bullet weight is 230. the book i have says oal should be 1.275. what does everyone else suggest?

this is a gen 4 21 barrel but i was shooting a 1911 today. So seating down is ok? what would the min OAL be?

What am I doing wrong. I have been having a bit of trouble with my .45 reloads. I will make 50 rounds and 3-4 of them will not feed completely into the barrel. When this happens the gun literally becomes inoperable. The slide is jammed and I have to force the slide back on something hard to...

Updates So many questions to try to answer I reload in my garage. It is unheated and I live in Cleveland,Oh so it gets hot hell in the summer and cold as **** in the winter. I do not empty of the uniflow. Powder checker is a die that doesn't "measure" the powder just confirms there is...

Update I am doing ACP. I do use a baffle and I randomly check powder weight with a digital scale. When i say randomly I mean every 12-16 I will dump and check on scale. I chose 6.0 because it was the middle ground of the range scale from Alliant.

Brass That would not be me. I own a new gun range. That is where the brass is coming from.

I have an unlimited supply of once shot brass. I currently sell it for scrap. I am looking to get an idea if people would be interested in it and how much the going prices are. It would always be uncleaned. Do people prefer to pay by pound or piece? Let me know.

I have one other question. My press is in the garage. I live in Ohio and I am seeing bits of rust. Is there anything I can use to preserve and maintain the press

I am having a problem with my progressive. It is an auto index and lately it doesn't want to due a full turn. I have taken it apart and cleaned all parts. Any ideas? It seems to get hung up on the primer strips. I have loaded 1000's of rounds and it just started.

Bit More Is it that i am not cleaning enough of it out? Can you be more specific?

I am just getting my first batch of 223 started. I have deprimed and trimmed and cleaned out the primer pocket. My question is when I repriming the case some of the primers do not seat as easily as others. In fact some I have to struggle with to seat and then they seam to deform. Picture...
