Also, The ABC's of Reloading is an excellent book with good basic information. In addition, any of the reloading manuals such as the Lyman, Speer, or Hornady manuals are excellent as well. There are others - these are just a few examples - there are many others. redintex

+3 on the charge. Just bump up gradually toward 6g and you will find your "sweet spot."

231 always gets my vote!

Wilburt, Beautiful setup! That definitely feeds my OCD side. I am glad to see that I am not the only one! redintex

As always should be stated with any load recipes given online, check with your manuals/official powder website. Having checked three of them on my end, here is what worked for me with a Keltec P3AT (very similar to your LCP, so it should be close - at least to get you in the ballpark to load a...

W231 does the trick for me for: .380, .38/.357, 9mm, 40, 45acp, 45 Colt, 44 Rem Mag. redintex

Good Lord, you can't drink and hunt on Sunday, er - hunt, then drink on Sunday I mean? I have to give another +1 to the "God Bless Texas"!!!

Not my thread, but good to know - thanks for posting the info!

Thanks for the update. I guess that's better than 1,000 or more of us calling all the time!

I think that as some others have stated, the big issue is if they seated as SP primers normally would. If so, try one of each as suggested. If you are going to reload that brass, just be sure to note how the SP primers fit after that. I'm sure there are more experienced folks than I about...

This is a 4 year old thread; however, a friend of mine just placed an order with them for a bunch of primers. The website showed them to be in stock, but they emailed him the next day and said that the order was cancelled as the primers were not in stock. I don't know anything other than that...

Gary B is right on target. When the 500 S&W was first produced, it used Large Pistol primers. Starline and the other manufacturers obviously used LP primers, but then they redesigned the pockets to start using Large Rifle primers. There is still quite a bit of LP 500 brass, but you don't want...

Common sense?!? Apparently quite a few!!!:what: It is a rare occasion when common sense prevails...

A lot of folks, especially the customized, competition revolvers, use pretty much exclusively Federal, as they tend to play well with those. I have found that CCI are some of the hardest. I normally use Winchester, but I am not in the customized, competition revolver crowd, either. My .02...

I did encounter differences in loading the .500. I use 38.0 (if I recall correctly) H110 and the Sierra 350g or Hornady 350g JHPs. I did end up using a light spray/misting of Hornady One Shot or my cases to get them to go comfortably in the dies. This is using new Starline brass. Also, I...

I definitely agree with 1911user. Without the case feeder, it really is not that big of a deal.

+1 to both rcmodel and 1911Tuner - they are dead on!!! redintex

Just received Large Pistol primers today from Midway. Natchez had small pistol primers as late as yesterday. I have not checked them today. FYI, redintex

If you feel that you have to have auto-indexing and case feeding, go with the 650. I have a 550b and can easily keep up with the volume that I need, shooting everything from .380 to .500 in handgun, and .223, 30-06, 45-70 and a few others in rifle. A good friend has a 550 with the case feeder...

5.1g of W231 with 230 LRN has worked perfectly for thousands of practice rounds from all/any of my 1911's. I can't speak for the Sigs, but will only speak of my own experience. I have seen where Berry's staff say to load them the same as lead, and that they should stay under 1200 fps. Someone...
