I have been using the APS bench mount priming tool when priming larger batches due to my arthritis. Today I primed about 400 9mm cases and then the primer plug came out of alignment. I took the top cap off removed the plug put the top cap back on reseated the plug with the handle down and it...

Oh wise ones, I have an issue I cannot seem to resolve. To level set I switched from a SS to the LnL AP about two years ago and absolutely love it. However when I load 9mm powder flies out of the case when indexing. I followed the video to adjust my pawls (great video) and even did it using 357...

EMP 40 Custom & my Dan Wesson ECO bother are nail drivers"

I picked up a Windicator a couple of months ago at a local shop for $240.00 out the door. I also own a 1968 Ruger 357. I was searching the forum for threads on the Windicator and was shocked by all the negative comments. What really blew me away was most of the folks commenting didn't own a...

I broke down and bought the L. E Wilson max cartridge gauge for 40sw. I resize using the the Redding dual ring sizer die and crimp using the Lee FCD. I decided to check 50 rounds of ammo I made a couple of weeks ago using the new Wilson gauge. 15 out of the first 20 I tried failed to fully seat...

Ever since I ran out of 2400 I have been using 4227 for my 357 mag loads. I actually like the powder and had no issues with metering. My question is why does it stink so bad. The guy next to me at the range kept looking at me funny:eek:

OK has this happened to anyone else. I live in Northern IL and left my range bag in the trunk all morning. I went to the range that afternoon and was loading 357 mag cartridges into the cylinder and they wouldn't seat flush. About 1/2 of the 50 I tried to load in the cylinder sat up about 1/8 of...

I used to love the fact that I could go to the old Hodgon data center and print out by caliber all the different powders, reloading data and bulett types for a particular caliber. I would print, three hole punch and place in a binder with tabs for each caliber. I now load additional calibers...

I am down to about a 1/2 pound of Alliant 2400 and can't find it anywhere! Has anyone used IMR 4227? If so how does it compare? I am using it for 357 mag loads only. Your input as always is appreciated! Thanks

I love my LnL AP but after reloading 5k rounds or so I decided to size, bell and de-cap in a separate step. I first clean all my brass then on the AP I de-cap size and bell. I then store the cases in a appropriately labeled bin. When I am ready to load I set my dies in the following manner...

I started reloading pistol a little over a year ago. Thanks to all of you it has been a fantastic hobby and allows me to shoot more often. I de-cap and size in a separate step but I do every thing else on my LnL AP. Based on input from the forum my last step is to crimp using the Lee Factory...

I am looking for a little help on my LnL AP. I bought last year and have loaded thousands of rounds on it. About 2 weeks ago the shell plate started sticking. I'll pull the handle it will cycle to the next station then randomly the shell plate will jump a 1/4 inch or so. It doesn't happen all...

Ok........I Need Help! I was layed off for 5 weeks and loaded 4k rounds of 40 and 4k rounds of 9mm. I cleaned de-capped, sized and primed another 2k of each! I am out of cases and believe I am going through withdrawals! I walk to my bench and just stare at it longingly! Should I start an RA...

I loaded up some 155gr Montana Gold 40 S&W rounds this weekend that I have had sitting around for over a year. I did 2 batches of 50 rounds just to check them out. The first batch was loaded with 5.5 Titegroup seated at 1.125 and the second batch was loaded with IMR7625 at 6.6 again at 1.125. My...

We'll after 7k reloads I had what I think was my 1st squib today in my EMP 40. The problem I have is my neighbor was firing my pistol when it happened. He loaded 5 of my reloads in the mag and fired 3 when he had an FTF. He cleared the round but the gun wouldn't chamber the next round. He handed...

All, I checked my Speer manual and the Hodgen website and can't find any load data for 124gr using Longshot powder. I found recipes for 115gr but nothing on 124gr. I have 4lbs of Longshot and little of my other powders. As always your help is appreciated!

I am loading 9mm using Tite group powder. I down loaded the load data from the Hodgen site but there is no info on Berry's 115gr plated RN. Do I use the load data for 115gr LRN?

All, my bride has an STI Escort that is starting to show some wear on the slide. It's only 3 years old but while teaching her how to break it down it suffered more than a couple of scratches. The rest of the finish is just worn from shooting. I honestly don't think it was a quality finish from...

I don't use a set limit today but toss any defects I find after cleaning. I have been reloading for years but just started Loading 40's in Feb. of this year. Your advice would be appreciated. Thanks

All I just completed 2k rounds on my now 3 month old LnL AP. I have been reloading on a Rock Crusher for 3 years and finaly bit the bullet so to speak and bought the LnL. It took some time to dial it in for both 40's and 9's but I have to say it rocks. I had some issues early on with the priming...
