    Where are reloading components available (Not a Discussion Thread)

    Noticed that Grafs has free hazmat for purchases over $150 until Nov 21 at 11:59pm CT. Where is everyone? I'm usually the last to know.

    RCBS hand priming tool

    It is not just you. My somewhat older RCBS flips primers on occasion. These days, I prime on press. OTOH, I found a Winchester primer anvil side up in the tray the other day. :what:

    Aguila strikes again

    Based on the lack of uniformity of the case on the right, that looks like a case failure rather than a two piece case. You are lucky you didn't have a head separation. You were hearing more than anvils hitting the target.

    45acp 200gr lswc and failure to feed

    Going back to Steve's post #18 , https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/45acp-200gr-lswc-and-failure-to-feed.852998/#post-11164627 I measured my dummy round for Summer's 200 LSWC. The distance from case base to top of shoulder is .936. Small increments, changing only one thing at a...

    45acp 200gr lswc and failure to feed

    Three point jam. Not your crimp. Do you hear a ka-chuck when rounds feed? It could be mag related. What magazine lip profile are you using?

    Vihtavuori N310 or N320 for .45ACP?

    I need to gain a few pounds of experience with N310. OTOH, N320 is much much cleaner than WW231/HP-38 ever was in my pistols.

    Vihtavuori N310 or N320 for .45ACP?

    I have shot of lot of N320 through my 1911 using 180, 200, and 230 grain Lead SWCs and FMJs over the years. Good stuff. I stay near the low end of the published data and get good accuracy. This cleanliness thing you ask for is relative to how much clean you expect.

    Where are reloading components available (Not a Discussion Thread)

    Yah. I'm showing my age. Just checked and it isn't working unless you add 49 bucks worth of "Free Shipping" items.

    Where are reloading components available (Not a Discussion Thread)

    I just add one of Midway's Free Shipping items to my order. I have a full drawer of assorted weird tools.

    To load or not to load...9mm

    Thimk again. Hokie_PhD has it right! I can load 9mm that is much better than the cheap stuff. OTOH, you have it right too! I am still shooting 22 LR that I bought in the Clinton era. The secret to panic buying is to buy ahead. Stock as much of the cheap stuff as you can and buy components...

    Case Lubes

    +1 on Nitrile gloves. Spread some Imperial on the gloves. Roll several cases back and forth in your hands. Doing the same with a plastic storage bag will also work.

    Lyman M die and other options

    I am using the Mr BulletFeeder/DAA powder die on my 550C for 45ACP. It does the job! No shaved lead and a very mild expansion bell. I like the MBF/DAA/PTX as much as my Lymnan M dies.

    Sick and tired of primers on the floor.

    You had cool parents. Did they help you keep score?

    Need to find an RCBS "Expert"

    A-1 Model? There might be a date stamp on the top.

    1911 45acp loads

    I have been running a 12 lbs spring with 200 gr SWC light loads. YMMV as I also use a Harrison small radius firing pin stop and my barrel has tight lock up. Currently, I am developing some N320 loads for some 180 SWC FB from Summers Enterprises and moved to a 10 lbs spring. This morning, one...

    Sick and tired of primers on the floor.

    Don't bother. The ram on the later model Rock Chuckers also toss primers everywhere.

    1911 45acp loads

    Try some 230 FMJ ball. We all have our favorite loads but BE has been good to me. If you are having ejection issues then check the extractor tension.

    RMR code.

    Is there a new code? If so, I could use one too.

    Dillon RL550 first try at it.

    I have a LED lamp bulb in a clamp on work light positioned low enough to light the case in station 3 and, hopefuly, high enough away to avoid any light bulb induced catastrophe. I have a matching light positioned to the right side of the press so I can verify that the newly sized and primed...

    Aftermarket Dillon 550 Toolheads

    I just had a great experience with JoFer. Their web site did not transfer my state from my billing address to my shipping address. I attempted to call the owner. He was away from his phone but called me back to let me know that they were already aware of the issue.
