      380 defense ammo

      Never tested any 380 auto loads. I think anything that shoots a heavier bullet will typically do a better job of penetration (Remington loads run slightly heavier bullet weights 102 grain I think)

      Small primers on .45 ACP??

      I've been a victim of mistakenly purchasing CCI Blazer 45 ACP ammo only to discover it to has small primers! BOOOO!

      Exceeding max load reccomemdations?

      This is my last post on this. I'll bow to your experience and give up trying to advocate the use of chronographs with an individuals better judgement on what pressure signs to look for. I tell you what I'll just throw it out. Good luck with your reloading Broom and thanks for "showing me the one...

      Concealed Carry on Campus and Campus Violence

      I did the same. I had absolutely NO response. Kind of like "Heres another one. What do we say?" "Tell him campus policy restricts the use of weapons of any kind and give him no explaination." "OK you're the boss!"

      Concealed Carry on Campus and Campus Violence

      I just don't want to get expelled for having a concealed firearm even though it is perfectly legal in the state of Indiana.

      Concealed Carry on Campus and Campus Violence

      Once again this whole argument doesn't make any sense. Do any administrators watch the 6'oclock news? If no one knows I carry than who does it hurt? Isn't that the purpose of concealed carry anyways?

      Exceeding max load reccomemdations?

      Once again this is assuming that the brass and firearm are not exhibiting OBVIOUS pressure signs.

      Exceeding max load reccomemdations?

      See, you want the chronograph to tell you it's OK to add another grain of powder, because your bullets are not going as fast as the book load. You're trying to convince yourself that if your bullets aren't going as fast, it MUST BE because the pressure isn't as high as the book load was...

      Exceeding max load reccomemdations?

      All things considered I still find that the best accuracy is still obtained close to or near the max listed load, not over. If Broom_jm is as experienced a reloader as I assume he is probably in agreement with me on this. Thats all. And Broom even though you may distrust chronographs it doesn't...

      Exceeding max load reccomemdations?

      I know if you were a new reloader that just started and you saw the statement: "Just get a chronograph and trust it no matter what the brass or firearm is telling you" can be misleading. The reason we have pressure indicators in major bullet and powder manufacturers data is because we still have...

      Exceeding max load reccomemdations?

      Broom, it seems we just differ in opinion here. A chronograph does not give you a liscense to play with powder charges over max (if the charge is below listed max) it gives you just another tool (one of many the most important being your own two eyes and experience) to use when approaching close...

      Does Anyone Have Experience Reloading for a Taurus Tracker?

      I'm sorry didn't recommend anything HEAVIER than 240 grains (sorry for any confusion)

      Does Anyone Have Experience Reloading for a Taurus Tracker?

      I can't find the link. It was on Taurus' website though with bullet sizes that were not recommended for their handguns. 44 mag stopped at 240. That's driving me nuts. If I'm having second thoughts now what if there is a problem? Wasted time and money hoping I would get lucky and a Taurus could...

      Does Anyone Have Experience Reloading for a Taurus Tracker?

      I am seriously considering buying a Taurus Tracker in 44 magnum but I reload and everywhere I have seen online does not recommend using bullets in 240 grain or higher for that revolver. Is it because the cylinder length is short or is it because the revolver is week? As you can tell I'm having...

      Small Pistol Primers CCI vs Winchester

      Never seen any difference in the two with how they perform. The only thing I noticed with my rifles is that the winchesters produced a slightly higher fps (averaged out to like 10 fps which is minuscle) I tend to gravitate more toward CCI if for no other reason than this: CCI makes the best...
