    Giving away my reloaded ammo

    ** Good decision. Now give him the Dillon Precision telephone number (480) 948-8009 for specific questions and guidance after reviewing this link to the Dillon Videos Library: https://www.dillonprecision.com/videos.html ** The Sierra Bullet Tech Team are another awesome source of help at...

    Giving away my reloaded ammo

    ** IMPORTANT ** Cartridges which work fine in your gun(s) may not work fine in other guns, and can even be dangerous. Name brand manufactured ammo is compromised so that it will be safe and functional in all known weapons which use that cartridge. It will not likely be the best performing in...

    Unique powder question for 45acp

    + 1 to Blaster and Brian Enos +1 to everything Blaster3094 said I normally run 6.0 grains of Unique behind a Montana Gold 230 gr FMJ at an OAL of 1.234" out of my H&K USP Compact 45 with a 3.8" barrel, at an average of 845 fps, with Winchester cases and primers. With all the care and...

    Unique powder question for 45acp

    Unique is alot cleaner than it used to be. At least some of theses reports of excessive dirtiness may be attributable to the use of an older batch. Another issue (like another poster said) could be with loading it too light powder-wise. Unique, being not the fastest powder, does tend to fail...

    Favorite .45 ACP loads?

    My favorite 45 acp load is: Montana Gold 230 gr FMJ over 6.0 gr of Alliant Unique at an OAL of 1.234" which gives me 845 avg FPS out of my H&K USP Compact 45 with 3.8" polygonal barrel, using Winchester LP primers and cases. When I used to use Winchester 231, I was only able to get a...

    Brass Recycling. . . $$$??

    1) How much are the brass recycling companies paying per pound of brass right now? 2) Do they usually accept tarnished and powder-burned brass, or must I tumble it first? 3) Do they accept nickle-plated brass too? Is there a price difference?

    Headspacing on the Casemouth?!!

    Case Lengths and Bullet Jump Thank you all who took the time to respond thus far. ;) This is what I'm getting at: Basically, all my pre-fired brass is already shorter than, or equal to, the S.A.A.M.I. minimums, and keeps getting shorter and shorter with each successive firing and...

    Headspacing on the Casemouth?!!

    45 ACP out of H&K USP and 9mm out of H&K USP, do they really headspace on the casemouth or does the extractor set the cartridge position? I've read both, how do I know the truth?

    Shrinking Pistol Cases

    I've noticed that my 45 ACP handgun brass keeps shrinking in length as I fire it and reload it. My 5x reloaded brass is already below the S.A.A.M.I. specifications minimum length of .888 (its about .881 or .882 before resizing). . . I'm wondering. . . after say, 10 or 15 reloadings, is there...

    Best Quality Handgun Brass?

    Currently, I only reload Winchester brass for my 45 ACP and 9mm Luger H&K handguns. I was going to buy Starline cases, but was put off by the fact that they cost almost as much as loaded ammunition. . . I have also saved up quite a bit of Remington brass for those calibers since I had bought...

    Price of scrap brass cartridge cases?

    Just curious, what kind of prices are you guys getting for your scrap brass cartridge cases per pound? Best I've found around here is $1.15 per pound. Wonder what prices are around the rest of the country. . .

    Damn, now I'm rubbish picking and I'm not happy.

    Brassoholic Hi, my name is Orfeo and I'm a brassoholic. . . I've got no sense of shame whatsoever when it comes to picking up brass. I've spent many hours on my hands and knees gathering brass, and many hours looking through the range garbage cans looking for discarded cardboard Remington...

    Cheapest Brass Polish

    So far, the cheapest brass polish (for tumbling cases in walnut media) I have found is Lyman Turbo Brite 20 ounces for $9.99 + $5.00 shipping from Cabela's. Anybody know of a cheaper source? What about liquid compound used by auto body to polish a wet-sanded laquer paint job? Is car...
