    need a set of 223 dies

    To be honest, i have neck bushing dies for my 6br and 6.5x284, they are great. IF the neck wall thickness is consistent, as for my 223 for my AR 15 i have alot of mixed brass ect, neck bushings are really not what i want here in this case, i have more constant neck tension using a mandrel, so...

    need a set of 223 dies

    the way i reload my 223 now is after i FS the brass, i notice the bullets are sort of hard to seat, a lot of neck tension, so i made a mandrel that is .002 larger the the ball expander, so i have a separate operation where i run the mandrel down in the neck and then i have perfect neck tension...

    hi TfflHndn I have plenty of WSF, but never could find a powder charge for the 115, i figured the WSF was better for the heavier bullets. Chet

    barrel leading

    all powder charges when i load test are weighted, 4.7 exact. the bullets are Penn 9mm 120gr tcbb from 20yrs ago, lube looks fine and as for hardness, dont know, but if my memory serves me right, i was shooting these out of my Beretta 92FS with W 231 and dont recall the severe leading. Chet

    Glock 17 or S&W M&P 9mm?

    if the ergonomics are better for you on the M&P then go for it, a guy had one at the range a few weeks ago, he wanted to try my glock 17 and he said to try the M&P, as someone mentioned the trigger, i thought it was on safe, i will stay with the glock 17 for now, and i sort of feel the glock...

    What new 9mm?

    i had the Sig P320 ok gun, i could not get to be consistent with it, had the XDM 9mm with the 4.5" barrel, trigger pull was SO LONG, that that one had to go, i have the PPQ m2 good gun, trigger is good, barrel lock up is sloppy, i am surprised at that due to its price, overall my wife likes it...
