I have some N550 that I’ve been looking forward to trying but haven’t had the chance yet. I’ve dabbled with various of their powers in pistols and did like them! With that said - they used to be more expensive around here than other common brands; however, I’m finding now they are the same...

Well..that’s interesting. How do you know they are for pistol? Starline states on their website that they would no longer produce pistol primer 500S&W brass after July 28, 2003. Did you just happen to come across something that old stock?

What specific primer can you get? Also - what cases and what powder? The thing that immediately comes to mind about NATO primers is the cup thickness / hardness. They are designed to prevent slamfires in various semi-autos and meet mil-spec requirements meaning they have a bit more heft to...

I tried doing the grid idea, too, but it didn’t work out the best for me. Similar to other suggestions above, I set up a phone / GoPro to record a video of the target, then once I’m done shooting, I retrieve my phone and target. Then I can replay the video and mark each shot on target. I used...

I saw a video on YouTube recently where the gentleman used a sizing die to hold his brass to drill it out for a modified case gauge. As an idea - why not try to find a sleeve (some sort of metal?) that is a close fit to the drill bit. You can then insert the drill bit into that sleeve, then...

I like the way you think! I absolutely love my 350s! What are the details on the rifle in the picture!

How about the 6.5, 350, and 8mm Rem Mags?! Some of my favorites to load and shoot! Not only that, but the chase game to find the rifles and brass is something I actually enjoy!

I completely agree with that thought! Only a few moments are needed to put out a general note to convey a message to all the folks who have sent them money.

I have worked up loads for multiple TSX and TTSX. Generally, load development is in the 16-19 shot range. Start at .0500” off the lands and get to it (this is directly suggested from Barnes and has worked incredibly well for me). I do a 7-10 round work up at 200-300 yards using the Satterlee...

Do they charge ya when you place the order, or at shipment? While a delay in getting back to you may be appropriate, I don’t think a delay of over a month with our any response is appropriate - especially if they have your money. However, this perspective is coming from a consumer! I imagine...

There are a few local places that still have it on their shelves. They also have signs saying “This is not the same as 17HMR.” Last I looked I think it was $8.95 a box. I have a good amount for my 17HM2s (hellooooo CZ 452s!) so I haven’t picked them up in case other M2 fans out there need it...

I’m intrigued to know what the powder is! Is it one that we have known comes less than a pound, or is there an oldie that comes a little lighter now?

While I see the good in sitting on stuff, I also see the good in letting it go. I like to buy, trade, barter, and sell. I do it so that I can continue to shoot and enjoy our sport, no matter when the time. I’m pretty well set up with stuff, there’s no doubt; however, when I buy a new to me...

As for the conserving resources - did you run these over a chronograph? Check ES and SD? While we don’t know your intentions, these variables may play a role in your adventure. Potentially to the point of using that one extra grain of powder worth it. (Let’s be honest here - the difference...

This is something I’ve long suggested to fellow Dillon users! Pick up a powder bar and powder die for each caliber tool head that you own, when swapping, remove and move the powder measure to the next head and replace the bar. Boom. Done. It only adds a couple of minutes to the process...

I walked into a local store a couple weeks back and scored two bricks of CCI SRMP for $23.99 each and four boxes of CCI Maxi-Mag 40gr WMR for $12.99 each! (Well a brick and two boxes of ammo for me and then the same purchase for the Mrs.) I was shocked - I don’t think I ever saw primers for...

Crap. I didn’t even realize, nor thought to count, until this post. I have over 60 types of powder. I think it is time to go through and part ways with some stuff. Anyone in SWPA want to do some trading?!

Another option, to help save money, is simply buy spare powder charge bars. For each tool head, have a dedicated powder bar - then, when you switch from one caliber to the next, simply remove the powder measure, replace the powder bar with the appropriate one, fix it to the tool head. Boom...

I’m soon to start working with a CZ 22 Hornet and have tried to source a few powders and bullets. At this point, I have a few option of where to take loading. Where are you located? I may be able to help out with some H110 or Lil’ Gun (if local).

You should be using the expanding mandrel after completing the sizing step. You are correct in removing the decapping stem and expander ball from the die prior to sizing. As for lubricating the necks, I will dip certain rifle cartridges in Imperial Neck Lube media prior to running through the...
