Does the seating stem fit the bullet shape properly?

Not a reputable source. Can't find it elsewhere. Hope it's true. anyone have another source?

I have a push feed 375 H&H that did the same thing. Replaced the magazine spring and now works great.

Yup.. One column is who I want them to go to when I'm gone..

I had the same problem when I got my 460 Smith. After looking at all the data, I went with data from the powder manufacturers. I believe the Lee book is a compilation from multiple known sources. It's great for a cross reference but would rather trust those companies that have actually tested...

I had a Marlin in 450. Fun gun with 405 bullet and 14 or so gr of Unique. Still shoot cartridge but in a Ruger #1.

I have the Noreen Long Range Assassin in 30-06. No problems with it at all in 6 years. One inch at 200 with 168 handloads. Biggest drawback for me was misplacing magazine, buying new at $135, then finding mag. But I needed a spare anyway. If you're down this way you are welcome to shoot it...

Location is also a factor in selecting the uniform of the day.

I think so. I'll have to look if the Dillon trim die is also a sizer. I'm not sure. If you size when decapping on the APP then it should work fine. I called Dillon when I was setting mine up. The tech guys are really helpful.

I bought the Dillon 1500 Trimmer thinking I would do it all at once on my RL1050. It doesn't work out. I would have to give up decapping or primer pocket swaging. Since I would have to prep the brass elsewhere, I set up my 650 to size, decap, and trim. Then clean the brass with ss pins. I...

I'm looking for a good solution also. There are smooth walled vacuum hoses but I'm to cheap to order one. I was thinking of the clear plastic hose also. I have compressed air in the shop so I've just been blowing it off to the corner of the reloading room and clean up the mess later.

Desantis with snap for 640 or 66 2 1/2 inch. Covered with a shirt. Been carrying that way for 25 years and it feels natural to me. I tried a SOB with the 640 but I kept looking over my shoulder to see who was behind me. Made me uncomfortable.

I use a mixture of Iso-heet gas line antifreeze and lanolin. Shake well. A couple of handfuls or cases in a plastic bag, couple of shots of spray, and shake. I size and deprime, then tumble clean. Back off size die when I load. No need for lube then and brass not covered with lube to attract...

You just haven't formed the proper justification! The 22-250: small caliber, high speed, long range, for dispatching varmints and evil critters. The 303: large caliber suitable for bringing home food, any size. The 45-70: One of the most historical cartridges ever made. You will preserve a...

mdi, you can't tell in the pic, but the chronograph has a bullet hole in it. It's hanging above the door to remind me every time I walk out.
