    Lee micro disk

    I just found out that Lee has discontinued the micro disk some time ago. I have been searching around and no one has any left. Have some of you folks figured how to bypass this problem? I love that accessory and can't figure out why they did away with it. I thought about plugging a spare disk...

    I just started to reload .223. I bought a Lee die set with a sizer die, seating die and factory crimp die. When it comes to seating the bullet what flairs the case so I can get the bullet started. I have read these instructions 10 times looking for an answer and I find nothing. John

    Uberti 1873 cattleman revolver

    I have been looking at these revolvers and would really like to have one. Info is slim on their website as far as loadings go. Would it be possible to load some bullets for deer hunting that the single action would handle? Hoping to purchase anyone of the models they have in a 45 colt. They...

    Would it be safe to load 125 gr lrn listed as 9mm in a 38 special? Is one thousands that critical? Im sure there is a reason but the searching I have been doing isn't coming up with an answer. I am sure someone here knows the answer.

    45 cal convertable

    Acquired a Ruger New Model Blackhawk and am quite interested in not just shooting both cartridges but the capability in loading the 45 acp on the low side so I can fire many rounds and not having to suffer from stoved wrist on a daily basis. Would someone like to suggest a round that would fill...

    Outside opinion needed

    I own a Heritage Rough Rider big bore Single Action Army replica in 45 colt. I get all the razzing from the guys at the range for not shooting something like a Ruger Blackhawk or Uberti. I like the Heritage. They give the facts that they are cheep, not accurate and a pistol of the Saturday night...

    Bullet delema

    I was given about 1000 rounds of 9mm reloaded bullets that was given to me by a widow friend of my moms. No markings on the boxes as to powder bullets and such. I pulled a few for maybe some clues. I figured I would just pull them and dispose of the powder then start over. Here are the bullets...

    Crunched cases

    I have been having a heck of a time setting up for 32 acp loads. On a few rounds in the seating-crimping station I crunched the cases so bad I can't get the primer out to trash the case. I don't want to go through the effort in cutting the case to push out the primer. What can I squirt into the...

    Rounding edges

    I just purchased a new Ruger SP101 with a satin silver finish. I would like to round over the edges at the trigger guard and hammer. The edges are not razor sharp but with the recoil of the .357 could cut into your hand easily. I just want to make sure I don't screw up the finish as I round them...

    32 cal lead

    I was going to load up a bunch of 32 ACP loads and found I only have a few 32 cal fmj at .311 diameter. I have a 1000 count of .32 H&R mag lrn bullets that measure .312. In the Lyman manual bullets start at .309 for cast and they show no top end for diameters. What do you all think, are they...
