  blue ring

Anyone know what the blue ring around the avatar signifies? Sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't.

  (Blue, Red, probably Green) Dot powder
Posted by: srjdsmith - 09-19-2026, 01:07 PM - Forum: Reloading - Replies (1)

When I was a kid, it it seems like we could load literally EVERYTHING with Red Dot and 4756- shot, brass… everything.

I don’t really need these powders, but just wondering…

Why is the 4756 gone?

Why can’t I find Blue Dot?

Why is Red Dot so scarce?
(Midway USA appears to have 1lb bottles, but I haven’t bought anything from Midway since Larry pledged his undying love for Wayne LaPierre)

I can get any factory ammo, and primers and many powders and bullets… but why are some components still so scarce?

  10mm vs .40 S&W
Posted by: srjdsmith - 09-19-2026, 12:49 PM - Forum: Pistols - Replies (2)

Boys and girls, it’s time for the naive question of the day:

Recently I heard that .40 S&W ammo can be safely fired in a gun chambered for 10 mm. (The way 38 spcl can be fired in a .357 mag weapon.) Now, I was already aware that the bullets are the ‘same’ diameter, but it never occurred to me that you can shoot .40 out of a 10mm.

Before you get all worried about me, I don’t have any .40 ammo and if I was to do something like this, I would load 10mm on the ‘light’ side using a published, approved load (probably from Hornady 12 ed like the 155gr at 1150 fps).

This is a philosophical question, not a practical question. My son and I have P80 G20 clones and I purchase and load 10 mm for whitetail deer hunting for them. They’re very effective. I have no reason to shoot .40, but as intellectual curiosity, is it a thing?

Last year I put an application in for a $1200 rebate on the purchase of an e bike. Today I got an email from the state informing me that it was chosen in this month's drawing. An e bike oughta make a fine grouse hunting machine!

I bought this perfume for my girlfriend and thought it made her smell so much nicer. She, on the other hand wasn't impressed, said it was too strong and got angry about it. Wimmin, go figure!

  Fanboy hits the range
Posted by: Rampy - 09-06-2026, 03:47 PM - Forum: Pistols - Replies (1)

With the Staccato C4X pistol, it’s a 2011. However, it also doesn’t have a grip safety and takes Glock magazines 

Zeroed red dot at 15 yards target was shot st 25yards, red dot aiming point & you can see when I get tired

It’s a fun gun to shoot and more accurate than I am

  Yard sales
Posted by: tommag - 09-06-2026, 07:22 AM - Forum: Reloading - Replies (3)

I've been house sitting for the boss and he found a bunch of reloading tools and components at a yard sale while on the road. He gave me a can of bullseye as a gift. [Image: IMG-20260905-203302.jpg]
That's all he bought as he knows nothing about reloading. Judging from the condition of powder and the can I'd say there was a bunch of well cared for items there. I wish I could've been there!
