    Dillon tumbler

    Just got my new Dillon CV-750 tumbler. So quiet, I almost can't even tell it's running. Anybody else use one?

    Shotshell Primers

    I'm not new to reloading pistol & rifle, but I am new to shotshell loading. I know to follow the recipes in the book, but what about primer interchangability? Is there that much difference from one to another?

    250 grain 45 acp load?

    Anybody have any experience loading 45acp with 250gr lead rnfp bullets? I'm wanting to try some for my 45 revolver, feeding won't be an issue. I just can't seem to find any load data for acp or auto rim for the powders I have (titegroup, 231, competition, clays). Thinking about this for a ESR...

    Ramshot Competition

    Anybody using Ramshot Competition for 45acp? I picked up some to try and loaded a mid-range load. I don't have a chrono but the manaual gave velocities for this load and my current load of titegroup very close. It seemed much softer in recoil than the titegroup load and not as much smoke with...

    9mm IDPA load.

    As much as I love .45acp, I recently traded my 45 M&P:o for a 9mm M&P for stock service in IDPA. All my reloading has been for 45, 38, and 223 thus far so I'm looking for suggestions from others about their favorite load. I'm using Ramshot Competition for .45 but also have Clays, 231, Blue...

    Powder life?

    I know this question has probably been posted a thousand times but my brother-in-law brought me some stuff from his deceased uncle storage including these apparently unopened cans of powder. Now I'm not sure just how old they are, but it's been a long time since IMR 4320 was 3.40 a...

    Working with Kydex

    What's your thoughts on working with kydex? I didn't see a holster for my M-22 that I liked so I thought I'd try it my self. I orderd a sheet of kydex and made my own. I thought it was pretty easy to work with. Maybe not a professional holster but it functions. Had enough left over to...

    Odd Brass?

    Anybody got a guess as to what this brass is? I found some at the range and picked it up thinking it was 308. A 308 case is smaller is in the picture. It's headstamped with a D on one side, an A on the other, a 4 at the top, and 79 at the bottom. Rim is also larger than a 308. Has three...

    Revolver front sight replacement?

    I'm wanting to replace the front sight on my M-22 Thunder Ranch but all the fiber optic sights I can find state that they don't fit the Classic series. Is there a FO front sight that I can use?:confused:

    Revolver cylinder latch?

    Can I replace the old style cylinder latch on my M-22 Thunder Ranch with the new style slanted version? I'm wanting one of the SDM aftermarket latches but I think the slanted version would be faster. Thanks.

    Clean load with lead?

    Anybody have any suggestions about what the cleanest powder/with lead for 45acp ESR revolver load would be? I'm looking to keep my cylinder chambers clean for faster reloading. I generally only load lead, and would like to keep one load, but if I have to I may go with plated/jacketed for major...

    ESR load?

    I'm switching to ESR this year in IDPA and looking for a good lead bullet load. Anybody got a good suggestion. Have been loading with 231, Titegroup, and Clays, but I'm open to getting a new powder if I need to. Thanks.

    Dented cases?

    I've loaded pistol for several years with no problems, but I'm new to rifle loading. Trying to load .223 but I keep getting dented cases. :( I'm using Lyman Qwik spray case lube and following the instructions. What can I do to keep this from happening.

    Loading the 7.62x54?

    Anybody loading cast bullets in 7.62x54r? If so where can you find bullets if you don't cast your own? I'd like to load some light plinking load for the old carbine. Thanks. Chris

    45 Auto Rim with ACP Dies

    Can I use my .45ACP dies to load 45 AUTO RIM? Should I switch to a roll crimp die? If I'm shooting 45acp in a revolver, should I use a roll crimp on it? I'm new to the whole 45 revolver thing, but I thought it would be fun.

    Clean powder for .38special.

    I'm looking for a ultra clean burning powder for my SSR loads. Loaded some with some PB that I had and after about 125 rounds had trouble with cylinder rotation due to powder residue. I'd like to be able to shoot SSR in IDPA but 125 rounds won't get me through a major match. Anybody got any...

    Odd 9mm bullet?

    Got an odd 9mm cartridge in a bag of 5.56 and .308 cases a friend gave me. The tip of the bullet is painted red with a blue ring underneath. The head stamp is LEW 06 and the primer is sealed with what looks like purple paint. Anybody got a clue as to what this is? I'll try to get a pic on...

    32 long loads?

    Anybody got a favorite 32 long load? I currently use W-231 for my 45acp loads and would like to use either it or maybe some AA5 that I have. Thanks,
