  1. Disappointed in reloading handbook

    I shouls really read a whole thread before posting lol. CoL is different for different guns sone times. My xd needed a max col of 1.6 for the rounds to even funtion properly in the mag without sticking, my 1911 and sigs cam stretch the whole 1.7 and be fine in the mag. The 1911 likes the 1.7...

  2. Disappointed in reloading handbook

    I actually keep a cheap $50 walmart tablet at my bench and have a wifi range extender so I have internet in the garage. Have print outs of what I use the most as well as a notebook with records of loads I get the best accuracy with

    Brass Shining Made Easy!

    I use a harbor frieght double barrel rock tumbler http://www.harborfreight.com/dual-drum-rotary-rock-tumbler-67632.html and some bar keepers friend instead of dish soap and then lemon juice.. comes out shinny every time...

  4. Ok ODT Clan - help me reload

    I forget about the lube because I don't load rifle rounds but pistol rounds.. But yes you will want case lube and you will also need this https://www.amazon.com/Lee-Precision-Double-Disk-Kit/dp/B000NOUEKY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1487458483&sr=8-4&keywords=lee+auto+disk Otherwise you might not...

  5. Ok ODT Clan - help me reload

    Having the turret the shell holder really isn't necessary. Your unloaded shell will be a complete bullet before it comes off the press, you won't be filling 50 pieces of brass with powder then loading the bullets in a separate action later on like you would with a single stage. Thats what those...

    Shout out to X-Treme Bullets

    thebulletworks.net Has the same projectiles with free shipping in quantities of 1K and discounts on orders of 3k or more. I use them both. I will jump back and forth when one is out of stock or something and order from Xtreme when they have free shipping deals because they end up a little...

  8. Shot my first reloads...

    Yep chrono is my next "big" purchase

  9. Shot my first reloads...

    I load 9mm and .45 acp. I load a LOT of 9mm.. to the tune of a couple thousand rounds a month. I use only fast burning powder (right now CFE pistol because its readily available but I prefer Ramshot Silhouette when I can find it) and Accuracy is the name of the game for me. I find typically max...

  10. First real problem in my year and a half of reloading 9mm

    I think primer seating was definitely the issue, I knocked the primer out of the shell and the lip on it had folded, maybe it obstructed the flash hole some. Ran 100 through the press today and fired them all without 1 hiccup, the extra sizing die is back on the press and it didn't even try to...

  11. First real problem in my year and a half of reloading 9mm

    No, crimp has not been adjusted. Only thing changed on the press was removal of the extra sizer die. The manual does say that the extra sizer die is not needed but does help ensure the brass is in the correct position for the primer to be inserted. the little arms that hold the shells in place...

  12. First real problem in my year and a half of reloading 9mm

    Oh, and we had a total of 6 bad ones between us in about 700 rounds. Still have 200 rounds from that batch left

  13. First real problem in my year and a half of reloading 9mm

    So last year I got a progressive press as a gift from my neighbor since I load the ammunition we both use for competition and he found out how long it took me to do it with my single stage. Its a Lee Loadmaster. Before I even started I read through the manual learned to set it up properly, took...

  14. LEE 4 Turret Press

    I uesd a single stage for a long time before I got my progressive and did 600 rounds in an evening for a match the next day. It can be done. Progressive does the same amount in an hour or two that I could get done all day with the single, but my single still has its uses for precision loads...

  15. 230gn .45ACP w/ CFE Pistol Recipe?

    I have a lot of different guns (though this is my first .45 since I started loading, everything since I started loading has been 9mm for ease of loading.. but I missed .45) And all of them seem to like the loads the same.. well to some extent. the 1911's can have a COL on the 9mm of 1.170 and...

  16. 230gn .45ACP w/ CFE Pistol Recipe?

    More or less what I was going to do, just hoping maybe someone else had already done the homework for me :lol: Most awesome reply to one of my threads ever :lol: I love pancakes :)

  17. 230gn .45ACP w/ CFE Pistol Recipe?

    Ive got the Hodgen load data, just wondering if anyone has worked up a good recipe yet.. Its been crappy outside and testing for accuracy is a pain when the field is a marsh. Plus its the last day of hunting season and I know a few of my neighbors are in the woods and I don't want to bother...

  20. pistol powder

    Powder is one of the cheapest components you're using.. why not use good stuff? I use CFE pistol. $25/lb at GA firing line and I shoot sub 5" groups at 30 yards with my 5" 9mm 1911 using cheap bullet works 124gn plated rn ($78/1000 shipped...
