Thanks for the compliment! It was pretty easy really, it's all 2x6 & 4x4 construction. One nice thing was that it's heavy enough that I didn't have to bolt it down

I've never used bullseye but I have noticed that Unique is a very clean powder in my .45 ACP and .357 quite a bit cleaner than red dot. I would stay away from hp-38 it's about the smokiest...

I keep loaded weapons easily within reach in my house also, but as soon as they come out of the holster for anything but an emergency situation or for target practice they are unloaded. And as...

Has anybody come up with a good plan for a bullet trap to recycle some of your lead with? The only plan that I could come up with online was this one http://www.reloadammo.com/backstop.htm . ...

I use the Lee 230 Grain round nose tumble lube mold and it works great for me. I doubt that you can beat the price on it. I got mine for right around $20 at grafs. www.grafs.com .

I have a Pro 1000 set up for the 45 ACP . I really haven't had any troubles with it. I've found that most problems are caused by short stroking the press. The primer feed can be touchy when it...
Nope, the only thing that I changed was the powder. I shot another 50 rounds and still absolutely no leading. I'm still amazed.
I went to the sporting goods store and picked up a pound of Alliant 2400 today, loaded it up with 19 grains and shot about 25 times and I was amazed with the results. There was not one speck of...
I have been shooting 240gr cast SWCs in my Smith 629 ahead of 10 grains of HP-38 powder and have been getting some bad barrel leading. I was told that a slower powder i.e. 2400 or IMR 4227 would...
