    How often do you polish pistol brass?

    Every time with ss media. Easier to find in the grass if they are shiny to start.

    A few things learned

    It was brought up about tapping the Lee Perfect Measure at each end of the handle throw to get better accuracy. This does work and it is sometimes as much as .5 grains more than just doing the throw. 2nd thing I noticed today is that the powder housing will tend to close off as you are using...

    Trouble resizing 460 brass

    Wish I could be of help, but sounds like a maladjustment. I use all Lee products and my .460 dies work just fine as do all the other dies/sizes.

    250 grain RNFP for .45ACP ?

    The word must already be out, because I just picked up 160, 180, 200, and 250gr for my Colt/ACP. Should be good for a week or two! :D

    .45 ACP lg primer issue

    Loading up some more case and have some Speer nickle plated in standard and +P markings. About one in 6 primers did not want to seat fully and/or would pop while seating and a small sliver of brass would be in the priming tool. Using a Lee Turret Press in single stage mode (removed the...

    .454 Casull loadings

    .454 Casull Swift A Frame 325gr hollow point. Swift Data shows IMR-4227 starting at 27.9gr and maximum at 30gr. I started at 28gr and maxed at 29.8gr. The cases were awful full and I'm pretty sure they were compressed even at start load. The Lee press didn't struggle to load them...

    .45 ACP range results

    I have some W231 as well. Have a couple more steps up for the 700-X. Going to do 2 of the Clays and 2 of the 700-X again after I shoot the hotter 700-X loads. I wanted to start out lighter than factory and work my way past it some which is what the 2 powders did for me. Seems like mid range...

    .45 ACP range results

    Loaded some Clays and 700-X behind some 230gr LRN and finally got to run it through the Ruger SR1911. Several things noticed: 700-X is smokier than Clays 700-X is noticably snappier than Clays My best groups were with Clays 3.8gr, 700-X 4.6gr and 4.8gr. Clays very mild and quite...

    Mosin Nagant

    Have a hex Mosin and removed the rear sight down to the dovetail. Found some rings for mounting a scout scope and the thing is an absolute TACK DRIVER for about 5-10 shots. Then the scope has been pounded forward by the recoil. Reset it twice and both times would slide forward after a few shots...

    45 ACP Action Pistol: 700X or Clays?

    I haven't shot my loads, yet, but used Clays And 700-X. Gave me a spread from about 700-900 fps with 230gr LRN. Waiting on the rain to try in my Ruger 1911.

    IMR and H

    Is IMR4198 the same as H4198 as far as load data goes? How about IMR4895 vs H4895?

    Powder Measuring

    Talked to LEE on the phone and they said 700-X and other flake powders will be inconsistant. It doesn't measure well. Ball powder the best, then extruded, flake last. Agree that if need total accuracy then need to trickle to every load. I too stay away from MAX only because the lower loads so...

    .45 ACP loading

    No, it was for LeadRoundNose. I compared it to factory rounds that feed well in my Ruger 1911 and split the difference.

    Powder Measuring

    I have the Lee Perfect Powder Measure, Lee Auto Disk (which I've yet to use), and just bought a Lee Dipper set. I use the Lee Safety Magnetic Powder Scale and an Frankford Arsenal DS-750 electronic scale. Here's the thing. While measuring up some 700-X to 4.7gr the ever so minuscule...

    .222 Rem VS .223 Rem

    The simple fact that the .223 is so much more popular would be the deciding factor for me. If you need better than one ragged hole at 100 yards, then maybe a mortar? My Mini14, AR15, and CZ Bolt all shoot anything I put in them and all are way more accurate than me. And there is a much...

    .45 ACP loading

    It's the LEE FCD. The thing was I always start new loads off with the seater die and crimp die cranked way out and then bring them into line. The Hodgdon Manual had the OAL at 1.2", But the generic picture for .45 is 1.275". I measured a factory round and it was 1.24", so I split the difference...
