    9mm Defensive Ammo Weight Preference?

    I recently switched to 124 g FMJ RN from Rocky Mountain reloading. I have cycled about 3k through my carry gun with zero problems. Just bought another 2K for under $100/1000. Before this I used 115 g for years. No problems with them either. The reason I switched was I had read that IDPA...

    Random stuff you have repaired.

    Let us know how the rebuild kit from eBay works out and maybe a link to the specific item. I bought a couple cheap Chinese rebuild kits from eBay and was not pleased with the results. They were very “sloppy” or loose feeling. Yeah, they worked okay but I am always worried that when I put a...

    Ouch.

    Glad all are okay. At our outdoor range about a week ago there was a blood trail from the range back to the parking area. When I saw this post i started to connect the two.

    Case tumbler

    I am running the crushed walnut bought from harbor freight. It is in the area with the sandblasters. I add a little automotive polish and tumble about 2 hours. They shine like jewelry, this does not clean the insides but I don’t think that is needed. My plan is to fill the insides with...

    powder and primer storage

    I have a pretty good supply of components and am now using primers purchased in 2019. If the wife ever found out how much powder I have, she would immediately call the fire department. I store primers and powder in climate controlled area but away from each other. I try to avoid ammo boxes or...

    CFE Pistol powder

    Been losing CFE pistol for 9mm for a while. Load it for 115 g and 124 g bullets I like the performance as good or better than any other powder. I like it so much I got an 8lb jug when it was cheap and plentiful.

    FREE SMALL PISTOL PRIMERS

    Using your equation reloading is clearly not for you. My circumstances are different ... first off I don't buy brass. I get all the brass I can ever use picking it up at the outdoor range. I literally have 5 gallon buckets full of brass in all different calibers. Secondly, I bought...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    I uncovered the Dillon 650 and made 300 rounds of 9 mm this morning. With the case feeder and the auto index feature the 650 makes 300 rounds pretty quickly. Including setup and clean up after it took less than an hour. Going to get another 300 in the ammo can tomorrow.

    Today was my first time. When was yours?

    I doubt there was bullets, powder or primers? Just parts and dies and only rcbs?

    First hand experience: S&B/IMI, 9mm & 45ACP?

    Wow I had no idea ammo was this expensive. I have not shot a factory loaded round in about 8-9 years. I reload everything even ammo in my concealed carry & self defense guns. stocked up on components during the Trump administration when everything was cheap and plentiful. Recently restocked...

    Let’s see your range bags!

    I have the midway bag also. Been using it for at least 7 years. I beat the heck out of bags and ruined several before I got the midway version.

    Federal Black box bulk .22lr... $59.99/1100 rounds?

    I had multiple brands of 22 lr in storage in a non climate controlled garage for about 10 years when we lived in hot humid Houston TX. All were in metal USA made ammo boxes with good rubber seals. Many times there were several brands mixed in a single ammo box. I have had a few failures on...

    Show your swag!

    mine is a farm truck. In case anyone asks you can get 34 bales on an F150. There are only 29 on here in this picture but I took the pic while I was figuring out how to throw a 60lb bale that high without permanent damage to my old body.

    Hearing Aids. Info Needed.

    I got mine at Costco four years ago. Half the price of other places came with a 2 year guaranteed. They did a hearing test first and told me what frequency I could not hear and custom made the aids to amplify just that frequency. They work perfectly and might have saved my marriage. Every time...

    I put the lock nut on the bottom of the tool head on several calibers and it works great.

    Cheapest coated 158gr 38/357 bullet?

    I load 148 gr wad cutters for 38 plinking. Super accurate, cheap and easy to load. And they make nice clean rounds holes in paper. Looks like a hole punch. Load both hollow base wad cutter and double end WC. Several companies offer them. Missouri bullet has them for about $80.00 per thousand...

    Cross country moving fairly large gun collection

    several years ago I moved from Houston to Oklahoma. The moving company would not take fuel, ammo, gunpowder, primers, firearms fertilizer, or house plants. I had a pickup loaded with 10’s of thousands of rounds of ammo, at least 50 lbs of gunpowder, the entire contents of a guns safe, a...
