    Thoughts on loads for Bear defense from a snub?

    I have used a fanny pack, turned around so the pack is in front, when hiking the Smokeys so I can carry a 44 magnum concealed.

    RWS Ammunition Question?

    I thought you might find this link about RWS 9mm ammo helpful. It concludes that "RWS 124 gr FMJ 9mm ammo is a solid, reliable shooting round which can be purchased at reasonable prices. We will also be adding RWS brass to our list of brass which can be reloaded many times with confidence."...

    The top on mine is 38 1/4 inches from top of bench. AND you need an additional 4 inches of clearance to remove the case feeder from its mounting post. Terry

    Tips/Tricks for Hornady LNL AP

    Regarding question number 1, Bill Morgan's YouTube channel has a 7 or 8 part series about setting up the Hornady LNL AP press, but he also has a 60 + video series about beginning reloading, which also contains information about setting up a Hornady LNL AP. Video 44 in that series, linked below...

    Lead bullet problems continue (MBC)

    This is a link to a PDF download about bullet casting. Chapter 7 deals with causes of leading: http://www.lasc.us/Fryxell_Book_Contents.htm I am not an expert by any means, but I shoot lots of commercially made hard cast bullets in 38 special and 44 magnum. I use Bullseye for my normal...

    Lead fouling ?

    You have received great advice. My only addition is to download and read the PDF from the link below. It is about lead bullet casting but answers most questions that will crop up if you shoot lead. http://www.lasc.us/Fryxell_Book_Contents.htm Just realized that BDS's reply mentioned...

    Hornady bullet feeder die tubes?

    http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=610350 I had difficulty getting lead bullets that were conventionally lubed to feed reliably. Others have had better success. I will try again in the near future with lead bullets that are powder coated. Hope this helps.

    clearing a jam

    If I understand your question correctly, you are asking about situations where something prevents the slide from going all the way into battery and the unfired cartridge cannot be ejected. If this is the situation you have an unfired round in the barrel, and it would never be safe to attempt to...

    Help with a stuck case

    Generic instructions with good photos: http://www.ar15.com/content/page.html?id=463 There is no reason to buy the stuck cast removal tools from RCBS, etc. All you really need is a 2 inch long bolt and matching nut with 1/4 inch threads, a tap with matching threads, a few washers and a socket...

    Question about shooting lead bullets

    I have used the HSM 200 grain SWC in my XD45 with good results. I have switched to another brand of 200 grain SWC due to lower cost, but the HSM bullets were fine. My load is Bullseye at the lower end of the Lyman range you cited. Make sure you verify your OAL and powder charge independently...

    9mm luger case length

    Are you using a vernier caliper to measure your brass or are you using some other device?

    I have lots of questions.....

    I understand from message #2 that you have bolt rifles chambered in 223 and also some rifles chambered in 5.56. You cannot safely fire 5.56 ammo in a .223 chamber. It is covered in all good reloading manuals. There is also a difference in 308 and 7.62 chambers, I believe, but you need to...

    New Lock n Load Setup Question

    I don't reload 223 yet, but I found this You Tube video awhile ago that is similar to what you are trying to do. His first pass deprimes and lubes in station one using a RCBS Lube die and then sizes and trims in one station using a Dillon sizer/trimmer. He then tumbles the brass. The second...

    Progressive Reloading Systems

    The use of a powder check die has already been mentioned. I use the RCBS Lock out Die, because it stops the press from operating. Great safety feature, especially when you are first starting on a progressive press or when you load several hundred rounds at a time. I would also suggest you...

    Bulging Brass Loading 45 ACP Lead

    Mr. Morris is correct. A friend and I had this same problem setting up his new Hornady progressive last week. Same load as yours, 45 ACP 200 lead SWC. I simply could not get the reloads to fit in the Wilson case guage. I ordered a RCBS taper crimp die and now it seats the bullet in one step...

    gauging wear on 38 spl brass

    I would try to replicate the problem this way: Try individual rounds in all 6 chambers until you find a round that either correctly fits in some chambers and not others, or doesn't correctly fit in any chamber. If the round fits in some some chambers but not others it likely is chamber...
