Wow been a long time since I've been here. Haven't reloaded much in 3 years. Infact I haven't shot in a year... I'm out of loads for deer season this year so I'm getting ready load up some 270, 30-30 and 223. There are 3 of us hunting. Anyway Wife and kid are at a concert tonight so I...

Anyone here ever owned or shot one of these things? Picked up a nice one in trade this weekend. Shoots great and functions. Doesn't seem to be a jam-o-matic lien these seem to be. Anyway this thing is pretty harsh on the shoulder compared to my 500's. Seems to be anyway. I put maybe 60-70...

Found a great deal on a used RCBS 5-0-5 scale, 25 bucks. Got it home set it down it doesn't zero. Looked it up online only to realize it's missing the pan. Dang it! Oh well, lesson learned. The sell doesn't have it either. MY fault lesson learned. Still not a bad deal though. Excited to...

And I'm nervous. No I haven't bought anything yet and yes I have reloaded 45. Not a TON, maybe 1500 -2000 or so. I've done a few thousand 9mm and maybe 1000 of 40 and have been reloading for 2 years. Why am I nervous? I don't know the fear of the unknown. I load lead for 44 mag and...

Found that at some point I bought some 124gr JHP Hornady bullets and I was going to load them up today. Pulled the Hornady manual and looked at what powder would work well. I have some Unique so perfect. It says 4.0-5.0 gr. for the heck of it I pull my Lee manual and it says 5.1-5.8! How...

Two months ago I got married and moved in with my now Wife. Even though I'm younger I'm still kind of old school and didn't move in until I was married. Anyway my computer desk and reloading bench now sit 90 degrees of each other instead of being in separate rooms. My computer chair is pretty...

Picked up in a trade today, a JP Sauer and Sohns Chief Marshal colt single action army clone. I've been poking around looking at what I need to buy to reload for it. I'll be buying Lee dies. For many reasons I prefer them on my LCT. From what it said I can use the 38 dies to do 357 or 38 but...

OK so I've searched the interwebs for days now and haven't found one place to really help me out. And I'm no research sluff, I"m an IT guy by day so I live on search engines. Anyway a few years ago I bought on a whim a Traditions Timber Ridge 50 cal BP gun...

8 year old step son asked me last week if he could shoot my Redhawk in 44 mag sometime. Of course I said SURE. So I picked up some 240gr lead SWC at the gun show last week for cheap. Been loading for almost a year on my LCT but hadn't tried the Lee loader that came with my Redhawk. So I...

I'm getting married here in a couple of weeks. EEK!! I better get to packin up all my stuff. Anyway I"m getting her a Stainless SR40c as a wedding gift and am getting myself a Rock Island Compact in 45. Yes I realize these are not anything special but it's what we both want. There's a...

Been putting this off all summer, and spring, well since last December when I got my kit. Since that time I've done Lots of 9mm and 45. A few 44, 223, 30-30, 380 and some 300 win mag (helping a friend start out). So I generally have an idea of what I"m doing, not an expert though, not by a...

I bought the curved Hornady bullet length gauge so that I could use it in my lever gun and my bolt action gun. I'm also sharing it with a friend as we started loading at about the same time and some of the specialty stuff there's no sense in us owning multiples. Anyway both of us are...

So about 7 years ago I bought a Westernfield 500 12 gauge. Basically a re-branded Mossberg 500. I was told it had extraction problems but I never had them until a few years ago. I looked at the extractors and filed them. This fixed it for a short time and then started the no extraction...

You can find them here http://aliengearholsters.com/. I bought one for my SR9c. The price is pretty good, and they have some intriguing ideas about warranty, replacement etc. When I got it, it looked pretty decent but right away I saw things I didn't like. For one the adjustable holes each...

So I was in a weird mood a few months back and over paid for a Springfield 94 single shot 12 gauge. I think I paid 60 bucks or so for a pretty abused gun. Think I just had to spend money that day. Anyway I cleaned up the rust from the barrel, gave it a quick cleaning and shot 1 round through...

So I'm 6 months into my reloading journey/habit/hobby. What are you guys doing to speed up your 223 reloading? I'm just really starting it and what I already hate is trimming the 500+ casings and then reaming the primer pocket. At least the primer pocket is a one time deal. I probably...

Picked up a 600 JR Mark V off of Facebook this morning for 25 bucks. Came in 12 gauge. One charge bar and one bushing. Some light surface rust on a few parts. No bottles no primer tray. Just from poking around the net it seems like an ok deal. It's had a fair number of rounds through it...

Been gone for work the past two weeks so finally getting to do some loading again. Started out with my first loads for my 30-30. I'm using Sierra 150 grain flat point jacketed rounds and Hornady Lever powder. Doing all of this on my Lee turret with Lee dies. I am also attempting to use the...

So being valentines day and all my girlfriend was sneaky and bought me a .380 die set. I've been using lee pistols dies as that's all I know. I was given a Classic Turret and not knowing anything I've just been buying lee dies. Simple and cheap. More because of the cheap part. Anyway...

Anyone have one they are willing to part with or know where to find one? I want to play around with it. I load pistol with my Lee disk loader. Using Titegroup I have a pretty hole for 9mm but for 45 I want to go just a tad higher. I could do this with a microdisk but lee doesn't make them...
