I have not seen any threads on this topic in a while. For those who grind out the crimp have you seen any new tools that work better? In the past the majority of the swaging gang loved the Dillon. Any new entries? To me the process is a real pain.

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?

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...

OK. Many guys ask how many reloads can I get out of say 9MM cases? So now I am. The stock answer is until the neck splits or I lose them in the grass. I have an experiment going on that theory. I have a few thousand that are on their fifth cycle and have not had split necks or been...

I used the 115 grain RMR and the 124 grain RMR bullets. Using 4.5 grains of HP 38 in the same 9mm S & W. Really strange that both bullet weights chronoed at the same FPS. It does not make sense to me. Thoughts?

I see and pick up a lot of 9MM brass. Over the years I have only purchased CCI primers, which are silver colored. I am seeing a lot of the usual 9MM cases like blazer, win. FC , and geco. They mostly all had silver-colored primers in them. I have always presumed that the factory ammo comes with...

Am searching for an EDC in 9mm. Looked at S & W shield +, a Shield equalizer, and a Sig 365 XL. My preferences are Reliability, Ease of use, Weight, and personal feel. Also, I want to keep it under $900. The Sig was the best so far, But the slide would not lock back after the last round. The...

Anyone have an idea of what you paid for a Colt 38 SPECIAL in 1980? A 6 round revolver. $ 60 sound possible?

I am debating between the above two 9mm as everyday carry. Sig is $300 more. Plusses and minus's based on your experience?

I loaded 90 SR primers yesterday. After finishing the 90 I pulled the handle 2 or 3 times to determine that there were none left in the tube. Nothing came out. Pulled the tube, looked inside, and it was empty. Accidentally bumped the machine and 3 or 4 primers fell out. They must have been...

Over the years I have bookmarked a lot of reloading videos on Youtube, A few days ago I decided to look at a few of them. They are gone. Too many of them have been removed from Youtube, probably because they found them to be "offensive." Is there a similar service that carries reloading videos?

Did anyone notice if Jake had any sales over this Memorial Day weekend? LIke 9MM.

I am visiting there this weekend and plan to do some browsing if there is a good LGS nearby the naval base. Looking for the usual .....powder, primers Will check a Cabelas.......

I have an RCBS dry tumbler. I notice that when I put "fresh" lizard Walnut media in the hopper the brass seems to come out cleaner than when I used the old stuff. I probably use it for too long, maybe a year, before replacing it. I might clean a few thousand every month. I never actually kept...

I bought a vest and I want to trim about two inches off the upper sides. My arms are being restricted a lot by the current size. It is stab and bullet proof, so I know that it will not be easy to cut the material and re-sew. Anyone here ever tried it? And if so how did you cut the material?

Started making up a ladder for some RMR 115 bullets and made a dummy with no powder or primer. I got this result by spinning the round in the barrel. Plunked great but made this scraping line just above the case. BTW I used a CZ 75 B barrel, always VERY tight.

I think that most of us are either swimming in 9mm cases or have plenty. I never push the pressure and I am on the 4th loading of a few thousand WIN, FC, or GFL cases. At some point I should just toss them and start using a new batch. How many times would you use them before discarding them...

Looking a decent body armor. Any of you had experience with Bullet Safe. Looks like they are made in Texas.

I posted this question on another thread and did not get an answer since it was not real relevant to the thread topic. I currently trim the military pocket crimps on 223 with the cutaway method. I have a Wilson "lathe" and a carbide cutter that removes the military crimp one by one. Put it on...

Tried a new powder, HS 6 Got a lot of sparks from the front of the barrel, probably unburnt powder. Also a short discharge of case. Caused by too light a load 6.2 grains? What do you think?
