Barrel maker Lilja lists 85-90 as ideal. The 55's usually will work, but can be a crap shoot. Bullets from 60 thru 100 may work.

1in9twist WELCOME TO THR! Sorry! There's no free lunch! You just have to see what your weapon likes. Pick a powder or three, start a min' and work up to max.

shep243 WELCOME TO THR! The most common mistake is not to read and understand at least two manuals before attempting to start loading. Just remember not only are you getting involved in a fun and rewarding hobby, but your inattention or ignorance can jeopardize and/or damage your equipment...

JimKirk The beauty of the LNL bushing system is that you can exchange 3 dies in about 30 seconds. Shell pate change in about a minute, and if needed primer size change in 1 minute. If you have the micrometer dial inserts which are pre-set for the powder measure, changing the powder and...

Read my post http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=520154 The beauty of the LNL AP is that you can remove the dies quickly, and run it as an indexing single stage. I have the LNL AP and a Dillon 550. The 550 is manual index, and is a pain in the carborosticus maximus once you load...

I have the LNL AP and it is great! However, does your monthly shooting rounds count exceed a thousand per month? If not, then you may be better off with another press. The only absolute about starting to reload is: You will shoot more. Lots more! Yes, it is possible to start with the LNL...

You should call or e-mail Lee and discuss it with their people. If there is a problem with the die, they will make it right.

HOWARD J If patience is a is a pain in the a$$ for you, may I suggest: 1. that you eat more fiber and whole grains; or 2. have your underaged daughter come home with a middle eastern terrorist operative, and announce that he is the father of your unborn grandchild. I guarantee that...

If you go to the Hornady section on the Powder measure accessories http://www.hornady.com/store/Lock-N-Load-Powder-Measure-and-Accessories/ and go down to the Rifle and Pistol rotors. These can be adjusted to any powder. When you attain the wanted load, you have two options: 1) record the...

ddross WELCOME TO THR!!! It all depends! If you are loading pistol, once you get the measure set, every 10 rounds is good using flake powder, if using spherical (ball) powders, usually once it is set it rarely changes, especially with the Lyman 55. You still may wish to check every 10-20...

greg1 WELCOME TO THR!!! Another sign that the powder is bad is the smell. If it smells acrid or "unpleasant", it is probably bad. Powders that smell "sweet" from the solvents, alcohols and acetones, it is good to go. Good Shooting!

Any time you use acids (vinegar), bases (ammonia), or salt on cartridge brass, you can get chemical reactions that alter the brass. The key element is time, how long is the substance in contact with the brass. The scientific reason WHY NOT TO OVER USE any compounds with these substances is...

They are procuced with the headstamp code FC, by Federal Cartridge Corp., Anoka, MN 55303; and also produced in Germany and Austria for Federal. This is according to Cartridge Collectors Website.

I have 45ACP brass that has well over 20 loadings (I quit counting at 20). I have 40SW that is around 10 loadings. I just shoot them til they split. If you are shooting near max, then you will get fewer loads.

Forget A-MERC, it's trash.

The first thing is to determine which bullet is best for the twist. Well known barrel maker Lilja says 80gr is ideal, so weight from 69 to 90 may also work well. Then you pick a powder (or whatever is availability).

The 12 twist is ideal for 55-60gr bullets, it may shoot the 52 or 63 grain bullets. I would choose the 60 gr for first tests. As for the method you are proposing. Since 0.3-0.5 grain variatio in any given powder will tighten/widen up a group, the powder you pick from your method may not...

Poppa Nectie WELCOME TO THR!!!! All the previous posts are good, but how can we help you best, unless we know what cartridges you will load??????? Please let us know what you will be loading. I have 2 single stage presses, and the 550, and the LNL AP. Until recently, I only loaded...

Not only are the bullets very accurate, but my dealings with the people at Montana Gold have been great. Nice crew!
