Hands-On: New 10mm CMMG Banshee AR Pistol
I’m a HUGE fan of 10mm Auto. It’s powerful, compact, and a great cartridge to carry when “heavy hitting” knock-down power is needed. Where I live we have black bear (lots), and it’s always reassuring to carry something like 10mm or 44 magnum for protection. So when I heard about the new 10mm CMMG Banshee […]
300 Remington Ultra Magnum Versus My Pool
Every once in a while I get an idea that I just can’t get out of my head. Recently, I had the thought: “I’m really tired of this pool, it keeps getting punctures, and it’s end of season anyways”. It took about 10 milliseconds for me to connect the dots in my head- “Let’s shoot […]
Reloading .357 SIG for the Glock 20
Wait a second, isn’t the Glock 20 chambered in 10mm Auto? What does .357 SIG have to do with the Glock 20 then? I’m glad you asked! The Glock 20 is awesome, but you can have even more fun with the “G20” with the addition of inexpensive drop-in barrels for different cartridges. With my Glock […]
MagnetoSpeed V3 Chronograph: From Unboxing to Shooting Rifle and Pistol
If you want to build a precision rifle, you need precision tools. In the same way, if you want to load and shoot precision ammunition, you need the tools that will produce *and* validate the precision of your loads. A good chronograph is one of those tools! In this post I’m going to introduce you […]
RCBS Pro Chucker 5: Loading 40 S&W
It’s hard not to appreciate the 40 S&W cartridge. It’s compact, it’s powerful, and it’s very versatile at the range or for personal defense. Heck, if you reload your own ammo, you can practice with premium hollowpoints for near the same price as your “economy” reloads. Whether or not you carry your own reloaded ammo is a […]
DIY 40 S&W / 10mm Quick Changeover Setup
My metal lathes are tools that I just can’t do without. I am frequently amazed at how often a metal lathe will come in handy around the house and shop, especially for gunsmithing and reloading accessories/tools. I’ve written several times about how I’ve machined shims for various reloading fixtures. Examples include calibrating my Hornady Lock-N-Load […]
Video: Custom Bullet Feed Setup: Reloading 40 S&W on the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP
I enjoy the process of designing and building things, and I guess the “inventor” in me can’t help but want to create new products. It’s always a pleasure to see what other people come up with, and to help them market and sell their inventions (Example: Doug Williams’ 38/357 quick switch kit). Recently, one of […]
Video: Loading 40S&W with the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP
40 S&W is one of the most popular cartridges with handgun shooters, and it’s not hard to see why. Packing a powerful punch in a package smaller overall than 45 ACP, it’s a great cartridge for target shooting as well as defense/carry. Recently, I picked up a Glock 20 and 40 S&W conversion barrel, and […]
Glock 20: The Ultimate 10mm and 40S&W Shooting Setup
For a long time I’ve been looking forward to producing a blog/video series covering 10mm Auto and 40 S&W. What’s not to like about taking 9mm to the next power level? 40 S&W essentially does that. Want to go extreme? 10mm Auto packs a major punch, it’s the most powerful semi auto handgun cartridge that […]
Getting Ready to Load 40 S&W
Well, it’s getting close to time to actually start loading 40 S&W! I’ve been working on getting ready for a while now (See 40 S&W brass considerations post and Redding GRX Die setup/operation post). Following the cleaning of my 40 S&W brass, it was time to run all of the brass through the Redding GRX […]
