    I have a first gen M9. It has been a reliable shooter. I shoot alot of cast bullets with shot gun powder and have not had any isues. Mine has the silly lock on the side that takes a handcuff key.

    Poll: How long have you been reloading?

    I started in 1995 with a MEC jr to support my trap shooting. Then I got a rockchucker to start reloading 38 special. Well... 20+ cartridges, 3 gauges, and too much equipment later I am still going strong. Happy reloading.

    Wow rock chucker what a beast!

    Alot of good talk about presses. Some new, some old. I too have a RC that is setup with a piggyback for pistol. I have not heard any talk about the old RCBS A2. I found my first at a gun show in the early 90's. I must be the only one who prefers to load rifle on an A2. Still on the lookout for...

    Browning BL22

    I have a BL22 and remember the first time I took it apart. I had the same issue with that small spring. I uses a little nail polish to hold the spring in its little pocket. Glad to hear you got it back together.
