    Small or Large Pistol Primer

    For me it's easier to tell them apart once they are deprimed.

    RMR Bullets Packaging

    The way they ship them they are in childproof (post office proof) packages. Not pretty but all that tape makes sure nothing escapes! Wonder how much a month RMR spends on tape? At my old house I used to give my post lady a Starbucks card for Christmas for delivering me all the bullets I used...

    Alright, I think I am ready to try out a progressive press

    Loading 9mm with WSF my RCBS lockout die will generally lock at + or - .5 grains. Nice thing about the lockout die vs a powercop is you don't have to watch it.

    Sorting brass when I noticed this oddity

    I had one separate at the ledge, mid range load, unknown history on the brass. Lucky it wasn't in the a match or something more important. Front half of the case was left in the barrel, gun was unfireable until it was removed. Now I toss any I find in the recycle can. I have plenty of 9mm...

    Quick Question: Easy way to separate SPP & LPP .45 brass?

    I have found it is easier to sort them once they are deprimed. Still a PITA however.

    California's Ammo background check struck down again

    Looks like Judge Benitez ruled against the ammo background check again. https://crpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/24.01.31-Rhode-Decision.pdf Of course the state will appeal and it will be back in the 9th circus. It's been almost 5 years since it was put in place, maybe in another year or...

    What exposes you to more lead?

    I had lead issues a while back. (sky high 85+) I reload. I pretty much traced my lead issue to the indoor range I shot at. Are all indoor ranges bad, no IMO, but a lot of them are lets just say less than ideal. I stopped shooting at the indoor range and after my levels came down, no issues.

    Finally got a wet tumbler

    Yes, the first time you see the water you go yuck, all that was on my brass...... I use auto wash and wax + citric acid. Brass gets what the car is getting, car gets whats on sale. (make sure it is wash and wax not just wash) I get citric acid from amazon...

    Colt CZ to buy Sellier & Bellot / Magtech

    Wonder if they will bring back S+B primers to the US? I used lots of S+B SP when they were on sale from Cabelas for $20/k. (back in the dark ages)

    Borescopes are a 2 edged sword, you may find you were happier NOT knowing what the inside of the barrel looks like;) "Ignorance is bliss" My borescope created a lot of work for me........

    Starting to reload a new cartridge

    No worries, Hornady sent me 2 pawls for free, they arrived this afternoon and a new one is installed and the press is timed and ready to go. (I only needed one but talked Hornady into sending me a spare!) :thumbup: To the lady I spoke to at Hornady CS!

    Case Drying

    Where I am in the summer it is usually around 100 (maybe more) so I just lay them on a towel in the sun to dry. (in the summer in the sun they are almost or are to hot to touch) Since I have plenty of brass in winter I just put them on a towel in the corner of an unused bedroom and let them dry...

    Shooting Indoors or Out

    I used to shoot at an indoor range, turned out it did not have that good of air system. I had heard you should get you blood lead levels checked it you shoot indoors, I did and mine were sky high. (over 70, but I felt fine) I stopped shooting at the indoor range. Some indoor ranges are done...

    Starting to reload a new cartridge

    Hmm, my Lee shell holder seems ok, but maybe try a different brand. (turret press correct, not a progressive?) Lyman 50 lists these shell holders for .380 Lyman #26 Hornady #16 RCBS and Redding #10 Maybe chrono some factory ammo to see what you are getting with it, as most load data uses a...
