Thanks guys. From looking at the brass I don't think it ever had a bullet seated, although I am not completely sure of this. I think this due to the tarry substance not being smeared or disturbed at...

I am not sure where to post this but here it goes. I sorta inherited some primed brass from a very good friend a few months ago. It has been stored (by him) in airtight containers. The brass is...
Hi Brassmonkey.
I have reloaded several thousand rounds of 5.7. Clean the cases with simple green. Start at 10% below maximum for the powder charge. I prefer True Blue if you can find it. Pay...
I am fond of the Lee round nose model 356-125-2R. I have the 6 cavity mold and have been loading them over 5.1 grains of Cfepistol powder. Cast from range scrap and powder coated then sized to .356,...
I took 3 Lee 1 oz slugs and paper patched them to fit the bore of my shotgun. I used printer paper from my office. I loaded 16.5 grains of Clays into a WW AA hull rated for 1 1/8 oz loads. I cut the...
Nevermind I looked at how you spelled y-man and searched again. The dash made the difference
Don't worry about a hijack. I looked at yman's posts but could not find any reference to substituting slugs for shot. If you can link me to it I would be very grateful.
Yes sir, the load in the Federal shells was 1 1/8 oz of #8 shot. My slugs consistently weigh in just under that. I have loaded 10 more to try this weekend, just making sure it wasn't a fluke. I...
Somewhere in this forum I read a brief post by a gentleman who said he uncrimped the cheap Walmart 100 pack shotshells and replaced the shot with a Lee slug. I apologize, I can't find that post now....

I use the 6 CAVITY 356-125 2R bullet mold. Powder coated and sized to .356. Seated to 1.110 over 5.1 grains of CFE Pistol powder. The crimp matters a great deal. I taper crimp mine at .377. These...

Somehow we now have three 380 handguns in my house. The Lee mold, cast from range lead, Powder coated and sized. 356 on top of 2.8 grain of WW 231 works like a dream in the LCP, Kahr CW 380 and the...

Yes, adjustable sights are allowed. That is called the modern category. Also, you will need two handguns. Good excuse to buy a 4 5/8 44 blackhawk. Have fun, I used 5 1/2 inch and 4 5/8 inch...
Look at the Telor Tactical website, most comfortable ankle holster I have ever worn.
Right now and pretty much all times, a Kahr CM9 with Hornady Critical Duty in a Telor Tactical ankle holster. Other times a Ruger LCP if just in shorts in the yard or such. A Glock 27 near hand in...

Hey Gray Fox. How did the rifle shoot? Also, replied to your PM. If you can make it to the match this month I will use my GSR also. Means I have to load some cast boolits for my rifle as I was...

I spent the other day practicing position shooting with my Scout. Shoot a round offhand, then drop into the kneeling position and fire a round, etc. etc. I prefer IDPA targets and mostly practice...
I also recently purchased a Kahr CM9 handgun also. Being a retired LEO now I wanted something with a little more OOMPH. For years I have carried a Glock 40 cal of some type and a Ruger LCP 380 as...

I shot the scout in the tactical rifle competition Sunday. Burned up about 40 rounds of my Radway Green stash. I didn't do too badly, only five misses at the 110 yard steel and none on the 30 and...
