Oh, I see! You take a shot at the length of my posts and then when I remind you to get your Alzheimer's treated (for obvious reasons) you take offense. Like Arnold said, "You're a very funny guy,...

I hope you have an appointment set with your physician soon, I think your Alzheimer's is getting worse. In Accurate and Ramshot's data that is developed by the same folks, there is an abbreviation...

fred, before you tell him to ignore it, you might want to actually look at the bullet he has. A RN SWC that has a very short nose that will require a fairly short OACL to keep the shank at about...

Understandably, since the XD9sc has no safety levers. Beyond that, the SR9c is a good bit thinner than an XD9sc. ;)

Fishinglink, Ramshot's data is for the same shaped 155 RNSWC and a harder alloy. The data would work great for your bullets. As long as bullet dia. is .001" over groove diameter, the higher Brinnell...

Haven't used Friendswood, but I've used that weight and style of bullet in .40 S&W loads in the past. I've used several powders with them but what I'd use today would be Ramshot True Blue. With what...

The 1.27" dimension is for width at the ambi-safeties, not the slide. I have an SR9 which has an identical width slide and don't understand how you are finding them wider than any XD/XDm. SR9/SR9c...

Do yourself and your wallet a favor and check out the Ruger SR45. It has a 4.5" barrel and I just got and shot mine Monday after getting an SR9 a little over a month ago. These pistols are simply...

zidave, you're welcome! Sorry I misunderstood, but I thought you had fired such a cartridge. Glad you noticed it before you did shoot it. Nothing disasterous would have likely occurred and there are...

Yep, that's too short. It fired because the extractor is holding the case rim so it did not properly headspace. It's not uncommon for cases to be .005 - .010" short, but anything shorter than that I...

Naturally I'm gonna recommend you get into reloading. For .40 S&W that I no longer shoot, I did get very rewarding handloads with cast lead SWCs. In .45 ACP I shoot as many 200 gr. SWCs as I do JHPs,...

The case was probably stuck because of the split, but sticky extraction with revolvers is very often an indication of excessive pressure, which in turn might have caused the case to split in the...

S&W introduced the Nyclad bullet back in the 80s. When they discontinued ammo production, Federal acquired the rights to the Nyclad so it's been around for a while and has a pretty good rep. I...

Same bullet. The difference is that the Gold Dot is not actually copper jacketed. It's copper plated where the plating is nearly as thick as a jacket. SPEER is able to fuse the core to the plating...

I don't load .45-70 or the 7mm Rem. Mag. but I use Ramshot X-Terminator that is supposed to be excellent in .45-70 and it's a spherical powder that meters extremely well. If I loaded 7mm Rem. Mag....

First off, it's going to be about the level of performance you expect to achieve. If you are shooting mid-level loads there won't be a nickels worth of difference in recoil except that WST appears to...

Loading on a progressive, an OACL tolerance of +/- .005" is totally acceptable, IMO. Keep at it and enjoy. ;)

There are a lot of reloaders that use Bullseye in .45 ACP as well there should be since Bullseye is the oldest smokeless powder. I've seen people rave about accuracy with certain loads using 700X and...

I've never had to do it, but from everything I've seen on the subject it is safe to do working up from the Start Charge. I'd recommend a slower burning powder, but since W231 is what you have and may...
