I'm debating with myself whether to get a 16" or 20" barreled 17 HMR. The balance and handling are of really no consequence for this particular application. However, I do want to achieve, as near as...

Well, I found a carton of TAC 22s at a reasonable price and bought it. I am VERY please with the performance of this ammunition thus far. Although I have only shot 200 rounds through my Supermatic,...
I found a few odd 9MM cases in a batch of range pickups which I think I know what it is but would like to verify it if I can. At 12:00 it is stamped 23WIN and at 6:00 it is stamped 9MM Luger.
This...

What is your experience with this ammunition in autoloading handguns?
I'm looking for a replacement for WIN T-22 which has been discontinued as I'm down to my last carton of it, that I bought in...

I discovered 2-3 lb. coffee cans full of 190 grain RFBB bullets I had cast some years ago for my 38-40s, which after some testing, I found neither my carbine nor my Peacemaker clone liked in the...

For what it's worth, as far as I'm concerned, equipment is only about 30% of the equation when it comes to accurate ammunition. The operator is the other 70%. Years ago I was acquainted with a fellow...
He ordered a Radian gas sealing barrel for his glock.

I have tried to google this but apparently I'm using the wrong words because I can't find what I'm looking for. My Grandson bought one of these for his glock and I really don't understand what it is...
The bullet is just fine, it's the length of the CARTRIDGE case that is moving the conversation.

Alrighty then. That rules out the overtravel pin idea. I think you just have a real heavy rebound spring.
Some years ago I became acquainted with an elderly retired LAPD officer who still had his...

Another thought: Back in that time frame it was rather common to put a piece of round stock inside the rebound spring to limit overtravel. Most generally it was a cut and try kinda deal. If someone...

I have the Leupold 3x9 EFR Compact on 5 of my CZs in CZ rings. That scope is totally satisfactory for my use. All my rifles are the LUX version so that may be a factor as to how they work for me. I...

Can I use my airbrush to apply Cerakote air cure or must I use an HVLP/LVLP detail spray gun?
I have used DuraCoat in the past and am all set up with the air brush so I really don't want to set...
Yesterday I shot the grandson's Glock Gen5. While I still don't like Glocks, this was such a far cry from the early pieces of drek, I was totally taken aback. I guess now I have to quit knocking...
Thank you for that link.
There is a TSC just 9 miles down the road from me and they claim to have it in stock, so I'm going to check it out.

I have amended my initial post to clearly indicate that the shotshell loads are WITH capsules, to which the SPEER notes and data allude.
My parts washer tank needs to be topped up, so I went looking for the usual Stoddard solvent that I have used for the last 35 years. HOLY MOLY Andy, the price is STUPID!!! I don't use it enough to...
Over the weekend an acquaintance and I were discussing shotshell, factory and reloads, in handguns, primarily revolver. He mentioned that SPEER warns against shooting them in ANY ported barrel. Later...
