I normally use CCI small pistol primers for 9mm loads but lately I've had problems locating CCI primers. I use Federal small pistol primers for .38sp cowboy loads that I shoot in competition and keep a pretty good supply of them on hand. Federal are a little softer than CCI but I have never...

I tumble mine, resize it and trim it, then retumble it. I clean the primer pockets and then prime all of the brass and then I store it....with the primers in. How do others store their brass? Is there anything negative to be said about storing rifle brass primed and ready to load.?

I ordered some bullets from them a week ago and hadn't received them yet. So here it is on Sunday night I sent an email to [email protected] just asking the status of the order. I expected to receive a reply on Monday during the day. Well, I was surprised when I received a reply...

I bought some 68gr BTHP (ballistic tip hollow point) bullets in .223 and my loading manual does not have a load for this round. I use Varget and H322 powders mostly for .223. Does anyone have any load data for this bullet in .223? Thanks.
