Hi folks, Been a while Im going to sell my progressive presses keep single stage. I have a Dillon 550B, it's probably 15 years old. Has all the bells and whistles that you can bolt to it. I.e., powder sensor, primer sensor, base strong mount, bullet tray, etc. You name it. What does...

I have several debur tools. Wilson, Lyman and Lee and an RCBS. I never really thought about it, but just used whatever one I could find in the garage first. The 22 degree. Compared with the old standard 45 degree Anybody ever seen a difference? I'm not just talking lyman, its just the...

I know it sounds stupid, right? Maybe I should rephrase it in different words... I probably have 25 powders on hand, maybe even more. With that said, I am looking to make life simpler. I love to load up and shoot light, reduced loads, handgun and rifle. It doesn't always work out like...

Rather a loaded question. Been playing around with 38 special loads in an ancient 686 plus, using 357 mag brass with clays. Folks swear by clays for 38 special something akin to the defacto bullseye load. I haven't been able to locate many 38 special data using clays. Any secrets? At...

I decided to have some fun and l loaded up 40 rounds of 30-30, 150 grain Berrys plated. Looking at the PDF that Hodgdon put out on Trailboss, it claims the formula is: http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/reloading-education/tips-and-tricks/low-recoil-loads Find where the base of the bullet...

I have a Dillon 550B and a Rock chucker supreme single stage. I want to run one of my Dillon Powder Dispenser on the Rock chucker. I have the Dillon return springs for powder thrower (like the RL450), and I also have the bell crank that doesn't have the safety return linkage. So it works fine...

Hi all, Dillon 550B Been sometime since I posted and a long time since I reloaded, I recently (well last year), tore apart my 550B, and re-lubed all the components punching out all the pins, etc, and am putting the finishing touches on it. Runs real nice now. Anyway, I never put the...

Hi guys, I made a boo-boo on threading in the shell plate bolt, stripped out the Ram mount bore threading(main shaft). So I called dillon and got a new shaft, 70 bones and some shipping. Decided to strip the machine down and punch out the pins, and gave her a real good grease job. Wow, It...

Hi folks, I am curious, it seems every after market barrel I look at has M4 feed ramps on the barrel extension, none with just a Rifle Extension. Is this the norm now for simplicity sake? I.e., every after market barrel maker is defaulting to the M4 feed ramps? Anybody make the barrels...

This morning was just reading through yahoo news, and spotted this rifle picture. I can't identify what it is. Anybody care to take a guess? Thank you folks.

OK, so I finally tweaked a dillon 1" wrench, and decided to buy a craftsman 1" combo wrench. So I removed the toolhead with 38 spec plates, and replaced with my 9mm. Low and behold the 1" wrench doesn't fit the lock rings on this toolhead/lock rings 9mm dies. They are larger (I have not...

OK, this is rather lame. My son used to play a game called hitman. Well I played alot too. :) Anyway, the game had firearms called ballers. Maybe they were even called 45 ballers, I can't recall. They certainly looked alot like a colt 45 or springfield 45, or kimber, whatever. Where did...

I have no idea, where my post should go so bear with me, but maybe to the trash can. I just went to the mailbox and got the latest midway catalog #34 it has Potterfield on the front cover. You guys just got your catalog right? I perused for a little bit, closed it, and something struck me...

I have a sw 686+ in 357, 6". Recently I have been loading 357 brass to 38 special pressures. To save the cylinder groove and preserve the fun factor. :eek: But I have atleast 3000 38 spec. brass. I need a way to wear those out in my lifetime. :D Anyway, I want to buy a new 38 special...

This will be quick as I am posting this via my blackberry. I have an old lot of 38 special remington that had straight lead 158 grain round nose projectiles. The brass has a crimp quarter inch down from opening. Almost looks like a canelure in a projectile would. What is the purpose that...

A few months ago, I loaded up some 6 grain universal in 357 brass, with JHP 125 grain. Looking for a lighter 357 magnum load, it hits relatively hard, pretty accurate as well from my 6" SW 686 and fun to shoot out of a rifle. Now I want to make a 38 special SUPER light round but still use my...

I just loaded up 100 rounds of 357 with winchester 125 JHP, of 6 grains of universal clays with standard #500 cci primer. On my books, it should just be a weak 38 spc +p load. Should be a light load in my sw 686. like a 22lr. :) Anyone have a similar recipe? I have yet to shoot them...

I was just eating a bunch of pistachio today and had a lame idea :what:. Why not use Pistachio shells for cleaning media? I mean seriously? If they are clean and no residue of salt, why not? Anyone tried it?

Question for your guys on setup. I have a rl550b, using a standard 38/357 sizing die (dillon), resizing some cases. I have always in the past, threaded in the sizing die half way, raised up the ram all the way, then screwed in the sizing die till it hits the shellplate, then back off die 1/4...

I just bought a new rcbs 10-10 from midway, just came on sale for 139, or maybe it was 131, I cant remember. Anyway, unpack it and the knife edges are not perpendicular to the beam, they are off maybe 15 degrees. Could this be normal? Seems not to me, but I am no expert. Thank you folks.
