    Components for cartridges you don’t shoot?

    First I'm hearing about problems the Garmin. Where can I read about this?

    S&B .38 Special, tight primer pockets

    Thank you, both. I think that may be the route I go.

    S&B .38 Special, tight primer pockets

    My primer pocket check tool would start after reaming, but it would not fully seat. It was the same with the hand primer, I had to apply gentle pressure and wiggle it around to get it started correctly.

    S&B .38 Special, tight primer pockets

    I've got the one from RCBS, the PRIMER POCKET SWAGER COMBO-2, which looks like a die. I haven't thought to try it for this brass, though. I can go throw it in the single stage and give it a shot, I guess.

    S&B .38 Special, tight primer pockets

    I've got a lot of once fired S&B .38 Special range brass. Originally I tried loading it on my progressive, but I was having too much trouble with crushed primers. Well, I tried again this morning, but hand priming with an RCBS universal priming tool this time. I can easily feel the primer...

    Using Vinegar in Wet Tumbling

    Add some Armor All Wash & Wax to the mix, that will keep them shiny. Also, keep the temp on the oven as low as possible.

    Need for Crimping Step, Pistol Brass, Single - Stage vs. Progressive

    "On handgun cartridges, a sized belled (flared) case mouth diameter should measure approximately .010" larger than an unflared case mouth." Dillon rl550c-manual, Page 30. In my experience, coated or plated bullets need a little more flare than an FMJ. FMJ is just more forgiving. I err on...

    Starline’s hot brass

    I've thought for a while that Starline needs to add "in stock" alerts and "backorder" alerts. I have no problem placing orders for backordered items. I'd probably buy a .327 Magnum if the brass were available. I literally look at guns, then check to see if Starline makes brass for it. That...

    Starline’s hot brass

    I've never had an order or a backorder take nearly that long. The most uncommon cartridge I have ordered was .41 Magnum and it still shipped in 2 weeks or less.

    9mm brass not worth saving....?

    I think I would try a different 9mm Luger resizing die to see if I could get the job done in one pass.

    9mm brass not worth saving....?

    I've reloaded thousands of rounds of mixed 9mm range brass. The only consistent problems I found were off center flash holes in Browning 9mm. Just because you had problems with extraction with one brand of brass doesn't mean you will have any problems with that when you reload it. Several...

    Any idea who has historical Remington serial number info?

    I've got a 40x and it does not have a date code. I've also got a 7mm Rem Mag 700 that I bought in 2003-04 and I've assumed that the barrel was made in that time frame that you mention, because it doesn't have a date code either. That rifle was ordered from Remington (it was not in stock and I...

    Any idea who has historical Remington serial number info?

    I know you used to be able to call Remington and they could look up your serial number. Apparently, RemArms does not have that ability. https://www.remarms.com/support/reach-us Any idea who might have that data now, or is it just lost to the sands of time?

    Powder Pan Project

    But you add heavy metal to the crankshaft to balance it, when appropriate.

    Powder Pan Project

    I had no idea. I can test that. I have two identical RCBS pans. Identical in appearance, but not weight.

    Powder Pan Project

    I may have written it down at the time, but I don't know that I kept my notes. I started filling one tab down on the heaviest pan and it was clear that I would have to cut most (all?) of the tab off to get close to the lightest pan.
