I finally broke down and bought a Dillon 550b. I originally purchased the Lee Classic Cast Turret and will not be getting rid of it, I just got very frustrated with the priming system and 4 pulls per round. It appears the ram has some lube from the factory, but I'm not sure how much. The...

Can someone please post some pictures of what light leading looks like? I'm new to reloading the 45 ACP. I have a full size 1911 and it seemed to have quite a bit of leading, but I really don't have anything to compare it to. Can someone post some pictures of light leading and heaving...

I have a friend that inherited a Remington Model 700 in 22-250. From the barrel markings it looks like this rifle is from 1968, there is no external floor plate on the magazine, and with the safety on the bolt doesn't move. I tried to take the best pictures i could of the barrel rifling...

I'm confused on which 45 ACP bullet to get from Missouri Bullet. I'm using 4.8 grains of HP38 in a full size 1911 and I'm not sure if I should buy the Bullseye #1 at Brinell 12 or the IDP #1 at Brinell 18. I'm leaning towards the Bullseye #1, but of course I'm worried about leading. I've...

Alright I need to figure out if I just screwed up, or is there an actual problem. Fired off one of my new reloads for 357 mag. I was using 12.5 grains of Accurate #9, 158 grain LSWC bullte, and a Wolf small pistol primer. The round got stuck just after entering the barrel and it appeared...

I'm making some practice rounds getting my bullet seating and crimp established before actually reloading. I'm using a Lee Classic Cast Turret and the Lee 4 die set and 158 grain lead SWC. What do you guys think of these pictures? I have tried to put the least amount of flair on the case...

I have a Lee Classic Cast Turret with the Lee Deluxe Auto Disk. I'm looking for a good powder that flows EASY with the Auto Disk. I'll be shooting Missouri Bullets' $158 gr lead SWC for a 357 magnum. Can someone please recommend a good powder to use that works well with the Auto Disk...

Is it normal to have some brass shavings on the shell holder. I have a Classic Cast Lee Turret and loaded 100 FMJ rounds of 9mm and there appears to be quite a bit of brass shavings. I don't believe they are shavings from the bullets because I made a lot of practice rounds and never noticed...

Has anyone made or used a handle similar to this one? http://ultimatereloader.com/?p=340 It is similar the the Dillon lever, but it has a kink in it. Thinking about trying to make something for my classic turret press.

My Lee book doesn't have any load data for a 115 grain round nose plated bullet using W231. I have read that I should use lead data when loading for plated, so I went to Hogdon's website. 4.3 grains of W231 with a LRN which I'm assuming means Lead Round Nose (please correct if wrong)...

Any ideas what i could be doing wrong? I'm constantly getting 4.2 to 4.1 grains of W231 when I'm using the 4.0 hole on the auto disk. I have run graphite through the hopper and used a dryer sheet to eliminate the possibility of static electricity interfering. I thought i read that W231...

I FINALLY was able to go to my first IDPA match. It was a lot of fun. I screwed up plenty, like forgetting to shoot at a target entirely. But no safety issues, and that is what I was really going for on my first attempt. I will say, I will be going back next month, I'm hooked. By the...

I just purchased a brand new 5.5" bull barreled Ruger MKIII Target pistol with the Hi-Vis sites. I was advised by the dealer I bought it from to not take the pistol apart, "leave that for the gun smith" and just clean the barrel and whatever i can clean with a brush. What is everyone's take...

I am interested in getting into IDPA and USPSA shooting. I have a Springfield XDm in 9mm. I downloaded the rule book for each and have some questions. IDPA: Limited to 10 rounds per magazine. Can I complete in the following divisions? Stock Service Pistol Enhanced Service...

I'm looking for a little help in choosing my first hand gun. I have kind of narrowed it down to 3 choices: Taurus 24/7 PRO DS, 9mm (DA/SA) S&W M&P, 9mm (DOA) Springfield XDm, 9mm (DOA) My first choice was the Taurus due to the fit in my hand, decocker safety, and price, about $380 with...
