    Best 9mm pistol caliber carbine?

    Interesting thread. I pick up a Ruger PC9 Carbine next week. It can take Glock mags.

    Cast Iron Skillets

    New Lodge are hit or miss. The coating is awful. If you want to remove the coating cook up a can of peaches with the juice of a fresh lemon. The coating comes right off. Then you can see if the pan is tight grained or porus and season accordingly. I have some old Benjamin Medwin that I like...

    New press announcement from Area 419

    Not for me at $1200. If they offered a system inclusive of dies and shell holder with the same tolerances it might be different. Also don't like that is is made from aluminum.

    NOOB needing help on reloading equipment

    It gets down to a matter of technique and learning how to use the equipment properly. I've been handloading for a long time and have tried many different brands of equipment. I would steer you away from Smart Reloader and Hornady equipment. Redding, Forster, RCBS, Lyman, Lee (best value) and...

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    Great thread. I processed lots and lots of firewood when I lived in upstate NY. Moved to TX last year and am lucky to have a tree on the property. I brought my splitter with me but will likely never use it here. I ran it off the hydraulic system on my tractor. It's for sale. I live 15...

    Redding die problem, can I salvage the brass?

    The "oversized" cases may not fire because the shoulder determines the proper headspace on a bottle necked cartridge. Your case will be pushed too far forward in the chamber for proper firing and may result in the bullet engaging the lands. It may or may not fire depending on the length of...

    Graphite or wax for bullet seating?

    I removed the #9 lead shot from two 12 ga shotgun shells and put it in a small plastic container (looks like a liquor shot glass) then added a good amount of fine powdered graphite. I plunge the case necks into the shot a couple 3 times and get a nicely lubed neck. As to cleaning brass - hot...

    40g bullets in .223? Anyone had success?

    I have developed three loads for my Kimber Longmaster Classic 223 bolt action rifle that are amazingly accurate. 1) 63 grain Sierra Semi Spitzer bullet using H-4895 powder. 2) 40 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet using Hodgdon Benchmark powder. 3) Sierra 69 grain Match hollow point bullet...

    A question for the experienced reloaders

    I load 223 for both my semi auto rifle and my bolt action rifle. I have two different setups, one for each. Cranking out ammo for the semi auto I use a Lee system with the auto indexing Classic Turret, all Lee dies (Powder Through Expander Die is great) and a Lee Auto Drum powder dispenser...

    That was actually very impressive . The gyroscopic stabilization was part of the structure.

    Take plenty of lube to Key West so you don't get chafe from mingling with the local color (rainbow).

    7mm mag reloading

    I found Hornady bullets to be the least consistent bullets I ever tried for the 7RM and the 300WM. I suggest you weigh several and sort by weight. 180 grains is considered a heavy-for-caliber bullet. You will need a 1:10 twist or faster barrel for best accuracy. Even then you need to find...
