You say no Cabela's near you. So where would you pickup the gun and do the paperwork? I would guess a non Cabela's FFL. I don't see the problem.

[I think you can see him shoving a third object into his pants after he holsters the gun.] Looks like a magazine to me. He had a spare mag in there also?

Quote [I don't think so, all I did with regard to crimp removal was a quick chamfer with a Phillips bit at the edge of the pocket. The other rounds at 18.5 showed signs of severe leakage, 18.0 shows very minute signs of leakage when viewed with a loupe. The two lesser charges of 17.0 and 17.5...

I agree bullets are not ammo. I got the same post card the other day and did wonder if the 10% was good for bullets. Haven't tried it yet.

A 357 bolt action carbine. Ruger 77/357 ? Yes a 22 also called rimfire scope is a good match. The parallax on a rimfire scope will be set at 50 yrds. A regular centerfire scope usually has a 100 yrd. or more parallax setting. Unless you get a scope with AO. No worries about the scope holding...

Sure sounds like you have a very old set of dies. All modern pistol 3 die sets have the resize and decap in the same die. Not sure how long it has been this way just a long time.

Did I miss something. The op was about returning firearms Not ammunition. No retailer I know of will take a return of ammo. Never had to return a gun.

Dillon sells Eliminator beam scale with 511 grain capacity and .1 gr resolution for $70 which is essentially an Ohaus scale - https://www.dillonprecision.com/dill...8_7_25215.html Yes that is the one I have. It is a very nice high quality scale. And you can not beat Dillons warranty and...

I believe There is another part needed. You need the seating plug. Hornady seating dies have a sliding sleeve with the seating plug as separate part. This is why the stem of the micrometer is flat on the end. And why the Hornady micrometer will not work with other brand dies.

Sound like you are getting it figured out. I don't see any comments about a powder scale. There will be plenty of recommendations for what brand to buy. I like my Dillon beam scale the best.

You say hold it plumb.? If you are holding the powder measure in your hand that is the problem. It needs to be mounted solid. And as already said you need to be consistent with how you move the handle. Setting it up to dump on the down stroke of the handle is good advice. That is how I do it. I...

I don't like Ebays rules either. But you have it wrong. There are plenty of magazines and barrels for sale there.

No problems with perfecta in 45 acp. Been shooting and reloading it for sometime now.

Tcruse What COL do you seat to with the Xtreme 225 FP.

If you did not know they do have a upgrade for the big boss. It is the big boss II ram sold as an upgrade to get the tube primer catcher. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/952252/redding-replacement-ram-for-big-boss-ii-reloading-press I think the Redding boss and big boss series presses are the...
