    Hornady 1911 Primer tube filler jams

    They are jamming at the point in the tray where they drop into the tube.

    Hornady 1911 Primer tube filler jams

    I got it today and it jams constantly. I managed to get 2 primers in the tube and the next one flipped over and got stuck in the tray. Took the tray off, slide the cover back, cleared it, reassembled, jam. Rinse and repeat 8 times. What's the deal? These are Winchester SPP.

    Book recommendations for a kid

    My buddy's son is having his bar mitzva in March. He is really into WWI and WWII rifles - loves to shoot mine. He's also a walking encyclopedia and loves to get into the minutia of a given weapon. I was thinking about getting him some books one different rifles. Any recommendations for books...

    .45 ACP Aguila brass issues

    I figured it out. I had a powder through expander in powder die. Still not sure why the seater die isn't returning the cases to normal, but for now, it's working fine without the expansion.

    .45 ACP Aguila brass issues

    Not so much a crimp as removing the flare. The chamfering was just a test and it made them feed.

    .45 ACP Aguila brass issues

    Yup, they are .001-.002 longer. Just trimmed a few, ran them through the press and they dropped right in the chamber. I must have set up the die with a shorter case. Since this is just range ammo, should I reset the die with the longer case or trim all those cases?

    .45 ACP Aguila brass issues

    I don't think I'm putting a lot of flare on the mouth. It didn't cause issue before. I'll have to check if there is more resistance when sizing the different brands.

    .45 ACP Aguila brass issues

    I decided to load up some .45 ACP today. I used the same dies, set up the same way they were from my last session. I ran through 150 rounds or so of a mixture of brass from Winchester, Federal, Aguila, and a couple others. I'm using the same bullets I've been using. Grabbed three random...

    Hornady Shellplate holder

    What do you do for the calibers that use the same plate as another?

    Hornady Shellplate holder

    Mine was the prototype. They take 13 hours to print, so it's pretty safe to assume he didn't build a huge inventory.

    Hornady Shellplate holder

    I think it's a weight factor. Unless you are screwing them into a stud, they will probably pull out of the wall overtime with more weight.

    Hornady Shellplate holder

    In the spirit of continually improving my reloading room, I decided I needed a better way to store shell plates than stacking them on a Gladiator Garageworks hook. I found a guy on eBay who sold holders for various presses, except Hornady. I contacted him and he said he couldn't get a hold of...

    My 5 y/o son's first 10 rounds

    At 25, he can see the holes just fine. I have a little more difficulty, but eagle eyes could probably read the target at 50m. With my range, 8 yards would require him to shoot at too steep of a down angle.

    Tell me why I don't want a 1928 Thompson

    Mine probably isn't a fan, especially after I got hit by the drunk while riding one. Still recovering from it, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't kick over the 67 while there was an external fixater holding my right foot together. Thought about riding it (right hand shift), but realized my...

    Tell me why I don't want a 1928 Thompson

    With a 67 Triumph Bonneville, 72 BMW R75/5, 04 Triumph Bonneville, 05 Triumph Thruxton, and 18 BMW K1600 GTL, my wife would probably believe I don't need more guns or motorcycles. I disagree. I need the Commando and I probably should get a BMW R90S.

    My 5 y/o son's first 10 rounds

    It's a Savage Rascal. Had to special order it from Academy - he wanted a blue stock.

    My 5 y/o son's first 10 rounds

    He managed to shoot about 30 rounds before deciding he'd had enough. That's a pretty good amount of concentration time for him. He will play with Legos for hours, but not so much with anything else. His main complaint was that the range was too far from the house. He wants me to build one...

    Rossi 92s - Any problems with the reintroduced rifles?

    There's a Rossi R92 forum that has a treasure trove of information. I have 4 of them. After a little work, they run smoothly and the cases drop at my feet. I'm not a gunsmith by any stretch.

    My 5 y/o son's first 10 rounds

    We decided to buy our son a .22 for his 6th birthday coming this July. A buddy asked if he could bring his boys over to shoot this weekend. Not wanting mine to feel left out, we gave him his present early. Up to this point, he's only shot a Nerf gun. We rested the stock on a sandbag and got...

    Tell me why I don't want a 1928 Thompson

    I'm not planning on humping it on the battlefield. To me, the weight is a feature when pumping out 230gr bullets. I looked at the M1s, but yeah, missing the whole panache thing. Pipe dream anyway. Congress pretty much is a hard no on it. Maybe I can get her to green light a 74 Norton Commando.
