Bigdogdaddy, Besides a little surprise, I had a lot of powder residue on my Left hand, (I'm right handed). Like I said, the bullet exited out of the barrel with no problem, I was more worried about the gun. I really think it was the shell casing and not the firing pin or firing oob. Especially...

Vertocoli, thanks for the reply, and I have seen others say the same thing. However, i went on shooting with no problems. I'm wondering if I should contact Ruger. One thing I have found, this is a occurrence with others on strictly the Golden point. You are the first I have seen with another...

Shooting my Ruger SR22p which never fails after thousands of rounds, I had a Remington golden bullet explode at the rim. Shook me up a little. I also shoot a Bersa 22.cal and the gun will only shoot high velocity ammo. And the golden bullets function almost as well as the CCI mini mags.They...

Took both of my Phoenix's to the range last weekend and had a great time. Shot them like crazy without one failure. I love these little guns. What gets me is the big fad with the New Pocketlite, and the Sig 238. Folks just seem to love the design. Funny how the Phoenix has such a similar design...

Here is a cost calculator. Where I see a big benefit is tailor making a load for a specific pistol. For instance, I like a reduced load for my LC9 for practice. Less recoil and wear and tear on t gun. I collect brass at the range for 9mm so that makes it cheap and I have never had a problem with...

I have used it with 9mm and it shoots very well, I like it. (LC9 and SR9c) It is listed in many of the pistol data books including Lyman. Do not know about 38.

Since I bought two Phoenix hpa 22.cal, the little 22.cal work horses, I have wanted a Sig 238 or the new pocketlight. Amazing how the HPA resembles the other two. And Yes, it got a A Plus rating from Gun test mag. Finally saw and felt a new Pocketlite at my local gun store. Man was it nice...

As I mentioned earlier, I really like the Bersa COMPACT. Check out this comparison. Pretty much the same size as my beloved LC9 but recoil is so much softer on the Bersa rating. http://www.genitron.com/Compare/Selected-List.aspx Note: click on each pistol and see the full description

Finally got to shoot a Bersa 380 at the range yesterday. I watched the guy next to me burn through 4 boxes of mixed ammo without one hiccup. I had some blazer and shot his pistol. What a marvelous shooter. I have been thinking of another 380 for a while now and the Bersa 380 CC is most...

On the other side of the coin is the fact that even though someone is careful, a new beginner re loader may look at a load that is in fact hot and think that since the person that wrote the recipe is very experienced like say for instance Skip who have many years of reloading under his belt...

I just read a comparison of the Solo with the New SCCY second generation. They gave it a very good review and the gun with a few minor changes could very well make "Budget gun of the year". They shot 11 mags with no failures. What was interesting was the fact that it was on par with Solo's...

I go to all the forums I can find and copy and paste their recipes. You can get a good idea from this as to what works etc. This is the only forum I have seen that does require a red warning for each post on data. I would hope that anyone that starts to reload with have common sense to...

I have been focusing on the LC9 with different loads and also shooting them with the Sr9c. I really like tight-group at 3.4 grs. with a Berry's copper plated 124gr FP. for the LC9. cycles very well and very accurate. It shoots quick and tames the gun down to a really pleasant shooter. I used...

Thanks for the post Big Daddy-I think it would also be interesting to see what gun you are shooting. tks Dave

Since this forum is dedicated to the 380, and 9mm pocket guns, it would be nice to see what everyone is loading for these guns. Dave

I have been reloading now focusing on one gun only, the LC9. I cannot use a chrony at the ranges I go to, but have found a couple of great loads that reduce the harsh recoil of factory ammo, cycle perfect,and extremely accurate and fast. Finding a load like this has become one of the most...

Actually I do have a chrony. As a avid airgunner I use it often. Unfortunately unless you are at a range that allows them, then it does not help. I shoot mostly combat or defensive handguns at close range and not really sure if a chrony is that much help for such close range. The factory reload...

Regardless, If I had reloaded that charge myself, I surely would have brought it down.

Now after reading Skips info :Gentlemen, please be VERY CAREFUL with heavier-than-normal bullets in the .380 cartridge. • There's a maximum overall length that you have to stay within. • A heavier bullet will be loaded deeper into the case than a lighter bullet with the same OAL. • Less volume...

I posted on another fourm about the SR9c-It is a very boring gun. Just to easy to shoot accurately, trigger is too perfect, recoil is so minimal. CONGRATS RUGERRON ON ONE OF THE FINEST GUNS MADE! Dave@vabch
