Got it. Thank you..

Was that a stupid question? Or do people just not have thoughts on it? I'm still fairly new to this whole thing, recent transplant from NYC..

Hey guys.. Saw something today that I had no idea was even in the works. Read some responses.. Just wanted to get some of your own thoughts on this. Doe Run Company, the last lead smelter in the United States will be closing its operations by the end of this year because it can not meet...

I can't imagine any legal gun owner in NYC participating in this program. I think it costs somewhere around $400 in paperwork just to initiate the process of attempting to obtain a firearm license.. (You can get turned down if you fail any of the control points along the way.) From what I...

Wonder if they try to match of the guns to shell casings found at crime scenes.. And, yeah.. They are more likely to be looking for new holsters than rightful owners..

Recently left NYC for greener pastures.. Perusing my old hometown paper when I come across this article: NYPD to restart gun buyback program with 10 events across the city - NY Daily News I look at the accompanying photo, and.. front and center, nice, blued Colt Python.. The deal is $200.00...

Well, nothing exploded, nothing got stuck in the barrel.. Shoots on target. 15 grains of 2400 with magnum primers pushing a 125 grain plated bullet. Didnt notice any signs of excessive pressure. I did notice some powder in the barrel and inside the casing, but I guess that is what everybody is...

Guys.. Any pointers on how to properly dispose of primed cases after the bullet has been pulled?

And perhaps invest in a new reloading manual.. The one I have is actually fairly thick.. 500 pages of load data

Thank you all.. Your advice and expertise are definitely appreciated.. Going to pick up some Unique, or 2400 tomorrow and try this again.. Will let you guys know how it goes..

Thanks, guys.. Made a few rounds last night thinking I would test them out today, but now I think I'm going to pull the bullets.. 358156hp, they are Rainier Ballistics bullets. I looked them up on the company website after reading what you wrote, and yes, they are plated, not FMJ.. I crimped...

Hey, Guys.. First post.. Very newbie question.. Couple, actually.. I am fairly new to shooting.. Got my first gun last October. Very new to reloading, which is why I come to you guys for a little guidance.. I am using Lee Classic Turret press to reload 357 mags.. H110 powder 125 grain FMJ...
