I like to reload, for me it is part of the shooting process, shoot, clean reload repeat. I shoot 38sp/357 mag. , 9mm, 45acp, 45colt, 44sp and 44mag, 40 cal 5.56, 308, 7.62x39. It's the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

I enjoy shooting my Henry 38spl/357 with some mid ranch loads. But the 44spl /44 mag is fun but the mag with 240g hard cast bullets and a starting load of hp-38 will let you know it's a big bore.

a revolver is a good choice for woods carry, I carry a 44 spl loaded with hard case 240g bullets.

All I have are Henry's 22lr, 357/38, 44spl/44mag, and a 45 colt, I really like lever action guns, goes back to my youth watching all the cowboy TV shows and movies. They are fun to shoot.

I do open carry, but it's normally because I have to stop what I am doing and go get part or things my wants. My state is and open carry state, I do have my CPL. I have noticed that when I am open carrying no one seems to notice, except other gun owners, they will nod their head or give a thumbs...

I have about 1000 rounds loaded and stored in ammo boxes and I have 2500-3000 110g bt bullets on the shelf with about 2200 brass cases from Winchester. and plenty of powder. For rifle shooting I am using my lever action pistol calibers. Get close to my reserve primers. have plenty of 5.56 rounds...

I got to the range today, put a hundred round threw the EMP, had the same issues as every one is reporting toward the end there didn't seem to be as many faults. I used my reloads the bullet was a tampered flat point. I will run a couple hundred more rounds see if improves. If not I'll send it...

I own 5 9mm 1911, the one that is the most picky is the colt defender, The chamber only takes a perfectly size bullet and case, to long won't feed right, to short won.t eject. My reloads not work well in it. it will only fire Hornaday 124 grain XPT.

I have a 1911 compact in 45 ACP. It fires all the ammo I have fired, About every six months I shoot up my carry ammo and get fresh. As the compact is mostly my everyday carry I want to make sure it feeds and ejects every time. I use the factory mags and have added a couple of Kimber 7 rounds...

I purchased a EMP 4 bi-tone today, I was driving through a town in the next county and saw a True Value Hardware. So I stopped and saw the gun counter. they had several Springfield hand guns, I saw the EMP and walked out with it; and it was on sale, less then $900. I am taking it to the range...

I still shoot once a week, I don't shoot as many rounds but enough to stay proficient.

I have my reloading press on a small bench, that helps me keep thinks organized. Yhe only thing on the bench are the powder I am using the primer box the brass, and bullets my calipers, the box to collect the reloads and my recipe. the scales on a table next to the bench. I think keeping only...

My dog is a golden retriever, she loves everyone, she would be the dog that would show the bad guy where all the good stuff was then sit and beg for a treat.

I went into Cabela's today after my doctors visit the ammo was scars a few boxes of 357, 45 colt 44 mag. there were a few boxes of 5.56 ammo. Shelf after shelf of shot gun shells. I was looking for pistol primers. No 1000 primer boxes, they had a few box of 100 taped together. I was able to get...

I seen to stick to guns that have the same manual of arms, like SW 686, same grip, same trigger reach, 1911s ditto and I like the heft of the guns. Most SA pistols are about the same, just a plastic gun type of guy.
