Re: Bevel vs flat base

I'm following. I've been loading Brazos 180gr flat-base coated bullets, but those are no longer available. Would be nice to find another supplier with an identical bullet of equal quality.

Re: Accurize vs MantisX vs Scatt vs Trace

I am primarily an NRA Precision Pistol shooter, but I also train with 10 meter AP in my garage to improve my slow fire skills. I recently bought a Mantis X10 Elite and I like it a lot. I believe it provides MUCH less statistical data than does the SCATT. However, it does provide several things I fin...

Re: Indoor range - what are you shooting at ?

The indoor range at which I train goes to 25 yards so I typically shoot at that distance. When load testing I typically use some NRA 10 meter air pistol targets because the black is very small. This target because I believe in the "aim small shoot small" principle. I generally focus on one...

New LP50 Grips

I've had a Steyr LP50 for some time now and I've been practicing sustained fire with it. It came with a large anatomical grip that was too big for me. My purchase also included a 1911 grip to emulate my other target pistols. However, the 1911 grip that came with the gun was significantly heavier tha...

Re: MatchGun MG2 Extractor Maintenance

Well, all the above links (those with "studio" in the text string) take one to a screen intended to initiate a new channel.

After a brief search I found this video which I believe is the one being discussed:

Re: Advice on S&W model 41

We shoot monthly matches from March through November, weather permitting. I clean mine about twice a season. I remove the grips and remove the barrel assembly from the frame. I scrub the frame feed ramp, barrel feed ramp, and extractor with a nylon brush. I also run a .22 caliber brush through the b...

Re: The new Margolin thread

Re: Over filling cylinder

If one has a 300 BAR cylinder, shouldn't a regulator be used to ensure against overfilling? If so, where would one buy such a device?

Clean pellets? Lube them? Please school me on this. I've never heard of anyone doing this. Why and how, please.

Once again, thanks for the advice. It looks like I have a fair amount of work ahead of me. I have 1K of new Starline brass that I plan to segregate by length. I've never had brass that comes close to SAMMI max length, but I believe that consistent lengths will contribute to consistent crimps. I may ...

Hello all, I have been shooting BE for a long time, but as a duffer looking to have fun as opposed to winning the National Championship. Having said that, I hope to acquire a new Rock River Arms wad gun with their 1.5" guarantee later this year. I cannot afford to buy the commercial ammo with w...
