    New House - Reloading/Storage Advice Needed

    We expecting to close on a new home by the end of the month. It has a partial basement which has high humidity and moisture and a garage. The humidity in the basement will have to be dealt with using a dehumidifier and some other work that we need to do. Give those two choices, where would you...

    First equipment purchase - please review

    I would suggest NOT getting the #1 shellplate and get the #45 instead direct from Hornady. I find the #1 loose for 45ACP. At the same time, I would recommend getting the pistol metering insert and rotor combination, as well as, one additional standard pistol metering insert (also only available...

    First Time Setting Up My Reloading Stations

    I believe my Hornady instructions state that the pin should extend 3/16" beyond the die body.

    HOW does the RCBS lock out die work?

    Yeah, I'll open it up and clean it. Maybe that will improve my results.

    HOW does the RCBS lock out die work?

    No, I think in the instructions it said not to disassemble.

    HOW does the RCBS lock out die work?

    I am resurrecting this thread because I'm having a little difficulty getting one set-up (actually bought four!). I read the instructions and it does not seem to be operating correctly. I had it working for a 20-40 rounds but then it started getting finicky. Can anyone provide any advice? I was...

    SKS and headspace

    It was unissued so it sounds like headspace should not be an issue. I will check the firing pin to ensure it moves freely. I imagine it will since I cleand and lubed everything but I will make sure since I can't be certain. Thanks for the advice!

    Do you need calipers and cartridge gauge?

    I like case gauges a lot. They are very handy when setting up your dies to make sure the cartridge has the right dimensions and will chamber. I found it especially helpful when taper crimping. I taper crimp just enough so that it falls into the case gauge freely.

    SKS and headspace

    I purchased an unissued SKS from a gun show last year. I have yet to shoot it. I cleaned it all up and it looks fantastic. Do I need to get the headspace checked? Is there anything I should check myself? Thanks, AJ

    RCBS Bullet Puller problems

    I find it's harder to get the lighter bullets like 9mm to come out rather than 45ACP for instance. I agree with the previous poster that said not to let it bounce back. Fewer harder whacks with follow-through is all you need.

    Newbie 38 special/357 mag question

    I am just starting to set-up for .38 special. I am adjusting the dies and thought I had everything worked out. The problem is the bullet has slight twist movement. I don't want to roll crimp any more as it looks like the right amount of crimp. Should I maybe not seat the bullet as deeply so I...

    Loading primers on Hornady LNL AP

    Hornady makes a 45ACP specific shellplate. The part # is 392645. I find that there is quite a bit of slop with the #1 shellplate and plan to order the 45ACP version early next week. I've had some brass hit the leading edge of the Hornady sizing die. I have had a few missing primers with 45ACP. I...

    Using brass rod for low primer?

    How are you guys using the Dillon low primer alarm with the Hornady? Mine seems to hit the powder measure when I mount it.
