I recently had a problem with my Dillon XL650 that caused some primers to seat sideways while loading 460 S&W. The problem has been fixed but it got me to wondering if it was possible to set off a primer by crushing it in the machine. The problem was with the primer seater assembly. This is...

I recently worked up a load for 9mm following the data on Hodgdon.com (see below). I put 4.4 grains of HP-38 under a Remington Bullet 9mm (355 Diameter) 124 Grain Full Metal Jacket (Federal No. 100 primers, COL was 1.095). After test firing at the range I noticed the primers were seriously...

If you had a recipe for a 124gr RN with a full metal jacket but you were using a 124gr RN with a total metal jacket, what adjustments (if any) would you make to the load?

I have some IMR PB and Rainier 9mm 115gr plated HP bullets. As you probably know, Rainier states on their website that reloaders should use data for lead bullets. I have three manuals but none of them have a recipe for a lead HP. The Hodgdon site has data for a lead RN. Bullet Wt (Gr.) Mfg...

Avast, me hearties! Should come in handy when I pillage and plunder. Arrr!

I picked up a box of range brass and noticed two different head stamps for Federal brass. One case has two dots on each side of the FC. The other case has no dots. Anyone know what the difference between the two cases is?

I am thinking about getting a pair of electronic ear muffs. Are they a reliable form of ear protection? What should I look for and what should I avoid?
