    What happened to my brass?!?!

    I use frankford arsenal pump spray case lube and have never seen this with it but a thousand years ago when I was using the old fashion roll on lube pad this would happen if I let the media in the tumbler get too dusty.

    What happened to my brass?!?!

    What kind of tumbling media was it? walnut shells that have been used for a while so they're powdery?

  3. Barnes Tac-TX 110gr bullets are on clearance at midway!

    For the 300blk hog hunters here .... These bullets are like magic for anything made out of meat .... over 2k fps average out of a 9" barrel, all copper, full weight retention, still over double sized expansion and about 20" of penetration at over 300 yards ...

  4. 357 magnum cases won't fit

    Maybe the spec allows for a little wiggle room in the rim size that the thousand year old lee die set doesn't? I've run into weirdness like that with lee sets before that's why I stopped being them.

  5. 9mm / .45acp Powder Recommendations

    For 9mm I use hodgedon titegroup and for 45acp I use reloader power pistol. I tend to use powders that at their maximum or close to maximum charge for a given round they pretty much fill up the case and are occasionally ever so slightly compressed (I've been doing this for nearly 20 years...

  6. Got a chrono and my world is shattered

    I still have my lyman, etc manuals from 10-15 years ago and more ... and the loads are much more conservative than current loads in the hornady manuals ... AND quite alot of the jacketed projectile weights that we're using today didn't exist then.

  7. Selling Buying Shooting Someone Else's Handloads

    The only gun that I do that with is my ruger redhawks and super redhawks .... I can't fit enough powder in the case to blow them up. I never understrood why someone would buy a revolver that wasn't a ruger :D (I jest, if you use the wrong powder you COULD blow yourself up but if you're using a...

  8. Selling Buying Shooting Someone Else's Handloads

    I agree with alot of this ... but take it a little further. I think that alot of ga arms stuff is **** too. I bought 2 ammo cans from them filled with 45acp and had to take it back because every 4th round wouldn't even chamber. Their equipment dented out the cases so they wouldn't slide into the...

  9. stuck brass

    Unscrew the top center off the die (the part with the decapping rod ) and then it will leave an open hole going down into the neck of the brass. Tap it out with a rod or dowel. Also clean the die thoroughly and get all of the lubricant out and switch to one of the spray/dry lubicants like the...

  10. Can someone please trade me some dummy rounds?

    Fine how many do you want? You just want a case with a bullet in it right? How about some that are seated too far out so that they misfeed on purpose?

  12. 223 brass shortage?

  13. Need a 45 ACP +p load

    http://www.handloads.com/loaddata/default.asp?Caliber=45%20ACP%20+P&Weight=All&t.. I don't see a unique but there are plenty of other options there. Just load a few going up a 1/4 to 1/2 grain steps at a time (or even more granular than that) and put them in zip lock baggies labelled and...

  14. Favorite Press?

    I I'm a big fan of singe stage presses ... even for doing quantity I just use multiple people with multiple presses and assembly line it. Istill love the old lee classic presses but my current favorites are either the RCBS rockchucker or hornady locknload ... they are much heavier duty and have...

  15. Pistol Primer Pockets.....

    So I resize/decap the brass and then clean in stainless steel media ... it does a good job of cleaning out the primer pockets and leaving no trace of anything.

  16. Anyone carry your own personal defense loads?

    I trust my own loads with my life as I've never had a malfunction with one of them but as you said before "all legal ramifications aside" The problem is those legal ramifications. When I was teaching CCW courses in NE and NV it always came down to this .... we had police and lawyers both...

  17. What is you favorite load manual?

    I tend to use the manuals for whatever vendor components that I'm using. Most of the time that means Hornady or Hodgedon. I don't know if it's because I lived in Grand Island, Nebraska for 15 years and did alot of work at the hornady plant or just that I got comfortable using them in all my...

  18. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's not even trying to download a video it's downloading a windows executable file.

  19. hand cannon? or hand grenade!!!!

    The wisdom from the guys at hornady is that a slightly compressed load when you're dealing with pistol powders is not really as much of an issue as with grained rifle powders. This is because when you compress them the grains tend to break up when they are compressed into finer pieces and this...

  20. Behold pandoras box

    I reload both .... I don't shoot any ammo that I don't reload. I still have a marlin 30-30 but I have to be honest I don't use it at all anymore. It was my first deer rifle that my dad got me when I was 11 to practice with for when I could start hunting later that year. For <100 yard...
