Hey guys, I have 1000 pieces of .223 brass that I'm having some trouble with. I ordered these through Diamond K brass. On the phone they said that all their brass is indeed swaged and that they recommend reaming all their swaged brass also. About 25% of the brass looks like this and it's...

I was wondering if anyone out there has some advice concerning converting a cold storage room into a walk in gun safe. My house is 1 year old. Under the front porch I have a cold storage room that is approximately 95 sq ft and encased completely in concrete. A local company says that they can...

Hey guys. I just wanted to ask if anyone else has had major issues using CBC brass in 9mm? I setup my Dillon 650 last night to try a new load. I set it up to go with 1.050" OAL, 4.0gr of HP38, and a 124gr MBC smallball. After making my dummy rounds I threw in 100 pieces of CBC brass (I...

Hey guys. I have a big problem with my new old stock 610-3. My first shots revealed something interesting. My load was as follows: Case: New Starline Bullet: Hornady 200gr XTP Powder: Bluedot Charge: 9.3 OAL: 1.260" I was using rimz moonclips. After firing I couldn't eject the spent...

Hey guys. I'm pondering the purchase of a desert eagle to go along with all my other big boomers. I've been told that DE's are very hard on brass, and in some cases chewing up the brass so bad you can't use it again. As an avid reloader I wouldn't want this to happen to all my precious...

Hey guys. I'm trying to help a friend get into reloading. He owns a LAR Grizzy in 45 Win Mag which is quite expensive to shoot if you use factory loads. I'm having a little trouble finding trust worthy load data on this particular cartridge. I want to make a plinking round for him, mostly...

I have a problem that when seating a bullet, the bullet will slightly "tilt" over causing the the case and bullet to be misaligned. I've tried flaring the case mouth more and less. I've tried setting the bullet onto the flared case mouth as vertically as I can, and guiding the bullet into the...

Yesterday I became the proud new owner of a slightly used .500 S&W Magnum. I've been dreaming about owning one of these for quite some time, and yesterday was the day. I picked it up for what I think was a fair price. In addition to the gun it came with 60 rounds of factory ammo (20 round lots...

I've been shooting Missouri bullets 240gr, 18 brinell hardness, Keith bullet with 6.5gr of W231. While this makes a great target plinking load, it leaves me wondering if I can push it faster with a powder such at H110, or 2400. My reloading manual has data for lead 240gr semi wad-cutters, but...

I loaded some 30-06 rounds for the first time today. With .223 I would always put the bullet tip into a soft spot, and press against the back of the case to see if I could get any bullet set back. I could apply all my might (by hand) and never had any setback with .223. When I did this with...

This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to find the answer. On a rifle cartridge, do I need case lube for the bullet seating and crimping die?

I'm doing some math here, and I'm a little confused as to why I should even bother reloading with today's component prices. Let's take .45 for example. I can go down to wal-mart and with sales tax included, purchase it for .34 per round. If I buy components off the internet, including once...
