Anybody have any issues with Winchester Small Pistol primers in your Dillon? I finished up with some CCI's that for the most part worked well. But I had a few hundred Winchesters that I wanted to use up, so I switched over to them, and it was downhill from there. I ended up using about 350 of...

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to load a bunch of 38 Special practice rounds. Since the 'special has been around a while, and there's lots of experience with it, I don't see any real reason for me to go out and find a good load "from scratch" when I'm sure there are many of you guys out there...

Has anyone used Alliant Steel for anything other than the advertised steel shotshell application? I bought a pound of it a couple of years ago to try in 12ga deer slug loads, but never got around to trying it. Just wondering if anyone else has experimented with it?

I ordered a VibraPrime Sunday evening, it arrived this morning. Just took it out of the package, attempted to install the batteries, and this is what greeted me... This is all the further I could lift the battery holder out of the unit... LOL

Well... I've been thinking hard about getting into a Dillon for the past 2 or 3 years now, ever since I got my CCW permit, and started shooting semi-auto handguns. Before, all of my reloading requirements were more than adequately met with my RockChucker and my old inherited RCBS JR2 presses...

Has anyone tried one of the aftermarket Dillon machined toolheads that are available on eBay? A bit cheaper than the DP cast tool heads... just wondering if they are any good, if the holes are properly aligned, etc... Any problems? Thanks!!

Hey guys, Anyone have any current promo codes for Dillon?

Hey guys, I've been kicking around the idea of getting a Dillon... Mostly loading 40S&W to begin with, then adding 38Spl/357 Magnum. What would you go with... the Square Deal B or the 550C? Why? Like I said, just kicking it around... I've been handloading since the late 1980's I guess...

The wife and I have started trying to get into shape... so we've started walking. The road we live on has a state penitentiary about 10 miles down the road... so we get a lot of, let's say, "questionable" people going to visit their buddies and loved ones staying in the state hotel, along with...

Hey guys, I got about 700 pieces of once fired brass from a buddy of mine... so I figured I'd buy a set of dies and start loading for the 40. I've got a bunch of Berry's 155gr Flat point bullets on hand right now. Wondering what the best powder is for the 40... here's what I have on hand...

I've got nearly 1/2 pound of some old Alcan #5 powder that I got from my Dad... the can that it is in is marked "November 1973"... old stuff. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has any old manuals that show any data for 44Special with 200gr RNFP cast and Alcan #5? I set up the chrony and...

Anybody out there use Dry Lubricant, specifically, Liquid Wrench dry lubricant with Cerflon, for their carry gun? Dry means no oil to catch dirt and grit, and the dry lube should last long enough to lubricate for a magazine or two worth of firing. Any opinions?

Traded my SCCY CPX-2 for a used but like new S&W M&P Shield 40. Just got my M&P 40 Shield home this afternoon. Just before the sun went down, I got to take it outside and put 50 rounds of Winchester White Box through it... I LOVE this pistol! It was a used gun, but there is not a...

Went over to the LGS today, and made a trade: my SCCY CPX2 + $150 for a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield .40. Not the deal of the century I don't think, but not too bad. Opinions?

I'm wanting to add a .357 Magnum to my safe. I'm a Ruger guy, my wife thinks she likes Smith's better. My question is... and I'm not meaning to/really don't want to start a Ford/Chevy war here... I'm looking at Ruger GP100's and S&W 686 and 686 Plus. What are the advantages and disadvantages...

Hey guys, My old chest of drawers that I use to store my powder in keeps shrinking... it won't hold all of my powder anymore. Just wondering what you guys are using to store your powder in... anything innovative? I'm thinking of getting a file cabinet... or one of the tall plastic...

Howdy guys, Just getting active again in handloading after an 8~10 year hiatus... I used to shoot IHMSA silhouette competition back in the 90's... so I've got a bit of handloading experience under my belt. CCW has gotten me back shooting again, and I just loaded up a bunch of 44 Special...
