So you:
Got a little work done, mostly related to your fun.
Had good 4 legged company all day.
Shot pretty good.
Found out your health(knuckle) was improving.
Rode into town.
Had a drink.

My wife is a Veterinarian, folks seem to think those 8 years of college, high dollar x-ray machine and other equipment, and staff all add up to free care for little...

I have put something around 100,000 rounds through 1911s and had the good fortune to have one handy during a more serious "social situation".
I like my revolvers, and other guns, and the plastic...

The Dillon Dies make for a machine that runs nice and smooth but they are pretty carp mouthed as a trade off.
The size die should be down nearly touching the shell plate when you run the ram up. ...
I never shot Bianchi but I hold master classification in IDPA, upper end of A class in USPSA. I shot the VA state steel challenge match and did fairly well except for a mental lapse playing in a new...
See I have no comparison point. I have sent maybe 120,000 .45ACP rounds through a few 1911s and with my custom I can ring that 8" plate at just over 1 second splits until the mag runs dry. I do...
Thanks, that is a great answer.
FWIW my load is 10.4gr of Unique. Federal gold metal match mag primer, Lyman 429421 cast from WW alloy. Runs about 1090fps 15ft in front of the muzzle.

I bought one after a false start with an RCBS sizer.
Like Others have said I hated sizing, really despised doing it and I needed to produce 15-20,000 boolits a year for my USPSA/IDPA habit. I...
Obviously different shooting positions create a different accuracy expectation.
that's why I specified off hand. Personally I could care less how well I can shoot my handguns from a rest because...
All the threads here about accuracy in a revolver have me wondering. group sizes are quoted without reference to off hand or rested, iron sights, dot, or scope, barrel length etc.
So for those...

I worked up a load with Unique and a Lyman 429421 last weekend with good results. They cut one ragged hole at 25 and backing out a ways I was able to ring my 8 inch plate 6 out of 6 at 60 yards and...

It is pretty disheartening to hear some of what is being relayed here.
I hold Master Classification in IDPA, and am A class in USPSA/IPSC. Suffice to say I have shot more than a few of both of...

The ducks, the cat, or all of the above?
Good advice from those above but I'll chime in.
I heard Brian Enos say once to "let your eyes break the trigger" meaning quit thinking about the trigger so much and let your eyes tell your brain...
The 35P is back and if you can swing the $$$ that is the way to go IMO.
I have a CED M2 and it is a great setup especially with the IR screens. It rarely ever misses a reading and if you shoot a...

No kidding, I would have bought a 550 for a fair bit more than that.
Not to say they have not been affected, but I think the recession has hurt shooters much less than some other groups. Witness...

To much pressure now with the "thinner" lube.
The Star is a lot easier to use for me with the air pressure system and a heated base with thermostat controlled temp settings. That way you can find...
You can rest assured the M&P and Sigma are on opposite ends of the spectrum from each other for sure.

I would try to eliminate everything else before worrying about the press.
Start with fired brass and see how straight it is, then check the brass at every step to see where the runout is being...

Powder valley has Federal Large Pistol Match Magnums in stock, or at least they had some left when I bought 4000 last week.

I like the looks of Pat's system, but for the number of larger items I need it for the cost was going to get pretty high, fair for the quality to be sure but still $$$.
Instead I bought a package...
