    Barrel twist

    Choose the barrel twist for your intended bullet. Most of the bullet makers are good about specifying which twist their long range bullets require.

    Squib Load

    BTW - I still love the good ol' 45 ACP. What a great cartridge! Enjoy.

    Squib Load

    It's real easy to throw a light charge or no charge while reloading handgun ammo. Or for some real excitement to double-charge a case! I don't know what happened in your case, but I'm awfully glad that you caught it. Kinda nice in the semi-auto that the squib wouldn't even operate the...

    Did well in Pistol Competition today

    Our local gun shop & indoor range started a new monthly match. It's available pretty much anytime they're open. All from low ready and each is a 10 shot string of fire: 5yards in 5 seconds 7 yards in 7 seconds 10 yards in 10 seconds 15 yards in 15 seconds 40 rounds total. They've got the...

    45 ACP Accuracy Load

    I'm running low on my stash of 200 gr LSWC cast bullets. I'll finish them out by reloading 50-100 more then I'll switch to two other bullets I've had great results with in low-recoil target loads: 185 grain Nosler JHP - bought 3,000 of them back when Nosler/SPS had some great bargains on them...

    Anyone ever heard of a .358 Win Mag?

    Yup - the 'smith and the owner can call it pretty much anything they wish. "358 Win Mag" seems like a great description for a 338 bored out to .358" bore diameter. Guy

    45 ACP Accuracy Load

    Aiming at the "8" and the head at various distances: 5.0 grains of W231 is working out well for me. Guy

    A Little Range Time Today

    Oh, I suspect that they'll do just fine. :) Good shooting!

    45 ACP Accuracy Load

    Sadly Bullseye has been pretty much unobtainable for several years. It's a great powder for accuracy loads with the 45 ACP and 38 Special.

    Ruger M 77 Mark II Take Off Barrel

    So you know I at least looked. :) Am always up for grabbing something lightly used at a good price. :) I got most of my guns that way! Guy

    38 Special 125 grain handload input please?

    I've got some Titegroup - it shoots really well. May go with that. However the gun gets really hot while shooting long strings of fire with Titegroup. I mean, it's obvious, not just a little thing. The cartridge cases are also hotter than normal. But the stuff produces excellent results. Guy

    Ruger M 77 Mark II Take Off Barrel

    Marked 300 Win Mag for anyone wondering.

    Gen 2 Kimber

    Good call. I expect that you'll be pleased as punch with your new 9mm Ronin! Did you get the AOS version, already cut for optics?

    38 Special 125 grain handload input please?

    Sadly, those are very difficult to obtain... I have a LOT of Unique on hand, but it's the ancient stuff mixed by Daniel Boone and Davey Crockett - burns about as dirty as wet firewood... Great velocity and accuracy, but cleaning my sixgun every 18 rounds is a bit much. ;) Bullseye is...

    38 Special 125 grain handload input please?

    I want to shoot a bunch of 38 Specials and am looking for powder recommendations for the light-recoiling 125 grain bullets. Something similar, like 130's would be fine too, but I'm sitting on a mess of 125's. Muzzle velocity doesn't need to be high. 800 fps or so is fine. I'm looking for...

    So I forgot a very important rule

    Probably twenty years ago I turned down an outstanding offer from Nighthawk to buy one of their full-size 1911's at a special reduced price for officers who had been firing one at their demo-day... It was a lot of money at the time, and I really couldn't justify it. But goodness, what a great...

    Springfield Armory Ronin 9mm w/Viridian green dot

    Added - I'm probably going to sell off a couple of firearms to fund optics for a couple more of my handguns... The 6" S&W 686 357 magnum is ridiculously accurate even though I can't really see the sights. I suspect that it will be much better when I've got an optic of some sort on it. This...

    Springfield Armory Ronin 9mm w/Viridian green dot

    All the younger guys on my church security team had some sort of 9mm semi-auto, mostly double stack, with an optic, and a rigid inside the waistband holster positioned in the "appendix" area. Unconventional to me. But they were fast and accurate. Some were almost as accurate as an older guy I...

    Springfield Armory Ronin 9mm w/Viridian green dot

    Very cool! I put a Holosun 509 on my 45 ACP Springfield Ronin. A green-dot version. It's working out really well. Was told that the green dots work out better for old eyes than the red dots. Don't know that it's true or not. BTW, looks like you've got a mighty fine 9mm load there...
