    For those of you who haven't seen it, guess what's on the cover of the latest AMERICAN RIFLEMAN. This is an easy one...

    .45 ACP cast target loads

    It seems like I intermittently work on trying to improve my .45 ACP cast target loads. Each venture into this realm often turns into several weeks of load development and shooting. For a long time, my favorite was the SAECO/Redding #069 200 grain SWC, a copy of the H&G #68. I had a real #68 at...

    Springfield M1A comments

    I've had an interest in these lately, but know almost nothing about them. I'm not a warrior, don't want one for defense or an end of the world situation and don't suffer from paranoia. I don't want a "truck" gun; not exactly sure what that is and I'm not going to buy a truck. I enjoy shooting at...

    Powder Valley primers

    I haven't compared primer prices nor have I bought any recently, but a Powder Valley email today shows what I would guess are some pretty good primer prices (not for those still waiting for the $30 per thousand primers).

    What's the story on this? Strictly a fad or something meaningful?

    H&K with cast bullets

    A few weeks ago I inquired here about shooting cast bullets in an H&K .45. I've since bought an H&K USP 45 Expert with an adjustable rear sight. Cast bullet loads have been at least slightly more accurate than two commercial jacketed ammos I tried. Overall, the pistol is very accurate, even more...

    Federal American Eagle 230 ball vs. Winchester Service Grade 230 ball

    I usually shoot cast only in handguns but had some of each of these factory ammos on hand. I didn't measure groups sizes, but at 25 yards bullseye style, the Winchester was far more accurate than the Federal, almost like a target load. I had anticipated they would be similar in accuracy. Muzzle...

    H&K .45s

    Any comments from owners of currently manufactured H&K .45s regarding accuracy? How about cast bullet use?

    Ship My Gun

    For those of you who have used this service, is there some provision where you can request "adult signature required"? The gunsmith I'm shipping to requires this so a package won't be left at the door if he's not at his shop. I couldn't find anything about this in the Ship My Gun website, but...

    Winchester WST powder

    Many of you are probably familiar with Winchester WST powder but I had not used any until today. I made up a few .38 Special wadcutter loads with the H&G #50 cast design as well as some .45 ACP target loads using the SAECO copy of the H&G #68 200 grain cast SWC. I have much more shooting to do...

    handgun powder replacements

    Assuming Alliant powders really are powders of the past, I have been considering replacements for Bullseye and #2400 for handgun chamberings for which I use only my own cast bullets. Unique was easy to replace; I did that some time ago. For loading 9mm (seldom load or shoot that one anymore)...

    new Python 2.5" recoil

    I've fired at least 200 rounds of handloaded .357 Magnum ammo through a new 2.5" stainless Python. This is a bulky and heavy revolver, but it's not uncomfortable to shoot with magnum ammo like all of the J-frame .357s I've had experience with. I can shoot a full box of magnum ammo with the Colt...

    Dillon presses

    Not wanting to sidetrack the current Dillon SBD, I'll ask a few question here regarding Dillon presses in general. It appears there are quite a few Dillon users on this forum. If you loaded six or more different handgun cartridges, some using small primers and some large, what would be a good...
