Gents, I have a unique situation I am trying to work thru. I've been shooting for many years. I've been shooting TSA (two gun) for about 5+ years. I have permanently lost the vision in my "strong eye" and am now having to shoot left handed with my Tavor. My issue is, I'm finding using a...

Hey Gents, I'm looking to get a new optic, and I have a little different circumstance - I'm a right hander but lost vision in my right eye and have to shoot as a Lefty now. Besides it obviously making everything more difficult, one of the worst seems to be target acquisition as I am not as...

I have been reloading some .223's for competition shooting. (T.S.A.) It seems some of the brass with the (for lack of a better term) 4 point crimp is shaving off little slivers when I press the primer into the case. (I'm using a Dillon 550). The tiny finger nail shaped shaving then get between...

Just curious if anyone ever swaps brass? I sometimes get brass I don't reload and would like to just swap/trade it as opposed to............whatever. I don't have much other than what I reload but...just curious.

I want to build an accurate round for my Tavor. I'm trying to plunk it for the best OAL but not having much luck. I've done this before but only on my .9mm and .40 cal. handguns, (with great success in the accuracy dept.). I tumbled, trimmed and deburred a few cases and set the bullets in...

I was just knocking out a couple hundred rounds and when I went to dump my spent primers, I had what could be a crazy thought. Could a person save up a BUNCH of spent primers and use them as tumbling media?? My guess is there is probably a good reason or two for not doing it but, I won't know...

Hey Gents, I've been loading 9's for about 2 years now and have come up with a few great recipes using different bullets. It's amazing the difference it makes. Now since I bought a .40 I want to do the same. My problem is I can't seem to get past the plunk test. Here's the thing: I...

After several thousand rounds of reloading pistol calibers, I am now ready to start gearing up and reloading rifle rounds. .223 to be exact. I wanted to learn and get some experience with pistol rounds first, as was suggested here. I have found a couple excellent recipes! It really makes this...

I have been doing it for awhile now but got to thinking: maybe, for longevity of my tumbler's sake, I should back down a little from what I am doing now. I have a Lyman Turbo Pro 1200. I usually tumble about 400 9mm cases at a time (A Jif peanut butter plastic jar almost full). It seems to do...

I have been working on recipes using 5 different bullets, 2 different powders, a little variation in OAL (altho I "plunked my barrel" and try to stay with that). I have found a couple "pretty good" combinations for cast bullets but they just do not compare to the accuracy of the FMJ. To me...

What can I measure with my calipers to verify their accuracy? I have 2 sets and they differ. I was trying to think of something that is an exact known measurement, or, something one of you could measure that I could as well. Any suggestions?? Thanx.

Just curious as to what your personal opinion is about the set back length from max. oal to the realistic usable oal? (after in depth "plunk test") I have seen a couple different opinions as to the lengths people prefer and was wondering if there was a reason for the different opinions. ie...

Has anyone noticed Titegroup causing lead cast bullets to tumble?? I'm working with 125gr bullets. (9mm in a P99) I started with 3.2gr of TG. Could it be a softer lead in these bullets being the issue? This is the first I have tried of these altho I have worked up cast 115's and cast 147's...

I have seen a few "hammer style" and they all look the same. What would be the better/best one? Thanx

OK, I have the Lyman's manual, went to Handloads.com and have been reading a lot on here and the net., in general. I've come up with what I think will work but I've had to be a little creative. And since I am a bit new to this, I thought I'd play cautious and fire it past you guys first. (no pun...

I mentioned this on another thread but I thought it warranted a thread of it's own. Hopefully others can use the info but I am really curious about this. Here is what prompted the question: I took a class on reloading and was told that, when shot, a lighter bullet will make the muzzle of...

Hello All, First off - what an outstanding site!! I am somewhat new to this hobby and have found many answers to questions I have - and some I didn't even know I had! :rolleyes: - in reading some of the past threads. Thank you guys! Secondly, I found this thread...
