I shoot c358-165rf from mp molds out of my 9mm. Not enough penetration with the hp pins, so I use the solids in the 9mm. They weigh 167 after pc. No feeding or other issues. Also the most...

Are you using cases with a step inside? I never had that problem in my sr9 or glock42. I've shot thousands of that boolit.

Guys. I did NOT kill this snake. I wanted to let Steve know his post had an impact. I WOULD HAVE a few days ago, thinking I was erring on the side of caution.
I'm resolved to make a greater...

Two days ago, I'd have shot this guy just to be sure. King snake? I think it is. Not sure enough to get any closer though. lol

They're always going under my siding. I figured that was bad. I'm from the north until the last few years. Some of the creatures here are new to me.
You inspired me to read a little. I've...

I've been thinking about the wear & tear on my brass since you posted this. I got to thinking that rice load doesn't weight much (14.5gn in my load) and there's no recoil. Is wax, glue, crimping,...

I tested some mustard seed. Worked ok, but the pattern opened up a little fast with my revolver. Might work for you, though.

Could try covering it for the first 20 minutes in the oven. The steam keeps the crust from getting tough as fast. It helps with sourdough. I've never made banana bread.

I have a little box that holds 13 .357 mag rounds. It fits perfectly in my watch pocket. Keeps the dirt off and keeps them from mixing with whatever else is in my pockets or getting lost. It's...

I was out behind the garage, feeding the chickens, when I heard it. Faint, at first. Just nudging the edge of my consiousness. As I finished up and shut the coop door the sound came into focus. ...

The "edit" option in the dropdown doesn't exist in all versions of windows. I wanted to keep it as close to "works for everybody" as possible.

You are not crazy. Or, we both are. I have witnessed this.
It's like there's a spiral pathway, such that it only leaks when turning in the correct direction.

Between the cheap primers and the powder I would have eventually tossed, it's cheaper than plinking with rimfire. And more fun than shooting cans.
I spent less than $2 so far and got hours of...

Tried my hand at this a few days back. First shot dropped one. Then I spent a dollar on primers just making noise and figured that was enough of that.
But then, my order of those Argentinian...

A.K.A. carpenter bees. Other bees can handle pollinating without drilling holes in your deck and anything else they can get at. They're horrible little creatures.

It may be possible that it could prevent clogging by the t-shirt, jeans, jacket, towel, or whatever you have over your gel for testing. I've read about some HPs getting clogged and not opening up...

Yes. A few years back, a member posted some testing he did. There was no difference. He even took it a step farther and filled the hollow points with pc on one batch. The boolits did not care.

Saying it multiple times won't make it more true. It's too bad you have a hard time with it. Most of us don't. Nobody is trying to change your mind. Do what works for you. But some of us feel...
