Back to the loading bench…..

I had written a while back about working up some .223 Remington loads using the 42 gr Sinterfire bullet.
The first batch I worked up used Accurate 2460. I really wasn’t happy with how that batch shot. My shooting bench setup wasn’t good, and it also revealed just how bad my trigger was on [...]

3-gun

We had 5 stages yesterday, but I won’t bore you with the details of each stage. 2 were of the “Stand in box A, shoot 6 targets, run like hell to box B, shoot some more” variety. One was a carry over from the state match, just adapted to add a shotgun into [...]

Wrap up

from today’s 3-gun match will have to wait.
I know you all are just waiting with anxious anticipation that you can hardly contain. Frankly, I’m just too damned tired. I feel like someone took my Remington 870 and beat me with it.
Short version: Great fun, highly recommend it…..just not in July.
One [...]

Not buying…

what she’s selling….
The story is about a woman who was shot while sitting on the can. Seems the gal in the stall next to her dropped her pistol and it went off.
Now, I’m not saying it couldn’t happen, and I’m not saying I wouldn’t dirty myself if I accidently dropped one of my [...]

This is my rifle…..

….. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than any [...]

More thoughts on the Dillon 550

I’ve been running this press for a few weeks now, and I’m ready to share a few more thoughts on it….
My Lee dies work well. The guy who sold it to me said they would work, but followed it up with “But you’ll want to switch to the Dillon dies”. I’m honestly [...]

What should you do…..

when the temp hits

Go shooting, of course!
Why? Because if you ever need to do it for real, it’s not going to be 65, slightly overcast with a gentle northern breeze.
Not everyone has the benefit of being able to take classes where your instructors may be screaming in your ear while you’re shooting to induce [...]

Thoughts on the 5-shooter

A good friend of mine has a couple posts on the snub nose revolver, part 1 and part 2. Go pay him a visit.
There’s not much in there I’m going to disagree with, other than the plastic gun bigotry. Secretly, he covets the Glock 19. He just won’t admit it because he’s [...]

Dillon 550 Review

When I started reloading a few years ago, I started out on a Lee Pro 1000 that was given to me. It made my entry into the reloading world a little cheaper. This post isn’t going to be a bash Lee Precision because Dillon Precision is better. I think each company’s products [...]

Trigger job part 2

I finished up the rest of the trigger installation this evening. I only needed to fit the trigger to the safety, and then I would be finished. This took a bit more time than I had expected as I was using a stone to remove material.
There really is nothing I can [...]
