      Anyone looking for some plated bullets?

      So my Kimber hates these SWC bullets. 200gr Berry's plated, .452 diameter. I have an unopened box of 250 and an opened box with exactly 186 bullets. By my math thats 436 bullets. Will sell for 50 bucks or trade for other reloading components, (powder, small pistol primers, carbide 9mm dies). I...

      Dies for flat point bullets?

      For no other reason than the desire for something different, I switched up my bullet order and got 500 Berry's 200gr plated SWC and 750 Berry's 200gr plated flat nose. I have bought and handloaded many 230 gr round nose bullets, cast, jacketed, and plated, and all of them seated fine in my Lee...

      Best site to order P1 from?

      AIM or others? Any suggestions for a site to ship one to Maryland, C&R of course.

      A buddy of mine is selling a ton of reloading stuff.

      He has a for sale thread on another site. If anyone is interested, PM me. Looks like he is getting out of reloading completely. No high end presses, just basic things someone would use to get started. Mostly Lee stuff.

      Tokarev broke at the range today.

      Looks like I need to order a part. The small retaining clip on the slide retainer of my Zastava M57 broke off. Here is my broken piece (cell phone pics are terrible) And here is an intact part, pic taken off gunbroker. Notice that there is a small clip missing entirely from my slide...

      Opinions on N320 and ZIP powders.

      Looking for an alternative to the HP-38/Win-231 for .45 ACP target loads. Honestly, for no other reason than to try something new, as I am happy with the performance of the HP-38 I have been using. (other than its weird odor when fired) Seems like there is not much out there in the way of...

      Lee crimp die question.

      I cranked out my first 50 reloads tonight. Well, 45, since I seated some of the bullets too deep in the case before I got the die where I wanted it, and I don't have a bullet puller. Compared to my factory WWB ammo, my handloads don't have the same sharp edged 90 degree crimp. Mine are, well...

      How clean does your brass have to be?

      I tumbled 250 cases last night. Outsides of them are like new. Insides not so much. Some of them have dark spots inside the cases and especially down near the flash hole. I used a q tip with a little brass polish on them, nothing comes off. The cases are clean, I use a Lee primer pocket cleaner...

      Any input on these bullets?

      On Natchez right now: These are lead bullets, not jacketed. They come lubed. Anyone use these? Input good or bad? Thanks.

      Fun day at the Range with my Zastava M57

      Not technically a C&R (yet) but my new toy was a hoot to shoot. Came with 2 9 round mags, a cleaning rod, and a holster. My wife put 2 mags through it but it was too macho, so she dutifully loaded mag after mag for me (shes a keeper) - the best part was shooting cheap milsurp ammo that cost me...

      Got my C&R last night!

      USPS dropped a little something in my mailbox before I got home from work. Entire process from intial phone call to receipt of paperwork took 8 weeks. Not bad for Government work. With a Tokarev on the way (bought a M57 locally Saturday) and 2448 rounds of 7.62x25 coming from AIM, I cant...

      Upgrading a Tokarev

      How good can you make a 200 dollar pistol? Any resources for parts, improved internals, etc. to get these bad boys humming like a well built .45 of the same vintage? Or are they just too crude and roughly made to ever become great pistols? I know they have a lot of fans on here. I am...

      Hap Baker 5/2 and 5/3

      I think I will be taking my Yugo Mauser up tomorrow morning. I just installed my replacement firing pin this week and I look forward to seeing how it does.

      Argentine "Detective Special" Hi-Powers

      These are on sale at Sarco for $299.00 - any input on these? Seems ridiculously cheap for a NIB Hi-Power, I was wondering if anyone has input on the build quality. I asked a few days back on a Hi-Power thread in the C&R forum and got no response. For the price, somebody has to have picked one of...

      Anyone have a list of dealers who will ship C&R handguns to MD?

      Specifically looking for P38s, CZ 82s and CZ 52s, although any and every dealer who ships to the People's Republic is appreciated, no matter what they sell. I know some of them mistakenly believe that you cannot ship any handguns to MD, period.

      Frustrating day at the range

      Brought my M24/47 all the way up to Hap Baker this morning. Had a bunch of Romanian milsurp to shoot, spent literally hours cleaning the gun, was all set. Get to the benchrest, chamber a round, squeeze the trigger. Nothing. When buying rifles older than your grandfather, make sure the...

      Hello Maryland Shooters

      Hey everyone - New firearm owner here. I purchased a M24/47 at a local show in february. Spent the last month taking it apart, cleaning it, and learning everything I can about it. I just applied for my C&R FFL and am looking to pick up some more goodies. I am a huge WW2 buff and decided to...
