    Matching factory self defense loads?

    First time loading 223/5.56, recommendations please

    I think I'm almost ready to go thanks to all the helpful comments. Do the cases need to be lubricated when used with Lee dies?

    Anyone load 125gr .38 special using WST?

    What's really interesting is that the official sheet for WST (available online) doesn't have loads for 125gr .38 or a lot of the 9mm loads.

    Anyone load 125gr .38 special using WST?

    Anyone load 125gr .38 special using WST?

    If I seat the 125 grain LSWC to 1.55 OAL, it almost is showing the lube groove. When I seat it to what looks more normal it's aroudn 1.44 OAL. Any suggestions?

    Alabama private transaction question

    Great information. Thanks. I guess there's less restrictions on rifle/shotguns over handguns.

    Alabama private transaction question

    I'd appreciate it if you guys can clarify a couple things regarding FTF transactions. What information do I need to check/keep when I am selling/buying/trading with another individual? Is it legal to do a private transfer to/from an out of state resident if he/she drives down to AL?
