So if I want a AR that shoots the 5.56 round where is the best place to buy one right now, whose got the best deals? I'm interested.

Does anybody know if the Smith & Wesson M & P is legal in California? I can't find anything on the CA DOJ website.

My problem is finding stores near me that carry anything but Dillon (Lee and Hornaday). I don't really want to buy one of these over the internet without playing with them. Quite frusterating. :cuss:

So I'm looking at the Dillon 550B and the Lee. The reason I've ruled out the Hornaday is because of using their own dies where as the Dillon or Lee I can use my existing dies. I haven't found anybody that carries the Lee presses but alot of people carry Dillon, because on a purchase like...

How many people measure and sort based off of size their pistol brass? I have been getting some larger variations then I'm happy with, so I decided to start reloading my brass and putting all of together that is within .005 of a variation. Do I just need to work on setting up my dies better or...

Has anbody bought a press and made bullet's too fast and then gotten bored. If some of these presses can make 500 bullets in 10 minutes, I could see getting bored really quick. One of the things that's fun for me is to go sit in the garage for a few hours and make bullets.

I didn't know that, that's why I'm askin.

How many people on here reload with the intent of selling the reloaded ammo for money? Just curious really if it's worth it or just better to do it for yourself.

That's a good idea I will do that today.

As many have probably figured out I'm new to reloading and still have alot to learn but am taking it very seriously. I have the most current Lyman reloading manual; however, one thing it doesn't say is what the tolerances are allowed to be when it comes to the overall length. What I have been...

Yes, sorry.

I loaded 50 at the 5.3 grams which should be at the low side of 800fps and 1.125 OAL.

Thanks for the info everybody.

I normally reload with FP or RS bullet but was at the store and picked up some HBRS-DS ammo on accident but didn't realize it until I got home and opened them up. My question is: 1) What's the purpose of the hollow base and 2) How does that effect the reloading, do I just reload...

One of the reasons I first started really looking into the auto indexing/progressive reloaders is because my brother in law was shooting some of my reloaded ammo and I guess I forgot to put powder in one of the bullets. He pulled the trigger and the bullet got jammed in the barrel :banghead...

Interesting thoughts everybody, keep them comming.

My budget is not huge by any means. I just don't want to buy another press setup and a few sets of dies etc. I'm thinking just buy it once and be done with it for many years to come.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm tempted to go buy a 650 Dillon as the last press I will ever buy; however, with my first baby due in April, and getting ready to start escrow on a house this week, it's going to be a tough sell.

I think the Lee Pro 1000 would fit the bill nicely. Does anybody use the Lee Loadmaster?

I'm not doing this to make money so I'm not trying to do like 500 per hour; however, I just want something that make's more sense. As far as cost, I'm just looking for a good value, I'll spend a few hundred dollars but $650 seems like a bit much for what I'm doing.
