Well today was a great day for testing as it's really over cast and maybe even going to storm so the low lighting is perfect for this. Not nighttime but good and dark out for being 3pm in the...

Have tired power pistol but don't remember it being flashy in this gun, from the looks of it no one makes major with blue dot because of the big flakes you can't get enough in the case and it doesn't...

Thanks Grump i also have quickload so no worries there. It doesnt look like you can make major with it but it requires a lot of powder and might work great for fireball loads. The more powder the...

Do they even use anything but 9mm in open division anymore :) i've had 2 case failures due to using mixed brass and getting some foreign garbage in there I have since switch to only Win headstamp...

Ya just to do it
I have a 500S&W and a buddy of mine has a 460 rowland both of these guns flash a lot in low light. I'm more just curious to see what I can do with 9mm major and how it might...

Just for fun I thought I would see how much fire my uspsa open gun could breath out the compensator ports you guys have any suggestions on how to do it? I am currently using a 115gr jacketed bullet...

Not yet since we are onlined based are inventory isn't all that big.

The nice people over at brigand arms emailed me about the article today with good things to say, they also pointed out the handguard is 4.6ozs like I had listed but that includes there barrel nut...

I only have one polymer lower the one listed in the article, Worried me a little at first but the fit to the upper is really tight and it hasn't gave me any problems yet. I haven't tired to beat it...

Just got done writing a article on how to build a ultra lightweight ar-15 on my website and was wondering what you guys thought and more importantly is I messed up anywhere ;). Was just looking for...

I really like the FCD but just a modified version of it. If you plan on running bullets .358 you would also have to open up the carbide ring in the die with some diamond lapping compound so I would...

I don't chamfer any of my 9mm brass but I built a custom expander for my M die out of a 357 expander I believe just needed cut and reprofiled to the 9mm length. Some of my brass looks buldged a...

Yicks, I've had some burns but nothing close to my eyes before. I've always wore gloves but it's time I get a pair of dedicated casting glasses.

I've got some 168gr to cycle reliably under 3gr's of AA#2 but those boolits don't give much wiggle room. I think the first thing I would start with is a litter recoil spring like you said. if it's...

My cz barrel also slugs at .3565 and I use the lyman M die, I can't remember what expander I ended up with but the 9mm was to narrow, I think it was the .357 one which was to long to start with so I...

I bake PC bullets in the house oven there is a little smell according to the wife but I really don't notice it.

Congratz on your first session i'm sure there will be many more to come. I use cotton swabs with acetone to clean the molds for the first time and it's not 100% guaranteed to get all of the factory...
I seen that looking at the TC molds, Tho I think the shorter stub nosed 120gr might be better because they will let me load longer in the mags which in the limiting factor on OAL for me since I have...
Well the end weight of the bullet has to be above 112gr to be legal in uspsa otherwise i could probably run lee's 102gr bullet.
My biggest worry about cutting a mold down is the nose becoming to...
lol well yes 120gr is to heavy for me ;-). I'm going to use this mold for my open gun (9mm major) so I need as light as possible 112gr to 115gr so I can put as much powder behind it as possible to...
I was wondering if someone currently produced a 6 cavity 115gr 9mm mold or if anyone had tired milling down one of the lee 124/125gr 6 cavity mold to achieve a 115gr, if so how was the accuracy of...
