    That definitely helps. Thanks

    Hollow base vs Flat base

    I'm using Berry's RN with a flat base.

    Hollow base vs Flat base

    Another newbie question. All of the load data I see is for Berry's HBRN. Would the data be the same for flat base bullets?

    Brass sticking after rotary tumbling

    I use Hornady One Shot case lube even though I do have the carbide dies. It's not necessary but makes the resizing much smoother.

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    I'm still pretty new at reloading but I really like the Lee Turret Press. Of course I have nothing to compare it to but it is very easy to set up and use. Loading mostly 9mm but doing some 45ACP and 38SPL also.

    Hello, I'm a fairly new member and a 66 year old Navy veteran. Joined a few weeks ago because I had some reloading questions. Got some great responses and advice. Thanks to all who helped out. Mostly a handgun guy. I'm a concealed carrier and like to shoot GSSF, USPSA and Steel challenge...

    9mm 124gr fail-to-feed

    Good info. I've been shooting Glocks only since January of 2015. I think I limp wristed a couple when I first started but learned that lesson pretty quick. No problems with that since.

    9mm 124gr fail-to-feed

    I set up for 1.150 but most came out around 1.148

    9mm 124gr fail-to-feed

    I'm pretty new at this and haven't looked at POI/POA yet. If my next loads are reliable then I'll probably start looking at accuracy.

    9mm 124gr fail-to-feed

    around 1.148 to 1.150. Very happy with the results. Now going to try the same on another batch with hopefully the same results. I think I'll go out and buy a chronometer first though. Should I have one?

    9mm 124gr fail-to-feed

    I think this problem is solved. I loaded 50 rounds with 4.0gr Titegroup and zero FTF's.

    45ACP and Lee Factory Crimp Die

    Thanks again everyone for the info. My bullets are jacketed round nose 230gr. I may have measured wrong when I came up with the .448. Anyway, what I have found is that if I don't use the FCD the rounds will not pass muster with the Lyman gauge. Thanks lordpaxman I'll definitely be checking...

    45ACP and Lee Factory Crimp Die

    I've been loading 9mm for a while and am working out some issues with Fail-to-Feed thanks to the great advice I'm getting here. I'm also using a Lee set to load 45ACP. When I load 9mm the round goes in and comes out of the Factory Crimp Die with minimal effort. When I load 45ACP though, the...

    9mm 124gr fail-to-feed

    Thank you, stillquietvoice. I'm glad I finally checked in here. Got some great advice in just a short period of time.

    9mm 124gr fail-to-feed

    BTW. Plunk test in barrel and marked up with black marker. All seems fine.

    9mm 124gr fail-to-feed

    Thank you all for the great advice. I'm only using Titegroup because it is what the shop suggested when I bought the Lee Turret Press. I've used HS-6 also and will probably not use Titegroup again once it's finished. I had been wondering if the powder charge was a little light so I think I'll...

    9mm 124gr fail-to-feed

    Thanks for the advice. Yes, they are Berry's RN. I should have mentioned that I've loaded a few batches like this before with no problems. Just this one batch (so far) seems to have an issue. I'm pretty sure the bullets are .356 and I did measure the brass on the finished rounds and they are...

    9mm 124gr fail-to-feed

    I'm a new reloader looking for a little advice. I have some 124gr plated loaded with 3.6gr of Titegroup. According to Lee the min OAL is 1.150 and mine average around 1.155. Had several fail-to-feed issues in both a G19 and a G17. I tightened up the crimp and I think that helped a lot but...
