I have a Beta model that I had some trouble with this weekend. It was only the 2nd time I’ve used it (bought it new)…the first time it worked great. This time, the readings I was getting were extremely low. I was shooting a .45 ACP and measure velocities between 170 and 211 fps. It was...

Last winter I loaded some 223 with 55 gr. FMJ BT. I trimmed all the cases to the same length (1.755") and loaded to the same overal length (2.223"). I crimped all of the rounds without moving the die at all and I charged with Varget from 23 gr. to 26 gr. in .5 gr. intervals. I was able yo...

I messed up and loaded 100 or so rounds too long. They're already crimped so I don't think I can just re-seat them. My question is, do you think a bulet puller "die" for the press is worth the cost, o rshould I just stick with the inertia puller? I tend to see powder come out of the top of...

So I'm going to try casting some bullets. We decided to start with .44 mag and melted down some wheel weights and cast some ingots. We're getting ready to cast some bullets and decided maybe we should slug the barrels of the different guns. Of 5 guns, all were the same (.428)...except for one...

I tried recently to trim some .44 mag and 9mm brass. The .44 brass was sized by myself and someone else and both of us ussed RCBS carbide dies. trimmed the 9mm brass again using RCBS carbide dies. When I tried to trim the brass, the pilots for the trimmer were EXTREMELY tight in the brass...

Yesterday, I posted a question asking if anyone had any load info for a short barrel .44 mag "Short barrel .44 mag load" and I ended up even more confused. I was thinking the load for the same bullet between a 7 1/2" barrel and a 2 1/2" barrel would use different powders to optimize velocity...

Has anyone here worked up a short barrel (2") load for .44 mag 240 grain Hornady XTP HP? I haven't been able to find any load data for such a short barrel with this bullet. I don't know enough about selecting powders in relation to C.U.P., burn rates, bullet weights, etc. so I'm kind of...

I was given some .44 mag brass mfg. by Federal. There is a ring of "serrations" about where the bottom of the projectile would be on the outside of the case. You can feel them when you run them through the sizer die. Does anyone know what could cause the marks on the case? There was also a...
