    Lee Loadmaster feedback

    Reloading - It's all good!! Boho, I hope you'll keep us updated with your recent purchase. At $750, I bet you bought it right off Dillon's website. I recently saw a guy with a used 650 Dillon for sale with a couple of caliber conversions for $1,350!! Maybe he had more accessories than you...

    Plated bullets

    I use Rainier and Berry's 230 gr plated bullets and like them a lot. Probably doesn't do you any good, but I use 4.1 grains of IMR 700X. I want to try some Longshot with these plated bullets too, but I am unable to find any!! And the LGS seem to be able to keep 700X on the shelf pretty regular...

    Reloading Therapy

    Reloading + Shooting = Happiness I also find reloading very therapeutic! I always feel better and get a lot of satisfaction after a reloading session. And the same goes for a time spent out at the range!! It's nice that they go together so well. :)

    Anyone ever used this head stamp?

    Now I Know!! I just picked up 50 rounds of brass at the range Monday that had the "HRTRS" head-stamp on it too. I wondered about who made it and where it came from. Thanks to you guys, now I know!!! :D

    Time For Press Upgrade, Looking For Suggestions

    Load-Master Low-Down part 3 Thank you everyone for the wonderful posts!! Yes Greyling, I tried the piece of tape trick. I used masking tape and it did tighten the primer assembly up. And I put a little oil on the o-ring your talking about too. I found many suggestions on the internet, but none...

    Time For Press Upgrade, Looking For Suggestions

    Load-Master Low-Down part 2 Well, I ordered a brand new Load-Master, and after it arrived I opened the box and studied the instructions. I mounted it to the bench and went on-line to loadmastervideo's and watched several pretty helpful video's and got the dies all set and primer depth adjusted...

    Time For Press Upgrade, Looking For Suggestions

    Load-Master Low-Down I hope you don't mind if I throw my 2 cents in here. I reloaded with the Lee Classic "whack-it-with-a-plastic-hammer" Loader for years. I bought my first pistol last spring and found out I go through a lot more rounds with a pistol!! I've never even had a powder measure...

    Enjoying my new press

    I know what you're talking about - I reload .45 acp and went from the Lee Classic "whack-it-with-a-plastic-hammer" Loader to a Lee Load-Master!! I got it about a month or so ago on sale from Midway. I haven't got the case feeder or bullet feeder going yet, but it's so much faster!! I had used...

    Gun Show in Belle Fourche, SD Fighting City

    Not in MY state!! Are you sure your in South Dakota, western South Dakota?? That honestly kinda scares the hell out of me! Why in the world would the city care if there is a gun show?? Guns are everywhere in this state. Pay your $10 and pass the background check and you got a pistol permit. I...

    What was/is your first carry gun

    I might get boo's and hisses - but - My first carry gun was a little Jimenez JA-25. Put it in a pocket holster and carried it right in my pocket. Have an office job so no coat or anything to use for cover. And it is small enough that it's not uncomfortable to sit at my desk all day while...

    Best States For Concealed Carry (Guns & Ammo Article)

    In South Dakota, you go to the sheriff's office and they do a NICS background check on you. If you pass, you pay $10 and fill out a "temporary" permit. Then, a couple weeks later, a spiffy laminated permit shows up in the mail that you can put in your wallet. All 3 of my daughters and my wife...

    Jesse James Firearms

    I think just the fact that his name is Jesse James helped to get him a lot further than anything. If his name was Poindexter Snodgrass... Would anybody care about this guy??:confused:

    Is it useful to send the NRA-ILA any more money?

    I guess I would agree with most of you. We are all a LOT better off because of the NRA AND the ILA. I kind of made fun of the way they are always asking for money in an earlier post, but in reality, we should probably all join the NRA because they are doing a lot of the work to keep us informed...

    I just bought one of my never buy guns

    Hi-Point I never did understand why some folks dislike Hi-Points so much - especially if they have never owned or shot one. The first pistol I ever bought was a JHP .45 pistol. I've never had a problem with it (except for some of my own reloads!!) and still have it. It was a very inexpensive...

    Is it useful to send the NRA-ILA any more money?

    just like JB357MAG said, I joined the NRA and soon after, they're asking for more money. I guess there's only 2 things that really bother me about it. One is: You get this envelope from the NRA. I open it. Usually in huge bold capitol letter is something like - YOUR RIGHTS ARE BEING TAKEN...
