For rifle, I buy RCBS competition seater dies because of the top load feature. A lot of factors go into concentric ammo output including dies, press, shellholder & set-up. For forming & sizing rifle cases I prefer Redding. For general pistol loading Lee dies have some excellent features (FCD &...

Could be due to an imperfection in the crown. It would interesting to see the effects of a re-crown.

YIKES! Maybe its just the picture, but that thing looks like a monster!! :)

Hmmmm..... No pictures in this thread of Labradar's with holes through the middle of 'em. I guess it's because they don't sit in front of the muzzle. But I've heard a lot of folks swear & cuss & threaten to shoot theirs on purpose!...LOL

Off the shelf .410 shells of any load have been almost non-existent in my area. Not too long ago, I got a sale ad from Academy stores with some 2-1/2" #7-1/2 win shells. Price with shipping was just over $20/box. I ordered 5 boxes. After I ordered the 5 boxes & kept thinking about it, I decided...

I found these "T" nuts at the local hardware store. They are about a $1 a piece. When I re-surfaced my loading bench top I flush-mounted 1 about every 18" (btw; my bench is 10' long). I cut some metal plates & drilled & taps some holes to mount my powder measure stand & my bench primer. Unlike...

Yep, that's who I was talking about & Chad is 'good people'.

A professional commercial reloader might be a good starting point for you. There is one here in the Dallas area that loads a minimum of 50 rounds using brand new brass & fresh powder & primers. He's been in business long enough to know what works for a customer's particular rifle. I suggest that...

I've been a SS hunter for a few years now. I like how they can be made short & handy. Great for blind hunting. Easy to maneuver.

Some years back, I met a fellow at the rifle range that was shooting a scope-less .30-30 lever gun from the bench. I took a look at his target through my spotting scope & at 100 yds he was putting bullets into 1" to 1-1/2" groups! This perked my interest & made me nosy & curious. He had a...

There is no doubt the .30-30 is an excellent deer round. What many shooter's complain about is the "pie-plate" accuracy of the old lever guns. The upper ejection that prevents a standard scope mounting is another turn-off. As mentioned, the flat-nose bullet requirement doesn't generate any love...

The design of the 6PPC cartridge has a slightly undersize flash-hole. It will stick a standard pin. The Mighty Armory die can be ordered with different pin sizes including for the PPC cartridges. I've de-primed many thousands of cases with it & never broke a pin. I've accidentally punched...

A universal de-capper is a must have for me. I've tried several & can say the Mighty-Armory is the best there is IMHO.

MEC 600 .410 shell reloader. Now need to find components....

I like the way you think....;)

The charge bar alone is worth $10.

I just don't understand any federal gun control issues. There is an old saying "Don't let the fox in the hen house." No lectures needed on this forum for what the 2nd amendment really stands for. It is not about hunting or target shooting. It's about the right of self-protection & protection...

I hope you're right.

The critical components to contain a firearm's pressure are the barrel, locking lugs & bolt head. The AR "extension" design makes the locking lugs part of the barrel. There seem to be a lot of advantages to this. An extra-heavy action is longer required. It could be made of lighter/cheaper...

The .223 is a great cartridge! Light recoil, superb accuracy, inexpensive to shoot & plenty of components available. Just take a look at the available load data & bullet weights available. Highly popular. What's not to like?
