rcmodel is absolutely right.

I don't know if I would trust a dipper.

It seams like a lot of people are hoarding. I don't have a problem with that to an extent. In my opinion we need to get as many many new and young (by that I mean a number not irresposible) shooters involved in this sport as we can. If my generation and the ones before buy everything up as soon...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using Magtech brass at the moment but I will try some Winchester. Thanks for the correction on seating depth.

I can't seem to figure out a way to load either of these rounds without getting a bulge at the base of the bullet in the brass. The bulge is large enough to jam up my Beretta 92fs (Which is what I will be loading for). I'm loading using RCBS carbide dies. It happens if I use a crimp or do...

Good deal. Confused the hell ot of me. Thanks for clearing that up Walkalong.:)

Im new to reloading so my word is not really spoken with much experience, but that's what I use. I've only had the press for about a year and only loaded about 1000 rounds with. All that being said I have absolutely no complaints with the press.

anybody?

Are those numbers supposed to be for two different powders?

Yeah, I still need to find a Speer and Nosler reloading book. Thats what I was thinking for the COAL. Thanks for the quick reply.

I already have a few books but none of them list this bullet. I was wondering if anyone can help me out with what Speer lists as the OAL and the low and high powder charge with 231, titegroup, and unique. Thanks in advance for any help.

Just wondering if these dies have a taper or roll crimp.

Today I got out and tested some loads. The bullet used was Hornady XTP/HP 230gr. They were seated at 1.21, Hornady states 1.23. I have to seat them that deap for my 1911. I used Winchester 231 powder. The loads that I shot were 5 gr with an average of 751fps, 5.1gr with an average of...

I would go with the S&W. SIGs are nice combat guns, but nothing feels like a 4 pound trigger on a single action 1911. I own both, so I'm not going to knock either. I don't think you would have to worry much about tuning a S&W 1911 because one of the main picky parts is different than the...

Thanks a lot for all the advice everybody. I'll just put them back. I'll probably just pick up a 1-7 upper in the near future anyways. Thanks again.
