  1. Reloading ?s

    The single stage is good but............if you are getting into reloading get a Lee Turret Press. In the beginning use it as a single stage. As you become educated and confident, you can put all the dies in the tool head. Buy a four holer. Later you can get a powder dispenser that dumps powder...

  2. looking for someone to reload my 50ae ammo

    TS, there is liability galore lurking for a non-commercial loader in reloading for someone. I reload for no one. A few are invited to come over and load some for themselves.

  3. DIY 1911 accuracy job.

    Fellas, we may not use the GGer but there is a lot out there that is looking for the new mouse trap. And for some of the buyers, it probably helped a bunch. Me, I would drive down to Lexington (NC) and visit 1911Tuner.

  4. DIY 1911 accuracy job.

    I believe I would opt for an old "fix". I cannot get comfortable with the picture of adjusting the screws and the barrel lugs being moved away from the slide lugs. "The Group-Gripper was designed to be an inexspensive alternative to fitting a match barrel. About 90% of the time they work...

  5. DIY 1911 accuracy job.

    I understand that the task for the link is to pull down the barrel after the slide begins to cycle. However, specs differ and most all will have a bit of stress on the links. There is little stress downward on the lugs or link when firing. I see in mind's eye a deep lug recess in the slide and...

  6. DIY 1911 accuracy job.

    Got a question. The fit on a slide/barrel can be critical but the critical area would be width, not particular depth. I am aware of the shims and other measures to "fit" barrels along with the different size (length) links. If you are ajusting the depth of the lockup, are you not running the...

  7. Loads: 147 GR 9mm Luger

    I agree with your comparison. I suppose those on the Enos site consider Red Dot and American Select as a shotgun powder. Imagine that. I do not have extensive experience with the 9MM and 147s. I have experimented with Americaan Select and have had decent results. Nothing to compare. I think that...

  8. Light primer strikes

    Use Federal primers. Next batch of reloads use a ruler or straight edge and look at the depth of the primers. Are you using unsorted fired brass? Winchester primers are the hardest. Then CCI, then Federals. SASS shooters (including me)use Federals because our tricked out guns will not...

  9. Loads: 147 GR 9mm Luger

    Of all the research on different powders to use in my G34, I found that a majority of competition shooters use Clays. All the experienced shooters go by the "slow powders/big bullets" mantra. I worked upa load with American Select. Slower than Clays and I use it for my revolvers, shotgun, and...

  10. 45 long colt issues

    Terminology-semantics. Your sizing/decapping die is too big ID. This die does not have an expander die. I believe you are referring to the die that flares the mouth of the case=expander die. That would not be the problem. If you flare/expand the mouth of the case big enough to drop in the case...

  12. Ruger Mark III Hunter mainspring not flush anymore

    No, you would have to use a bmfh to bend most anything on the assembly. Obviously, it is not seated all the way. To my knowledge there are no pins or screws in the way. Once the bolt is through the frame, the strut is placed in the divot by pointing upward, and you close the arm, the...

  13. Loads: 147 GR 9mm Luger

    Clarke123, all the loads on Handloads.com site are loads worked by "guests" and published for you folks. I have done my research on Brian Enos's forum. 99% of the posters are addicted competitors and you can derive favorite loads by reading the posts. 'Course, you have access to that site...

  14. Ruger Mark III Hunter mainspring not flush anymore

    Will it function manually? Either the hammer strut (36) is not in the divot or the hook is not through the frame. The "hook" is the arm at the top of the mainspring assembly. It pulls into a recess in the frame just in front of the large pin that goes up through the bolt...
