Tube) and a 3.5lb connector.
That won't make it a custom 1911 trigger,...

I have a new mold- thanks, White Eagle! for my .45 RH. It's 340 grain. Can't seem to find any data for it. The RH twist is 1/16, so I think it will stabilize, hopefully down to 1000FPS or so, so it...

Excellent!
I may try it all alone in a pot, and see if it casts OK.
Or, I may throw a single lb in the pot now and then and consider the quantity too small to concern me.
Thanks for the replys!

I sorted all me weights. I stay by the smelting pot, watching for the occasional one I missed.
Today, 'bout the 4th pot I smelted down, appeared a lone "non-melter" As I scooped it up, one end...

I guess it had never crossed my mind that they might not....
I used 'em with success in my Glock and Taurus.
May have to shuck a few thru the 1911 dry and see if they feed.
BTW, my 210 mold comes...

If I took exception to every bill I get that is in some way incorrect or overtly false, I'd have had a heart attack from all the trouble and worry it got me. And all that long ago. I don't encourage...

Wow! What a b!tch session this turned into! I've seen 'em before....
I got one of the DVDs, months ago. I knew from the accompanying docs that it was free if I wanted to keep it. I kept it. I think...

My thought is you need to begin with the end in mind.
That is, each component has a range within which it is optimal. Once you press the component outside its optimum range, it becomes less accurate...

I have a canneluring tool. It will make the cannelure in brass or a bullet. On the bullet, it is a crimp groove.
Don't think I've used it much in 35+ years of having it, but the old gunsmith I was...

I used to have that problem. That is, powder would stick to the base of boolits coated with LLA. It didn't seem to affect anything, but if I had to pull some boolits for some other reason, it was...
