    Forster 3 in 1, what say you.

    An M1 Carbine is waiting for me at my FFL, I've been looking forward to having one for a while. I'm ordering reloading equipment and want to get your advice on the Forster 3 in 1 that fits on the Forster Original. This would cost me about double what pilots, collets and a de-burring tool would...

    Getting stuff together to reload M1 Carbine. I'll probably buy a few brands of loaded ammo to test the rifle and gather brass. Are there any brands better than the others or is there anything to avoid? Thanks

    M1 Carbine ammo suggestions...

    I have an M1 Carbine on the way to me and need ammo for it. There is no .30 carbine available to me here so I'll need to order on line. I could get a half a dozen boxes of various brands or a 500 round case of one brand. All brass since I'll be reloading it when the dies get here. Probably...

    COL deviation from ideal...

    You are loading 9mm on a progessive, the ideal COL for the powder and bullet combination is 1.125..... What are you willing to accept either side of the ideal? And..... Are dies like the Redding competition seating dies for pistol calibers really the cats meow?

    Using 9mm dies to load .380 auto

    My wife started shooting more than she was since she got a Bersa Thunder .380. So it's time for me to start reloading .380. I'll be reloading soft shooting practice ammo. I reload 9mm using Hornady dies, except for a Redding taper crimp die, but I have a second set of 9mm dies made by Lee...

    100# range scrap = ?# ingots

    I have roughly 100 # of range scrap. I'm mulling over the efficacy of melting them to make ingots. I reload but don't cast bullets at this time, perhaps I'd sell the lead ingots at the biannual gun show in town. What's your best guess on the amount of lead ingot that's recoverable from the...

    Scale recommendation please...

    I'm currently working with an RCBS 505 and a digital scale. The digital scale has proved to be unreliable and I don't use it for powder weights any more. The 505 is fine but I have large hands and a tremor in my hands so it gets a little tricky to move the weights sometimes. I'd appreciate...

    Question on Min. C.O.L.

    I'm new to reloading for 9mm and I'm testing various bullets. This test is for Berry's 147 over 3.0g of Tite Group. The books call for Min COl of 1.160 to 1.170 depending on the source. This COL will not pass the drop test in a CZ75b barrel. I found the best I could do was about 1.082. From...

    9mm Shell hangs up in the Expander

    9mm... Lee dies ...initial set up... Hornaday LNL AP. The shells are hanging up in the expander when the die lets go of the shell there's a hitch in the press. I can repeat this issue with the die removed from the press so I don't think it's a timing problem. I've contacted Lee, they suggested...
