I've been away for awhile and due to health reasons and have not been reloading for a couple years now. Based on this, I'm not sure if I'm still permitted to offer brass or other reloading items for sale here any longer. I tried asking eBay and they just ignored my question so hoping to find out...
Thanks! That's what I was afraid of regarding the primers. Doubt If there will be much interest locally for Russian Berdan primers but will post them on our club's bulletin board.
I may have misread the rules for posting on the classified board here, I thought I read only 12 items per year...
I've been gone for about a year now and glad to be back. It's been a pretty rough year, had both hips replaced, an appendectomy, a heart stint and a little over 12 weeks of physical therapy to get me back on my feet. I haven't done much reloading while recovering as about the only places that...
Any ideas where made? Have checked most of the usual sites with no luck. Fellow gave me about 100 pieces but I didn't check the headstamp until I got home from the range. Did notice the flash holes were smaller than usual but the Lee decapper pin squeezed through okay. Thanks!
As mentioned if the brass had pulled bullets you might want to at least run them through a neck sizing die with the decapper removed. If not, you might not get good holding tension on the bullets.
Burned up many pounds of powder and hundreds (possibly 1000's) of bullets searching for the best possible load for each rifle I have purchased over the past 20 years and still not satisfied that there may still be a better bullet/powder combination for most of the guns I own. I am retired now...
If you are talking about the new Cabela's in Short Pump they had a pretty good selection of reloading supplies when I was there last week. I have picked up several pounds of powder, Nosler bullets and CCI small rifle primers in my last 2 visits. You might want to check to make sure you are on...
Now that they are all cleaned up I've taken a photo of some of this brass. The good news is that I was able to easily prime this brass without messing with removing the crimp. I am using CCI small pistol primers and priming the brass on a Dillon 550B. I just tried 2 and the primers went in...
The brass is being tumbled now but once clean I will try to seat a primer in one of these cases. I have found some other 9mm brass that had crimps but the primers still seated without removing the crimp. I use one of the Dillon 600's to remove crimps from military brass but haven't invested in...
Don't think I will mess with removing the crimp in this brass for now. I removed the crimp in over 1,000 pieces of WCC 9mm brass last winter and have yet to load any of it. Folks at our range have been leaving their 9mm, .380, 223 and 40 S&W lying on the ground and I have gotten to where the...
I picked up a bunch of Winchester 9mm brass Thursday and in preparing for tumbling noticed they have a crimped primer. Is this now the norm for Winchester brass or did I pick up some military or police brass? Dread having to remove crimps from 9mm brass but hate throwing once fired brass in...
I would ask your local scrap yard if there is a problem with primed brass. The club I belong to sells brass to a scrap yard that must not care as I know they don't sort through the range buckets for primed brass or live cartridges (even though there are separate containers for live rounds, I've...
Do the primers feel loose when you seat them? You mentioned the commercial loads work fine, any problems with primers backing out of them? I have found I can only get one reload out of some Federal brass using WLR primers but if I switch over to CCI I can get 3 or 4 more loads before the...
If I was just starting out today knowing what I know now I would start with oNE of the Redding T-7's. I started out with a Dillon 550B and still use it for most of my pistol reloading. I also used 2 RCBS Rock Chuckers for aboUT 15 years for loading for bottleneck cartridges. I recently bought...
Walkalong,
Thanks again, great info regarding this subject. I will say that I had a lot of help figuring out the Swiss problem from the folks over on the Swiss Rifle board. Before asking over there, I thought these 2 rifles were headed to the scrap bin based on the cost of having the...
