In the past if anyone had asked me if it were possible to reload aluminum-case autoloading pistol rounds I would have said no. Is it possible? Yes and no is my answer now.

Recently, at a spot that at least three generations of shooters use I noticed a pile of spent aluminum .45 ACP cases. I knew the ammunition existed but had never seen any for sale in this area. Examining one, I noticed that it had…

But Mossberg stuck with its pump-action Shockwave until 2025, when the company released its semi-automatic 990 Aftershock. Watch our “Gun Of The Week” video above to see the…

I was worried I’d done something wrong, even though…
