Ahhh yes, compressed powder loads. Another "variable" that needs attention. I try to stay away from them if possible, but that's just me. Rick H.

I'll take the challenge WR Moore, but only for reloaders. While the manuals, books and websites may be good for rough edge reloading data, I have found there are just too many variables when one is trying to develop a desired handload. The only way for most "normal" people to check their loads...

Tough decision, but if the barrel shoots well I would have a hard time altering it. I have a newer PC M41 that I just had threaded by EWK for a suppressor and it was a hard decision for me. The machine work they did was outstanding. Still not sure how it shoots yet, but it's great for a...

I have all the variations of the Sig P-210 American models except for the laser etched compact version. I don't like the etching. I also have a German made Legend target model and at one time I had a Swiss made version which I foolishly let go. For all the hyperbole surrounding this pistol I...

I think the Garmin is more popular because it was the first compact chrono to come out of the market that truly worked and was very easy to set up. I have used all the various chrono's on the market over time, but my Garmin is the only one I use now. It even works on a short 15 yard indoor...

My old agency used 115 +P+ and 127 +P+ Winchester loads for several years. I liked the load because the speed they generated was substantial at the time and it still is. Something like 1300+ FPS out of a pistol. I still use these rounds in my EDC Glocks and CZ's. In fact just yesterday I...

I am confused. If New York established the firm you are required to go thru for ammunition purchase approval and that firm suffers a security lapse and subsequent leak/loss of critical information such as SSN's, then the Great State of New York is most certainly responsible for your loss. You...

I managed to find some on Ebay. I posted this last February. Thanks.. Rick H.

Ditto! I want to see what I may have missed... Rick H.

I find this thread completely unbelievable, but then again not. Are people really that lost that they don't know what to do with one defective round of ammunition? Most if not all ranges have a "dud" can where you can place defective rounds of ammunition. I know a lot of shooters that own...

Typical conversation here I see. These discussions will continue as long as different pistol calibers are available. Everything though must be evaluated same as one does when buying anything. Years ago cops used to buy ballistic armor based on what the most likely threat they would encounter...

While there are other target model Smith and Wessons the model 52 set the bar for them all. At one point I had six of them all in -2 configuration. I now have only 2 left both with new(er) Clark barrels on them. They are always an enjoyable experience when I take one or both to the range. No...

Kind of makes sense now why CZ came out with their new Shadow 2 SAO Target model with either a 5" or 6" barrel and no optics cut. Looks like this type of shooting is iron sights only. The pistol has yet to hit the shores of the USA. I wonder what they have for restrictions in ammunition? Rick H

I can only speak for myself and my experience. The powder measure I sent back was a Redding pistol unit. I load under 3.0 grains for some pistol loads and the Redding didn't work as well as the Harrell's at that low end. Of course the Harrell's wasn't problem free either, but it did do better...

Like the OP I decided to give a Harrell's Pistol powder measure a try just for the speed and ease of charging my pistol loads. Before doing so I tried another premium name brand pistol powder measure and was really disappointed in it and sent it back. The Harrell's pistol powder measure works...
