I just read the "Conflicting Data" post and have some of the same issues between a Speer & Sierra manual. BUT now I'm even more puzzled by some info I got straight from Alliant about their Unique powder. I'm reloading for my 44 special & have 240 grain cast bullets (similar to a Keith) and 240...

I've been reloading my .38's with the traditional 158 gr LSWC and some JHP using 4 gr of Unique with very good results. I recently acquired some 180 gr JSP Speer bullets. My Allliant Reloading chart lists 3.8 gr of Unique for 160 gr jsp and 3.2 gr of Unique for 200 gr LRN but doesn't list...

I've got an almost new canister of Unique (<100 38 rounds loaded) but I've been reading good words about Trail Boss here. I'm going to start reloading my "new" 44 Special too, now that my dies have arrived. Basically being a cheap-skate, I'm hesitant to go buy a new can of Trail Boss and waste...

I'm buying a set of used Lyman dies in 44 spec / mag to reload shells for my Taurus 431. I HEARD that all Lyman dies are carbide, but I'm not sure that's true. I can't tell for sure about these from the pic & the seller is not a reloader, just someone who buys estates, etc. and then resells so...

I ran this once fired brass through my C&H die and it came out with this dent. I tried to lube it with some RCBS case lube. What do y'all think I did wrong?

I am purchasing a supply of sized and primed 38 special brass from a fellow who is settling his father's estate. I don't know how long the primers have been in the brass. The primers are supposed to be CCI-500. My question is would y'all go ahead and finish loading the brass, assuming that...

Sorry for the question. You won't have to worry about any more from me.

I've read a few references to avoiding using hand loaded rounds in a firearm carried for self defense. I'm curious about the logic behind such advice. Is there some kind of legal issue? Is it just a question of reliability? At the moment I've got cor-bons in mine, but they are the last 5 from...

I just bought these dies from "the bay". I had heard / read good things about C&H dies, so I bought them. As far as I know this is all I"m getting. I had thought that straight case dies (like 38 Special) had 3 dies, one for sizing, one for decaping and expanding and one for seating. Does anyone...
