    Ooops...got 6 1/2 rem primers for .223

    Thanks for the commendation. After years of fixing my own vehicles and tons of DIY work on my old house, I'm always leery of accepting the first piece of advice offered to me on the Internet. I like to wait and see if others agree or jump all over the advice with criticism. Also, my wife's...

    Ooops...got 6 1/2 rem primers for .223

    Any "service class" 9mmx19 pistol should be able to set off the Rem 6 1/2 primers, suggest repurposing them for that. I probably shoot more rounds of 9mm through my Beretta 92FS than anything else I have. I imagine that'll do. I nearly have everything I need to start re-loading 9mm. So...

    Ooops...got 6 1/2 rem primers for .223

    Before making any final decisions for what to do with the primers, I'll check with my Uncle and see if he's got anything in 22 hornet he'll want to sell. He's got damn near everything under the sun. And if I can use them with a handgun load then I'll definitely keep them. As for the .223...

    Ooops...got 6 1/2 rem primers for .223

    It would be much cheaper & easier to replace the AR-15 bolt & FP, then it would be to replace the Model 700 bolt & FP. Good point, but I do wonder about the ability to cycle the action. Do you load any low-pressure handgun rounds? I use these primers in .38SPL with excellent results. I...

    Ooops...got 6 1/2 rem primers for .223

    Alright, I'm new to reloading and have been taking everything very slowly as I learn. In fact, I got everything I needed to load .223 a few weeks ago but held off until I did more reading/learning. Well, I finally got started last night and got to the point where I had seated 40 primers in the...

    Carbide dies - which individual dies are actually (or need to be) carbide

    Thanks for the info, that'll save me a good chunk of change. I saw a few dies from incomplete sets (1 die out of 3 or 4 originally included) online and in a local store that are listed as carbide even though they are expander or crimper dies. I suspected that they were just steel dies from...

    Carbide dies - which individual dies are actually (or need to be) carbide

    FYI, I am a newbie to reloading and, yes, I do have a reloading manual. I just picked up an incomplete set of RCBS dies for cheap in 9mm luger. It came with a carbide FL resizer and a steel seater, taper/crimper die. I still need an expander and I may possibly get a seperate taper/crimper to...
