Just like last time prices will stay a bit higher than we like or will pay for on a regular basis, a year or two of having plenty of ammo on the shelves and not much moving then we will see all these ''Sales'' on ammo putting prices right back to normal prices. I see this now with online...

Low profile jack should be able to fit right under it with a cut piece of 1x6 to help keep the jack from maring the underside. I moved my Hells Canyon safe this way and it worked perfectly. Second time I moved the safe to the new house I used the same jack in the center holding most of the...

Always an excellent day out on the water. Hunting Nutria is fun for sure and they are good table fare, good meat much like rabbit.

Welcome and Nice bench by the way. I think it will take a good six months maybe more before we start seeing components back in stock regularly. Just hope the prices of todays insanity will not hike the normal prices in the future.

Its been a long minute for sure since I have been on this forum and is shocking news to have seen this thread. My start and guide to reloading was this forum and RCmodel was a guiding light for me as well. We even shipped one another brass that we could not use or had come across just to keep up...

Agree with the double charge, most of the 9mm , 45, and 357 brass I load gets used until it cracks or the primer pockets get loose. But to answer your question, I wouldn't personally pick up brass from a match where most of the competition are rolling their own, if they are leaving it on the...

I have worked up loads with 800x for that same 9mm (4.5 xdm ) and a few others. 115 grain rn plated to 147 gr fmj. Metering is a downfall of this powder but I like the cleanliness and accuracy it provides. I find that much like long shot 800x tends to give better performance at mid to just...

Use the search here for threads about this subject. Yes the dies would need to be adjusted. Some folks have used shims in the single stage to raise the bushing so no adjustment needed. Happy reading.

Try soaking the cases in diesel fuel, its thin enough to penetrate or transmission fluid, may have to soak for several days. Worth a shot if you still have some you have not de capped yet and suspect them of corrosion in the pockets

Probably not much help, I know the one pounders tare at 1015 to 1020 gr Hopefully some one has an empty 4 lb to weigh for you. Did you google it :D Why not a large zip loc bag then you can cut the corner and funnel it back into the jug Correction had to be made on the weight, I posted it in...

Not only will the plastic jug vary, so will the amount of powder in each can ! The method for weights at most all manufactures utilizes a hopper/ scale that is digital and drops the product when weight is reached. There is a range of high and low programmed into the machine by the operator and...

If his weapon is older or may be suspected to have an issue I would definitely work up a load starting low and work up to find the sweet spot with it. Also assuming that your ammo will function and feed in his pistol. Hope this helps. The ar I wouldn't worry about unless one has tighter...

I load 9mm and 223/556 for ar platforms as well. I use the same ammo in a few different name brand weapons. Even close friends that trust me and my quality control enjoy the ammo I produce for said rounds. I have not seen any difference in my rounds in any gun that is modern or in good working...

Keep us posted on your work ups and findings on any gathered data or progress. I'm also pondering the use of my S&W 357 mag for some sport challenge and Dinner plate work out regimen :D

Are you looking for charge data or the actual process of loading ?
