What diameter are the bullets? And are they measuring out to what they advertised?

Don't make the mistake I did. I used mine to clean my gun parts too, and it works pretty well. Just make certain, absolutely certain that you remember to take them out when its done! That nifty timer makes it so easy to forget you have the barrel of a prized semi-auto soaking in what is more or...

It looks like I can get some berrys for similar pricing, I might as well go that route. Just a bit curious, I don't see them offering a 125gn bullet for 9mm/357sig/or even 38super. Is what you load something they don't offer anymore, or did you mean 124gn? I'll also get some Rainiers in small...

I'm taking the plunge into 357sig. I have seen that the Rainier 124gn fp bullets work well and the 147gn hp apparently works, but by the look of the pictures of the 2, the 124gn hp looks to have a ogive that goes too far back to work in 357sig. I was wondering if anyone has tried them and what...

I use both, but prefer to save power pistol rounds for near dusk. HS-6 meters better for me, and makes for some very clean (near max) and very accurate firing ammo, similar to Accurate No. 7. Power pistol is plenty of fun when you're in the mood for flash and noise, but in a shaded/indoor area...

Mine did something fairly similar to what has been described by many others, in my case the primer seating pin was slightly bent. If you can rotate the shell holder and the flange contacts in the same general direction, this might be your problem. I used a driver handle, one of those multi-bit...

Many thanks john16443, this is exactly what I've been trying to find. :D

I understand your point about choosing the oal for the gun, I'm asking about doing this in the absense of data for that bullet. For example, hodgdon seems to offer data exclusively for gold dot bullets, which I doubt I would ever consider buying in bulk. Would this data still work to determine a...

Thank you for the responses, this leads me to another question. Can you use load data for different types of bullets of the same weight and diameter by seating a bullet of a different length to the same depth? For example, if I have data that one bullet uses an oal of 1.150 and 5gr of power...

First off, I'm new to reloading. I have the following manuals; Hornady 8th, Lyman 49th, Lee 2nd and a One Caliber book for 9mm luger. I'm loading 9mm luger and 40s&w, and purchased a few different powders to try; AA no7, TiteGroup, Power Pistol, HS-6 and Unique. The cheapest bullets I could find...
