I keep a used dryer sheet hanging by the bench. I put it in the hopper and use a screwdriver to swoosh it around. This typically causes the...
I think I know the bulge scenario you describe, as I've seen it happen too. I think I'm barely flaring enough. So I have to put extra effort...
I use the Hornady gauge for my bolt guns - which I use as single shot only. The mag is my OAL gauge for my AR. :)
If I missed it in your post I apologize - but are your current methods producing the accuracy results you want? (i.e. Did you head down the...
Loaded about 40 rounds of .32 Remington.
I'll offer a couple of thoughts re the hard assets and holding onto stuff for practical reasons vs sentimental ones. I think you're very smart to...
Someone (I believe on this board) summarized it so well a year or two ago that it really stuck in my head: For tight groups, powder charge is the...
I would say "precision rifle" I find the most fun to load. I very frequently think of the scene below when I'm loading it. I enjoy other...
My $.02 (added to the myriad of $.02 already offered.....but this is how I would approach it were it me) Re the actual color: If Crimson is a...
You said you're going with the S&W - so the decision seems made. But I'll throw in my $.02 that I love my M&P Sport. It has worked flawlessly....
Very nice!
That graphic is fantastic. I remember reading years ago how the 5.56 has a longer throat, but I've never seen it stated precisely in a freebore...

I bought my first Garand last September. (Well - it arrived in September. When I ordered it wait time (Service Grade) was 6-8 weeks.) Last I...
Maybe I missed it, but did you use a torque wrench when you mounted it on the rail initially - prior to it coming loose? Is it possible they came...
[I debated putting this here or in Rifle Country. I decided on here because in my journey I've had to lean on you reloading experts the most.]...
I'm close to thinking it's not worth the trouble - but I'll likely continue on dealing with them. I like the idea of putting the Lyman bit in a...
Not doing any deliberate stockpiling, but this thread has caused me to remember to stay on top of inventories and be sure I have enough to last a...
For loads I don't trickle (.223, 9mm, .38 Spcl) I charge 50 cases (a loading block) and then seat bullets. For the first 50 (after calibrating...
This morning case prepped and primed some .30-06 cases for the Garand. Over the last few days loaded about 500 rnds of .223 for general plinking...
