First off thank everyone for all their help so far. You’re all wonderful.
I’m wanting to start loading some plinking rounds for my little 38 special.
In the past few months I’ve used a lot of acme and Berry’s. I like both. But wanted to start my 38 special journey with acme.
I purchased some...
I don’t shoot a lot. Maybe 1-2 times a week in winter at range and maybe 3 times a week in summer.
I primarily shoot 9mm. Maybe 200 rounds in a shooting session.
Recently got into reloading. I’m enjoying it. I suspect I have years to learn yet.
I would like to get into precision rifle at...
Problem is my eyes and being able to obtain a focus.
My Cajunized P07 is probably one of my favorite compact guns.
Curious about suggestions for sights for the P07. You can’t get it optic ready that I’m aware.
I did switch out to the front Dawson Precision fiber optic green sight. I kept...
I’ve been watching several videos on how to determine OAL on YouTube.
I’ve seen several doing plunk test. Then tapping on it while it’s in chamber to make sure it doesn’t stick or ride the lands.
I’ve also seen one video that demonstrates how to actually calculate what the OAL should be...
Everytime I load, I seem to end out with further questions. So sorry about that. I’m getting better but have a feeling this is going to take a long time to be happy with my loads.
I was using 124 RNHB Berry’s Bullets.
I thought i would try the acme bullets to save a few buck and see how they...
In my 9mm, 124gn recipe I took from the Hornady Manual.
The powder I’m using is Power Pistol. When I go to their website, I see a significant different charge weight.
Which do you follow?
Also, does the case and primer have an impact on charge weight as I notice the recipe lists specific...
As some of you know I’m new to reloading. I have been working a lot through trial and error along with help from you guys.
I have struggled quite a bit getting going. This past week I really took my time. Broke it up into several evenings. I measured every cartridge, inspected loads, paid...
So far my reloading experience has been pretty positive. I have noticed I’m not going to the range as much because I’m trying to figure this out. To date I’m only working on 9mm. It’s exciting when I turn out a batch of good cartridges.
Regarding the plunk test vs the caliber gauge, I have...
I finally have gotten a setup started. It been fun so far and has taken a lot of time and energy to obtain the equipment I wanted. I did not purchase a straight up kit but instead read a lot and decided to get pieces one at a time.
After discussion with several of you I decided to go with a...
Hello,
I do think I am actually improving on wrenching down and locking my grip in. However, I’m also noticing I really struggle lasting long due to strength.
I notice on several guns, the manufacture provides a textured area on the front of the tripper frame for a finger.
Do you lose or...
I have noticed that there is truly a ton of information on this thread that is helpful.
Actually so much, I don’t really know where to start. Kind of like when I first started working on my own guns, I didn’t even intend to get into working on them much but as it turns out, I love it. The more...
Quick question. I am very new to shooting USPSAmatches. I have only shot one match.
My son and I share a heavy DH3. It’s great for him. But I noticed that, while it’s possible to share a gun, it’s far from ideal.
I do have several other pistols older than when dots came out. With my age I’m...
