    Servicios y Aventuras SPP and 40 S&W

    As with many others I picked up 3 bricks of the SyA primers and made up some 40 S&W ammo. Made it to the range for the first time this year. No excuses. Anyway, I brought 2 of my 40s with me for testing. My Springfield EMP and my new Taurus TH40C. The test rounds were really good, accurate, very...

They fired and cycled well through a new build 7.5” AR Pistol, as well as my previous 10.5” AR Pistol. Loaded from multiple magazines, shot well, bolt lock back every...

    Primed 40 S&W Cases - New Brass - Iffy Primers

    Came across a possible deal that comes with a caveat. https://www.evergladesammo.com/brass/40-cal-new-primed-brass-clearance-1000ct.html The brass is new, the primers are installed, the primers may be 90% effective. With a primer there's no way to know which may be defective. Everglades...

    Factory Mags for My EMP 40S&W Finally Shipped

    Was particularly good to see that the 8rd factory 40 S&W magazines for my EMP shipped on Friday. I couldn’t resist placing an order through the website and take advantage of the 90 window for special pricing when registering a new firearm. However, I didn’t expect it to take 3 months. Well as...

All initial testing done with inert (Dummy) rounds to check feeding, magazine loading, and ability to take apart via impact puller. Due to the break potential of frangible bullets...

    Not Ideal, But Ordered Some 38 Super Bullets

    I am not necessarily desperate, but indications are that I will be if there’s no improvement in product availability, so as **** Jagger sang, You can’t always get what you want! I ordered 1000 bullets, 38 Super, 121gr JHP .356” diameter. I’m guessing if I can load Berry’s plated, which are .356”...

    First Range Trip - FDE Hellcat

    I can’t believe that I actually made it through the weekend without a range trip. Finally, I gathered up my Hellcat and 3 other 9mm pistols (Honor Defense Honor Guard, Taurus G2C, and Kimber Micro 9), and hit the range. Naturally, first course was 2 boxes of Sellior & Bellot 115gr FMJ. I had...

    My First Electronic Powder Dispenser - Frankfort Arsenal’s Intellidropper

    After a year of loading frustration that began with my ill-advised purchase of 16lbs of Universal, a powder I had never used, my wife insisted I use my Amazon gift cards to buy this: So who am I to refuse? Undoubtedly my best purchase since my adventure began 2 1/2 years ago. Of course the...

    Trying New Bullets and Loads For .300 AAC Blackout

    Thankfully, my indoor range, of which I am a monthly member, is open for 2 hours a day for shooting with no public access. It’s a fairly inconvenient time, 10am to 12pm, but it’s open, and that let me start out some new loads for my 2 AR pistols in .300 AAC Blackout, There are no projectiles...

    A Newbie Lesson in Making Loading Assumptions - .40 S&W, But Applicable to Other Calibers

    I recently received a new .40 S&W projectile from Everglades Ammo, a 165gr JHP. I’ve been really happy with their JHP projectiles for .380 ACP and 9mm Luger, so I was really anxious to test these 165gr JHP in my new Springfield EMP 40. I’ve run a number of powders under my standard Berry’s 155gr...
