I am completely and utterly befuddled with some S&B primers that I have been loading. Have been using S&B for several years now and have never had any kind of problem whatsoever. So last week I developed a load for my G42 using primers from an old lot number and HP38 with a 100 grain flat nose...

One of my friends was shooting his G43 and he dropped the mag with a round left in the chamber. He fired at a target and got a jam. It appeared the case head seperated and left a partial piece of brass in the chamber. He then locked back the slide and retrieved a wooden dowel from his bag and...

I have some Bayou 124g TCG coated bullets that I have never used before. I'm trying t develop a load for it but in trying to do the plunk test, I have to get it down to about 1.080 to plunk in my Glock barrel and it still won't drop fully into my case gauge. It will fully case gauge if I get it...

I bought 1000 Tula large pistol primers the first of the year when I placed a big primer order. They were a little cheaper and decided why not. I mainly use Winchester LP for my 10mm and .45acp. I finally broke down and started using them. I have to say they are a pretty primer, not tarnished...

I've been loading a new batch of Xtreme 124g HP and getting very inconsistent oal's. Normally it is 1.120-1.125 or so. This newest box is from 1.120-1.140 and mostly in the 1.138 range. It appears visibly the ogive is different bullet to bullet. Has anyone else loading this bullet noticed a...

Does anyone like this combination? I've located some and am thinking about getting it in anticipation of buying a Glock 30S. Will probably use some 180-230 gr plated bullets. Not looking for hot loads but just for practice.

Been reloading about 3 months on a used Dillon 650 with new carbide sizing die. I have not been using any case lube as I only load 9 & 10mm and was told no lube was necessary. The sizing stroke was always sticky feeling espcecially the upstroke on the handle. So recently I bought some Hornady...

Have read about the lanolin and alcohol mixture. I bought some Hornady One Shot Case Lube but haven't had a chance to use it yet. My question is this: has anyone used a regular spray dry lube? I noticed some while at Home Depot a few days ago. It was the PB brand. Wondering if it would do the...

I've been loading up some 10mm rounds the last few days. I had a can of brass that was my used brass and haven't had any issues with any of that. I bought 500 pieces of used brass from a company online and some of that is unusable. I have picked out some with vertical cracks and smilies. There...

I have some Xtreme 124 gr. HPs and have been told to load them with info from a Speer manual. I don't have one of those yet, only a Lyman #49. Have feed issues and think it may be not enough powder. When using 3.6 grains of Titegroup all three of my Glocks function normallly. When using 3.3...

Been reading with great interest the threads about the plunk test. All my pistols are Glocks and loading on a Dillon 650. I'm very new to reloading and still have questions about OAL for 9MM. The SAAMI spec of 1.169 is good in the Glock chambers. I've been loading 147 Berry RN plated bullets...

I'm loading my very first ammo and getting OAL from 1.115 to 1.121. If I reseat it, it seems to come out right. This is on a Dillon 650. Is this anything to be concerned with? I'm pushing down hard on the handle. Could the sizing die be down too far and hitting the brass on the first stage and...

I've been trying to find some 10mm brass for a while and finally found some used brass from Diamond K Brass. Ordered 500 pieces and during the check process found 57 pieces to be small primer. That sucks. Two days later found new brass six cents cheaper each. Never again.
