    Loading 9mm

    I've loaded for many calibers but 9mm was always so cheap and plentiful, I never thought it was worth the investment. Well, current conditions are indicating that maybe I should be getting in touch with Dillon to get the SDB set up for 9mm. I have quite a few pistol powders in the cabinet...

    Load Data from Lee

    Yes, they 'reprint with permission' but their info is often many years old. Some of the Lee reloading products are pretty good but they are neither a bullet nor powder manufacturer. I prefer to get my load data from someone on that side of the business.

    380ACP on a Dillon SDB

    I'd like to shoot my little LCP more. I have a lot of components for 380 but I dread the idea of running those tiny little boogers on my Dillon 550. Does anybody run 38 on their SDB? I'm a little hesitant to drop the bucks for the entire kit unless it's going to be cost effective and churn out a...

    QuickLoad Windows 10 upgrade

    Neconos has an update coming that is supposed to address issues with QuickLoad when used in Windows 10. I just updated my Laptop to Windows 10 and reloaded QuickLoad and it seems like it is working fine. Have any of you had any issues with version 3.8 on Windows 10? $55 isn't too much for an...

    Flat base v. Boat-tail 55gr .223

    It's been a while since I loaded these flat base DogTowns and I'm hoping that I don't have to do an entire load workup when switching from the Hornady boat-tails. Shooting them in front of a load of CFE223 in a 1:7 twist 16" AR topped with an EOTech so not shooting tiny groups at 600yds. but I...

    Part ID help needed please

    Hello folks. I'm looking for a little help here. I've moved and just unpacked a box of parts from my reloading room. There's a part that I don't recognize and can't remember where it goes. Any help would be appreciated. The first pic is against a ruler for scale. The second pic shows the...

    Selling a suppressor

    Say I want to sell a suppressor that's in my name. What's involved? If somebody wants to buy it, I know they need to submit a Form 4 to transfer but am I responsible for the can until they get the form back? Would you get the money first and hold the can for them until their from clears...

    Cfe 223

    Now that it's been out for a while, what's the general opinion of this powder? I'm planning on using it for 223.

    Moving with NFAs

    Label your NFA with city and state, I get. Same for suppressors? Another thing that I'm not clear on is what happens if you move. NFAs (suppressors) are in a trust. If you move to another city in the same state, what are you required to do? As long as they are legal in the new state, what...

    Which suppressor for an HK45CT?

    Looking for experiences with an HK45CT. The cost and lead time of a good suppressor makes experimenting out of the question. Thanks

    IMR 4756 and IMR 4759 - What are they good for?

    I found unopened pounds of both of these powders in my cabinet. I can't, for the life of me, remember what I bought them for. I'm sure that it was something that I read on here or castboolits that prompted the purchase. Can anybody shed some light on their uses of either or both of these...

    Lee Hand Press kit

    I bought this Lee Hand Press kit over a year ago with a Cabela's gift card that my daughter gave me. Thought it might come in handy at some time. I set it on the shelf and promptly forgot about it. I found it a couple of days ago. It was 108° in the garage and I wanted to load up some 45...

    Berry's 230gr .45

    Been reading about these plated bullets for years and never thought about using it. I cast my 230gr by the thousands every year and thought they did just fine. I was at Dillon the other day and picked up a box (105° in my garage, too hot to cast!). I was really surprised how ell these shot. WLP...

    Brass quality

    We always talk about how good stuff was back in the old days but oftentimes, our memories are clouded. Yesterday I went through 200 pieces of LC 5.56 from 1975. Once fired, still had the crimps. Could still make out the annealing coloring. Knocked out the primers and swaged the pockets. Ran the...

    Alternative case cleaning method

    Has anybody tried a load of brass in a solution (don't care which solution) in a regular vibratory 'tumbler' to see how it does? Does it shake around enough to move the brass?

    Lee Perfect Powder measure - no more leaks!

    Had this one several years and it works fantastic for 4831 and 4064 but always leaked the fine powders a little. More than I was comfortable with. Read some of the posts about lapping the cone making some improvement. I had some 600grit left over from a Wheeler barrel lapping kit and had a...

    Lead in an H&K USP

    Anybody shooting lead in an H&K USP? Shot lots of jacketed with good results. Shoot lead in most every other pistol but never tried it in the USP. I have a 200gr SWC and 230gr RN mold on the way and was wondering how these polygonal barrels perform with lead. Straight wheelweights or is a 50%...

    Chargemaster and Li'l Gun warning

    Don't leave Li'l Gun in your Chargemaster hopper. I almost always dump my powder back into the container when I finish a batch. I was working up some loads the other day and planned to reload the next night so i left it in there. Well, life intervened and it was three days before I got back...
