    the order was placed in late march for 124gr 9mm fmj projectiles... i know the website doesnt make any promises, but apparently patience pays off.

    The hazards of buying from Rocky Mountain Reloading

    My mail lady is getting a card and a gift this year.. i've had several 69.99 pound packages delivered & she always comes to the door & asks if I have a handcart.. (I just carry them in).. Mom used to be an "alternate" mail carrier on a rural route - the regular carrier used to always take...

    Concerns about reloading for a .40 Glock

    One more thing to consider - most of the reports of kabooms I've seen involved 180 grain projectiles. If you like the lighter ones, they're also usually cheaper.. if the nose profile is the same for two projectiles, the lighter one will be shorter - giving you just a skitch more case volume at...

    Loadmaster users, question.

    No, I didn't do any mods - not trying to be a wet towel here, but the original question was if the redesigned parts worked better than the old parts - my answer, based on my experience so far, is that they don't. Not bashing Lee, except to the extent that the redesigned part still needs work...

    Loadmaster users, question.

    Universal decapping die in station 1, lee sizing die with decapper pin pulled in station two, powder in station 3, bullet seating in station 4, and taper crimp (not factory crimp) in station 5. My primer setups are gen 3, as pictured.. and they suck.

    Loadmaster users, question.

    I've got a couple loadmasters of recent vintage (march/april build dates).. not sure what was "fixed", but out of 100 rounds of 9mm, I got half-a-dozen sideways/crunched primers.. didnt feel like cussing at the primer setup, so I'm resizing & priming on a single stage & just using the...

    Seriously??? Powder valley has been getting stock in on a regular basis for months - it isnt their fault it sells out.

    Where are reloading components available (Not a Discussion Thread)

    I think if you're loading rifle rounds, where you need over a pound for 1k of projectiles, 8# jugs are the way to go - but in pistol calibers, where you might get 1500 rounds/pound, the little jugs are just fine.. $2 "extra" per 1,000 rounds isn't a big penalty for using the little jugs...

    Where are reloading components available (Not a Discussion Thread)

    I like ordering powder in 1# containers - if you read up on fire issues, 1# containers are less likely to start a fire. (They will melt down, but generally don't self ignite). Also, it makes it harder to accidently contaminate a huge jug of powder - if you accidently dump your dispenser of 231...

    loadmaster, .40 caliber cases "tipping" out of case feeder

    I've got a couple of loadmasters, they work fine for .38, .45 & 9mm, but when I'm running .40, the cases have started "tipping over" as they come out of the case feeder.. I ran probably at least 1500 through previously with only an occasional tipped case, but now it seems to be a chronic...

    Why a hazmat fee?

    I think if you're looking for hidden profits, the regular shipping charges are where the money is (if a business is taking advantage).. a few years back, I had occasion to work in a 3rd-party warehouse that shipped GM parts to dealers.. I believe the deal was (with ups anyway), any package that...

    Finally decided to start reloading 9MM. A couple of Q's for ya'all.

    4.8 of wsf is a nice practice load - 4.3 of 231 seems to shoot soft & accurate in my guns as well. I've been running a 1.15 col with plated rn 124gr berrys.. the light 231 load seems to leave the cases "sooty".. i made a few rounds up with 5.7 of unique, which shot the tightest groups for...

    Where's all the Win 231?

    Got hp-38 from both Gamaliel & Powder valley in the last month. Many winchester powders have been coming in stock at the local Cabelas as well, usually on Fridays..

    Anyone have experience with WSF powder?

    Its my favorite powder for 9mm and 40 so far.. mid-range loads shoot softer & more accurately than factory ammo..

    @shinbone The seller will adjust your invoice, you wont need to pay the fedex/ups man anything, but you may need to be there to sign for the package.. it depends on who you bought from..

    I am FURIOUS at Powder Valley.

    Cabelas oversold cci primers a few times in the past couple of months, then cancelled the orders. They cancelled backorders of .223, then posted it for sale on the website at a higher price.
