most people don't clean the brush and keep running the same gunk down the bore over and over again. I clean bore brushes after every pass with wd40 (any solvent should do) and dab with a paper towel. luck, murf

Did you measure both sides of the gap? they can be different. murf

don't pull that finger!! murf

I go shooting about once every other month. I shoot my pocket gun, a ruger lcpII, every time I go. I shoot either the g19 or the g30 every time, also. my dry fire practice is nearly non-existent. So far, I can still hit stuff with all my handguns. murf

I hike a five mile trail twice a week. In addition to a ten pound water pack, i carry an lcpII and two extra mags in my front pockets (load is 68 grain xds (20 oz. total weight)). with all the other stuff (wallet, keys, knife, lighter) in those pockets, I wear suspenders to keep my pants up...

wd40 and a q-tip gets the crud out. murf

had a lot of a usa cases in the 38 spl pile i just got done uniforming. Quite a few had tight pockets that grabbed the uniforming tool and torqued it sideways sticking it in the pocket. I had to treat those like I was tapping a hole: run the tool in a bit, back it out to clean the chips...

also use 5.0 grains with the 230 gn lrn in my g30. One can only has about 1000 grains left, but I still agree with you. murf

ocd baby!!

What a coincidence! I am right in the middle of processing a bunch of 38 spl brass. I don't discriminate and run a uniformer through all pockets: That should solve the problem. And, as one poster has mentioned, it is a one-and-done proposition. I also trim all to min length (done...

Sounds like a Lewis lead remover would be useful here. Lead and high pressure are a lethal combination for a forcing cone. luck, murf

Get a big tarp. murf

no, but I bet if you trim your cases all to the same length, your "problem" goes away. Cudos for using a separate crimp die, murf

it would be interesting to find out if the rechamber job included a recess. murf

and the mystery of the recessed chambers continues. murf

here is a 38-44 heavy duty cylinder with a smooth rear end: I can't imagine s&w worrying about a handloader shooting a 38-44 pressure load using balloon head cases. On the other hand, loading a 38 special balloon head case to 357 magnum pressure levels and firing in a 357 magnum chambered...

I use gourmet toothpics (much stronger than regular ones) to clean out the recesses on my 22lr revolvers. The carbon build-up is hard enough to require the stronger pick. murf

boyle's law does not apply when you are deflagrating powder. a medium crimp in the middle of the cannelure is recommended here. any problem with that, seat and crimp separately. luck, murf

A 300 grain bullet @ 1100 fps is a RUGER ONLY load per the Speer #12 manual. Do not persue this terrible idea that this load can be fired out of any 45 colt chambered firearm. Your info is flat wrong. Thank you for coming here first, murf

Thx for the concise question. Here is my 1000 word dissertation on the subject: The dies used: The wimpy press used: All cases were lubed before sizing; the 380 die was set to touch the shell holder, the 9mm dies were set to cam over slightly; cases were randomly selected out of a pile of...
