Great info and guidance. Reloaded some using the tables from Hodgdon. 223, 62gr FMJ, H335 and I used CCI primers. Per their data, load range is 19.3 - 21.4. Taking Into consideration the military brass, I loaded at 19.8, sat the bullet to the cannalure, very slight crimp. Then made 15 more at...

Got me a load of nice LC brass. I deprimed and sized to .223 and trimmed to specs. Getting ready to reload em but I've heard that LC brass is thicker and as a result a reduced charge is required. If, true bout how much should I reduced the powder charge? 2%? Will be using H335. Thanks! :D

Yea, I was somewhat "relieved" when it arrived :D I think I'm gonna like it the more I see it. Definitely looks different. The way it feels in the hand was totally worth it compared to the factory grip. Felt like a different gun. Gonna bust the cherry this weekend. :shock: :D :P

Hope this works..... http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah84/taiboku/f9202f42-8057-4510-96ef-978588bf4c7c_zps20w5cegp.jpg

Got the new grip in today. Feels great (much better than stock). Verdict still out on the color but it's a shooter, not a looker :wink: :shock: :roll: :D

Yea I wasn't really excited with the color but the price was rite and being retired gotta pinch pennies :o gonna save up some mad money and get better looking grips later on. I can always save the green goblin grips hahahaha :D

Well did the disassembly and cleaning that you guys recommended. Followed the manual along with a little help from you tube. Was surprised how easy it was! Came apart real easy. Removed all the parts indicated in the owners manual and gave them a good cleaning, brushing and rinse with gun...

Ordered an SP101, 4.2 barrel, from BUDS. pistol came in the other day and picked it up today. Pistol looks nice but the trigger is HORRIBLE. Single action not too bad but really gritty, double action pretty heavy and gritty as well but can live with it. What I do have a problem with is the...

I hate trimming brass, especially when there is a lot to do. Looked at the trim-it, WFS (world finest trimmer), Giraud (real expensive) and the CTS trimmer. After much thought, I purchased the CTS in 223 and 6.8 SPC. Took me all of ten minutes to get the trimmer set up and started trimming...

Thanks for the advice. I just might black out the white dot and see if that helps. The range here is pretty dark on the line but extremely bright out on the range and, for me at least, this combo reaks havoc on my eyes. Gonna see about some nice prescitption shooting glasses that will give me...

Yup, busted her cherry real quick.... gun worked great BUT I had a few problems..can't see the white dot on the front sight. Maybe it's the ranges lighting (outdoor with a large eyebrow) or my eyes have really gone south (believe it to be a contributing factor). I was all over the place! The...

Not as bad as you might think.....of course I use a magnum recoil shoulder pad but when I'm hunting, I don't feel a thing. :D the max load for the 260 gr H4350 is 83.5 still got some room to play but why fix what ain't broke!

Got 5 boxes on order plus got a couple more bottles of the H4350 yesterday bringing the total to 5. Those partitions really put the hammer on those alaskan bullwinklesauruses. :P

My 375 Ruger Alaskan loves 82gr of H4350, CCI large magnum primers and the Nosler 260gr partition. This load will give me less than an inch @ 100 all day long. Was digging thru my bullet stash and I found a box of 260 gr accubonds. Loaded up some with the same formula as the partitions ( double...

Thanks for all the advice...the SR9C just got a big brother.....an SR45! Can't wait to get to the range with it..... :D
