Not sure if you read my post, but I do start at light loads and leave them at that. I have no intentions of trying to push them to the max. I also stated that my cases show little to know bulge and the Lee dies do a good job. Not sure if I understand your reason for needing to use the Lee...

I have a few Glocks, Gen3 G22, G19, G26 and Gen4 G26, G23 Been reloading 9mm for a while and had great results shooting them through the Glock stock barrels. So far I have only reloaded with 115gr FMJ. I don't plan on ever using lead as I just don't like handling it. I usually clean my...

Thanks that answered this question and more. These load manuals I have made it alittle confusing with all of the 180gr types of bullets. In them I only have 180gr XTP as the only one to use Universal. I'll just follow what Berry's recommends. Thanks again

I have been happy with my .38 spl & 9mm reloads so now I want to move to .40 S&W. These will be fired from a Glock22 with a LoneWolf barrel. I have been searching for a bullet that will work with Hodgdon Universal Clays. The only thing I found was Hornady XTP's which are kinda pricey. I...

I did back the crimp off on new batch I just made. I seated the bullet to the min. OAL Is there a reason other then looks to cover the cannelure on these?

Everything went great in both guns. Before I went I put a slight more crimp on them. They fired great and accurate. Thanks for the responses.

Thanks for the responses. I'll check out HomeDepot and see with I can find in the PVC section.

I'll play with the crimp on a few tomorrow. I only loaded 15 brass and 3 nickel. I was going to do the fire 4 rounds and check the 5 round for movement. Is that a good test for reloads? I thought it was nickeled brass....I know they are harder, I had to turn the Factory Crimp Die 1/4 turn...

My Wifes S&W 442 Airweight and My Ruger LCR .357

I setup the Lee Classic Turret for .38/.357 and had a few questions. I have a Ruger LCP .357 and a S&W Airweight .38 that I will be testing these out in. Using: 38 CAL 125gr Hornady XTP bullets CCI500 small pistol primers Hodgdons Universal Clays powder and once fired cases. OAL...

Been reloading 9mm on my Lee Classic Turret and just got a new turret plate and .38/.357 dies. I have been looking for something to place the turret plate/dies in to keep them safe and able to store away on the shelf. Does anyone have pics, links to something they use to keep them in?

Thanks again for the great advice.. Range report: Went out this morning with 35 rounds a Glock26, Glock19 and the wifes xD. It went great, all guns fired all rounds with no malfunctions at all. Fired just like factory made ammo and I was on target with everything. So I just reloaded...

Thanks for the replies. It called for 4.5gr so I used the .49cc auto disk powder measure. It measured between 4.2gr and 4.4gr on the Cabelas scale. I did alot of weighing and comparing to try to get comfortable with the Pro Auto Disk Powder Measure. I'll test them out on Monday.

Been lurking on here for a while and just started reloading. Got the Lee Classic Turrent Press with the Lee Deluxe Dies. I'm using a mix of 9mm brass I have been collecting that have been shot from my Glocks and XD. New components are: Remington 115gr FMJ bullets CCI500 small pistol...
