Go to a gun store and ask to hold a few that you like, see what sparks your interest and then spend the money

alright then, got it

"hi can i have some directions"
*gets shot*

I bought all the stuff I need to reload 45ACP and 7.62x25

Just need to get the powder and primers now

everything was *way* cheaper on this website

amazon is actually jewish and double the price on half this stuff

I buy everything local. It's cheaper that way (for me at least)

I load my .357s with FTX boolets and blue dot. I get 1700fps from a 6" bbl and a 180gr FTX

For $.32 each

My .30-30s use hornady boolets and leverevolution powder. Direct copies of the leverevolution load for just over half the price of factory

I've still got a *bunch* of .300blk stuff I'll never use...

@a homo sapien If the rifle is as accurate and as close to the limit as you can get (tested?) maybe better glass is the way to go. Scopes, binos and camera lenses, good glass will always be good glass. Upgrade the rifle later.

my current knowledge base on this subject is next to zero. do you know where i can learn this stuff?

You need a chronograph. Any clubs near you? Also www.airgunforum.co.uk is a good bet

chronograph? stopwatch? yea there's a few near me i see on google, never been to any

chronograph is something that tells you how fast your projectile is moving

bought this

word of note... 1911s (especially older colts) are NOTORIOUSLY picky about boolet

I own one of these, I have the factory mag that has the correct feeding lips for the wadcutters and some new stainless steel mags for everything else

factory colt of course

The YT vid further up with Perspex suppressors was very interesting, seeing how the different patterns work on trapping and redirecting gas
