I AM LOOKING FOR A MORE POWERFUL AUTOMATIC AND WELL AS ACCURATE PISTOL OVER THE .45 ACP AND LURKED THROUGH THE NET AND CAME ACROSS THIS WEBSITE WHERE CHARLES BRONSAN USED THIS .44 AUTOMAG IN DEATH WISH III, IT CHAMBERS SEVERAL MAGNUM CARDRIDGES IN .44MAG, .45 WIN MAG, .45 WILDEY AND .475 WILDEY...

I took out my 6.5 x 284 built by High Score Gunsmithing out of my closet and had some dust on it. I last shot it last April when the crops were too high to shoot anymore. I last used the 142 MatchKings and shot an average of 1.5-1.75 inch 5 shot group at 500 yards. I bought some Bergers and...

What is the difference between cast bullets and copper bullets and why use cast bullets if the lead fouls your rifling? Does cast bullets need lube to seat and why the gas checks on them? Mark

Does the Kimber Target II in Super .38 have a supported chamber?

The standard diameter for .38 Super is .356 diameter and there are not very many bullets in .356 except for FMJ 130 grain from Remington and Winchester. I found an old box of Sierra Tournament Master 150 grain .356 diameter FPJ today and it is the discontinued product and I'll see how it...

I am trying to conserve money buying bullets in bulk of 500 or 1000. Has anyone used Rainer or Hornady full metal jacjet flat nose bullets and if you have, how would you rate them in accuracy and quality? They are cheaper than the high quality bullets for bowling pin shootouts.

I like to switch to some other powders to experiment with to find a excellent load for the .38 Super. Are there any other great powdersbesides the W231 and Blue Dot for the .38 Super? Any recipes you want to share with us?

I have a 6.5 X 284 built by High Score Gunsmithing last spring and fired about at least 65 rounds out of it. I was using RL22 topped with a Matchking 142 grain and Berger 140 VLD's, have not tried out the Noslers yet. The Bergers and Kings were hitting at least 1.5 inches or better at 500 yards...

Went to the gun show last Saturday and looked at many DA pistols and made a decision to seize the last Equinox P229 before it sold out. Man, those wood grips are real nice and tried it out with a box of 180 grain Winchesters full metal flat nose and shot targets off the sandbag at 30 feet and...

Anyone have any good recipes with .41 Magnum loads? I have some W231, Blue Dot, 2400 and H110 powders on hand and Hornady 210 grain HP bullets. I have the Smithy 629 with 6 inch barrel SS I bought about 12 years ago and shot with full power loads with 20 grns. H110 and Hornady 210 grainers at...

What would be the ideal velocity for paper shooting or plinking for the .45 and .38 Super? Is fast burning powders best for this application like the W231?

I went to the pistol tourney a while ago, it consists of law enforcement and civilians mixed together shooting at three different human sillouette targets at the fastest time. I used my .38 Super and when it was ready for me to take the 1st shot in the beginning round and it just misfired and...

Is there a ban or pre-ban on carrying high capacity mags like the Para Ordnance? There are 14 rounds in .45 and 16 rounds in .40 I decided to wait it out before buying the Sig 220 and go to the gun show in two weeks and check out the Para Ordnance double action in .45 or .40 What do you guys...

I loaded the .45 Sierra Match 185 grain bullet to OAL length of 1.165" and manuals say to seat to OAL of 1.190 to 2.220. I seated just short of tapered area of bullet. Bullet looks short. Any advice?

I loaded 100 rounds of .45's using 6.2-6.3 grns. of W231 with Sierra's and Nosler's 185 grain match bullets and they shoot just fine. My Sierra and Nosler manuals shows that the hottest load is 6.3-6.4 grains while the Speer manual says 7.4 for .45 caliber 185 grain bullets. I have not...

After cleaning the Kimber barrels with Butch Bore Shine several times, I see traces of copper on the riflings. Is this normal? Should it be removed with stronger copper remover solvent? Will the strong stuff harm barrels? Mark

I have several brass in PMC, Remington, Federal, Winchester and the best,,Starline. I rather keep Starline seperate from factory brass. Is it OK to mix once fired factory brass together when reloading? I just took out about unsized and fired 150 cases out of the tumbler and washed with water...

My sister has an old P226 in 9mm SA and I tried it along with the Kimbers inj .45 and .38 Super. The Sig shot 147 Hydra Shoks low and left at 30 feet and I was not too impressed with the accuracy. Kimber .45 with : factory PMC ball 1-2 inches at 15 yards...

For those of you that use fixed sights on the Sigs, do the bullets hit exactly where you aim? Or should I get adjustable sights? Mark

I saw some pistols today. There was a Sig 229 in .40 and Sig 220 in .45 and there were the hammer and hammerless models. The hammerless or DAK had a hard trigger and the one with the hammer had a softer trigger. I don't know which to get. Any suggestions? The .40 has the edge in knockdown power...
