I really am about to throw this thing across my yard into the woods. Often it starts to do a violent "pop" when priming. I then strip the darn thing apart, then put back together and it works fine for a bit. After around 50-100 brass primed, it starts to "pop" again, then rinse and repeat...
Gratz man! I fired my first set of reloads in October this past year. I do recommend hand-priming. After reading how terrible that auto-index was, I decided to hand-prime all my brass. You will know for sure that all of it is seated correctly once you learn the "feel".
I am from the same area Slowfuse. Pat's Archery in Jasper has a nice selection, but they are very high on components. Simmon's Sporting Goods has about the best prices I have seen for components.
Does not seem to be many around here, and I am in Alabama. The few places I buy components from are a drive. Closest one is 15 miles and they are too expensive.
I reload 9mm a lot cheaper than price of factory ammo. The "white" box of Win ammo at Wal-Mart is around 25 bucks for a 100 of the cheap, 115 grain target ammo. I can reload 1k of 115 grain 9mm for around 150 bucks. So, buying 10 boxes from Wal-Mart would cost you around 270 bucks after sales...
After I resize my brass, I run them through my Magnum Sonic Cleaner,blow dry them, and then run them through my tumbler with polish. They look amazing inside and out. I have actually tested sonic cleaned only, and tumbled only. They do not compare to combining tumbling and sonic cleaning, but a...
I have resized,deprimed,trimmed,sonic cleaned, and polished all of it. I am just wondering if I should sell it, or possibly reload it. I heard its not too strong of a case for good loads.
I am still fairly new to rifle reloading. I am liking WCC brass for my .223 reloads. They are firing just fine with no problems. I have a bunch of free FC brass that I am weary of reloading. I have heard of many problems with this sort of brass. Should I even waste my time with it?
Is there anything you can do with this stuff besides scrapping? It has a small pistol primer pocket that takes some sort of "non-toxic" primers.. I am not sure whether to scrap it, or polish it up and sell it on GB..
2.390 is the COAL the Hornady manual recommends and I have them seated to that. I know about twist rates. My Rock River AR has a 1-7 twist rate so it will stabilze them fine. I did trim to the correct length after I resized them myself. This is why I waited a little while before I started rifle...
