Looking for my first 3 gun shotgun. My local gun store has used a Stoeger M3K for $479. Any tips or suggestions for how to inspect and determine round count, condition, etc. It appears to be stock - as it does not have a tube extension. Thoughts on how much I can expect to pay for a used m3000/m3k or 930JM? Thanks all great forum!

In particular a .40 to 9mm conversion barrel for a Glock 23. thx c

I went with the Ameriglo Targets. After the coupon they were $29. I'll let you know how they work out!

How do you prevent it?

I've seen this phrased used in several threads in relation to people shooting Glocks to the left, but I'm not clear what it means. thx-c

I'm looking at replacing the stock sights on my G34 with something else. I have Ameriglo Operator sights on my carry gun and have been pleased with them and I'm thining of going with some of their plain black sights for this gun, but I'm confused as to what size would be better. They offer one model , the Target, with a .090 front sight and a .150" rear notch, or the other model, the Combat, has a .115" front sight and a .200 rear notch. Pros and cons of each would be great. I'll also consider other models, but I have a 25% off coupon code for Ameriglo which will be hard to beat.

I have a holster for a glock 19 with an open area at the bottom of the barrel (kytac sooper hooper). I'm wanting to know if I can use this same holster for a G34 in USPSA production, where the barrel will poke out the bottom of the holster. thx-c

So I picked up a pound of titegroup yesterday. Figure I'll try a few batches with that and see how I like it and go from there.

Of your two choices I'd take the 45 with some double tap fp fmj: http://www.doubletapammo.com/php/catalog/p...products_id=156

Yeah, all these nickel and dime items after the press are killing me. I'm sure once I get setup and actually start loading it won't be that big of a deal, but it seems like everytime I turn around I'm having to buy something else. Reinforce bench More storage bins more lights around bench tumbler/media chrono timer reloading books 5 billion hours researching powders and loads...

So it would seem to me, the newb having never reloaded anything in his life (but having a 650 mounted on work bench in varrying stages of assembly the past week) that a chronograph is indeed a mandatory piece of reloading equipment. - especially if you are loading for IPSC. Everything I've read regarding load data talks about 'working your load up', or starting slow and building up, etc. It seems that if your goal is to make a load that has a certain power factor (130) out of your particular gun that you'll need to chrono the varrying stages of 'working up the load' so you end up where you want. Or am I missing something. Is a chrono mandatory?

Hey Thanks Carlos - Question though - where do I find 9mm load data for Ramshot Competition? Ramshot only lists it as a shotgun powder. thx! Chris

Thanks Cavediver- I emailed MasterBlaster a couple days ago and I emailed Precision this morning, but haven't heard back from either. I'd be interested in hearing what Precision told you. Shoot me an email if you don't mind and I'll verify the data and of course - load at my own risk. homes@matrixre.com Masterblaster's site recomments Ramshot Competition (which is a shotgun powder and I can't find load data for a 115g 9mm) and Vihta Viourta, which is more money than I want to spend, and load data for the 124 and 147 but not the 115. I probably screwed up ordering the 115g, as it seems that they are harder to load to make minor than 124 or 147 but I have 3K+ that I need to find a good load for. I've read in several places that WST is a good powder for moly, but I can't find load data for 9mm for it. I may just try Titegroup or 231 and see how it does, but I've heard that they are both smokey with Moly (ouch - head spinning again). I figured someone else has been through the same thing as me and was hoping for a 'this is the schnizzle 9mm 115g load' or somethign like that.

Sorry - Glock 19

I'm a new member and reloader and I've been searching for a week or so off and on and I'm still unclear whether there is one load that is better than another one. I'm looking for a clean shooting 9mm load that I can reliably make Minor shooting MasterBlaster 115g Moly coated bullets. Also - you don't usually see load data for moly bullets - do I look at the load data for lead or plated or what. THANKS!
