    Hornady .224 Bulk bullets in 55gr any good?

    I know hornady makes great stuff (I love my VMax bullets) and was wondering if the quality and accuracy traveled over to the bulk bullets as well? I mean for 7 cents a round, it is extremely tempting.

    Are these cases safe to reload/shoot?

    I loaded up these cases about a month ago but never shot them because I was unsure about the dent towards the neck of the case. I know that when you shoot them, small dents will disappear but what about these? Do these dents still fall under that category?

    Newbie question: Do you always have to debur cases after trimming?

    I've picked up a whole bunch of brass and finally got through it all so now I'm finally having to start trimming it down to 1.750. Can I just trim the cases and load them up or do I have to debur the edges as well?

    I bought a new cutter head for my trimmer and I cannot for the life of me unscrew the existing cutter head off. Does anyone have any guidance? And just to make sure, you all spin the handle clockwise correct?

    Lyman Case trimmer - need new cutter head

    Bought a Lyman universal case trimmer and sat down to trim some cases but found it wasn't doing any cutting whatsoever. So either I'm not doing it right or it needs some a new cutterhead. Also is the carbide cutterhead worth it? Alot of people were complaining about it not being centered.

    The number they have on their website is: 262-673-3075 and I've tried calling it but it just gives me a busy tone the entire time. Is there another number?

    Can you disassemble a lee FLRS die?

    Can you? I've tried to unscrew the thing on the top (which is threaded) and I can't get it to budge. I've wedged one of the wrenches in a vice and still can't get it to move. I'm trying to unscrew it to see if it will make it size lower down on the case since it's stopping about 3/4 of...

    New Reloader - Questions

    Hey, I've been reading the forums for a while to get as much knowledge so I don't ask a bunch of already answered questions. (that bothers me to no end) But I'm going to be reloading .223, and .45 ACP later on possibly. I've done my research and at my level I don't want to get a single...
