So I finally got a friend into seeing the upside of reloading. We analyzed his needs and his inclinations, to determine that a Lee Pro 6000 was the way to go. ..with the addition of the Lee Inline Bullet Feeder and the RCBS Powder Cop For those so inclined, save your suggestions that he should...

I've read about this before, but haven't encountered it on my SPP, while loading .45ACP, in the first couple thousand rounds I'm referring to the spring that powers the case feeder slide. After sliding the case into the shell plate (handle up, shell plate down), as you pull the handle toward...

I was an early adopter of the Lee Six Pack Pro (SPP) and have become a big fan…and a Lee fan…of the direction that they are going. It is really nice that the SPP comes with a case feeder. My only concern with the case feeder was that it was attached to the shellplate assembly and moved up and...

I pretty much only reload for handguns...because I shoot a lot of rounds each year in competition...and while I have rifle dies in a couple of calibers, I've just never gone down that rabbit hole. I've had a bolt action for years...Steyr Pro Hunter with synthetic stock and 26"barrel...that's...

So I picked up a Mark 7 Apex-10 progressive press when they discounted them down to MAP pricing (about 30% off). I have to admit it is a very impressive piece of equipment and I can see why it is considered a product-improved Dillon 1050 Being a piece of the well known rabbit hole that...

I was going through Chrono at a match recently and got to talking to a staff member about shooting revolvers in ICORE or USPSA. The hot ticket is currently the 8-shot 9mm revolvers. The throat of most of the cylinders seem to measure .357", so it isn't unusual to load using .38Spl bullets. A...

Several years ago, I asked for imput as to the ultimate dies (not sets) to load 9 x 19mm. I got a lot of very useful advice and thought I'd share my journey in selecting the dies that seem to work best. I have both a Hornady LNL AP and a Dillon 750 on my bench. The 750 belongs to a friend and is...

It looks like the CZ Group, the parent company of CZ (Česká zbrojovka) is set to purchase all of Colt Manufacturing Company's assets including their Canadian subsidiary. Seeing how successful CZ has been and how Colt has struggled since their bankruptcy, I'd say this is a positive sign. It...

I've been running a Ruger Pistol Caliber (9mm) Carbine and have been experiencing a issue with FTEject. I'm using the Glock Magazine Well assembly, feeding from Glock 33rd magazine What I'm experiencing is a classic stovepipe with the spent casing being caught between the front of the ejection...

I've been loading 9mm for a while now and I'm currently loading RMR 124gr MatchWinners loaded to 1.114" OAL over 3.6grs of Alliant E3 for my SIG P320 (3.9") and S&W M&P9 (4.5")...to make 130PF (~1050fps) I was playing with a Ruger PC Carbine (16") and need to make 135PF. The issue I'm having...

A S&W M-41, with both barrels, may be coming available shortly as part of a estate sale...and I'm interested. I was wondering if current or past users/owners would be willing to share their experiences concerning them. Especially interested in quirks they may have and possible hacks/tweaks...

I have a friend who I got into reloading. He bought a Dillon 750 and will be setting it up in my garage, until he finds room in his house (career change), on a Inline Fabrication Ultramount (already mounted on my bench). I helped another friend set up a used 650 a while back and we applied most...

I'm going to play with a .45ACP revolver. I've read some manuals and done some research and thought I'd ask to see if folks here had any leanings as to my choices. I'm looking at pushing a 200gr bullet to about 800fps or a 230gr one at about 700fps...out of a 4" revolver. On the VV website it...

I was shooting a match (ICORE) with a friend over the weekend and he had a malfunction come up that I'd never seen and can't quite figure out. He was shooting, .38Spl loaded with 158gr FPRN (looked a lot like Xtreme), in a 686 in DA when his hammer stopped moving . He was still pressing the...

I was shooting a match (ICORE) with a friend over the weekend and he had a malfunction come up that I'd never seen and can't quite figure out. He was shooting a 686 in DA when his hammer stopped moving . He was still pressing the trigger and it just jammed. As he continued to apply pressure...

The Arizona Department of Public Safety found a Safety Concern while testing the FNS pistols for possible adoption. This is the same issue that the Baltimore County Police have experienced and caused them to withdraw their FNS pistols from duty. Apparently the issue is that the pistols will...

I had a friend thinking about getting a 1911 for some IDPA competition. We're in CA, so our selection is a bit limited. He asked about the Rock Island Armory (RIA) line, specifically the Pro Match Ultra .45 which runs in the neighborhood of $700. Looks like a competitor for the Springfield...

Four years ago I started a thread asking for suggestion for the Ultimate Die Set. Since then I've loaded some .40, .45ACP, and most recently mostly .38Spl for competition. I had to put together some 9mm cartridges to shoot in a match that didn't allow revolvers (IDPA CCP and BUG) so I dug out...

I was discussing, with a meat world friend, trimming some handgun brass (.38Spl) for the upcoming competition season and an odd topic came up that I hadn't really given much thought. (If you don't believe in trimming handgun brass, don't judge...it isn't constructive and doesn't address the...

I recently won a Glock 30S at a GSSF match. It has a captive recoil spring assembly. I was wondering if anyone was aware of the availability of aftermarket springs, of different weights, to allow me to work up different loads for it
