Blue 68f100: I didn't think I could size one like that either. . . .wierd. I had about 8 out of the last 20 look like that. I guess these are throw aways now. The Redding Die is marked FS, but I do have the one marked NS. I will try some Imperial. Troy: Hydrolysing? As in too much lube? I did...

I am getting a bulge at on the shoulder of my 7mm Rem Mag cartridges after I full length resize them. I am using Redding dies. Some bulge some don't. I am using Hornady one shot lube. Is anyone having this issue or am I reloading cheap brass? I just bought 100 Norma brass which has been...

I have several pieces of brass the I have put slightly too much mouth bell on while adjusting my dies. I hate to waste good brass, but the bell is too large to fit into my 45 ACP sizing die. Does anyone have any suggestions about how I might resize the brass bell without ruining the case, or...

I carried your brother in Vietnam. . . the M14. I have a Springfield M1A now that is in the gunsmith shop getting new cerracote on the fiberglass stock. I have the origional wood stook too. They are great shooters. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. Mine is a range rider not a safe...

I have a West German SIG P220 with a match barrel. When I have reloaded the .45 brass I sometimes get misfeeds if the brass is not sized just perfectly (my SIG is temperamental). I bought the Lee Bulge Buster and this solved the problem perfectly. When I was at the range on Monday NO misfeeds.

Thank you all for your help. I am going to stick to what my Hornady manual recommends. Don't want to blow myself up.

Thank You very much. I was not aware of this!

I just purchased a box of Hornday FTX 45 cal. .452 225 grain bullets. I have cut down some cases. I would like to reload some ammunition similar to the way that Hornady loads. I have a Marlin 1894 Cowboy and a original Ruger Vaquero with the large frame both in 45 Colt. I have the most recent...

I should have asked around before I ordered but I just purchased the Super Crown Crimper from Ballistic Products with some overshot cards to improve my crimps on my MEC reloader. Have any of you had experience with this crimper or using overshot cards? Any advise on using the crimper?

Competetive shooting Thank you all for the information and encouragement. Once again I believe it is human error. I wondered if it might be my trigger pull. I do use the tip of my finger. I am looking into a little lighter hammer spring...one that will allow me to carry, but make the trigger...

My gunsmith and I have been shooting off of bench rests to determine if it is the Sig or if it is us. I have always been able to shoot it very accurately until the last year or two. I believe it is the human factor and I am trying to eliminate that concern.

I have been asked to shoot on a team of my American Legion friends. We must shoot five rounds at three different distances in quick succession. I have a mid-seventies Sig Sauer P220 which I purchased after Vietnam. It has always served me well, when I qualified for the Division of Wildlife. With...

GBExpat, O.K. so I have purchased ArmorAll Wash&Wax . I have a Tumbler. How much do you use in a gallon of water to get the brass clean?

ArtofGolf, "I'd also suggest that you check-out RMR, as they offer THR members a 5% discount". I emailed RMR and asked how to get the 5% discount. They said to check with others on the forum to find out how to get the discount. Do you know how to get the discount from RMR?

Thank you all Thanks everyone for the posts. I don't think I am too far off base the way I am currently doing things. I see no need to ream primer pockets if I can seat the primer flush with the case bottom. The second wet bath may be overkill, however I don't think it will harm the brass and...

Primer Pocket reaming Slamfire, Thanks for the explanation about pocket depth. While I have more than one caliber, my go to long range rifle is a Browning .243 Gold Medallion. I can achieve 5 shot groups, when I shoot, tearing holes that touch each other at 100 yards. Occasionally I have an...

I was reading in a recent magazine about reloading accuracy. I have a tumbler and generally clean my shells, then neck resize, and remove primer. I then put the shells back in the tumbler to make certain the primer pocket is clean. I usually trim the brass to the correct length. I use...
