    Sizing pistol brass...Do you?

    Me too!!:D I resize all my brass, new or old. No particular reason, except that its the first station in my progressive, and would be a bit of a pain in the butt to get used to loading my ammo any other way than I am used to. Damon

    T and T reloading + question on cast lead...

    All the products that I have used from them have been excellent. They don't cast their own, I think they order them in bulk from a larger caster. I know this because I asked them what kind of lube they used and the guy said he didn't know, but he could call their supplier and ask if I wanted him...

    corncob

    I just tried this, and it works wonderfully. I went to PetSmart and picked up a 10lb bag of walnut hull (its used for the linings of bird cages) for about 8 bucks, they also had 5lb bags for 5 bucks and 25lb bags for 15 bucks. Then I went to Target and got some NuFinish car polish, 20oz...

    Almost a reloader...and 9mm accuracy ???

    My Ruger KP95 is very accurate and reliable. My favorite load is: 124gr Rainier Flat Points over 3.7gr of bullseye in S&B brass with F100 primers OAL-1.075 with a semi heavy crimp(maybe I will try a lighter crimp too, although I am getting excellent accuracy now). Be forewarned though... It...

    Dillon Square Deal vs. RL 550B

    I started out with a SDB about 2 months ago (9mm, 38, and 357). I love it! After only a few weeks of learning, I was able to safely produce 400-600 rounds per hour. I loved the SDB so much, that last saturday when my wife and I each bought 45colt vaquero's, I ordered a new SDB in 45colt so...

    .357 Crimp Question

    I have used 7.5gr of bullseye under a 125gr bullet. While it works ok(no complaints for punching paper), I would think, as others do, there are better powders for your intended purpose. Another thing to consider, if it makes any difference (I don't hunt or anything), bullseye produces a lot...

    Best brass to keep & reload?

    The only brass that I have reloaded that I don't like is the winchester 9mm brass. I always feel like the primers are about to fall back out because they go in with little to no resistance and I frequently have to check my rounds to make sure that they actually have a primer in them. And that...

    Cheapest ammo for the .38?

    When I order ammo(when I need new brass to reload), I like to order from Outdoor Marksman. The Miwall Corp reloads are excellent and inexpensive, also quite consistent. You also get a nice plastic ammo can when you order cases of the Miwall ammo. The Miwall New ammo is also nice. Hope...

    lead in 357 mag.

    I used the remington 158gr swc's over 6.6gr of Bullseye with federal magnum primers on monday at my local indoor range. Just to try a few lead bullets in my 357 (usually I load 125gr rainier FMJFP's over 7.5gr of Bullseye with the federal magnum primers). It reminded me of the scenes from old...
