I have some 6.5x55 Swedish practice rounds, Berdan primed with the copper cup bullet. Has anyone pulled the cup and worked up a light load using the brass and Berdan primer?

Though you guys might like this. I used to keep all my parts and pieces in a Plano clear divided fishing lure box by caliber which worked fine until my collection grew and I was hunting in the little bins for the 30 caliber shell holder which could be in any one of 4 different bins or any other...

How short is to short for 10mm brass? I have some CBC brass that measures .975 to .985 most right around .980. I'm planning on loading a light plinker load in this brass. Biggest issue I see so far is case mouth expanding especially since I'm loading .403 cast bullets.

I don't load with Hodgdon's H4895 but I acquired an open pound in plastic bottle about 10 ish years ago, a guy purchased it, used it to work up a few loads then never came back to finish loading. I opened it tonight and was surprised by the color. Not knowing what it even looks like I'm not sure...

Picked up a 10mm XDm 5.25" pistol a few days ago, Starline brass and 200 grain XTP bullets are showing up today. Hope to have a load work up ready to go for some Saturday blasting. Anything I should know about that makes the 10mm any different then loading for the .40 or any other caliber? I'm...

Anyone see inconsistent primer pocket swagging with the Dillon swagger? I swagged 500 pieces of LC18 new never fired pulled 308 brass. I set the swagger to swag the pockets so priming felt right on the first few I checked. When loading some of the brass I noticed that some primed hard. Well...

I'm gearing up to load for a 375 H&H bolt rifle and was wondering if I should be crimping these small Missiles? I don't crimp in any other bolt rifle but 7mm RM and 300 Win Mag is the biggest I have ever loaded for. Shooting 250 grain TTSX bullets. Any other tips I should know? Rifle came with...

If you own or were to purchase a Sub 2000 in .40 cal what magazine would you go with? I shoot Springfield pistols so I don't have a pistol mag preference. What's the general thoughts on the Keltec Sub? I'm looking at one for fun plinking and maybe shooting some pistol caliber carbine steel...

So here's something I haven't seen in the past. While resizing 40 brass mixed head stamp I have ran across 12 in 3000 cases that are huge all the way up the case. I know a couple cases are CBC brass. Unsized normal brass. Big brass. Bulge is all the way around the case and a lot further up...

I've been wanting to put a counter on my LnL, did a little googling and found a couple video's using a cheap punch counter. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01875612U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's a pretty cool little deal. Mount the sensor, stick the magnet to...

Decided I needed one of them 3D case feeders so I ordered one from a guy that prints them. The feeder works very well, I sanded a few parts but found out that one doesn't want to sand very much as there's more rough area under the exposed areas so a light sanding with fine grit worked best...

I'm wanting to load the Lee 358 105 SWC to shoot in my 9mm Springfield XD-e. To get the round to plunk in the barrel the little bullets need to be seated to the top of the body. Bullets are seated with the flat seater plug to get them to seat far enough without getting into the crimp...

Picked up some LC 18 308 brass so I switched the SS over to large primer for the first time ever. I have it adjusted so its swaging the primer pockets just right but I'm getting primer pockets sticking to the swage rod which I have to then fight the case and rod to get the case loose. I can see...

Anyone found a good way to remove paint off gun metal and plastic, Benelli Nova shotgun in particular? I think the paint is older Krylon spray paint which was put on around 15 years ago. About the only thing I have found that will touch it is carb cleaner but even then I had to rub the paint...

I've loaded thousands upon thousands of rounds on my LNL AP with this powder measure and never had this problem. The measure is sticking on the up stroke when loading 9mm and using the PTX in the measure. It doesn't do it all the time, i'll go 30 rounds then it will stick for a round or two...

Anyone use this primer pocket go no go gauge? https://ballistictools.com/store/swage-gage-small-primer-pocket I was loading some 30-06 brass this weekend and ran across a bunch with loose primer pockets. Thought if this gauge worked I could stop priming and measure the pockets of the rest of the...

I'm looking at the RTIC 53" hard case which is close in size to the Pelican 1750. Wondering if anyone has fit 2 scoped bolt action hunting rifles in the 1750? Looks like it would be a tight fit but doable?

Who would have thunk adding a new caliber would cause so many issues, minor at best. Picked up a Ruger 204 and first thing I realized was I don't have a cleaning rod small enough or patches a jag. Got the cleaning figured out then went to reloading, happened to find a .17 spout to attach to my...

I've done a google search and didn't find anything so I thought I would ask, maybe someone has a good idea. I get a major back log of cases at the uniforming primer pocket stage in my reloading, I use the RCBS case mate prep center where I clean up the case mouths, uniform primer pocket, debur...

Anyone else getting a warning when trying to open Cast Boolits that the site isn't safe?
