    Neck sizing mixed 223?

    Youre going to need to FL size and trim any brass not fired in your rifle(s) After that you can neck size for a few cycles before another FL sizing is necessary to bring the brass back into spec. For my .223 bolt rifle, FL sizing seems to perform best, YMMV

    Casting- Weight of Lead Question

    These are some of my Hi-tek coated (.356 125grn) 9's from range scrap. The lead is really soft but drop right at .356 and weigh in at 127grn. The range lead really does need some linotype to increase hardness but the coating and Mdie makes them work just fine.

    looking for more cost savings 45 acp loads

    I'll go out on a limb and suggest trying to reuse your primers, i would never recommend it but i've heard say it can be done. :eek:

    Crimping question

    Just for grins i would try loading a half dozen or so a little longer at 1.260 (if the plunk permits) just to see if feeding improves. I have also heard a few stories about kimbers being a little finicky about ammo, including RN.

    Hard time loading with plated bullets

    It should be a fairly strait forward process which will require a certain amount of flare in the case, usually all you need is enough to hold a bullet. Getting it lined up strait just takes a little practice. Also, Hornady makes seating dies with an alignment sleeve, they work great for me.

    Hi-Tek Coating users

    Steve, specifically the unused portion mixed with acetone. I am curious to know in case i don't have time to cast up 2200 bullets which is roughly what my first small batch should do. I got the powdered version that simply mixes with acetone. It works great by the way for anyone interested...

    I just made my first batch of coating which should coat around 2200 9mm. The question is, how long will the unused portion keep before it goes bad or becomes unusable?

    Reloading 22 Magnum

    You may have to experiment if nothing else. What powder are you using for .22LR? start there and work back to a slower powder. A chrono would certainly help a bunch. Keep us posted on your results...
