Attention! There has been an influx of scammer signups!

The method of operation is to private message you and tell you that you should contact such 'n such person at a given email address.

Please report the private messages. Staff will ban the offender, and I will implement an IP ban. Unfortunately these scammers are using VPN/proxy services, which may mean your VPN/proxy may be blocked.
Attention! About VPN's and foreign IP addresses.

When signing up, do so from a US based Internet Service Provider. Turn off any VPN/safe-browsing feature. Failure to do so will result with your new account denied.

If you run into a IP ban afterwards as a member, again - turn off your VPN or switch servers. We do not ban legit Internet Service Providers from the USA(exception for certain individual IP addresses). Free VPN's tend to get banned too. We try not to ban legit subscription VPN services, but they rarely label their IP blocks correctly.

If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.

Testing COATED bullets
A friend recommended Bayou Bullets as a possible source so I obtained some samples. Here are the results of today's chrono runs.

I wish I could fully account for the higher velocities out of the 627. Perhaps a more polished barrel or a tighter cylinder gap? The .38 Special load meets the IDPA PF of 105K though I would like to get up to 125K. The 185 gr. is good for the .45 ACP PF 165K. I'll have to get the 200 gr. bullets sized to a .454" dia.

There's a MISTAKE in the powder charge for the .38 Special 160 gr. Bullet the charge weight should read 5.4 grains![/
