    Everyone is aware by now that Starline is now making/selling Webley 455 Mk II brass, right? First run sold out; next batch due to be shipped end of April 2018...

    I wrote to Starline's new Sales Manager, Matt Reams, asking if the pricing was correct, considering similar-sized cases are about half what they're asking for the 455 Mark II. Here's the gist of his...

    I'm using 265 gr "traditional" Webley bullets cast in the RCBS mould (the long, pointy round nose, hollow base one) over 3.3 gr. of Bullseye in my unshaved Mk VI. I found it gives much better...

    The instructions I read are very clear about NOT sizing before coating - says it will "close the pores" and interfere with the coatings ability to stick to the lead... so I always coat first, then...

    I always thought that recoil was solely a function of gun weight, bullet weight and velocity, and powder charge weight. (I've got the formula around somewhere if someone wants to do the...

    Be nice if they'd add a "deposit counter" to their website - showing the number of deposits they've already received. As the number climbs close to the threshold it might entice folks like me to...

    With a half-dozen or more different caliber barrels already for my G1 Contender (with the STERLING buttplate!), I recently added a 7mm TCU barrel. Never even considered the 30 Herrett before, but...

    Having thousands of rounds of lp 45acp, I HATED the sp stuff, and refused to buy any factory ammo loaded with it. Then I realized most of my 400 CorBon brass were sp, and now any sp 45s I pick up...

    Why not just call Fiocchi and ask? Get their (Ozark, MO plant - where the majority of their ammo sold in USA is made) phone number from their website. They've been very good about answering...

    +1 more for the SIG P938 - a 9mm not much larger than the pocket 32's or 380's, but substantially heavier and a bit wider. For REALLY compact, I like the Diamondback DB9 - which I'm surprised nobody...

    I like it in the 45-70, but never tried it in a revolver. And I DON'T like it in the Colt, primarily because I'm not looking for particularly hot loads, and can get the same accuracy with a lot less...

    And, they stink! And steal eggs from my wife's banty chickens... good to get rid of them. But as others have implied, they're just being possums, and have the right to do their thing - just NOT in...

    I swear by these dies - I've got all three (.380, .40 and .45) and use them on ALL range brass before I load and ALL my loads before firing to guarantee proper chambering. They eliminate the...

    Outpost, I'd dearly love to have some Cowboy 45 Special brass! I'm hoping that things at Starline will calm down enough soon for them to make some, as I've read is their plan. The only issue that I...

    I like the 7mm TCU in my Contender - I thought about a 300 BO, but didn't like the hassle of cutting down the brass. The 7mm TCU uses a full-length 5.56 case with the neck opened up. No other...
