    For "break In" To clean or not to clean?

    Instead of asking so called experts on this forum why not ask a custom builder and see what they tell you. I'm not talking about some Joe Blow that has put a kit gun together at his kitchen table. Ask Ed Brown, Bill Wilson, or Les Bare. They will tell you to run 3-5 hundred rounds through it...

    9mm brass problem

    Do a search on EGW U die, it will cure it. I see this more on 9mm than .45.

    For "break In" To clean or not to clean?

    When you first get the gun disassemble, clean, and oil generously. Run 500 rounds of FMJ through it keeping plenty of oil in it but don't clean. The oil and carbon/powder deposit will lap the moving parts together giving you a nice smooth gun. You can wipe the outside surface off between...

    Worth the wait for a LWT Commander?

    I have a lightweight commander that has seen many many rounds in the 30 years that I have owned it and the alloy frame has held up just fine. In fact I also own a Kimber and a Wilson in alloy frames too. For a carry gun I wouldn't even consider a steal frame gun. Now for competition I use the...

    Choice of .45 ACP Bullet

    I prefer Missouri 200 gr LSWC for practice and use Zero 230 gr FMJ for competition. You have less smoke with a jacketed bullet vs lead so I find it better for being able to find my front sight quicker. These old eyes need all the help they can get. I've priced plated bullets a couple of times...

    Dillon 550B or 650?

    I have had a Dillon RL550B for about 17 years and load for every handgun and long gun I own on it. This winter I decided I needed the XL650 with all the bells and whistles to run my USPSA ammo on (9mm & .45 ACP). One thing is true, this baby sure can spit out some ammo! I kept my 550 and...

    Best 1911

    Wilson Combat Supergrade. I have the following 1911's: Colt Ed Brown Kimber Les Baer Para Ordnance Sig Smith and Wesson Springfield STI And from all of these the Wilson Supergrade is by far the best fit/finish quality and reliable 1911 I own. However I must say the new STI...

    Show us a picture of your reloading bench

    Yeah, it runs the full length of that wall in my garage. I built the workbench to where it could support anything I could get on it. The other end of the bench is a little rougher looking but I haven't worried about it not holding up. :eek:

    Progressive press... one round at a time

    When I'm working up a rifle load I run my Dillon RL550B as a single stage press, works great! Like others have said, it doesn't work as easy on my 650 plus the auto advancing shell plate can be a pain too. Not saying it can't be done on the 650 but it is much easier on the 550.

    Picking Up Brass at Matches

    Years ago when I shot USPSA at the local clubs we picked up brass. Usually the shooter would score the targets with the range officer while half the squad was either pasting targets or policing brass and mags. When you returned to the table guys would hand you your brass and mags. This never...

    Kimber Ultra CDP

    No problems with mine. This is my summer gun for when it gets hot and I need something smaller.

    Dillon 650 owners need some feedback.

    I have both a 650 and a 550. I had my 550 for around 17 years before buying the 650. My 650 is used for 9mm &.45 ACP, those two calibers are my high volume rounds. The 550 I use for everything else from load development to small batch runs in both rifle and pistol. All in all I load about 12...
