I have a question about the Butler Creek AK47/GALIL LULA LOADER. I have a Saiga Sporter and a SKS with the mag conversion will this work with the mags for these rifles? Thanks

I got on this kick to use only one powder for all my pistol loads and have been using Unique as that powder. I have been running Zero 165g TCFM bullets with between 6.5-7.0g of Unique and have been quite happy with the results. I will use the info you guys have posted to find a safe starting...

Thanks for the info I now have a starting point.

I am thinking about buying MBC's 140g TC lead bullets. FMJ has gotten way too expensive. And I was wondering if anyone has any load data with these bullets and Unique?

I use or have used all of these methods with other cals but with the 223 I am trying to do volume. I might resize and prime 2000 at a time and then store em in a bucket that way when I need to load some up I can go at it hard. T Bran how long have you lived in Homestead? I grew up down there.

I use AA2230 meters great. I get about 2970 fps using 24.5g behind a Mil-spec 55g bullet.

I have a question on lubing cases specifically 223 cases. I have a mixture I made of one part Lanolin and 6 parts 99% alcohol. It works well. When loading 223 I do em progressively in 2 steps on my Lee Pro 1000. I resize/deprime and reprime in the first step (i will do a 1000 cases this way) and...

Measure some factory rounds and you will see much worse variance.

Latest update: I emailed the developer he replied back almost immediately :). He said that he has seen that happen before and to be patient sometimes for some reason it takes 30-45 minutes. He wasn't sure why. I walked away from the PC and came back a few hours later and it was done. So problem...

Already tried that. First thing I tried :(. The only thing that is different with my PC is the new drive is a SSD. Thanks for the input.

Where are you getting the pulled 55fmj bullets from? I am using Wideners Mil-spec 55g which cost me $39/500.

I had this happen to me a while back. I was able to back the decapping pin out of the die and with it in my press I used a phillips screwdriver and lightly tapped it out. I inspected the inside of the die and went back to reloading.

I have used the Tula 223s and they work just fine. Are you sure on Natchez's deal or did you mean PV because they have the free hazmat shipping deal going on? As matter of fact we are ordering from PV tomorrow.

I agree with RC. The neck tension is plenty. It takes about 10 hits with my bullet puller to get a bullet out.
