    .223 Brass lube and Cleaning

    Hello Everyone, I've been playing around with .223 brass and seem to be having a hard time getting a good method down for lubing, resizing, and cleaning off the lube. I was thinking about just lubing up the brass, resizing it, and then putting it into the tumbler. Dunno if that is bad or good...

    Spotting Scope Suggestions

    Hello Everyone, I'm looking to get a new spotting scope for range shooting. My primary purpose for this spotting scope is to do some plinking with my AR-15 at ranges of 100 to 300 yards. I've tried some spotting scopes in the past and trying to see a .223 hole at 100 to 300 yards is sometimes a...

    Press or Bench Priming Tool??

    Hello Everyone, I've been using a hand priming tool for years and it is starting to hurt my hands if used for more than 100ish primers. Does any know or have any information on other press or bench type priming tools or units? I was looking at the RCBS Auto Prime Tool and the RCBS APS...

    ChargeMaster 1500 Scale and W231 Powder

    Thanks everyone for your input. I'm going to load up a few at the current setting, which is showing 5.0 grains atm and then up it back to 5.2 grains and see what the difference is.

    ChargeMaster 1500 Scale and W231 Powder

    So by increasing the grains from 5.0 back to 5.2 will not change the performance and/or pressure? I don't think I'm all that worried about it, since I'm somewhat at the low end. One of my books says 5.0 min to 5.7 max and the other book lists it 5.2 min to 5.8 max. So I'm not worried about...

    ChargeMaster 1500 Scale and W231 Powder

    Arizona98tj, I also check my scale with the check weights all the time and things are always right on. So if I were to increase the grains back up to 5.2 grains, would that make it a hotter load and/or more pressure then? I would be putting more powder in then a month ago and that would cause...

    ChargeMaster 1500 Scale and W231 Powder

    Yes (I always do the calibrate too) I checked the weight before and after the last load session, which was about 1 month ago. All of the checks before, during and after the load session was all at 5.2 grains. I haven't loaded with W231 in colder weather yet, first time here. All of the...

    ChargeMaster 1500 Scale and W231 Powder

    Hello Everyone, I have a issue to run by anyone that can help. So I've been loading some 45 ACP with W231 powder for about 8 months now (this is when I started using W231, since it was so hard to find for sometime now). I'm using a RCBS Uniflow powder measure with small cylinder. I've got...
