Mine have slowed down as well. I figure they'll pick back up as it warms. Been a cool spring so far. I may have killed enough to put the hurt on them here though. I am one of those people that bugs...

I have been loading TiteWad for years now and it is very clean. I also have 8lbs of Nitro100NF and will be switching to it when my last lb of TiteWad is done. I did load some Nitro100 loads just to...

Thanks. I was shooting red wasps though. I've killed at least 25 this spring so far.

Glad you are having fun with it. You may want to pattern it and see how tight it is as well as where it's hitting with the sights. When I get one within 2-3ft with the .45 they are blown apart. I...

I've done pretty good using rice on wasps so far this spring. Hits harder than walnut shell. Here's a video where I patterned rice, cream of wheat and walnut shell media out of 9mm. I mixed soe...

Awesome. I look forward to your results with the straws. May be a great way to increase my 9mm case volume. Hey, one thing about this hobby--always keeps ya interested in shooting. You're welcome...

Here's the vid. My consensus is that rice is best. I did make up some duplex loads with rice loaded 1/8" lower than the case neck and topped with COW. Will update when I get to shoot a wasp with...

In an effort to figure out what dented my porch post I loaded and fired several rice load configurations today.

Thanks for the report. I loaded and shot ~20 today thru my striker fired PSA Dagger. All fired 100% with good indentions. I think for my guns I am GTG.

That's a lotta primers. How reliable have they been for you?
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
I'll be checking them all as I go. First tray of 100 is 100%. I know they had QC problems that I heard were resolved. Hoping that actually has been resolved. I will post positive or negative either...
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
I saw those. Update us on how they do for you.
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
I've been watching these for awhile. Made in Argentina. I think the first batches that showed up in the US had QC problems which were resolved. All the latest I read about them is pretty good.

Can you imagine a face full of cayenne pepper at high velocity?
Forum: Shot Loads For Pistols
I'm using long grain just cuz I had some old rice. My wasps aren't too particular about their choice of media.
I'm no expert, just playing around with it. Feel free to mix up the media as well....
Forum: Shot Loads For Pistols
I would say you probably need the powder. My loads are an instant kill at 2ft. Move out to 4-6 ft and it's a knock down instead with the wasp alive. That wad dent was straight on 12" away from the...
Forum: Shot Loads For Pistols
Thanks. i will try them.
Sounds like a cap gun. The videos are close to dead on.
I live in the woods. No neighbors within 300yds.
Forum: Shot Loads For Pistols
Whoa, a dedicated wasp gun. You're serious lol. I thought the dent was from the wad but guess it could have been the wax. I'll load some up tomorrow with something softer and see.
I shot a gallon...

I have about 5lbs of old rice to go thru then I may try them. Are they better in some way?
Forum: Shot Loads For Pistols
HA! Glad to be an enabler lol. Here's what a .45 did to my porch post from 12" away taking out a wasp. The wad indented it, the rest is just marks. I need to touch up paint all the wasp hits soon...
Forum: Shot Loads For Pistols
Pretty neat. I didn't enlarge my primer flash holes though. The drilled case was the cardboard wad cutter and drilled out only to allow you to punch the cardboard wads out. My rice cap wax is ~1/8"...
