Very Nice. I remember the first time I shot a 1911 .... Oh, the memories of my first experience with a single action 1911 are fond memories indeed. ... EEEEEEEEKKKKK! I just remembered the first time I picked up a glock .... Oh, I think I just puked a little in my mouth. Flip (in case you're wonderi...

When you change handgun primers do you

1) Rework the load from scratch
2) Check charts to determine if your new primer is similar to the new one
(please be specfic about how you do this)
3) Try your load as is

Thanks in advance

Well, I guess that's 1

If you all will remember, some time ago, I posted a question about loading Berry's 124gr HP plated bullets with a friend for his XD using published OAL's and they didn't work. Recently, I had some time to do some more digging and found a forum post where someone said they sent an email to Berry's re...

Bullseye, Unique, and 231 are listed for all three calibers. Due to the fact that 231 is a ball powder, it should meter better and more consistently through powder measures. No listing for AA#7 for 40 and 45 - a bit too slow burning. Hi Sam, I'm looking at their website for their reloading data. He...

Thanks for the responses so far. Again, this is for paper punching so I'm not so worried about anything hot but more for reasonable accuracy. Forgot to mention ... I realize that I'll be giving up some peformance in one of the three calibers depending on powder. If you have a suggestion, could you m...

Hi All, Just wondering what powder is reasonable for a newb to load into 9, 40, -AND- 45? I'm considering it to load for me and let a buddy use the same powder setup. I see some data that AA No 7 is viable but am wondering if there is any reason to be wary of loading the same powder for all three? I...

Seriously though ... I'm assuming this one can be sold in MN?

Were you thinking of the Chiappa 1911 22?

I did a quick Google search and found the following reviews for Sig 1911's .... sounds like they're well put together and MIM free: Review Links: http://averagejoeshandgunreviews.blogspot.com/2008/04/sig-revolution-c3-heres-thumbnail.html http://www.gunsandammo.com/conten...

Are those flame clouds I see brewing on the horizon? I think there's a whole HOARD of 1911 fans headed your way.

A reason to carry something more compact than a full-sized weapon (say gov't 1911) ... 1) Comfort vs. larger weapons + 2) Not such a big difference in stopping power according to Chuck Hawks - 9mm Cor-Bon +P: 1st Shot Stopping % = 91 - 45 ACP Federal Hydra-Shok 230gr.JHP: Stopping % = 94 IMHO (donni...

I'll put this a polite quick death, get a glock. There we're done! Why is it that some folks are fixed on one brand being the best for E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E. I've handled Glocks and they just feel like crap in my hands. I really like another brand of handgun but don't tell everyone that unless they buy t...
