  1. Finally used some Wolf primers, and………

    They sure seem soft to me. Took em in trade, I don’t think I’ll use em. Not sure what other caliber to use them in which would qualify as not high pressure. I guess maybe for bolt guns, modest loads?

  3. Finally used some Wolf primers, and………

    Mixed review. I was priming a bunch of 223 with my trusty old Lee hand primer that I’ve been using for 40 years. The cups seem to be copper with somewhat thick walls. Walls are also a bit soft so especially at first one portion of the cup rim would catch and the primer wouldn’t seat evenly...

  4. How to KILL Disable a Primer

    Why not just take a spent primer, place it in a hard flat surface like the anvil plate on a bench vise, and use a small punch on the inside to flatten the cup back out? Then you can polish and seat it back in your case

  5. Looking to buy reloading kit -

    I run a Dillon 750, a Lyman Tmag and an RCBS rockchucker. I thought I’d use the Dillon more than I do. I rarely load fully loaded rounds on it. I find I use it for brass prep for the most part. Actual loaded rounds, usually the turret unless it’s small count, rifle calibers for distance...

    What caused this?

    I’ll load one up for ya if you’ll test it in your 223. Why go as slow as red dot though, I prolly have enough bullseye to fill the case.

    What caused this?

    The top half of those has been squeezed back down to close to normal diameter. The lower half is still grossly expanded.

    What caused this?

    Processing a bucket of 223 I picked up in trades recently I ran across a few shells that wouldn't start to enter the sizing die. I thought maybe they were berdan primed and it was the decapping pin hitting that was stalling things but looking at it I realized they weren't making it that far -...

    SDI 223 BRASS IS GARBAGE

    Manufactured in India. SDI was the importer. It seems they had problems with primer pockets

  12. 45-70 350gr Berrys powders?

    Some guys have had good luck and good things to say about lightweight, collar button style slugs. https://www.mp-molds.com/product/mp-45-collar-button-4-cav-aluminum/ If you cast, seems like a good option. They'd save wear and tear on your shoulder and with such light loads, extend the life...

  13. Anyone used Fiocchi primers?

    Burned through a case of 15,000 SRP used in 223, no issues

  14. A question for you veteran Reloaders

    I use disposable paint roller tray liners. Makes it easy to hit all the brass with a couple sprays if lanolin and when it gets too dirty from dirty brass, trash it and grab another

  15. A question for you veteran Reloaders

    Lanolin + Alcohol. Alcohol flashes off more rapidly and leaves less mineral deposits (unless you use distilled or deionized) than water. Additionally, Lanolin is a complex mix of molecules, fats, waxes, definitely has solubility problems in just plain water so alcohol, the purer the better, is...

  16. Question on Powder Measures

    Multiple projects for the same thing out there. I printed out three of them personally. The one that seemed most mature and most likely to be a viable solution was this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4131117

  17. Question on Powder Measures

    Interesting little tidbit, there are actually a couple of decent "open source projects" in the 3D print community for a digital powder dispenser that combines a load cell (for fine accuracy of weight), arduino board for control, stepper motor to drive an dropper/hopper combo that you 3D print...

  18. Question on Powder Measures

    I've found the cheap little Lee Perfect Powder Measure actually does great with extruded stick powders. Usually I use a Lyman for everything else. Have a couple Lyman's but tend to use an ancient one manufactured in the 50's most of the time. That's for bulk stuff. if I am specifically...

  19. Discolored Brass

    Agreed, roughly twice a year I’ll put in dawn and run just the pins, no brass, to clean them off
