My 38 Special sizing die is not always de-priming the brass, whereas it used to not have this problem. and I can't figure out why. Here is my setup and the last thing I changed: RCBS Pro-2000 Progressive Press - 3 years old. Station 1: Sizing die: Lee Station 2: Expander die: RCBS Station...

I am fortunate enough to have the money to buy a new gun this week :neener: I want to get a new S&W 625, and will most likely shoot USPSA with it as well as having fun at the range. BUT, the fact that S&W makes two models is driving me nuts. Are there advantages of the Performance Center...

I just ordered a new S&W Bodyguard 38 from my local gun shop. I plan to use it for EDC in the summer. The gun has a 1.9 inch barrel. I've been shopping online for ammo, and found that Speer makes a 135gr GDHP specifically for short-barrelled guns, but every online retailer I've checked is out of...

I've never had a problem seeing the powder in cases on my RCBS Pro 2000 progressive press until I started loading .38. The taller case made it impossible to verify there was powder in the case due to the depth of the case, shadows, and the way the top of the press overhangs the shell plate. So...

Does anyone know why Berry's plated bullets are lead diameter rather than jacketed diameter? For instance, their 45 auto bullets are .452 rather than .451. For what it's worth, Rainier plated bullets are .451. Does the slight diameter difference affect the reloading process or the way...

I'm looking for some cool-looking shooting glasses to wear over my prescription glasses. The ones I have now are pretty clunky looking, as are all the other ones I've seen. Anybody found some nice comfortable shooting glasses???

I've been reloading 9mm for a while now, and I want to start reloading 45ACP as well. I have Winchester 231 powder, Winchester FMJ 230gr RN bullets, and CCI large pistol primers. My Lee reloading manual 2nd Ed. lists a min/max of 4.8 and 5.1 for W231 with this bullet. For Hodgdon 38 (which...

I'm thinking of getting a new Glock 21, and I've heard that brass shouldn't be reloaded after being fired through this gun because the chamber doesn't fully support the case. I'd like to reload since .45 ammo is so expensive. Should I consider another gun? Or is the unsupported concern an urban...

Hello, I'm new to reloading and I'm about to reload my first bullets. I was wondering if someone would be willing to verify (do a "sanity" check) on my load data. I have 9mm Luger 115gr Winchester FMJ round nose, flat bottom, bullets and Winchester 231 powder. My Lee Reloading manual 2nd...

Newbie question: Just bought a Glock 17. I read the manual, but still have a question about cleaning. I'm using Breakfree CLP. After I get the slide off and pull out the barrel and recoil spring, should I just brush over all the interior surfaces (aside from inside the barrel) with a dry nylon...
