I still have the same passion I did when I started handloading, at least about the handloading stuff. When equipment breaks or fails, I get bitter real quick. Right now I'm idle due to a primer chain reaction on my press.

Rights are not a compromise.

Save your money and properly size your cases. No bulge.

TAC is excellent in .223 for 55-77gr bullets. I use a lot of it myself, also in .308. Same or faster velocity than Varget but lower cost and meters a lot better, being a ball powder versus short grain extruded.

Ordered 150,000 primers CCI factory direct in June 2009. Still haven't gotten them. Was told 12 weeks.

Here's the thing: 10mm, like .380, is a low demand product in normal times so the brass manufacturers have a set schedule of production based on the normal demand. When there's a spike in demand, they need to keep producing the items that sell more volume than the others. You think the demand...

Couple differences between the turret presses on the market. The two more popular ones are the Redding T7 and the Lee Classic Turret. The Redding is great if you shoot target loads and need all sorts of dies on one press for different operations. Body die, neck die, bushing dies for forming...

Gee, didn't know that was a requirement. Lots of your average competition shooters load more than I do, like I stated earlier.

Fireside, like I stated earlier, before I became a commercial manufacturer I still kicked Lee to the curb and went Dillon. Any of Lee's progressive presses cannot beat the Dillon 550 except in price. Whoopdie do. Cry once, buy once, buy for life. Also if you'll notice my posts in the reloading...

My equipment compared to other commercial manufacturers is nothing. In that comparison, my Dillons are the "Lee" of the commercial manufacturers. If you're poor like me you start with Dillon and work towards Camdex. If you've got the financing, you go Camdex from the start but taking out a loan...

Tell you what, jmortimer. Show me a Lee press that will run 1,000 rounds per hour, swage primer pockets, withstand 50,000 rounds a week loading. Oh, they don't offer anything remotely comparable. Thought so. If Lee is so awesome, why don't they offer a progressive press similar to the Dillon...

Angus, the press was not at fault. It was operator and brass related. I stopped using the FC brass I was running and now the MKE brass runs perfect. Federal made a bad run of brass from 2003-2008 and that's what I was using. I changed brass and problem went away.

And if that press flexes the same spot every time each time, that's accuracy.

Me too. She's my inspector as well.

When I started handloading, I had a Lee hand press I bought from a gun show for $20 cash. Loaded thousands of 10mm on that. Then the handle broke. Got a Lee Classic Turret as a present from my mother and started loading on that as well as added .45 ACP and 45/70 to my list. As a casual...

Difference between you and me is I load ammo for a living. Lee simply doesn't cut it any way you slice it. A company that uses a ceiling fan chain to operate the powder measure is not a company I take seriously. That's not innovation, that's being a cheap ass. Quality is a tolerance stack. If...

Lee is cheap because of bare minimum engineering and low cost materials. Aluminum, plastic, and poor quality steel. I used to work for a steel mill that produced the steel used in Lee dies and equipment. Lee also caters to the beginner and low volume market. You won't find many small...

The form I saw was a form 4. The guy lives two miles away from me. I did the transfer. Thanks.

Pretty sure the TCU is based off the Benchrest Case. This 6x45 is based off the the .223 Remington.

BTW, a light JHP in teh .40 is OK if you want extremely limited penetration, like sub 12 inches. I used to load the .40 135gr Nosler JHP in my ammunition catalog to 1430fps and sold a lot of it. Like I said, if you like limited penetration it's the way to go.
