    New style Lee expander plug

    Well I ordered some seater plugs right off the Lee site after a quick email with cs to verify, and what was delivered were all stepped seaters. So far it's a nice little improvement and it would seem that they're in normal production now, at least for handgun cartridges.

    Universal sesting die for pistol bullets

    There's a few things you can try to avoid shaving in the seater, which is a problem I've also had. You can run the stem the whole way down and adjust with the die body only. This hopefully gets the bullet well on its way down before the brass goes into the die mouth. I've used the mighty...

    CZ P-01 vs. Shadow 2 Compact

    Is the s2c grip a bit bigger front to back than the P01? A buddy has a shadow 2 ans I felt it was bigger in the grip than my shadow 1. Shadows don't have firing pin blocks. This may or may not be an issue for you. I have CGW pro kits in my shadow and my P01. I was told by them that because of...

    So if you order these from Lee directy, right now, you will get the new style? Or do they need to be specially requested.

    Help with a Smith and Wesson Model 66-2 issue.

    Here's a thought. These "gunbusters" auctions come up frequently on gb. They cut up the frames and sell everything else. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1003399520 Couldn't you grab a set of parts and swap them all over? The internals should be fit together provided nobody screwed up the donor...

    Lee autodrum lack of flare

    It's just that 15 pieces of flair is the minimum...you want to express yourself, don't you? Seriously though I pretty much just set it to contact the shell plate when loading lead and it seems to work out. Except if it's a 'long' case like .357.

    Why does safety location on Beretta 92 make a difference?

    For Shawn Dodson, Several well considered points there. Do you feel that a 'G' model with the spring loaded decocker only would address all your named issues or would you still have preferred a frame safety?

    Stainless pins in the case

    Well for $12 I got a very strong magnet and ran it over the loaded rounds. I had made a dummy with a pin intentionally in it to gauge the magnet, and confirmed my new magnet got a strong response to my dummy - it would roll along an follow the magnet very obviously. I was able to locate one...

    Stainless pins in the case

    It was a bit of an error likely situation. I was using small primer brass that I must've bought or traded for at some point and squirreled away because it was cleaned with pins, which I don't do. I load on a progressive so I didn't explicitly look in each case. The pins were slightly varying...

    Stainless pins in the case

    Just did a batch of .45, 230 LRN mild loads. About halfway through I saw a case that had a stainless pin stuck in it from cleaning (I must've bought some of this brass). Then I was looking for it and noticed a few more, but it's likely I loaded a few before that with a pin or two in the case...

    Midway Finally Raises Minimum Purchase For Free Shipping

    In real terms, they haven't really raised anything. Dollars are worth less. Direct your ire over that as appropriate.

    RCBS lock out die - can't seem to fine tune

    That's pretty much how it is. It will stop a double charge or a no charge, it won't be a powder measure. You might be better off with a powder cop die if you want it to work that way.

    Reasons we find to not buy some firearms, not to include brand

    Good list op. I'll add - plastic triggers. Just no. Also can't stand plastic or cheap / unusable sights. I do make an exception for traditional revolver fixed sights even though they can be borderline unusable. You mentioned 'the lock' but also really any integral lock. Several manufacturers...

    What's behind the Remington primer warning?

    I've used them in 9mm and .40 with standard pressure book loadings and not encountered any signs (flattening, cratering, piercing etc.) that would indicate the primers were not suitable. I also wondered about the reason for the warning and worked them up cautiously but it seems to be a non...
