So, for reloading the 7.62x39, what primers do you suggest to decrease risk of slamfire in an AKM? CCI #34 military? Any Magnum large rifle primer? Current concern is an IO Inc AKM rifle with a floating firing pin.

Has anybody had a slamfire in an IOINC AKM 7.62x39? If so what ammo were you using? What was your solution to stop the problem?

I have a National Metallic (Midway brand) rotary drum tumbler. The drum by itself is not available (I asked). Does anybody know if other manufacturer's drums have the same driven surface width (i.e. compatible) size? The Frankford Arsenal drum is available individually ($56, backorder OK)...

I have a Lee 365-95-1R 9mm Makarov (365 Diameter) 95 Grain mold on the way. I will be using Starline brass, Federal SPP and WW alloy. Will load 'as cast', no sizer for this diameter. I have several powders suitable for the Makarov, including, Unique, Bullseye, 700x, Titegroup, and maybe others...

What is your favorite 9mm Makarov load? Open question, only constraint is 9mm Makarov.

Have you used a "RCBS Primer Pocket Swager Combo 2" Currently $46 at Midway. I would use this primarily for swaging 5.56 pockets in (mostly) LC brass. I have a couple thousand to do, but probably will not be doing a lot more in the future, unless the SHTF Maybe some 9mm milsurp cases . . . Use...

Anybody have a favorite .45ACP load for a Sierra Sig Sauer V-Crown 200gr JHP .451 in a 5" Ruger 1911 or a Taurus Millenium Pro?

Has anybody used the 90gr .355 Sierra Sig Sauer V-Crown Bullets Jacketed Hollow Point in a 9mm loading? What powder and charge? What pistol? (I know, it's a .380 weight bullet)

Why or why not? I see some manufacturers suggest it is good to do, to make sure cases are round as they may have been bent in shipping and handling. What else do you do to "process" new brass?

Collecting info for loading 9mm Makarov, Soviet era E. German Makarov, with: Bullet: Lehigh Defense Xtreme Penetrator Bullets 9x18mm (9mm Makarov) (364 Diameter) 95 Grain Solid Copper Brass: new Starline Primer: probably Federal SPP, maybe CCI SPP, a few other types available. Powder...

Anybody ever use walnut shell or corn cob media (dry) in a rotary tumbler? My vibrator tumbler motor has become notoriously unreliable and I was wondering about getting another drum for my National Metallic wet pin tumbler instead of buying another unreliable vibrator. I have lots of walnut...

I have been sorting 45ACP and 40S&W brass by head stamp and have come across 2 different Federal head stamps. One just has the word Federal the other has a dot before and after the word: ∙Federal∙ Any difference to be noted for reloading purposes? Obviously Federal thinks they needed to...

I am in the midst of processing a 1000-lot of 1xF 40S&W cases. (First time loading 40S&W) After I sorted for head stamps I had a bunch of R-P cases, and some (17 out of 224) had glock-bulge. Ran them all through my new G-Rx die. The guppy belly is gone, but there is still a 'frown' (groove)...

I am looking for a magazine follower for a Taurus PT145 Millennium Pro. I have looked at all my usual places without finding any. The one in the ebay mag I got is broken. That was settled amicably, but I still need a follower. Thanks for your help!

This was a new one to me. I was at a range today and saw a Kimber Rapide do the strangest missfeed I had ever heard of, much less actually seen. This is an almost new pistol with less than 100 rounds through it. Firing Handloaded, 230gr FMJ, new brass, can't remember the powder charge, but is...

Has anybody used a Thumler's Model B rotary tumbler? Its a bit pricier, but is all metal construction, including the drum. The Reviews on Midway are highly positive.

Has anybody tried recycled finely crushed bottle glass or glass beads for cleaning brass? Either is used in blast cabinets, but what about rotary or vibratory tumblers? Wet or dry?

I was cleaning brass yesterday and my green vibrator motor got stuck. I was able to spin it manually and it started working again. I am thinking over its replacement. My first vibrating tumbler was a Frankford and the motor did not last 20 hours. My green one I replaced it with I have had for...
