    Help identifying this Kimber

    The skinny bolt handle and lightening cuts in the extractor say it *is a Mountain Ascent...... that's been drug thru the swamp... that's duck camo, as others stated, probably a wrap. Danged offensive to my eyes, Haha.

    Help me understand the importance of measuring velocity for reloading.

    I calls em as I sees em 🤷🏼‍♂️😁

    Help me understand the importance of measuring velocity for reloading.

    I've done load dev with and without a chronograph. I've gotten good results both ways. Having velocity data (especially extreme spread data) makes it easier I think, especially if shooting at long distances. Knowing my ES helps me know how much vertical dispersion I can expect to have on...

    10mm handgun

    So if I sat in a brand new truck and couldn't reach the pedals...... if I just cowboy'd up and drove it enough I would magically be able to reach the pedals. That's excellent advice, we are so lucky you are here to save us from the terrible mistake of buying something that fits. Maybe next you...

    10mm handgun

    I've tried to embrace the Glock 10mm guns, but the frames are just to big for my dainty hands. The 1911 just fits and shoots better for me. My Springfield 1911 10mm is a great shooter. My Sig xTen ain't bad though, for a plastic P O S. :)

    10mm handgun

    Seems you've taken offense at a joke. You know, there are plenty of brands of decaffeinated coffee on the market that taste just as good as regular coffee. ;) I have seen plenty of people who cannot reach the trigger of a Glock 20 without assuming a terrible grip where they rotate their hand...

    What’s up with Hornady’s reloading podcast?

    Not to even mention their s****y brass.

    What’s up with Hornady’s reloading podcast?

    I caught a bit of one of their podcasts where they insisted that "accuracy nodes" and "sweet spots" are "pure myths" and it's all about "load density"..... this goes against my experiences.

    Hornady One Shot Inconsistency

    I use dies with expander balls, if the inside of the case neck is dry, the expander ball can tug on the case as you withdraw it, pulling the shoulder back out a bit. I spray a little one shot on a Q-tip and Lube the inside of the case next as I put them in the loading block, then give them a...

    What is the most overbore cartridge YOU HAVE USED?

    That *was* an amazing (barrel torching) rifle. I remember it not going very many shots between cleanings before a carbon ring/ pressure spike would develop. But she sure did shoot flat!

    RCBS Bench Primer or Frankford Arsenal Perfect Seat Hand Primer

    Someone I know who is waaay into the details of loading precision ammo (He builds rifles and loads custom ammo for customers) just told me the other day: The best priming tool on the market is the CPS. And #2 (he thought i wouldnt believe it) is the FA, and it's surprisingly good. I told him I...

    COAL using CBTO from Hornady OAL gauge significantly shorter than book COAL?

    I have a CTR in 6.5ManBun, I just load to 2.850 COAL which fits in the magazine and feeds fine. Unless you have a wildly out of spec chamber, you're not going to get anywhere near the lands (with most bullets) with ammo that fits in the magazine. Which is fine, kissing the lands isn't...
