GOSH DAMMIT I knew it, I stared at that gun forever trying to make sense out of moving that sight left, oh well i'll be sure to ask questions here and not at the range. Thank you very much sir. And yes I have moved my finger but i'm still trying to make sure I do it every time.

First and foremost thank all of you for your advice with my stuck bullet. I did everything you guys suggested except change bullets(I'm on a bit of budget so until their gone thats what i'm using)but anyway the gun fired flawlessly not one problem. My Ruger p95, with 4.7 grains of Winchester...

o.k well i just learned a lot and am doing just about everything i could do wrong!! So i'm off to unload all the rounds and start over. With a better bullet, clean but not oiled barrel, and I just ordered a lyman scale, I was using a lee balance scale and coming up with very in consistent loads...

factory ammo seemed to run through fine all though I wanted to and obviously could'nt fire any after the jam. I use 115 grain bullets fro rainier using a Ruger p95( I know not the best firearm but I'm just getting involved in the sport so i'm learning as i go. Thank you for your response

Guy's I'm really not a stupid person but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've been using Winchester 231 powder in 9mm cartridges I started out low aboust 3.6 grains and had a lot of ejection problems. So I went to 4.4 grains and this seemed to high to me (flames and sparks coming out...

I know quite a few of you managed to open my posts and have kept up with the 2 week disaster that its been.(for the rest of you it good be worth a good laugh). Back to the range today with both my light loads 3.6 grains of Win. 231 and the heavy loads 4.4 grains. I did however bring fresh...

Yeah but heavy is actually good, suck up some of the recoil for her

Has anyone bought or had the chance to shoot the new Ruger 22/45 Lite. I've been looking for a 22 for my wife (she won't shoot my 9) I've seen several videos on you tube. but was hoping for some first hand expierience. And honestly I think it's a bad ass little gun if it functionsas well as it...

Yeah I'm using a 115 grain fmj. I know about the books out there but I was absolutely stunned how many different ranges you get from 1 manufacturer to another. I did pick up one of those complete manuals for 9mm lugers. Just for example, Hornady says 4.1-4.7 max. Nosler doesn't even mention...

Are there any visible signs I can see too get a general idea about whether my loads are to high or to low at the range. I did watch a great video on utube which showed what to look for in the primer and what terrific info. Bought myself a manifying light and mounted it to me bench, after that...

Starting new so I just kind of went by what the guy selling ne said would work. He sold me winchester 231 powder. I have a feeling there's much better choices out there. I mean I just can't seem to find a happy load for my gun, and there's really not much info out there that even includes 231...

Thanks again everyone. As for the fedral ammo I like it, never had any problems with their factory loads, and of course I was the problem with the reloads so.

WOW, thank you all so much for all the help, I can see that joining is going to prove to be a great idea. Now the ansewer to my problem, the primers in the speer brass were not seated deep enough. Just so you all can have a good laugh I'll tell you why, I noticederday that one of my primer...

O.k. so due to budget i've slowly gathered my reloading neccesities, so I trimmed, cleaned, and primed some speer 9mm brass which then sat in a tupperware container until I got the powder and bullets. I promptly loaded about 50 of the already primed brass, and just to do things from start to...
