    quick review-new lee auto drum powder measure

    I would like to add to some of the comments that have been made to my post of throwing issues with this measure on the turret. My bench is rock solid, does not move at all. At one time in its life it held metal working equipment in excess of 1000 lbs. Yes it was my first time loading on...

    quick review-new lee auto drum powder measure

    I used mine for the first time tonight loading up some 357 mags with 2400. It was very consistent during testing, but once I put it on the lee turret it would throw about .3 - .5 high with the turret going around. (I was working up some test loads so weighed them all.) If I dumped them and...

Especially the sizing station which is directly across from the seating die. . I also changed my set up so that the bullet...

    357: crimped vs uncrimped 158 LSWC for target

    I found using Trail Boss in a 38 Special with 158 SWC that too much of a crimp was causing my bullets to not be as accurate. Now these are light loads for paper. If I do a very light crimp, just enough to remove the bell and maybe just a little more I get better accuracy. Never had a problem...

    .380 acp

    I have loaded over 1500 380's for my wife and I, using xtreme plated 100g with titegroup. They have shot very well in all of our 380's. I was concerned about the small amount of powder in the cases, and even more about the small spread from min to max using TiteGroup. I also tried it with some...
