I've posted that I'm done buying firearms, .. that I've got more than I can shoot on a regular basis already. Both long guns, & esp. handguns, ( and esp 1911's,) in a variety of cals & sizes. Even have a 1911 Dbl stack 45 ( a Para P-14) mine must be defective, 'cause it hasn't caused me ANY...

After reading on a local gun forum about a copper composite bullet made by Inceptor, I tried some & liked them, a lot. Even posted about them here : https://www.1911fanatics.com/threads/something-new-today-loading-a-65-gr-9mm-bullet-the-arx-65gr-by-inceptor.33318/ I have tried these ARX...

I've been using ball type powders for many years, because i prefer the consistency I get when using them thru my powder dispensers. I use 2 different dispensers: Handgun rds. are charged with my Dillon powder measure, which uses an adjustable sliding bar to measure amount of powder dispensed...

I've been buying powder in larger quantities for many years. Discovered the economy of bulk buying, as well the the security of having a lot of powder from the same Lot..so no concerns with lot-to-lot variability. I'll buy a 1# container of a powder, to give it a try & see how well it works. I...

Have been transferring information (saved files) from an old computer to my new one. A slow process, as I get caught up in reading what is actually in some of these files. I ran across a recipe for “Ed’s Red”… which is a great inexpensive general firearms cleaner. As everone here isn’t as old as...

Some info for anyone wondering about Flag Day.. https://www.history.com/news/what-is-flag-day

Was going thru my garage & ran across a small box of 44 mag cast bullets w/ gas checks. I recall gas checks were used so one could load cast bullets to greater velocities than a cast bullet would normally be loaded, w/o having leading issues in the rifling. These g/c pills were given to me, many...

I've been loading for many years, and have developed my "systems" for how to load Handgun & rifle calibers. I enjoy the speed & accuracy provided by my handgun rounds loaded of my Dillon 450 (older, pre-550) progressive loading press. When I started loading rifle rounds, after learning that...

I recenty added a new rifle to my collection..a Remingtom Mod. 700 CDL SF . I'd never heard of a CDL, or a SF designation for a Remington 700 rifle. ( A CDL is a nicer version of the BDL, the S = stainless steel & the F = fluted barrel) so, my new rifle is an all stainless steel, fluted...

Had just finished another great book by Stephen Hunter, his latest, a trilogy of novellas featuring the 3 generations of the Swagger clan, titled "Front Sight". it seemed each story was bested by the story that followed..a great read IMO. That book wasn't the source of my latest info find, as...

I was wondering if this news story was spread to other areas of the country, as it was quite an impressive display. Anyone see or hear on your news about the fire & explosion in Clinton Township Monday night ? Monday night, I turned on the news to see a fireball shooting high into the night...

I'm posting this in the event that someone here is paying for PIP coverage on their auto coverage and they may not need to pay this. Maybe better stated, they can drop PIP ( personal injury protection ? ) if they are on Medicare, and have Part A and Part B coverage. finally, a benefit for being...

something new happened @ the reloading bench

On a local firearm forum I was reading in a thread about how someone said they'd never buy an open ( unsealed) container of gunpowder. Their rationale / reasoning was the fear that the container held something other than what the label said, or that the container may have a mix of powders, or...

Saw this on another forum & with all the recent conversation on the Tisas line on this forum, thought I should post it here.. https://tisasusa.com/tisas-safety-recall-2024-0001/
