This. I have Trijicon HD on all my M&P pistols and they are hard to beat.

I have Trijicon HD sights on my many M&P pistols and want to install them on the Shield 45 I picked up a couple weeks ago. I sent Trijicon an email to verify that model SA139 for the 9 and 40 would fit the 45 and this was thier reply: "Thank you for your interest in our Trijicon HD sights, we...

Yes, I wear gloves while reloading, cleaning brass or weapons.

Autocomp is my new favorite for 9 and 40. I picked up a pound when I was getting low on Power Pistol and couldn't find any more. I have found 5.1 gr (Hornady 8th edition) is very accurate for me with both 115 gr and 180 gr target loads and meters very consistently through the powder measure...

I got my LNL AP converted over to run some 9mm and use up the last of a 1# bottle of Autocomp. Went to check my powder drop and discovered that I had not gotten the metering insert locked into the rotor and it popped out. Powder started pouring out of the insert hole!! :eek: It made a huge...

Hi. My name is @*%# and I am a powder addict. :D. I was having the same problem and had an intervention with myself. I was buying stuff that would work as it became available. When my favorites came back I bought in bulk. I finally did the math and convinced myself that I have enough to last...

All my presses are red and most of my dies, but I have some green.

I own Lee decapper and crimp dies but prefer the way others are machined. Just personal preference, nothing against Lee dies.

I am considering trying one of these and was wondering what experience others have with them. I am not a big fan of Lee dies but these look interesting.

I already load for 8 calibers, with multilple guns for several. It has been challenging enough to keep them fed! :o

I saw 4 & 8 lbs of W231 and 8lb HP38 the other day and it took all the willpower I had not to buy some!

I started reloading at the end of 2012 right after the Sandy Hook incident. This obviously was the worst possible time to find components and for me the never ending hunt has been a big part of my reloading adventure. Now that things have improved dramatically and I have enough to load for at...

I have been reloading for about 3 1/2 years and components have obviously been difficult to find. By checking the local guns stores often, I have been able to stock up with enough to keep me going for a while. Today I stopped by a privately owned store and saw the shelves stocked with 4 & 8 lb...

If a primer was seated in a case upside down on a progressive press, how would you extract it from the case? A decapping pin could act as a firing pin. No, I have not done this but got me thinking....

While I tend to agree with you that most of the reloading companies charge too much for most of their products, it takes a bit of the sting out knowing you will not get the run around if you need parts or other assistance.
