    No Space to Reload?

    I understand when someone doesn't want to reload, but I can't understand the excuse that one doesn't have the space. When I first started reloading with a single-stage press, we lived in an apartment with three rooms and a full bathroom. At a yard sale, I bought a well-used wooden cabinet with...

    Past S&W Factory Repair

    A couple of days ago I shot an old buddy's S&W model 19. The double-action trigger pull is smoooooth! He has had the gun for over 50 years. When he was a young man he shot a lot of magnum ammo through it and it loosened up. He sent it in to S&W to have it reconditioned and hasn't shot it very...

    Hard Trigger Pull on Chiefs Special

    I took my S&W model 60 shooting last Thursday. The trigger pull was very heavy. When I got home to clean it, I discovered the reason. The cylinder was not turning freely. I took off the yoke and cleaned all the parts. I noticed that although I always use what I think are quality lubricants, that...

    Cheers to Dillon

    Dillon has had some major telephone and computer glitches. My Dillon 550 upper arm link pins (one solid and one hollow) began "walking out" while I was reloading. I contacted Dillon and they said to send it in. BTW when you send in a press, they want you to remove all the small parts, i.e...

    Sig P 365 Lima Laser Switch Fix

    Ever since I bought the Sig Lima365 Laser for my Sig P365, I have had a devil of a time getting it to activate with my normal grip. I was just about to give up on it and toss it, but I have come up with a simple solution that works. I had an old racing bicycle rubber inner tube laying around...

    Yaqui Slide

    I'm considering an all leather Yaqui slide holster for an Officer's Model 1911. I figure that it would also double for a full size 1911. Anyone have any experience in wearing one day to day and have any pros and cons regarding the holster?

    Dillon Service for 650

    The other day, I figured out some parts I needed for my Dillon XL 650. I bought the press used and have used it a lot in the many years I've owned it. I went to Dillon's website and used their message system. I described the parts with part numbers I needed and even during these times of...

    Dillon 450 Roller Handle

    Does anyone make a roller handle for a Dillon 450? I upgraded my 450 decades ago to a 550. Everything works for the 550 except the Dillon roller handle. The hole in the press linkage for the handle is different for the 450.

    9mm Powder Coated Bullets Not Accurate?

    I've been reloading for decades, but I'm always learning. I've been searching for a 9x19 load that is economical and reasonably accurate. I've been shooting Acme and Brazos powder coated bullets with different powders. Both don't shoot that well at 25 yards compared to factory JHP ammo. The...

    The Dumbing Down of Handgun Shooting

    I really am tired of seeing groups, yes they are groups (shotguns shoot patterns) of handguns being fired from 7 yards and less. Many of those groups are even fired from a rest with longer barreled guns. It doesn't really show me of what the gun is capable, the ammo or shooter. I suppose with so...

    Model 19-3 Problem

    This 19-3 revolver seems to not lock up on one or more charge holes. 6-10 rounds out of 100 didn't go bang. When I checked one round that didn't ignite, the primer had a very light hit, off center. The other primers had good deep hits. There is also evidence that the firing pin is enlarging the...

    Sharia Law

    I'm following a thread about tribal laws and native Americans. It was stated that Indiana Reservations were a "world to themselves" and different tribes have different tribal laws. It was also stated that tribal laws weren't enforceable for those not native Americans. With some communities...
