    Taming the Dillon Shell Plate

    Over the years, there have been quite a few threads/posts about guys having problems with Dillon shell plates jumping during advancement. This results in either powder getting tossed from brass, bullets from bullet feeders getting tipped over, or both. There have been a lot of third-party...

    Finally Got a Bullet Feeder

    My son and I load a lot of 9mm. Multiple thousands each week. We've been hemming and hawing about getting a Mr. Bullet Feeder for years now, but dang, they're pricey. We recently switched to a different style 9mm mold (we cast everything we load for 9mm), and the new bullet *really* likes to...

    PSA: For Owners of Competition Electronics Chronographs

    If you happen to own a Competition Electronics Chronograph, and you end up changing camps... you know, one day you're in the "I'd never shoot my chronograph. How do guys even do that?" camp, and suddenly find yourself in the "Oh. Now I get it" camp, keep the corpse. Competition Electronics has...

    Tip for QC'ing Large Amounts of Pistol Brass

    I apologize if this has already been posted here. A quick look around didn't find it, so here it is... It's one of those forehead slapping moments... "Why didn't I think of that?" This guy shows one of the best tips I've seen for QC'ing large amounts of pistol brass. His little trick has cut...

    RMR 9mm 115gr FMJ's are Back in Stock!

    Ordered mine on Wednesday. Can't wait to get them. Thanks, Jake! I've posted this before, so please forgive the indiscretion, but I just love this bullet. This was 40 shots, 20 through my gun and then 20 through my son's gun at a rate of about 1 shot per second with Jake's bullet. I know...

    RMR 9mm 115gr FMJ blues...

    Got an email from RMR last week, stating that the latest batch of copper they received from their supplier was bad, and it was going to be at least two weeks before they would get in a replacement batch. So for the time being, they can't make their in-house 9mm 115gr FMJ. Right when I run out...

    Dillon Resize Die: Potential setback Issue

    Recently on another forum, a guy mentioned that he had seen setback issues in 9mm rounds loaded with a Dillon resize die and FMJ bullets. He mentioned the problem was specific to FC headstamp brass. I have quite a bit of FC brass in my assorted 9mm collection. I don't sort 9mm by headstamp...

    Lee Classic Turret Press: A Love Sonnet

    Well, not really. I can barely write legible English, let alone a Sonnet (whatever a Sonnet is). But I gotta say, I seriously love the Lee Classic Turret Press. Not too long ago, my wife gave me a small room in the house for my very own reloading room, my first ever. I was no longer...

    Low Dust Dry Media

    So over the years, I've tried just about every popular dry media out there. But inevitably, I've been disappointed by the dust! I want *clean* cases, not cases that look good but are covered with a fine layer of dust. And I seriously dislike the cloud of dust formed when dumping cases into the...

    What's this blue Kool-Aid doing in my cup??

    And how did it get there??? Yeah, it's currently 3:16 a.m. in my time zone, and I'm wide awake. Bad news: I just had spine surgery 14 hours ago. Good news: My Kool-Aid turned blue! Yup, after 35+ years of loading on my trusty old Rockchucker (and occasionally on my Father's Dillon...

    Post Cataract Surgery: Seeing the sights!

    Hey Gents, I was (un)lucky enough to get cataracts at a fairly young age (49). I had surgery on both eyes in May. For those that don't know, having cataract surgery leaves your eyes at a fixed focal length. Most people select distance vision for their fixed focal length, which is what I...
