    Nickel plated .38 brass

    Hi all,a friend and I were discussing .38 nickel brass I told him I preferred yellow brass, but would load nickel, but I don't think it lasts as long. Any comments or tests anyone has performed. These are just target loads no hot stuff. One reason I ask is most of the reloaders I know prefer...

    New employee, how to ask if you can carry on the job?

    Have looked here and other places for this answer. Suppose as a new employee your employer has not told you verbally or shown you in company handbook that it is forbidden to carry on the job. I have always heard if they don't say you can't it means you can. Pretty certain there are no metal...

    .40 S&W bulged/smilie brass

    Hi guys, do any of you reload .40 brass that has smilie or bulged brass by first running it thru a Lee, EGW or similar die? I just think that if this brass has been stretched to make the bulge that it isn't safe to reload. Any comments welcome. Thanks Mac
