I've loaded bunches of 9mm with Blue Dot and SRP's. I agree, they shoot great, but I stayed on the high side of the load weight due to getting better burn of the powder. I have found Blue Dot to work very well in any high pressure cartridge. I've shot thousands upon thousands in 357. My only...

The only time I've had problems with my RL550B was when I didn't take time to clean the primer feed. Take 15 minutes to take it apart, wipe all parts clean, reassemble and it works great. I've loaded tens of thousands without issue. A year ago I started wet tumbling with my homemade tumbler and...

I like CFEPistol for both 9mm and 38spcl. I found max charge as listed on the Hodgdon site in both to be best. In 9mm accuracy was best at max and in 38spcl it was needed for complete powder burn and accuracy. I prefer RMR 124gr RN FMJ for the 9 and MBC Cowboy #17 Hi-tek for the 38.

Velocity. I've got one and love it. I chose the 3 lb and it is sweet. http://velocitytriggers.com/index.php

This is my way, your mileage may vary. I decap on a single stage. Wet tumble, with detergent, Lemishine and SS pins. Dry. Full length size on a single stage. Trim to length. Tumble in dry media to remove lube (ballistol for resizing). I then drop powder, seat bullet, crimp (yes, I crimp)...

Your biggest concern with this revolver is its weight. I've found lighter bullets have less recoil and are much more enjoyable to shoot. When I was shooting 158 grain bullets out of my 642, even loaded light with 231 I would get pain in the palm of my hand after 20-30 rounds, but with the...

I was wondering where y'all get your corn cob tumbling media from. This past summer I finished my homemade wet tumbler and am currently using Zilla lizard litter (crushed walnut) for polishing, but if corn cob works better, then I would like to try some. The brass looks dog gone good after it...

I like MBC's 125 gr RNFP hi tek coated in mine (Cowboy #17). Recoil is not too bad, but with that featherweight revolver, I've not found anything I can just bang away with all day long. I normally use CFE-Pistol, but Hodgdon has 231 starting at 3.8 grains, so I would start there. If you could...

I've got a couple of powders in pistol that I load at max because I get better burn of the powder and better accuracy. I've also got some I load at minimum and they work great.

The spacer bar is held in place with a white dowel pin. If pin is not in place, the spacer bar will move and definitely cause leaks.

A couple of weeks ago I had a similar experience with 45 auto in a SR45. I had some plain lead 230 gr lrn from MBC that I never got around to loading and decided to try some Green Dot and Unique under them. The powders were a gift and I decided it was time to play. I found the plain lead...

I currently load 38 special for about $.12 a piece or $12 per hundred. I buy everything in bulk, so this keeps costs down quite a bit. This price also includes shipping. I'll normally purchase 5K primers and one or two 8 pounders of powder and the cost of shipping is spread so thin, the...

Works every time with Chrome.

The site works great. Lots of powder to choose from, so shop away!

I've got a keg of Blue Dot and Green Dot, both over 30 years old and it shoots fine. Just check and make sure loads are the same today as when powder was made, as some powders do change over the decades.

The only caliber to give me problems is 38 special. Big case, small powder drops and throw in a powder that does not meter well with small drops and you can get problems. I had visually checked all 50 cases in the tray for powder, all had powder and looked the same, but one was a little light...

I stick with round nose profiles. I have never had a feed issue with this profile. Now, my XDS will eat SWC's all day long with no problem. I've tried shorter, longer and nothing helps for the SR45. There is something about the feed angle that causes the nose of the bullet to jam in the top...

They also don't like SWC's, at least mine doesn't.

CFE Pistol has worked well for me in 38 special. I actually think it is a hair more accurate, but I'm no marksman, just off hand shooting. I plan on loading many, many more if you get my drift. I will not ever try Autocomp in 38 special again. I found it to be very position sensitive. I...

I'll go 4-5 months and never touch my press. Then, I'll see a bullet or powder I haven't tried and the bug hits again. I got to develop a load for that one. I have hundreds of pages of notes on different recipes. Almost all my shooting takes place during cooler weather. My job won't allow me...
