The type of commute aside from just distance is important. I commuted 40 miles into NYC on a variety of bikes. By far the most comfortable and convenient was my BMW 1200rt with top and side bags. A ton of storage for work stuff, and to keep full gear and boots in upon arrival. Plus heated...

I have the RCBS charge master 1500.. Love it. Fast and accurate and holds zero perfectly. I also have a cheap battery powered hornady digital scale that came with a kit... Piece of junk, not accurate, doesn't hold zero, doesn't weigh the same charge 2x in a row the same. Basically with...

I love ballistol and don't mind the smell that much but boy, I'd never use it in a car unless that '66 is a convertible with a broken top [emoji14] or you want to ensure your SO doesn't come along for Sunday drives

I've used a fair amount of perfecta 158gr 357 mag... It chronos for me @1190fps which is on par with American eagle 158gr 357 out of my 4" barrel I've also shot a fair amount of perfecta and AE 38special and the 357 does not feel like that. This is in a 686 SSR

Bullet setback is common in semi auto rounds that are not taper crimped like revolver rounds if you reload the same round. Don't pull them, just put them in the range ammo pile after a few load/unloads. Once you have a magazine or more with, shootem up. Serves several purposes: gets rid of...

Call the mfrs first if possible. Most are pretty good

Changing published load data is one reason I always print or copy the source and put it in my load book along with my actual tested load. When I go back to a load I have used in a long time, I can see immediately where I got the starting and/or max load from. Before I started doing this...

It could be interesting if with the target you bought the gun he used to shoot it from Buds. And saved the video (for when YouTube knocks his Chan down again)

I don't carry my handloads, not because I'm worried about prosecutorial attack but because I load plinking rounds and fed hst (and most other quality ammo) is a much better, and probably more 'deadly' SD round than what I roll. I do carry guns I've modified... All my handguns have had work...

In the last 100k+ I have had two squibs. Neither cycled the action. Both were immediately obvious as an issue (felt recoil/noise etc) and both were stuck in the barrel (primer no powder likely culprit in both) I stopped shooting immediately and always check the barrel. I have also stopped with...

I have no issue with anyone I trust carrying open or concealed including in my house. Would you trust the police in your house? If I don't trust them, they aren't coming in with or without a gun. Do those of you who wouldn't allow ppl in expect to be allowed to carry at a...

Did you call s&w? Most gun mfrs keep pretty good records... Stag arms perhaps excluded :/

Only reason I can think of is they are obviously not shooting it enough.[emoji14]

This pretty well sums up the market for. 22lr

Did you field strip, fully clean, then lubricate prior to first range trip? As for the mags.. Some 1911 don't like some mfr's Wilson or not. I had a 1911 that until it was over 1k rounds didn't like Wilson 47d but was fine with ed brown or chip mccormicks Then after 1k it worked with any mag I...
