    The Science Behind Lyman Reloading

    I love this particular load in my 38 snubs. It is wickedly effective. The hollow base wadcutters made of pure swaged lead are still available from Hornady (and probably others). I try to always keep a box or two of 'em loaded up on hand. The only "gotcha" in today's world is finding a...

    hodgdon 2026 reloading manual available....$14.99

    Once again, since I just joined today, I am late to the party on this... But.... Midway USA is running a "special offer" on many items that constitutes a "free" copy of Hodgdon's 2025 (not 2026) manual. For the tightwads amongst us... Not a bad deal if you're gonna order something from them...

    Monarch ammo from Academy

    I know I'm late to this party, but thought I'd add my 2 cents worth... I was shooting some Monarch 45 ACP bulk ammo, 230gr FMJ and had a squib that I failed to catch (didn't have a shooting buddy with me that day). The bullet lodged about half way down the barrel. Because I was also...

    Apology and introduction...

    I appreciate all the "Welcome" s. How old am I ? Let's just say that I got to vote FOR Ronald Regan and AGAINST Jimmy Carter, but I wasn't quite old enough at the time to participate in the festivities in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Y'all can do the math.

    Apology and introduction...

    I apologize to all for "jumping in" and posting without introduction myself. I looked around here for a "new member introduction" thread and didn't spot one, so I'll post one here... I'm an "old geezer" who's been a lifelong firearm enthusiast. My particular areas of interests are "all over...

    Has anyone here ever.... ?

    That would be one use for a chamber cast. I've seen the use of a CerroSafe chamber casting recommended by custom die makers as a method of providing precise chamber dimensions. It's also useful to help identify (or verify) what a gun with a "mystery chambering" is actually chambered for. I'm...

    Has anyone here ever.... ?

    I'm eternally curious about how resizing dies manipulate the brass and I'm constantly in search of "the perfect die" for whatever cartridge / rifle combo that I'm focused on at the moment. It is a matter of constant fascination for me to compare various dies by various makers, all of which...
