I need to buy a die set now...only load 45 acp and 45 colt currently. Should I use 158 gr bullets in the 38 sp cases for plinking?

Thanks guys Got it home. Looks like a target model, pinned barrel, wider hammer, thumb groove on grip. Had $300 in my pocket, seller happy, I think I am also.

2K911xx. Normal blueing wear on muzzle and frame, not a collectible, it was a carry and use firearm.

Bovine excrement Another boring day for the retail clock watchers, stories repeated often enough take on an aura of legitimacy for the feeble minded.

thanks to all for the courtesy of replying Understood. Fire next small batch from rest. Walk before running.

+1 Correct, was rushing to close range and over to trap field for Thursday night shoot. Chart says too much trigger finger and squeezing grip while firing, True. Did the taper according to Lee 4 die instructions... Want to use them all! 3.6 to 4.0 was load data...couldn't get a consistent throw...

First 50+/- loads with lee challenger kit for 9 mm. Shot from 10 yards 5 rounds at a time concentrating on minute of paper plate...probably 5-10 seconds per 5 rounds. 3.7 gr titegroup, 124 gr rn hitek coated from MBC, 1.10 oal. plunked ok,CCI small pistol primer, light 1/2 turn on lee factory...

not enough room sometimes Too many deer...most every other year the black bear females have twins. This one smelled bacon and eggs We have a seep spring at 2200 feet that keeps them around

agreed I use to live between Laramie and Cheyenne...tough to pound a sod stake there, probably a log or post would do the trick

Shield +1 Shoots as well as my M&P 9 w/apex FSS and my 1911 govt 45acp

Thanks to Rastoffs challenges I ran out of "vote for me" signs and holders. I think I got it down as cheap as it can go buying your supplies. Qty (1) 1 1/2" sch40 10 ft cost = 5.59 Qty (4 ) 1 1/2 sch40 tee cost 1.96 each = 7.84 Qty (1 ) bundle 6 furring strips 1x2x8 = 7.02 Total with tax 21.53...

when did you start living in my guest room? Agree...It is a tool/sporting equipment with consequences. Why are you fondling it/ checking the trigger on the couch/kitchen table/bedroom, etc. The loaded weapon is in its holster secure on your body. All others are unloaded at the range...

+100 100% agree

bought from small local shop Was going to order from Quantico Tactical and wait for delivery at $391.14 inc tax. Stopped by my small local dealer he just got a couple of 9mm no safety. With my cash discount it was $435.00 out the door that day no waiting and included a Tagua leather BH 3 1010...

I will try again this weekend! New Shield 9mm, M&P FS 9mm with Apex FSS, GI 1911 45acp stock Looks like best chance is with the 1911.
