    Training at academies -- pickup your brass?

    You mention 'moon clips' are you seriously considering a pistol fighting class that expends 1200 rounds using a revolver? Most all high volume classes forbid reloads (I know your reloads are safer than factory so are mine) this is a liability issue for the guy next to you. One place I fired...

    Hornady ultrasonic cleaner

    I have a RCBS ultrasonic cleaner that I use often to clean brass & parts. It is best suited for water based cleaners or denser, but does not work well with petroleum based solvents. The frequency is not correct for the thinner solvents. If you are thinking of using it for silencer cleaning I...

    Double Action 45 ACP thoughts?

    Blueduck, if you carry a Glock at work you should carry a Glock of duty, even your 'range gun' should be the same as your duty gun. Different cal. is acceptable but handling needs to be the same. From 1991 thru 2014 I carried the same Sig P220 always concealed. Over 10,000 training rounds...

    Will steel ammo screw up my XD9 sc??

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx7dcpyzkKc 25 million rounds down range is a statically valid sample. http://www.hornady.com/store/Steel-Match-handgun/ YZ shoot more think less. I hope you can trust Hornady as a valid source. Just how many guns have any of you seen worn out...

    reloading 9mm brass and bullets

    Matthew, after sizing look at the case. Just above the web there should be an obvious change in diameter. Once thru the expander die it should be hour glass shaped with a small flare at the lip. If you are doing good with the 40's, 9's are the same process. Remove expander plug and measure...

    What gun for carrying on ranch/farm?

    Colt Compact 45 ACP, Lever carbine center fire and/or 20 ga single shot. No poisonous snakes here. Revolvers are just to big to carry if your doing any thing but driving or riding in which case I will have a long gun. Do not carry any thing you are afraid to get dirty, scratch, and dinged if...

    Loading the .32 Win special

    30-30's brass will work fine for 32 Sp. I have been loading 32 Sp since 1968 at that time the only lead bullets were my own hand cast and Crisco lubed, jacked bullets were available from several big name makers. Today I am shooting Beartooth Bullets 170 LFNGC. These are Lead Flat Nose Gas...

    30 cal cast lead with gas checks ?

    I shoot Bear Tooth Bullets 160 FNGC .309, in front of Winchester 748, in a variety of 30-30's. Price seems fair, they fly straight, do not lead my barrels, punch nice holes in paper, and kill any thing I shoot with them. All so shoot their Gas Checks in .323 and .458.

    Starting reloading for .30-30?

    For lead and jacketed bullets the M-Die is the answer. John Wall nailed it. I perfer the Lyman sizing die, the neck portion is larger diameter than any other die I have measured, this means less working of the brass. When using the M-die I use no expander ball in the sizing die, again less...

    .30-30 Win reloading problems

    "Hornady has taken their Flex Tip Expanding bullet they use in their LEVERevolution and made it available in a projectile only. The patented Flex Tip bullet features an interlocking design that keeps the core of the bullet and the jacket together creating a deeper penetrating, more humane kill...

    .30-30 Win reloading problems

    No need to run them thru the second time .306 ball is fine, it is line to line with the first stage of the M-die. It will work just fine until you get a smaller ball. By passing twice thru the sizing die you are working the neck more than neccesary, not worried about you just the brass. You...

    .30-30 Win reloading problems

    Been loading lead bullets for years. I use the M-die religiously. Long ago I removed the expander ball from my 30-30 sizing die, RCBS used to make a nut to replace the ball, but you can just use a smaller ball that does not touch or size. All expanding is done with the M-die, this is easier...

    which sizing die for .357 and .38

    Bullets need to be snug in the cylinder throat. Measure all of the throats then round up.
