So, I'm in the market for a case prep center. After researching on this forum, it seems that people like the Lyman and the Frankford Arsenal. I'm looking for recommendations. I like that the FA has a built in trimmer. I already have the Lyman Universal case trimmer with the power drill adapter...

Does anyone have any experience with this chronograph? I was out on the internet searching for a remote for my ProChrono Digital and found this for the same price. So, now I am in a pickle. I can buy a remote for my old chronograph or for the same price get a whole new chronograph that hooks to...

I'm having a problem with my 50gr v-max at anything over 250 yards in .223. I'm loading it over 26gr of Varget. Seems the wind plays havoc with that light bullet. Anyone have any long range experience with these lighter bullets? I was using a 1/8 twist, 18", stainless free float barrel.

Anyone ever had this problem or know the cause. It's one fired brass from Armscor fired from a Glock 20sf. The Hornady sizing die is putting a sharp ridge right at the case head. The ridge goes about 3/4 of the way around.

I'm having problems with crimping my .357 rounds. I'll get one round set up perfectly, and the next will over crimp and be bulged and not fit in the chamber. I'm using the Hornady dies with the seater and crimp in the same die. I've done the seating and crimping in the same die many times in...

I want to start testing my hand loads for accuracy. However, I don't have much experience with revolvers and want to build up my accuracy with my 586. I don't think I'm good enough yet to be able to say that one load is more accurate than another. I'd like to load up some rounds to practice...

Has anyone set up their CE Prochrono to run off of a tablet? It requires a USB port, which some tablets have (not apple). My best guess would be that a windows based tablet would work, because the software is for a windows computer.

I'm going to build a pistol rack for my new safe. I've heard that certain types of wood and some composite materials contain chemicals which are bad for the finish on firearms. Any recommendations on what to build it out of?

I'm looking to get rid of 500 180gr lead flat point bullets by sending them down range at paper. I'd like opinions on a load that doesn't need to be very fast, or flashy. Just a nice, easy shooting, fun round that's not going to lead up the barrel. My plan is to load pretty light, no where...

Any problems with storing primers and powders in the garage? Separate of course. I hadn't been because I was worried about them getting to hot/cold or humid. My plan is to store them in some sort of locking cabinet. Temperature here ranges from low 30s in the winter (though rare) to over 100...

I was trying to determine the optimal OAL for 165g JHP (Zero Brand) in my Glock 20. I kept loading longer and longer rounds and they all passed the "plunk" test. I was way passed SAMMI spec (1.260) before the first round started hitting the rifling. I had one at 1.285 that still head-spaced...

I'm having a rough time buying a chronograph. The reviews for different brands are all over the place. My requirements are: 1. Has to have remote w/ read out 2. Track at least 5 strings of 5 to 10 shots per string and be able to recall those strings at home. 3. I shoot outside and it's...

Hi, I'm going to work up a 10mm load using 165g JHP. I have Power Pistol and Blue Dot. Lyman's 49th shows a max for Power Pistol as 8.7 for 165 TMJ. However, Alliant shows max for the same weight as 10. I expect some variance, but that seems to be a fairly large jump. Same for Blue...

What's the average price for LC once fired 5.56 brass these days? I can get them for $80/1,000. That seems to be a good deal when compared to Internet prices. What do you all think?

Trying to work up some paper punching round for 3 different small 9mms. Bullet is berrys 124gr hollow base flat point. Problems are as follows: In order of frustration 1. OAL: Hodgdon says 1.150 for this bullet, which seems pretty long to me. 1.130 to 1.135 is about max for my Glock26 as...

I am resizing with a Hornady full length sizer.* I* marked on the brass as far down as I can get the resizing died to go.* While sizing and the ram is all the way up; the shell holder is touching the die. This is when the brass is in the sizing die, so I think I am accounting for cam over.

I recently purchased the RCBS x-die Full Length in .223. Loading for 3 different ARs. Bushmaster XM15, S&W M&P 15, and a custom rifle with an BCM barrel that is chambered in 5.56 NATO Match (USMC SAM-R Chamber). Whatever that is, I've been having trouble finding out. Anyway, question is...

Ok, this is tricky to explain. I am wondering if it is possible to convert the Hornady LnL Case Activated Powder Drop (CAPD) to work like the Hornady LnL Powder Measure. I want to be able to use my Case Activated Drop as Powder Measure that is not dependent on being hooked up to a press...

Now that I have the crimp situation fixed here is my proposed load data culled from two references (Hornady and Lyman). For use S&W Shield, Glock 26, Ruger SR9c. Zero 125g JHP, 5.2g Power Pistol, OAL 1.10, mixed brass, S&B Primer. Think that's everything.

As you can see, there is a slight, almost scratch like indent around the jacketed round. Too much?
