I bought ten boxes of the Rio crap and every single round had uneven roll crimps that forced the slugs to be seated uneven. Don't buy cheap slugs unless you buy American cheap slugs. Your best bet if you want to save money is to cast and load them.

I just read an article on this last week and darned if I can fully remember the process, but I do remember it said the tech put the paste on a tray of primer cups and used a squeege to rake the compound across the cups to get the compound into them and the the tray moved on to the next step...

I bought a case of estate dove loads years ago when the shells were loaded here by estate, but even then the hulls were cheddite hulls imported from France by estate. Heck even some loading manuals told reloaders the hulls were cheddites.

I like unique and #5 in the .380 but now I'm using ram shot zip cause I bought a few lbs of it when it was all I could get. Works great in that caliber and several others for that matter.

Strike the Hornady! Should have paid ATTN. To caliber and they only make 'em in pistol calibers. So it's the Rcbs or Lyman.

Rcbs cowboy set, Hornady cowboy set, or Lyman set.

You have made sure the barrel is tight right? If so break it down and completely clean the bolt sometimes gunk will build up in the firing pin channel. Last resort would be to replace the spring.

I can't believe people continue to rumor that universal is cleaner than the newer unique! It ain't so! If you load it too light it's going to be dirty, but so is universal. That foreign stuff does meter a little better, but it still ain't unique.

Yes universal is the closest thing available to unique. That's what it was formulated to compete with. However it ain't unique! And it doesn't burn any cleaner than new unique, but it does meter better. I went back to good old American made unique after only a lb of universal.

Sunray there are more bullets designed for revolvers than you can count! Just look for bullets with a crimp groove. Rcbs makes a good revolver bulletmold in 230 grains and I'm sure there are others. There are also bullets available for purchase from such moulds.

35 whelen, that was certainly the case during the transition from black to smokeless and all types of bulk smokeless powders were introduced because shooters were blowing up their guns trying to bulk load smokeless powder, but with the abundance of manuals and data available today It really...

Since it's seating the bullet deeper you are screwing the stem down too tight on the bullet after setting crimp depth. Adjust it to just touch the bullet and then apply only a slight amount of pressure being sure to hold it there securely whilst you tighten the stem lock ring.

"I know one of you has a snub nosed .44. Now go get a chronograph some 296 and some bullseye. Load up some 240 grain bullets with each powder and get back to us on which load is faster." This is a joke right????? The point is not to use a very fast powder to try and obtain more velocity...

Everyone seems to be misunderstanding some of what is being said. As evidenced in post# 57 just as one example. Would it be any better if we just called it wasted powder or wasted money? Why use a powder that requires a considerable amount more to achieve slightly more velocity and still doesn't...

A fast powder is used in a short barrel because it releases its' energy quickly. A slower burning powder is used in longer barrels because it burns more progressively and releases energy over a longer length of time as in barrel length and that's how the extra velocity is achieved without...

Naturally when you have the barrel length to allow complete internal combustion, but say what about a snubbie? Lots of info in shotshells manuals on this stuff. Why is it so much different in a handgun? There is also diminishing returns to worry about in long barrels. I'd personally like to see...

To my mind the point he is trying to make is to choose a powder suitable to the cartridge and firearm that gives best velocity while wasting less energy and allows the shooter to have less muzzle flash to deal with...of course this Is my thinking on it and as usual I could bee wrong.

Yes they are $110.00 now, but when it was only $49.00 the rcbs was only $89.00! The redding was like only ten bucks more. So as you can see it's still a great bargain.

The Lee is an excellent choice! I have had mine since they were introduced and have severely abused it. I used it for swaging bullets, even forced it to swage Linotype and if you have ever attempted to swage linotye especially with jackets on them it takes brute force! I've also loaded a few...

I have been a fan of mec presses for over twenty five years, but not in .410!!!! I found it so frustrating trying to load the little rascals on the mec that I purchased a roll crimper from precision reloading for my .410's and have been much happier! Better loads and better looking to boot! BTW...
