    Brass frames from Ruger

    Hi Kevìn I picked this up about 4 yrs ago this frame is one that Ruger sold after production. I cleaned it a up good bit and done some file work for better fit on an old model this since photo was taken but you can see what looks like light cracks in the brass. I assume I’m this is what some...

    SPF: Beautiful Flatgate Single Six, Only Dropped Once

    The older I get and after neck surgery 6 yrs ago my grip isn’t what it used to be or my balance! I’ve have dropped a gun or two in the past the newer plastic ones doesn’t bother me but my Dan Wesson commander or my old model 41M I bought from WMG or other finely blued guns with good wood would...

    Lesson learned

    I stopped dry tumbling two years ago switching over to wet stainless steel chips, a couple of shots of lemon juice and dawn dish soap and water. My brass look as good or better than new until I have a senior moment mixing brass that can get inside of each other. It’s a PIA separating then there...

    yet, another new 6.5mm cartridge just when I thought it was

    I put together 2 AR Grendels this past year using Lilja Barrels. They both shoot under an inch with handloads. I taken 3 bucks and doe this year plus my grandson bagged his first deer with one of them. 3 of mine were 1 shot kills with the 123gr SST, on one I used 2 shots, my Grandsons buck was...

    Ruger PCC in 40 S&W

    I like 40S&W my cast load 1 to 20 lead alloy B10 hardness looks like this loose sand at 7 yds out of XD subcompact. 1 or 2 of these will do a lot of damage. If I have to confront body armor I hope my aim will make the difference. I hope to never have to find out.

    Why no Ruger American Ranch in 6.5 Grendel

    I have two mini 30’s that I like but they are collecting dust after I found the Grendel If Ruger would offer the mini 30 tactical in 6.5 Grendel and take the time put them out where they were reliable and accurate I believe they would sell a lot of them. I would love to re-barrel mine to Grendel...

    The PC Carbine is named wrong...

    Hi Joe, great review, I have the older PC 9 and love it. I may pick up the new version before long. Ruger built the PC9’s like a tank the one I have is very accurate.

    1911 Ltwt. Commander 9mm brass problem?

    Those three cases may have the glock bulge. A slight bulge that full length sizing doesn’t always remove. I’ve run across that bulge quite often when reloading mixed brass I’ve bought in bulk.

    Winchester Primer failures last week.

    Thanks guys time was short for me before leaving for work the evening I had the L Primer fail. Im be back home in 3 weeks and my next reloading session then will have me inspecting the primers before priming my cases. I've probably shot 5000 rds all hand loads in the past year without issue...

    This past month I had 3000 small pistol primers and 2000 large pistol primers received from an order. Loading several hundred rounds for 40 s&w and few hundred more 41 Magnum and 44 magnum. At the range I had one 44 Mag LP fail completely. Then SP In the .40 fizzled just enough to get the...
