    LASER CAST

    in General Reloading

    Posted

    I have cast bullets for many years both pistol and rifle, but I don't have a clue as to what a laser cast bullet is as opposed to a regular cast bullet. I see them advertived and for sale in catologs. Could some one please tell me what a laser cast bullet is..thank you..

    Laser Cast is a trademark of Oregon Trail Bullet Co., excellent bullets but a little too spendy for me :unsure:

    Modifying Colt Commander for Single Stack

    in 1911-style Pistols

    Posted

    Dude

    Rock that commander!

    I shoot a 5 inch 1911 but I used to carry and shoot a commander regularly.

    There really is no disadvantage to using one except:

    If you get into adjustable sights, you might as well start looking into a longer blaster

    If your gun is a lightweight (aluminum version) it might, might wear quicker but you will need to shoot alot of factory powered ammo to really have a problem

    It's the indian not the arrow

    PS If you have the money, get a 5 in gun too

    The commander is all stainless steel. I had thought about the lightweight version but when I thought more about I figured that the heavier version might recoil less.

    The commander is my daily carry and what I happen to own right now. I do plan on getting a 5" with adjustable sights and keep up the single stack but I have to get the money first. I want to go the distance and get a Nighthawk or similar brand.

    I already reload for .45 is one of the reasons for sticking with single stack. I really have no desire for a .40 or to load it so I am going to spend the money on a nice single stack.

    No desire for .40 and want a nice single stack? you sound like me. Maybe this attitude would get us into the Single Stack Elitist Society...Kirby

    Old school 45 Single stack Comp Gun?

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Posted

    I think Wilson Combat still offers that gun and some versions of it (from full-size to Commander to bob-tailed).

    Pretty wild.

    Those old school guns still appeal to some of us old farts B) .

    Wilson only offers a comp on a Commander or officer sized 1911, and it's not a full profile comp...too bad or I'd buy one. Regards, Kirby

    Old school 45 Single stack Comp Gun?

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Posted

    That's an old school gun. :wub:

    I ordered it in 1984 and tool delivery in 1986. B)

    The beavertail is maybe Safari Arms?? I think there was only one or two brands back then. Steve cut it for a higher grip. I can take more pics of the beavertail if you want them. Or I can bring it to Rayners in June. ;)

    The base pad on the stainless 7 round mag is 2 thicknesses of leather. Probably all I could afford after paying for the gun. :o Notice the gamer 8 round Devel mag. That was the hot trick then. :o

    kar45, what kind of bounty? Of course it isn't costing me anything sitting in the safe and it's a good conversation piece. B)

    Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors Nastoff 45 compgun....nor anything that is thy neighbors.(had to remind myself of this)Regards, Kirby

    Hornady One Shot

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Posted

    I ordered some One Shot from Midway and got the Hornady One Shot gun cleaner and dry lube. Is this the same stuff as Hornady's One Shot Case lube or at the very least, can it be used in the same manner as case lube?

    It works fine for me, smells better too. Regards, Kirby

    Can I use Hodgdon Clays to load .357 sig

    in 9mm/38 Caliber

    Posted

    I am trying to find load data to use clays to load my .357 sig and I cannot find anything. Does anyone have a load for this or is it not safe. If not safe let me know why.

    Thanks

    Clays is NOT suitable for 357Sig. A good friend of mine mistakenly substituted Clays for Universal. One shot kaboom, HiPower 357Sig destroyed. Luckily no one was injured. I was standing 15 feet behind him, scared the crap out of us. Regards, Kirby

    God's gun

    I think Jesus's story would have been much more interesting if he had a gun.

    Yeah, he coulda shot back rather than get nailed to the cross

    In all the reverence I can possibly muster, Jesus would shoot a Wilson Combat Supergrade 1911 with case-colored frame. .45, of course. Regards, Kirby

    Which 6 inch SS 1911 in .45?

    Nobody's panties are in a bunch Rich.

    <_<

    I was afraid one of them was about to 'open a jar of whoop-ass'(not sure which one). I have been enjoying both of their well thought out, articulate posts. Also those of DCarden, Venry, HSmith and Flexmoney. Regards, Kirby

    S&S Castings 38 special 158 Gr lead

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Posted

    I am just about out of Ranier 125 gr fp bullets. Have enjoyed them in my M&P 340 J-frame. Found 4.9 gr of 231 to be the most accurate load. I am thinking of ordering some 158 grain round nose flat points from S&S Castings. Anyone have experience with these? How is their quality? I am using a Dillon RL 550 B. I will be shooting them in the M&P & a Ruger Security Six for target shooting. Thanks in advance.

    The .45 230 RNL I received from S&S are excellent quality, and he shipped when he said he would. Regards, Kirby

    Best 308 powder available ... ?

    I value all the responses the post has been getting. This information from those who have been there ... done that ...... is priceless. It helps me with my decision making and spares me the time and expense of testing several different gun powders. I am fortunate to have this web site, and it's members who are willing to take the time and help another rookie rifle reloader.

    Reloading components are hard to find in my area. I'm afraid it's a taste of things to come this year for us shooters and wonder what will happen to competitive shooting. I've loaded a million handgun rounds but this is my first shot at loading 308 rifle. I have a whole new respect for the rifle reloader in the case prep alone!

    Thanks again and keep adding to the post!

    If you are looking for accuracy, try 43.0 W748, Lake City match brass, F210M, seat your 168s to 2.800. Regards, Kirby
