    What caliber are you not going to bother reloading?

    1+ on .380. Don't shoot it enough to justify reloading. I'm currently not reloading 9mm either but I've got bullets from an estate sale purchase so it could be in my future.

    Help me figure out how to make the RCBS primer pocket swager work with my presses

    Different brass opens up differently with this tool. Just have to get a feel for it and don't go so fast that you can't feel variations in pressure. When I was running 223 brass really fast, I'd have a few pieces where the pocket and the swaging button didn't line up perfectly and I ended up...

    Help me figure out how to make the RCBS primer pocket swager work with my presses

    I've used this Dillon Super Swage tool on 223 brass and its not a flawless operation. But its the only one I've used so far and my complaints are related to mixed brass.

    So apparently I suck at reloading already. Problems decapping military crimped brass

    1KPerDay, I agree with flashhole. A swaging tool is a "must have" if you're going to be working with mixed range brass. But using a swaging tool isn't a one-size-fits-all solution in my limited experience. Usually they get metal out of the way by pushing it but they don't remove brass from...

    So apparently I suck at reloading already. Problems decapping military crimped brass

    1K, Thanks for pointing out what I didn't notice in the original post about the caliber of the brass. I can't imagine that you'll need a TON of leverage to decap your brass even with serious crimps in place so the single stage press you mentioned should work fine. Others have mentioned...

    So apparently I suck at reloading already. Problems decapping military crimped brass

    Apparently I can't type a long message without the forum logging me out and losing the content. NICE... Anyway. So you're having issues with military crimp on rifle brass. Welcome to the club. With mixed brass, you should consider adding several steps to your case preparation before moving...

    1,000 yard ranges near DFW?

    Some friends and I just drove out to TacPro last Tuesday. I was very impressed with the facilities. It was totally worth the drive! I can't imagine a property owner doing A FRACTION of the kind of work that Bill has done out at Tac Pro for serious shooters. Safety is everything and Bill...

    Looking for a Reloader in DFW using a Loadmaster

    This is my first post to THR. Great information here for sure. If you are reloading with a Lee Loadmaster and you live near the DFW area, and you wouldn't mind showing me your setup, please send me a PM. Currently I'm loading volume 223 and volume 45 for target shooting but I'm using a...
