I have read the threads on here which explain a little more case belling than normal is required to prevent scraping Hi-Tek coating during seating. My expander die is set with a generous amount of flare, and most of my rounds do not scrape during seating, but some do (maybe 5-10 out of every...

I've been reloading for a little over 2 years. I keep a spreadsheet, which shows 10,500 rounds loaded, mostly pistol. I've never had anything close to a squib, but I just upgraded from a Lee Classic Turret to a Dillon XL650, and had an issue with the first batch. I loaded 300 rounds on the...

I decided to try a WAOAW scale, but it's having an issue after a month of use. It works on the original batteries, but I am having problems getting new batteries to work in it. It's this version with 0.00 grain resolution. The original batteries are almost dead and the display shows 'Lo' after...

I have 500 of these to load: 10/40 180gr HP copper plated. Not exactly my first choice, but a friend got out of reloading and sold me a box for a price I could not refuse. I'm looking for a place to start with load data and have a question. I'm currently using HP-38. The Lyman 49th ed. has a...

I recently had an issue with some 9mm loads. I loaded several hundred 115 gr LRN from Missouri Bullet and seated them to 1.100 (from Hodgdon data). The powder is HP38 and I used 4.5 grains. Starting / Max is 4.3-4.8. At the range a couple of weeks ago, my Glock 17 locked 1/4" out of battery...

In general, I think gun stickers on vehicles are a bad idea. Maybe an NRA sticker or Gadsden Flag is okay. I don't do it, but I don't judge unless it's one of those ridiculous macho man type stickers. Examples: 45, because they don't make a 46 45 ACP, because shooting twice is silly Armed...

I'm preparing to reload some 180gr Missouri Bullet TCFPs (IDP #5 401180M). The powder I'm using is HP-38. It's easy to go to the Hodgdon site and get load data for HP-38, but I'm confused why they list load data for specific projectiles (Berry's, XTP, Speer, etc). Does it matter or is a 180gr...

Hello All, I am new to reloading. I'm looking for any wisdom or advice that you might have regarding reloading safety, etc. I've been shooting for 15 or so years, but I've always used factory ammo. About a month ago, I purchased a Lee Classic Turret Press and made a dedicated reloading room...
