For rifle, I buy RCBS competition seater dies because of the top load feature. A lot of factors go into concentric ammo output including dies, press, shellholder & set-up. For forming & sizing rifle cases I prefer Redding. For general pistol loading Lee dies have some excellent features (FCD &...
Hmmmm.....
No pictures in this thread of Labradar's with holes through the middle of 'em. I guess it's because they don't sit in front of the muzzle. But I've heard a lot of folks swear & cuss & threaten to shoot theirs on purpose!...LOL
Off the shelf .410 shells of any load have been almost non-existent in my area. Not too long ago, I got a sale ad from Academy stores with some 2-1/2" #7-1/2 win shells. Price with shipping was just over $20/box. I ordered 5 boxes. After I ordered the 5 boxes & kept thinking about it, I decided...
I found these "T" nuts at the local hardware store. They are about a $1 a piece. When I re-surfaced my loading bench top I flush-mounted 1 about every 18" (btw; my bench is 10' long). I cut some metal plates & drilled & taps some holes to mount my powder measure stand & my bench primer.

A professional commercial reloader might be a good starting point for you. There is one here in the Dallas area that loads a minimum of 50 rounds using brand new brass & fresh powder & primers. He's been in business long enough to know what works for a customer's particular rifle. I suggest that...
Some years back, I met a fellow at the rifle range that was shooting a scope-less .30-30 lever gun from the bench. I took a look at his target through my spotting scope & at 100 yds he was putting bullets into 1" to 1-1/2" groups! This perked my interest & made me nosy & curious. He had a...
There is no doubt the .30-30 is an excellent deer round. What many shooter's complain about is the "pie-plate" accuracy of the old lever guns. The upper ejection that prevents a standard scope mounting is another turn-off. As mentioned, the flat-nose bullet requirement doesn't generate any love...
The design of the 6PPC cartridge has a slightly undersize flash-hole. It will stick a standard pin. The Mighty Armory die can be ordered with different pin sizes including for the PPC cartridges. I've de-primed many thousands of cases with it & never broke a pin. I've accidentally punched...
