Which is Better? What’s best? I wrote this a couple years back and have posted it on other websites. Seems the Red vs. Blue debate will go on and on. BOTH presses have good and bad points. You can't go wrong with either, they are a quality products from exceptional companies. This question...

Apparently there where 2.5 million firearms purchased in March. With MANY first time buyers. First time buyers were amazed that it's much harder to purchase than the politicians and media have portrayed. They are completely dumbfounded when they find out you can't purchase online and...

My Dad was an avid handloader. He started prior to WW2. I started seating primers on a RCBS A2 press when I was about 10, I'm now 68 and still have the press. I reload for 12g. 20g, 28g, numerous rifle and handgun cartridges. Many of the rifle cartridges are obsolete and the only way to...

As a result of the terrible mass shootings recently and every politician screaming GUN CONTROL, I thought this short article was especially insightful. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/gun-owners-defy-new-gun-control-laws-in-the-us-and-abroad/

Try Cheaper that Dirt. I saw they had some not that long ago.

That could be a cartridge for a British 577/450 Martini–Henry. However, the 577/450 Martini–Henry cartridge is more bottle neck shaped. Rolled brass cases were quite common before they figured out how to "draw" brass.

You want stuck rifle cases, use spray lube. You want trouble free RIFLE case reloading, use Sizing Wax. Pistol cases are fine with a spray lube. Use One shot on all my pistol cases.

Which is Better? What’s best? This question usually ignites a firestorm of of "Blue verses Red verses etc." What you are not going to find is very many people that have actually loaded on BOTH DILLON AND HORNADY. I have loaded on the Dillon SDB, 550, 650, 1050 and the Hornady LNL. I...

Use Tempered Masonite not the standard masonite hardboard. It is really hard and durable, practically indestructible.

I have a Giraud and I wonder why I didn't buy it sooner. Absolutely love that machine. Yes it's expensive and that really is why I waited so long to buy one. However, my son is an avid shooter and he'll be using my (our?) trimmer long after I'm gone. I have shell holders for each case we...

If you go with a riser mount, the Inline Fabrication mount is MUCH nicer than the Dillon Strong mount, at least in MHO.

You must have gotten a "lemon". I have had a LNL for years. Loaded many thousands of pistol rounds and NEVER ONCE did I have inconsistent powder drops. My son has a LNL and my best friend has a LNL. I helped them get set up and adjusted and THEY don't have inconsistent powder drops. AND...

I have one and it works well. I don't sort brass by head stamp, I just check to see if there is a primer crimp and I have never encountered a problem. If you think about it, the primer pockets of American manufactured brass is covered by SAAMI specs and are going to be so similar that sorting...

I think this is the first thread I have ever read that had MORE Hornady users than Dillion. I have posted this before. I just thought it might be helpful to anyone looking for a progressive press. Which is Better? What’s best? This question usually ignites a firestorm of of "Blue verses...

My wife loves her 9MM S&W M&P. She has small hands and the changeable backstrap allows her a comfortable fit. She shoots IDPA regularly and, started when she was 58:)
