Shot with a bunch of them from Littlestown at the Walt Wise this past weekend. I always enjoyed shooting that match in Littlestown, remember seeing some Elk one mourning while going to the range. They were a sight to see, No one believed me when I told them what I saw but I was lucky to have a...

Interesting, will it mount on a 1911?

I seem to remember someone showing up at Littlestown with a 454 Casull before the Police -L match wanting people to try it out and I said no thanks.

Yes USPS is a pain when it comes to shipping bullets. I have only received on package that didn't have some bullets that weren't damaged due to rough handling of the package. Got an order of 1000 .45 bullets in bound from Georga due tomorrow and hope them were packed well, that flat rate box is...

Yeah grip design in a handgun of any caliber is a big deal for control of recoil. A S&W M29 44mag would eat my hand up with factory target grips where a Ruger Super Black Hawk was a pussy cat with the same load. Those look like nice grips.

Sounds like someone hacked their delivery program.

Thanks for the response. gas checks are not needed due to low velocities and virtually no gas cutting on the base of the bullets, bullet lubes work to keep barrel leading down, just looking at ways to make reloading them cleaner and easier. HyTech coatings keep the gun cleaner and your hands...

I marked sitting do to that is how I was taught to do and I have my scales and other tools at tabletop or eye level. My primary loading table/ countertop bench is mid height and 6' long with 3 presses on it, 2 Dillon 550's and a RCBS rifle press. To look at my set up you would say what a mess...

From my experience with military machine guns( M60 ) I have found them to be very accurate, to the point that some had been fitted with rifle scopes for long range sniping. I was known to use the one I carried to clear firing lanes including cutting down medium-size trees like a chain saw. I...

Since Hi-Tek bullet coatings are getting scarious to buy for self-coating lead bullets I wonder if this will work on lead to keep the bullets from leading the barrel.

Flat wire springs have been around forever in machinery use but were harder to make then round wire hence the use of round wire in gun springs. They can be used just like round wire springs with the right full length guide rod and you don't have to capture them or machine the spring channel in...

Due to their harder primer cup is the only reason, some lightly sprung revolvers and semi autos have problems setting them off. Sometimes it would take 2 hits by the firing pin to set them off. When I first started shooting handguns they were my go-to primers but after several miss fires, I...

Thanks Dan, always something new to learn when reloading ammo. There was a time of day as long as my loads worked I was happy with the results , but now with the new build I have been learning how to get the most out of my loads for consistency and accuracy just like I did with my rifles.

Flat wire spring and guide rod.

My accurized 1911 .45 has a flat wire recoil spring and long guide rod, the spring is rated at 13# and is made from flat wire. The whole Idea of the flat wire spring system is to allow disassembly without turning the barrel bushing which keeps the barrel bushing fit tight. What does this have to...
