And many thanks for that help Cobb.

45swc....no problems at all

What overall length do you use? I need a different overall length than my 200 gr. SWC plated bullets than the OL I use for my lead or jacketed 200 gr SWC.

I tried Rainer in 45 ACP SWC. They seemed to vary somewhat. I had a few problems getting that load to work. For a plated bullet, I like Berry a lot more. They seem much more uniform and the plating may be a little thicker. Again, only 45 ACP 200 gr SWC in both.

Rather than a pellet gun have you consider some CCI CB caps, or Aquila primer only 22 caliber rounds. They won't operate a semi-auto. All of these are as quiet as a pellet rifle. Thay are accurate at out to about 30 feet. I don't think they will stop a squirrel, but will rabbits, birds, gophers etc.

Can you give more specifics: dates, times, membership requirements?

"Carry Friendly" Yesterday my wife and I stopped in the Owatonna Cabela's (we live just south of Owatonna so I get there often). I noticed that they changed their "check your guns sign". The sign basically says all firearms must be checked and have a trigger lock applied at the i...

MN Statute 97B.045 Transportation of Rifles, Shotguns and BB Guns in a motor vehicle

I just purchased a Springfield EMP. Nice gun. Great looks. So far it shoots fine. The stock magazine (9 round) protrudes beyond the bottom of the grip. I would like a magazine (8 round OK) that fits flush with the base of the grip. I have asked Springfield and looked at the MecGar site and they do n...

I never regret spending the extra money for the 650. At that time you could not buy a case feeder for the 550 but could for the 650. I didn't buy on...
