Update: They All Went BANG!! Just wanted to update you guys on progress..... They all went bang!! I FINALLY got to test my reloads today. SUCCESS!! I was really cautious as all my on line teachers taught me. I only loaded up two rounds at a time. I fired the two rounds then checked the...

Now that I have spent more time with gun folks, its become obvious that a lot people build their collection through the purchase of used and consignment firearms. I was wondering what exactly do you look for when deciding on a purchase? What make one gun better than another in terms of worth...

If nothing else you guys sure are entertaining! I guess I brought it on myself!

I am working with a Lee Pro 1000. It does not sit up as high as some of the other presses. So I have been having trouble finding something that fits good underneath the shout to catch the finished cartridges. Any ideas?

Okay. I have my bench setup and I can definitely tell that over time the pressure (of loading) will have some wear on the top of the bench. So I am have been think about this strong mount that I keep hearing about. So how exactly does it work? Here is what I gathered thus far....rather than...

I finally figured out a way to get my pictures posted to you guys. Here is my bench and setup. I got some adjustments that I am making but here is what it looks like today. Paste the link to your browser. If it ask you for a password use "love01". Enjoy...

After a week (or so) of exchanging emails with one of the guys from the IDPA forum (Lenny), tonight I loaded up my first 15 rounds. Over the last few days, Lenny helped me (via email) get my Lee Pro 1000 setup and running. Earlier this week I conquered a decapping die that was giving me some...

Thanks....I am going to grab one tonight.

I have been on Ebay and I have noticed as few people selling these universal decapping dies. Anybody have any experience with them?

First Time Setting Up My Reloading Station (update) Looks like eveyone had the same answer and I noticed the locknut is about half way down the top of pin (not flush with the top) but when I try to loosen the locknut it won't budge. I think I am going to have to find a vice grip to hold it and...

Thanks. Recenly I started shooting IDPA and fell in love with it. This is my first experience participating in any of the shooting sports :what: So there was a need to shoot more for practice as well as have rounds available for matches. So someone mentioned reloading. Next thing I knew, I was...

I was planning to a basic reloading class Today but a winter storm came through and blasted us here on the East coast. So instead of going to bed like a normal person I started tinkering with my Lee 1000 last night. I think I have the all of the dies set up correctly (using the video's on...

For months now I have been intending to put a letter to the NRA to share my opinions that I am SURE they are interested in. Until I get the chance to do that, I'll just bore you guys. Its tough (in my opinion) to be pro-gun at least for me. I say that because often times those politicians that...

My local range sponsors IDPA matches. I am interested in getting involved as a competitor. I was wondering if I could get some recommendations as far as a good IDPA beginner's gun. I am working on a budget. So I want to get the best for money. I have been told that my current guns would not be...

Recently I purchased a Taurus 940 which ended up needing to be sent out for repair becuase of a faulty transfer bar. I expect to have that back soon and then I am going to be looking pick up a Springfield .40. As a relatively new shooter, I was wondering what is the proper way to test a brand...

Maybe Taurus doesn't doesn't suck ....so bad Thanks for all the replies. I am definitely inexperience (hence my reason for joining this group). Just a little frustrating to get my pennies together and get a firearm that I really wanted only to have to send it out for repair so soon. Sounds like...
