I never tried it but I believe that seating the bullet without expanding (belling) the case mouth is all but impossible. Accidentally crushed a few cases where mouth was not belled. I have never chamferred the case mouth

I have not seen any threads on this topic in a while. For those who grind out the crimp have you seen any new tools that work better? In the past the majority of the swaging gang loved the Dillon. Any new entries? To me the process is a real pain.

Can you recommend any good videos from YouTube? Most seem to be presented by newbies.

For 9MM, you lubers say that you lube the cases and size/deprime, immediately "bell" the case mouth, prime, powder, seat and crimp. Without ever removing the lube? I have been lubing, sizing/depriming, and then tumbling before any of the remaining steps. Trying to keep lube out of the inside...

Buy all RMR and never lost one in the mails. I credit the packaging not the PO.

What OAL are you seating to? What handgun? I use RMR 124's to 1.110 to 1,115 with 231 grains of 4.2 and a few very weakly drop back in my face. Or only fly a few feet. The deeper you seat the more pressure, correct?

Excellent Stuff:)

I appreciate all the comments. The limp wristing is possible but I doubt it. While practicing, I did shoot a few rounds with my off hand and a few single handed but as best that I recollect that was not the stove pipe. The 200 rounds in the new Equalizer were for familiarization. 30 Rounds of...

Yesterday, out of a batch of 200 9MM I had one stovepipe. First ever with my S & W Equalizer. Trying to figure out why. Light load? Weak spring in gun? I did clean the extractor pretty good the last time . Ideas?

I picked up some "Troy" headstamps at the range recently and research says they are connected to Turkey (?) and somehow shipped in a Winchester box saying Made in USA. Plan to toss them.

I still have components from before the pandemic, although I am good for about 2 months before the old stuff gets used up. 223 is still costing me 22 or 23 cents.

Let me clarify. Should the target and the red dot be center of the glass in order to be set up correctly and hitting the bull? Right now, it is set so the target and the red dot are line up at the bottom center of the rectangular glass to make a good hit on target.

I just bought and installed an HS507KX2 on a 9mm S & W. I am having trouble with the sight picture. I searched youtube for the proper sight picture and even Googled it. I found nothing useful, so here I am. I went to the range, placed the firearm on a rest and started testing. With the red dot...

Wolf, PPU, WIN USA 5.56, PMC, RP, and FC. Me, I scrap Wolf, WIN USA, and usually avoid RP. I like PMC, then PPU and will use FC.

BTW- all three sets of glasses were obtained and paid for to an Eye Doctor.
