I am shopping for a bullet mold, and I have been considering the 230 gr Lee tumble lube bullet. On their website it says it has a 2 ogive radius. Lee also makes a conventional style bullet with a 1 ogive radius that is 228 gr. I have no idea what this means. By looking at the pictures of the...

Hello. Does anybody have a load recommendation for this combination that shoots good out of a Sig P220? Ive recently purchased some Meister 230 gr LRN bullets, and I like them a lot so far. Just looking for a light, accurate load for the range. Thanks.

Hi guys. I just resized some lake city brass yesterday in .223 remington. It is 2x fired. Looking at the bases, there is a ring near the case head. Now, I dont know if this is simply where the die stopped resizing, or if this is a sign of a soon to be seperated case head. What do you think...

What makes one caliber easier to reload for than another? I have heard people say that .223 is easy to reload....compared to what? I would consider straight walled pistol cartridges to be easier than a rifle cartridge, just because there are fewer steps. But what makes one rifle caliber...

Hi guys. I need some light loads for .38 special. I have a Lee loader that I am using to load up these rounds. I am using a 158 gr JHP from Winchester, Remington 1.5 primers, and Unique powder. After some research, I am having a hard time finding anything, but compiled this: 3.8 gr of...

I decided to pick up one of these Lee Loaders just because they look neat. I was gonna get one in .45 acp, but decided I might as well get one in .30 special, because my dad has a revolver in this caliber, and shoots it probably twice a summer at most, so I have a few shells already to work...

Hi guys. Just finished loading my first 20 rounds of .223. The load is as follows....lake city brass, once fired from my ar, Remington 7.5 primers, 23.4 gr of AA 2230, winchester 55 gr FMJBT bullets, and an oal of 2.230. At least thats what I shot for. Everything went just fine except for my...

I have heard of this possibly being discontinued in the future.....anybody else hear the same? I am really hoping not, because when my lee hand priming tool breaks, I am planning to get the RCBS APS hand priming tool. It has a universal shell holder, and primes with primers attached to a...

I would like to start reloading for my AR. So far, I have experience with .45 acp, and 9mm. No experience with rifle cartridges whatsoever. What will I need to start? I already have the lee case trimmer, just need the case length guage, and shell holder to go with it, and Im set to trim cases...

Hi guys. Im looking for a good place to buy lead bullets from. I have never loaded lead before.....how is the procedure different from loading FMJ? I am considering casting my own bullets, but first would like to see if loading lead is for me. Thanks for any help.

My reloading bench is a workmate type bench, and I have been enjoying it a lot. It doesnt tip at all, and its got a fair amount of weight to it, since I keep my components on it. However, it is slightly un-level. Will this affect my reloads at all? I would imagine not, but I would like all...

Hello everyone....new member here, and new reloader. I just picked up a pound of Hodgdon clays to reload .45 acp with. I will also be using the precision 230 gr round nose. These are lead bullets with a polymer coating on them. I believe I need to use lead data with these bullets. Anybody...
