Sizing 308 today with rcbs small base die and my rcbs expander ball stripped threads and was left inside a 308 case. Was doing mixed cases and graphite lube. Not sure if was loose or lube but doesn't matter. Had to cut case open to retrieve ball but threads on rod and ball were pulled clean...

Got my shotshells loaded up #12 and some 7 1/2 and 4 shot. Going to load to what Speer recommends but They slide in even an unsized fired case to 1.500 with zero effort. They measure .419 or so and instructions have .430 and of course case is around .429. It says seat to 1.600 and while i...

Shooting in a 6" anaconda. MBC coated 240g rnfp. Finally found some 44 spec brass. Loaded up a few with 7.5 unique and worked well but a little Smokey. Not interested in increasing charge with unique. Manual shows titegroup, 2400, bullseye and 231 which I have. I figure 2400 is not the...

Guys, using a standard lee sizing die. All rounds chamber in my rock river 10 and work as they should. They fit case gauge. Will not fully chamber in my new m1a, about 1/8" from fully chambering. The base of a factory round a bit above rim is .462 and my sized brass using lee dies is .467...

Asking for folks help here. Looking to upgrade to a higher grade 1911. I have Springfield a1 and just recently got a garrison. Honestly both of them treat me well. Looking for advice on a Las baer, probably premier ii or a Wilson combat ?. Anyone have any pros and cons of either, done a...

Lgs fooled me and now have both of the above on the counter. I am just a plate and old pbr shooter for fun. Too bad neither are drilled for mrd or rail which is kinda odd as anaconda top strap not much different and it is set up for a rail. Any opinions or thoughts are welcome.

https://www.gmansportingarms.com/about-us Looks like new co. Anyone used them. Have fed 5.7 for 28.99, fed 510 22 for 2.99 nd blazer 124 fmj for 11.62. Free shipping on 400. Never tried them but prices are good. 9mm for that I won't reload em. Any feedback. Thx

Anyone have instructions on how to calibrate the above. I have the brass weight in the compartment if scale. Looking online I just can't find right manual and other manuals aren't the same.

Darn folks here got me thinking again which may be bad. Do you prefer loading magnum or special rounds in the above? I load more 38 special since my 1894 feeds them better and I have a couple 38 revolvers that I enjoy. Really enjoy 38 wadcutters too. 38 brass seems plentiful. Just starting...

Sorry for all the posts but I can't wait to load this. Any pet loads out there. I figure I'll use 240 gr coated or lead swc and xtp's. I only list powders below I have. I see a couple powders on hodgdon loads as 5744 and titegroup which intrigue me. More likely though I'll use unique, 2400...

Kinda wondering how folks afford to shoot much or the bigger bores with the cost of factory ammo. I recently paid 55 for 50 at lgs and a lot I see online is at the 1.00 per round and up. Quick figure buying all components not casting. I know better deals on components out there and my primers...

Ok, I have been beat up a couple times on the subject so I found my bag of culled Norma brass. Was scrounged maybe 5 or 6 months ago so no idea on what Norma flavor it is. The flash hole in a couple random win brass best I can measure is around .075. A new Lee pistol decapping pin measures...

I almost dislike shooting my ruger just due to the hammer. The dang thing has sharp edges, sharp checkering and just plain uncomfortable. All my other revolvers in same or even larger caliber are many times more comfortable and fun to actually cock. Does anyone know if someone makes a...

Got me some fiocchi defense ammo. Says 1330 fps on box but has virtually no crimp and for sure no roll crimp. Haven't shot yet but if these were my handloads I'd get beat up.

Lgs has a couple new colt anaconda's listed and I wondered if anyone had any thoughts here on grip size, weight, shoot ability, etc. One of them is listed as a blem. Not sure if I'd be interested in a blem or not. They are both listed at a little under 15 bill, both 6". I watched hickok45...

Ole mark_mark's talk about cheap pistols made me dig mine out. Not sure when both made. They both have different markings and even different safety operation. One slides crossways other up and down. Maybe one is new and improved. The black one looks like it has a guy carrying a sword on...

Received my holosun mgd so I had to try it out. Was not warm so didn't try it out long. Came with 2 13 round mags and was 349 before gov at lgs. Ran a patch or 2 through and put a few drops of Lucas extreme oil on rails and in trigger area. High dollar for an ounce but works well and...

I believe old golden bullets. Was given a bag full of them that wouldn't fire. I tried then and yes maybe 2 out if 10 fired and they were very mild. Some had corrosion on them. Didn't really know what to do with so... Was bored so I broke down. Got 49,500 grains of lead and 2,130 grains of...

Any opinions on the above. Will be for a tx22 compact. The price difference is irrelevant. I currently have a couple Burris ffiii's one on gp100 and one on tx22 comp both with red dot and a vortex venom on 357 1894 also with a red dot, I am kinda torn if I should stick with red or go green...

Was bored picking up some range brass today and sorting tonight. After just dawn and water wash in the sink it is easy to spot norma cases. The brass is amazingly clean inside. Makes me wonder what kind of powder they use. I need to stop and grab an empty box outta trash to see what they are...
