    Cast bullet lube?

    Can you recommend any good videos from YouTube? Most seem to be presented by newbies.

    Advice from a professional. -Lube your pistol cases.

    For 9MM, you lubers say that you lube the cases and size/deprime, immediately "bell" the case mouth, prime, powder, seat and crimp. Without ever removing the lube? I have been lubing, sizing/depriming, and then tumbling before any of the remaining steps. Trying to keep lube out of the inside...

    RMR Bullets Packaging

    Buy all RMR and never lost one in the mails. I credit the packaging not the PO.

    Starting 9mm, have some questions

    What OAL are you seating to? What handgun? I use RMR 124's to 1.110 to 1,115 with 231 grains of 4.2 and a few very weakly drop back in my face. Or only fly a few feet. The deeper you seat the more pressure, correct?

    First Stovepipe- cause?

    I appreciate all the comments. The limp wristing is possible but I doubt it. While practicing, I did shoot a few rounds with my off hand and a few single handed but as best that I recollect that was not the stove pipe. The 200 rounds in the new Equalizer were for familiarization. 30 Rounds of...

    First Stovepipe- cause?

    Yesterday, out of a batch of 200 9MM I had one stovepipe. First ever with my S & W Equalizer. Trying to figure out why. Light load? Weak spring in gun? I did clean the extractor pretty good the last time . Ideas?

    Buyer Beware ammo purchase

    I picked up some "Troy" headstamps at the range recently and research says they are connected to Turkey (?) and somehow shipped in a Winchester box saying Made in USA. Plan to toss them.

    Reloading really is becoming a labor of love

    I still have components from before the pandemic, although I am good for about 2 months before the old stuff gets used up. 223 is still costing me 22 or 23 cents.

    Holosun Reflex Sight-proper sighting

    Let me clarify. Should the target and the red dot be center of the glass in order to be set up correctly and hitting the bull? Right now, it is set so the target and the red dot are line up at the bottom center of the rectangular glass to make a good hit on target.

    Holosun Reflex Sight-proper sighting

    I just bought and installed an HS507KX2 on a 9mm S & W. I am having trouble with the sight picture. I searched youtube for the proper sight picture and even Googled it. I found nothing useful, so here I am. I went to the range, placed the firearm on a rest and started testing. With the red dot...

    .223 Brass Choices

    Wolf, PPU, WIN USA 5.56, PMC, RP, and FC. Me, I scrap Wolf, WIN USA, and usually avoid RP. I like PMC, then PPU and will use FC.

    Prescription eye protection

    BTW- all three sets of glasses were obtained and paid for to an Eye Doctor.

    Prescription eye protection

    I bought a pair of expensive reading prescription shooting glasses and saw the two pistol sights perfectly and down range was a blur. Then bought another pair with just distance prescription (which I should have kept) and the sights were very blurred. Got a third pair with distance on the top...

    Primer Pickup Tubes for Hornady LnL

    From time to time, it helped if I dipped the tip of the pick up in carbon case neck lube.

    Gun range/Club rates

    Yep. a NYC permit is good only inside NYC and meaningless outside of NYC. There are less than a dozen ranges for 8 million citizens and NONE of them have any parking for your car. Just the way they want it......

    Wayne LaPierre is resigning.

    Except that Titsie James will take credit for his demise.

    Is it bad I don't think I'd like a progressive press?

    See westrover comments. If I bought and loaded say new Starline brass, there would be a new Dillon 750 on my workbench.

    Is it bad I don't think I'd like a progressive press?

    My sentiments exactly. Where did you buy your Wilson Seating dies?

    Is it bad I don't think I'd like a progressive press?

    I lusted after a Dillon for years and certainly I can afford one. I will not buy a Dillon and certainly not any other "progressive" press. My primary reason- fear of error and a kaboom. I will continue to load on a T7 indefinitely. It meets my needs 100%.
