    Walnuts in my primer hole

    Hello all, I've done a few thousand pistol loads so far (cleaned with walnut media in a vibratory cleaner) BEFORE de-priming with no issues. Now, I've stared reloading .223 rifle brass and followed the same process. However, I've seen videos of people throwing the resized/deprimed brass...

    What to do after cast bullet sizing?

    I've looked and can't seem to find anything about this, so ask-away I go: I've just cast my first .5k of .40 cal lead bullets. I've used the liquid alox lube and passed all through the bullet sizing die. The question is, do I leave the dried alox on the bullets and load them up like they...

    Too high of a price for Barry's?

    Being new to the scene, I'm not entirely sure about prices for most supplies. I came across a range today that had a moderate amount of reloading supplies and found a few boxes of berry's plated .40cal bullets. Is $149 for 1k or these bullets too high of a price, or is it about average?

    Sources for lead

    Question for all you casters out there... Where do you get your lead? Do you buy it, or just get all the tire weights you can get your hands on? Cheers! Mad

    Off-the-wall question about cleaning media

    Is this normal?

    It's me again, the FNG... I just loaded up about 25 rounds of .40 with 6.7gr of Longshot using 180g JHPs. Since these are the very first .40's I've loaded, is this apparent case concavity normal? About 10 of the rounds out of the 25 have a slight concave sidewall on all the cases after...

    Longshot question...

    I just got back from a gun show and picked up a Lb. of Longshot powder and some bullets there. Now that I'm home and was about to sit down at the bench, I picked up the Longshot bottle and noticed it says that it's shotgun powder. Is there a different Longshot pistol powder, or is this the...

    .40 S&W, TiteGroup, and 180 JHP loads

    All, First off, I'm brand new here and I haven't been successful searching the posts, so far, so please be patient with me if this has been asked and answered before. I've just started reloading (only about 500 rounds of 9mm so far), but have run into a snag when switching the setup for...
