    357mag/158gr powder recommendation

    True, but in this case it is 2400 we are talking about. Try a pound, I think you are gonna love it.

    Rem Oil Use.

    It doesn't like the cold much. I stopped using it when I had a couple long guns gum up.

    Blown primers on win brass

    I would check the primer pockets with go/no go gauges. If it is just a handful of cases I would scrap them and not worry about it.

    Little help with .308 sizing.

    Yep I agree.

    Little help with .308 sizing.

    As mentioned above, I full length size all my 308 as I have different rifles and am not gonna keep separate loads for each rifle. I agree with getting rid of the expander ball and sizing the neck in a second step. Get an expander mandrel you'll love it.

    Powder opinions

    I second the AA#9 thing. Glad I tried it. I will be testing more of the AA powders in the future.

    What's your preferred every day carry?

    I have a Sig P220 carry legion edition that I absolutely love. Goes everywhere with me. I should have bought a second one before they stopped making them.

    Case cleaning/polishing

    Clean primer pockets is the big reason I wet tumble. I just have less problems when I clean my brass that way. I'm convinced it is one of the reasons why I don't seem to have problems with the "metric" or troublesome brands.

    Big deception with S&B lpp

    I had a similar problem with genex SPP in 10mm auto with AA #9. Had stuck projectiles with a wad of yellowish half burnt powder behind the projectile. Only happens below 50 degrees F as far as I can tell. I didn't break down all the rounds because I forgot to take pictures last time and I'm...

    Crimp Swaging Die or Bench Mount Primer Pocket Swager

    The Dillon 1050 or similar is really the only answer. That being said I still have yet to acquire one. I use the Dillon super swage and it works pretty fast once you get in the swing of things. Next best option to the above as far as I can tell.

    But why....

    It does seem like he could use shorter brass and solve the case fill problem. Since he was lamenting the demise of Trail Boss and how bulky it was. I know in my Henry lever when I want subsonic for the can, I run 38 special. If I want more power, I load up 357.

    Cleaning Primer Pockets. Tools?

    I don't bother as I wet tumble and the pockets come out looking like new brass.

    Is your measure gritty with H110?

    Yeah all my lee powder measures have been sent off to greener pastures. There are just better products out there, and I got tired of always tinkering with the Lee stuff.

    Glad I did this... saved some money too!

    Yeah that is one of the nice things about 2400. I've never found the need for a magnum primer. It downloads well too. Downside these days is if you are chasing max velocity, there are better performers. I've never really been one to chase max velocity though so it works well for me.

    Glad I did this... saved some money too!

    I would run more sources than just the one manual. That being said, I don't think you could go wrong with H110. Though I use 2400 myself, both have a good reputation in the straight wall magnums.

    They all went BANG!!

    This right here is why I love THR. Congrats and welcome to the hobby!

    Nickel plated brass question

    I have quite a few nickel 9mm cases mixed in with the brass. I load them up with the brass cases for target loads. The different cases make no difference as far as I can tell. A few of the nickel cases are almost completely brass now. Only on a close inspection can you tell they were nickel...

    Lyman brass dryer

    I have had that model for a couple years. The trays are fragile. My biggest complaint really. The first one showed up with broken trays right out of the box. I called and got a new unit shipped with more broken trays. Lucky, between the two units I had a complete set and I sent all the busted...

    Vibrating Primer Tube fFllers?

    Yeah I bought one about a decade ago and it works just fine. Actually was looking at the Dillon primer filler and just couldn't come up with a reason why I needed it. That almost never happens to me haha.

    Vibe motor for powder measure - powder settling

    My theory with it was it kept the powder in the measure at a steady compact state. I can't really prove that though. Couple that with keeping the hopper full, and that really did improve the accuracy of that lee powder measure. It would stay +/- 0.1 all day. Which was a dramatic improvement...
