reloading

I have seen ammunition for sale that is vacuum sealed in seal a meal pouches, some with an oxygen absorber in the package. Is there any information or experience regarding the storage life with this practice. The same applies to primer storage. I have seen individual primer flats vacuum...

So I normally load pistol ammo and have used the walnut lizard bedding found at petsmart. It's time to buy more media and found a better deal at harbor freight. 25 pound bag for $20 (if u use the coupon ). Question HF offers coarse and fine walnut media so which type is better? Coarse...

Hello fellow reloaders, I've been reloading for about a year now and experienced some stovepipes with my 9mm reloads. I used 4.6g of W-231, 115 gr Berrys plated, OAL 1.161" WSP Primers and mostly Win or Fed brass. Shot this load from my Beretta PX4 Storm. Oddly, I would get at least 1...

I've been looking all over for this information, but cant find it. Here is the question; at what size is .45 acp brass too short to reload safely ? I know nobody trims pistol brass. It only gets shorter as it gets fired. Manuals state .888 is minimum "trim to length" and .898 is max. Does...

Hey guys, I have a quick question for you all. I'm currently working for a new company that's developing handloading software and my question is, what do you all look for in handloading software? Or, what do you wish was in your handloading software that isn't currently offered? The more...

I am new to reloading and just purchased the lee classic loader. I am reloading 30-06 for a 1903 springfield. Today I started practicing putting in the primers which was my biggest concern with this kit, I DID NOT load any powder or bullets into the case. I had already tested the empty case and...

I own one of the forever lasting Dillon RL1050 and was advised by one of their service people that I could cut the index part number 20312 in order to allow the opening of the press for reloading the larger rifle bullets. Up till now biggest I made was my 223 cal but I now have the need to...

Got a hold of some 9mm lead bullets that are .355 diameter, 125gr. I will be shooting them out of a Sig. I have loaded up a few with 3.9gr of Win 321 and only see a trace of leading. Not a real hot load. Is it worth bumping the load up a little just to see if I get a better seal or is...

I have a Speer manual and it doesn't really have the info I'm looking for. I'm trying to load a 255 gr LSWC Keith style with Universal. The Speer manual I have has a 255 gr LSWC, but the overall cartridge length is 1.65 or something and when I seat the bullets I have to the crimp groove I'm...

I've seen a couple of different starter kits from LEE for reloading, I'd like to get back into it and own nothing right now. I will initially load only for .38 Special, target loads, since I don't seem to be able to buy them. Years ago, I had a Rockchucker and was proficient at .44 Mag and...
