lee turret

Well. Sorry for the delay in responding. I backed off of the crimp and that solved the problem. Thank you for all of the replies.

I crimp with a lee die. my whole setup is lee. I like the tip on setting up the crimp. I will try that. Thanks

I don’t think that it has to do with diameter since other bullets shoot fine. And vice versa with the full size nine. I had wondered if crimp could be the cause of my problem. I pulled one bullet to compare it to others and play with drop tests and the bullet was deformed from the crimp...

I have a new carry gun (bersa bp9cc) that I wanted to load some hotter loads to practice with. I bought some berry 124 RN and loaded 5.0 gr of unique (this I had crono at 1150 FPS out of a full size 9mm). out of the bersa 9mm it key holed, so I loaded a lighter 4.7 and it still keyholed. The...

lee gets bashed a lot. Thats all I have used and have never had any problems. Everthing from casting to loading. just sayin.

i PICKED UP 4000 AT A GUN SHOW. I will get throught them and go back to winchester

I purchased the Lee 4 Hole Turret Press with Auto Index Deluxe Kit a few months back. 117.00 not bad. I have not had any problems and find no problem with the scale either. I am admittedly new and dont know anything other that what I decided to buy. So far 300o rounds and it was a good...

bds I did no mean it like that. I get a kick out of many threads. The answer is given and then little by little a little deviation come in, sometimes down right arguments. I realize that is a result of people that are passionate about the subject and have been active in it for a long time. I...

I am not sure how this thread got to where it is, but just to be clear I did not think (nor do I) that the bullet is the problem. I appreciate the comments. the responses to questions on the forumn are simply amazing.

I have been watching videos on slugging the barrel. Ill have to get a few things with my next order (there is no end of ordering). I dont cast yet but will slug and cast to the proper size. Thanks

Criss I have not had any problem keyholing before this out of the cz. Though I have had o make some oal adjustments to the 125 rn from mbc. I am going to start casting this winter. I have everything set and ready to go at it. The only mold I have thus far is a 125 gr lee mold that I bought off...

bds. How did you get picture of my target? At least that is exactly what mine looked like. I think I have had explaine to me this portion of the mystery. Well the wife just walked in laughing at me because I got out of bed to come see if there was any more input. She shoots all the bullets I...

bds. that makes sense. I was shooting at paper on a brand new backboard at our gun club. When I noticed it keholing on the paper, I shot the pristine backboard just to make sure of what I was seeing.

Yes, I did a drop test and it did fine. I dont have a cronograph yet, but it is in my next purchase. I have not inspected the gun yet. I have fired less than 100 rounds since cleaning it last week. I think that keyholing usually results from problems with the barrel, which is why I dont...
