I personally use full length sizing dies and adjust them to just bump the should back a few thousandths. I have never owned a set of small base dies. If you set your dies up using brass fired in your rifle then you should be fine even when sizing range brass or what ever. I have also never owned...
I put it in an RCBS media seperator and sling most of the water out of it then put it on cookie sheets in the oven on 225 for about 30-40 minutes and it comes out nice and dry. Of course I don't have any females around bitching at me about it so I do what I want. :D
I quit buying lemi shine years ago. I use citric acid from the canning area of you grocery store or wal mart. It is about 1/4th the price and lasts a lot longer. Guess what the active ingredient in Lemi shine is. Citric acid...
I watched a video review and they had at least 8 or 10 shooters lined up on the shooting bench, each with their own Garmin and no problems with picking up each others shot. I was looking at getting the labradar because I let someone talk me out of mine but I think I will go with the garmin if I...
It depends a lot on what bullet weight you are loading. I have had good luck with A2200 in some bullets, H322 works well for others. CFE Black works well for 90gr Gold Dots.
A2200 for 120gr SST and 110gr, H322 for 100gr Accubond, also works well for 90gr.
It is illegal if you are engaged in the business of selling or distributing ammo for a profit without a license. I don't see anything in that saying you could not help a friend find a load for his gun and him compensate you for or provide his own materials.
You cannot blame it on the retailers. There has never really been much money to be made on powders at the retail level. The price I have to pay right now to buy powder wholesale is about what I used to be able to get it for at retail. As you stated, by the time I pay hazmat and shipping then the...
I do cast but not really sure about using cast lead in a semi auto Ruger 44 carbine. I have heard it could foul the gas port but not sure, if using gas checks I would think it would be ok. What do you think?
Glad I stocked up when I did. I should have enough to last my lifetime if I don't open a shooting range or anything. Projectiles are another story. 240/260 grain SJSP are about non existent for 44 mag.
Definitely matters. Different brands have slightly different capacities so putting the same charge weight in a case that has higher or lower capacity than the one right next to it will give you different velocity. For hunting or plinking ammo I don't worry about it much but for target shooting...
