      October Gun Shows

      Went yesterday with my nephew. Thought it was a decent show, lots of reloading supplies at fair prices, which is what I went for. One vendor was a little on the high side, the other 3 that I saw had powder/primers/bullets about the same as I could get online. Saw some nice older Smith and Wessons.

      New to 45 ACP

      CFE pistol works well in 45 acp, 6.0 to 6.2 is about right for 230gr plated. Start your loads a bit lower and work up, I found the higher loads gave me the best accuracy. Use a mild taper crimp with plated bullets. CFE is not my favorite for 45, though I do use it but not always. Prefer...

      What's with Berrys Bullets?

      Cabelas in DE had Berry's and Rainier in stock earlier this week, picked up a few boxes and more primers. They also had lots of powder on the shelves, though I can't exceed my MD limit:innocent0 so I had to pass. My thoughts are what you save in shipping is more than the gas.

      DMSC Has a three gun range

      Three gun setup must be recent, haven't been down there for a few months. I'm headed there next week to test some reloads, I'll have to check it out. As far as I know they still had the 500yrd bench.

      Really like WST in 45ACP

      WST is my preferred powder for 45 range loads, been using it for a few years now.:thumbsup: 4.3-4.4 under a 230gr LRN, or 4.8-4.9 for 200gr LRN does the trick. Also works very well in 40 S&W, less muzzle flip. And, getting 1100-1200 loads per lb certainly doesn't hurt.

      How did you start reloading?

      Started reloading in the late 90's, mostly self taught thru books and some advise from a few fellow shooters. And I still take advise:D What really got me started was a gift from one of my friends neighbors. He was an elderly gent who was downsizing to a retirement community. Cleaning out his...

      45ACP primer size

      This, and remember you have an election year coming up. Last one large pistol primers were scarce, the ones you could find way overpriced.

      Handgun Powders

      Another thumbs up for WST:thumbsup: Works great in 45acp and 40s&w. my brother loads 9mm with it also gets good results. Recently I've been trying CFEPistol and it looks promising. There was a lot of it around at the Chantilly shows recently. You need to have a few options when your...

      Bushmaster Uppers?

      I have that exact upper on a Spikes lower, and really like it. Lots of ammo thru it and not a single issue. With a 1x4 scope and 55gr handloads (Bulk Hornady SP) it keeps under 1 moa off sandbags. It is HBAR, but I like the balance with the rifle-length handguard. Changed that out to a Magpul...

      Nation's Gun Show 2-4 January 2015

      Just got back, a nice wet ride home:sad20: But, did find some pistol powder:D Lots of CFE-pistol around, I got a few lbs of that. Found ONE lb of Bullseye! T and T said he had a case or two of it, sold out Friday nite. Guy in the back had a 16 lb keg of Bullseye, wanted $250 for it, didn't...
