    In 1994, I learned the hard way not to penny pinch during in an election year.

    Anyone used the RMR 135gr 9mm Matchwinners?

    ^^^ Yes, Hodgdon is referring to the Match Winners. Out of those 4 powder options. I’d pick Silhouette.

    Ruger mk2 vs mk4?

    As soon as William Ruger died, his son bastardized the Mark II to pacify the Libs with the Mark III, He meddled with the gun adding a magazine disco, a safety key and a loaded chamber indicator. Incidentally, the LCI was so poorly designed that if it was bumped the firearm could discharge. A...

    Reloading 7.62x39 for an AK

    ^ there’s plenty of steel case ammo available https://ammoseek.com/ammo/7.62x39mm But brass cased is about the same price…so why buy steel?

    How Cheap Can It Be?

    Are you going to load without purchasing calipers, a powder measure, dippers or a manual?

    Reloading using budget friendly equipment versus higher end equipment.

    “Man, I wish I had bought a Lee instead of this overpriced Dillon”…said no one ever.

    Reloading using budget friendly equipment versus higher end equipment.

    I have a general rule of thumb when it comes to reloading tools… Redding, Dillon = Snap-on RCBS, Hornady = Craftsman Lee, Lyman = Harbor Freight

    Issues with Lee 10mm Taper Crimp Die

    Polishing takes all of 5 minutes. Why bother with mailing and waiting days?

    RMR Bullets Packaging

    I’ve ordered eighteen times from RMR totaling 33,000 bullets. Every order arrived without spillage, damage or drama. Maybe I’m just lucky.

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro Dopler Radar chronograph update.

    And a built-in microSD card slot would have been nice. That way you’re not reliant on the app. Even Garmin’s $100 GPS for cars supports memory cards. Some of their devices have 2 slots.

    Where can I look for primers?

    Go to Cabelas..the primers are found next to the $60 dog food bowls and pink camouflage.

    Winchester LP primers

    Red boxes started to appear 3 1/2 years ago. The blue came out in 2009 which was preceded by white boxes. Every primer manufacturer has changed their packaging at one time or another. Fiocchi just changed theirs as an example.

    Starting 9mm, have some questions

    5.0 gr AutoComp with a 124gr RMR Match Winner @ 1.10”. Velocity ~ 1100 fps. Very accurate, soft shooting, minimal blast and it meters well. Your Berry’s 124gr will work but better groups are gained with a MW, HAP or XTP.

    9mm target load

    This is a load I gleaned from the BE forum. Supposedly it can do sub 2” groups at 50 yards. It’s a 147g XTP with 4g of WSF at 1.142”. I ordered 600 XTPs this week so we will see once I set up the RR. The de facto powder for 9mm accuracy is PP but I don’t care for the blast or recoil impulse.

    Suggestions, please...loading bench refinish

    ^^ Yeah the Formica route is the way to go. It also adds a bit of strength to the substrate. A 4x8 sheet is $65 at HD. Colors and patterns are endless.

    T and Norma marked small flash holes 9mm

    Regarding Norma brass, Lee’s Universal decapping die will punch the primer out while enlarging the flash hole. But as a rule, I just throw Norma brass in the dumpster.
