Yes, American Reloading is legit. Fiocchi Primers work ok. I've used a few thousand of them. We used to see them at gunshows pretty cheap.

You may or may not be able to sort them. I would load them in pistol ammo, not rifle ammo. I would recommend leaving them in the original packaging in the future.

Looking forward to hearing about this! I have a 35P that I'm happy with but it takes a little time to set up.

Sure! A few places have them in stock now. Not cheap, but they have them. Or you can shoot something else and wait for them to get cheaper. But they may or may not!

If I change something in a known load I drop back a little and work back up. But I don't drop all the way back to the starting load. I don't know of any single source of information that will do what you want.

I am glad that you were not injured! I agree with the others, a heavier crimp is not the answer. The fix will be in the sizing die. I didn't see if you said what sizing die you are using. I load a lot of mixed brass and have had zero issues with bullet set-back using either Dillon or RCBS dies...

I think thats a good idea. I'm coming around to doing the same!

If the 243 is still shooting ok I wouldn't swap. Like the others have said, it depends on what you have and what you want to do with it. For what its worth, a few years ago I caught the 6m bug and researched them. I ended up building a 243 with a 1-8 twist barrel. The 6 CM was not on the scene...

I just measured mine and they average .2555 long and .048 in diameter. They don't get stuck in 223 brass but will get stuck in the neck of 17 caliber stuff. I didn't like my RCBS media separator. It had a groove at each end that would trap my pins.

I agree, Winchester's new brass sucks. The factory ammo still seems like its ok. 10 years seems about right. I have bought and used a lot of new Winchester brass over the years. It seems like their QC started failing back during the Obama shortages. Hello Fellow HopHead! My default setting...

I don't know about "Zin" but reloading relaxes me. I get a real feeling of satisfaction from loading ammo thats more accurate than factory. I have one of those Blue Tooth rubber covered speaker thingies that plays music from my phone. I like older Country, Easy Listening, some older Rock, ect. I...

To each his own! Do what works best for you. I deprime mine before I wet tumble them. But I do that before I put the brass in storage. It may be days, months or even years before I load it.

Ouch! That hurts! I've never deprimed a finger but I was changing dies in a 450 Lyman Sizer/Lubricator and had the handle fall. It punched a hole in my thumbnail that matched the top punch! :cuss:

Another Pachmayr recommendation here. I have shot other guys pistols with Hogue grips that worked well but I don't own any.

I have an assortment of stuff in my range bag. A piece of 1/4 inch paneling cut slight bigger than the footprint of my rear bag, a piece of a mud flap off of a big truck and a piece of Horse Stall mat. I was fortunate to be working at the high school when they were putting matting down in the...

I don't remember ever having a pin stuck in a 223 case but I would have to measure my pins to be of any help. I'll try to do that after the Razorbacks play this afternoon.

I have an old fashioned Anvil that I use in the garage but the stump looks like it might be something that I may try for inside use when the weather doesn't favor work in the garage!

I don't load or shoot a 30-30 very much anymore. My loads were any case, any standard primer, a Sierra #2000 150 grain ProHunter Flat Nose and a moderate load of either 748, 3031 or 4895. In my opinion the 30-30 is an easy cartridge to find a load for and there are many more combinations other...

Being retired, its been fairly easy for me to stay caught up in the loading room. So some of what I post is a stretch, but here goes! But I was in the loading room! ;) I unpackaged, weighed and stamped permanent letters (P) on the Pewter that I recently bought. A whole bunch of ingots weighing...

I do the same thing. This is the reason that we seldom have to pay panic prices on components! Call me a hoarder if ya want..............!
