Thanks for the help everyone. I will do the barrel drop tests in all of my .45's I want to load so that the rounds work in all of my Glocks and 1911's. I am just starting out so all of the help is appreciated
So I have two reloading manuals and one gives cartridge overall length for the loads and the other gives a length and then says that overall length may need to be changed for the re-loaders pistol. the first book lists length at 1.210 and says can be adjusted for pistol, the other just gives max...
Well I spent a few more dollars and got the inline Fabrication Double bin output set up and the Inline fabrication Double Bullet tray and ultra mount, L.E. Wilson case gauges for .223, 45Auto, and 9mm. A Powder trickler, a few more sets of dies and will order a super swager 600 next week. I...
Gee thanks for the help Nelsons02! I have been buying all of this stuff since last summer if you must know. But I am not made of money so it has taken me a year to get to this point. I figured I would just save all my brass from my shooting while getting the equipment I needed and I would be...
Thanks guys,
I think I am gonna go with the garage padded mats for the front of the bench since I will be standing most of the time anyway. I am not worried about it nearly as much as my wife seems to be. As it is brand new carpet.
The poly on my new bench is drying in the garage as I type. It will be my first time reloading but I have been acquiring tools for months. Anyway, I am setting up my new equipment un my upstairs office. It has a nice carpet flooring. What is the best way to protect it from spilled powder etc...
Yes I am getting some great info. Thanks guys
I need to decide what type of storage containers I am going to go with for sure. For now it will be some extra ammo cans and Zip lock containers I have laying around. I do have some labels and markers in my pile already. Keep the info coming it is...
Thanks for the reply,
No I don't have the RCBS motorized case prep center yet but it is looking like the best way to go to me. Yeah I bought the Hornady One shot just to clean up the press and powder measure once I un-box it. The RCBS case lube kit for everything else. I have a grease gun and...
Ok Conservidave, Just read about swaging tools. Looks like there are two camps on this one. Some like the Dillon super swager method of crimp removal with the press type tool and others like cutting it out. Which one is best?
Just realized I still need a powder trickler also
Good call on the safety glasses I will have to get a set dedicated to the reloading bench. Primer pocket brush is part of the Lyman case prep multi-tool. I have some dental picks so thanks for the heads up I will ad one to the bench tool set. I will have to look into what a swaging tool is.
Thanks Joecil,
I have the RCBS 505 beam scale on the list.
I forgot to add the micrometer to the list but I do have two of them actually one digital and one dial. Just added to the above list
Thanks for looking it over for me
