Mathematically speaking, I think the 125 gr bullets lengths are optimal for the 1-18 3/4" riflings S&W and Ruger use. And the older Colt's 1-14 would favor the 158 gr. That all goes out the window as soon as you shoot them because of all the variables that affects reloading. Accuracy can't...

I only sleep about 5 hr a day so I get up usually around 4 in the morning and when i was reading the add at Xtreme at 4am Tuesday morning, the sale was still being advertised. I waited until 9:00am to order and it had been taken down from the web site by then, so I missed it. It must have...

Organizing. This one is pretty decent now, at least I can use space on it. It does double duty between reloading and woodworking. I'm working on my primary loading bench area now, before FEMA shows up and declares it a disaster area. I have some shelves to put up and things to find a new...

Those containers are so over built for what they sell in them that it's ridiculous. That cheese ball container has over 7200 bullets in it. It weighed 128 lbs. I couldn't lift it but I did slid it around a lot and it never broke. (Boy that would have been a mess! ) The pretzel jars are...

2-4000 a month is a lot to be reloading constantly. I would want a motorized press for that. That sounds like Apex Mark 7 /autodrive territory. I can see why your looking for cheap factory ammo. Actionexpress is right with Auto Comp though, it's designed to make a lot of gas for compensators.

I've found those double stepped cases here before at the range I shoot at. Mine were QZK Don't know if it's the same company or not as the ZQI.

Xtreme plated bullets will take care of your bullet needs. I use extreme bullets and have not seen any accuracy problem. Thanks for the heads up on that, I'm ordering today.

Unfortunately, they didn't have any at the range. They didn't even have S&B 115gr 9mm loads. They must be getting a deal on Magtec, that's all they seem to have.

I've had good luck with Rem 1 1/2 s. I've used them in .357 moderate loads and haven't had a blowout yet. I think they're tougher then Remington leaves on.

I always thought S&B 9mm ammo was about maximum load, but I never chrono'ed any. I may go to the range today and if they have any 124gr S&B I buy a box and chrono it so I know for sure. I'll see what they chrono at and get back to you.

Yeah, those are few and far between.

Yes.

The cases can separate right where the ledge ends and the ring off the end of the case will stay in the chamber while the rest of it ejects and tie up the gun. Ask Dude Dog, it happened to him and he had a hard time getting it out. I think he ended up using a threading tap to pull it out. They...

These will keep me going for a while about a year and a half. Around 9000 cases primed, resized, and necksized. All ready for the second pass through the LNL-AP when I need them.

No, you need to resize, then necksize the cases to as I stated in my last post.

I just finished resizing, neck sizing and priming 5000 9mm cases on my old Pro 1000. That's the large cheese ball container. I used 6k of primers on this and the old Pro 1000 did pretty good, as long as I didn't let the primer chute run low. I had to stop one time and dismantle it to put in...

I use a taper crimp in .357 loads all the time. If they are lighter loads, like midrange loads, the case will grip the bullet enough that inertia won't pull the bullet back out. Mine lighter loads ran from 1050 to 1100, just like 9mms and they don't get roll crimped. If you want full magnums...

I used to seat and crimp in one step with any of the 7 brands of dies I have. They all have to be set perfect to work which you already know. I've not had any trouble to speak of with any of them after their tuned in. Hornady sounds like the most convenient to set up if it will hold it's...

I have these silver bullets, Idaho Silvers that is. And these Don't have the same impact as the look of a revolver round.

That was always my feelings too, when comparing a Redhawk to a 686. 686's are hard to beat. They always reminded me of the Model 27,28 Smiths in .357 magnum, overbuilt for sure.
