My experience is that AA2 meters better and burns cleaner than Bullseye. My guess is you'll prefer it, so you did the right thing. Just MO, of...
Grasping at straws, if the primer feed tube is upside down, primers will jam in there every time. I'm sure the OP knows this, and has checked,...
Are you sure it's the PTX sticking? If you flare too much, the case will hit hard going into the seater die, and feel just like sticking. I quit...
My LnL seats primers below flush. Always has. If somebody's doesn't, they need a new ram. One advantage of the LnL system is that you can feel...
Amen on the RCBS small base dies, which are on sale...
I've got three .380s, and I shoot them a lot. Brass is so cheap, like here http://www.diamondkbrass.com/.380-AUTO-2500.html , that scrounging...
In about 100K rounds, I've never had more than an occasional jam due to junk in the ram which you can feel immediately and stop for a fix, and...
Taper crimp dies need a little lube every now and then. Without it, they stick and jerk, which can spill powder. Work the press with a smooth...
I've used a lot of dies, and believe that one is about as good as another. Redding dies are, however, real pretty. The finish is head and...
I have two RCBS Lockout dies for my LnL AP. Used to use one for larger cases, one for smaller. I finally quit using them. In +100K rounds I...
Shame is, Dillon hasn't modernized them since. Hate & discontent sown, I thought I'd add that 45acp is a fantastic revolver caliber, my favorite...
I get more spillage than I like when loading short 45acp's. Longer brass, no mess. Analyzing the situation, I've decided my problem isn't with...
The primer slide should be lubricated with powdered graphite, same as the powder measure. When that's done, it should run smoothly. When...
When I first got my LnL I had a operator-induced stoppage just about every hundred rounds. Seemed like I was always messing something up. Now...
My setup for most pistol calibers on my Hornady press is Dillon sizer, Hornady PTX, RCBS lock-out, Lee seater and RCBS crimp. It's all good.
Actually, I was going to recommend AA9, but 2400 will do the job.
That's especially important if you're attacked by ballistic gel. That stuff really has an attitude! People, on the other hand, come in a variety...
I use lead swc's for most of my defense loads, because I believe that two holes are better than one. The exception is in my 357's for pocket...
Accurate Arms lists a couple of loads. In my 625's my standard carry load is 10.7 AA7 which gives over 1000fps with a 200lswc, but is well below...
Individual styles play a big role in how we like our reloading equipment set up. I load a whole bunch of 200lswc in 45acp. Pre-ezject, using the...
