    Berry plated 115 gr 9mm w/ H. Universal

    Anyone used this combination before? What recipe have you used? Hodgdon states 115 FMJ @ 5.0 gr on the can and loading table for Universal. Speer shows 115 FMJ @ 4.7-5.3 gr w/ H. Universal. This was my very first run. Given these are plated and the info above, I started w/ a few @...

    Tumbler media in flash hole

    Does the small amount of walnut/corn cob media that gets into the flash hole during cleaning need to be cleared prior to reloading or will the depriming pin push this clear with the primer? I'd estimate about 25% of the cases I've cleaned have a grain or two of media in the flash hole when...

    What's NOT included w/ Dillon or Hornady

    Getting ready to jump into reloading, but am a bit confused on what pieces and parts are required for a "complete" progressive system. I've read the stickys. I'm not talking case prep or calipers, scales, flip trays, books, etc. I'm just talking the actual mechanical components of the press...

    AR Style Platform .223 vs. .308

    I may have been listening to a few too many gun related podcasts or election news broadcasts, but I'm interested in purchasing a rifle on an AR-type platform. I have previous experience shooting the AR-15 in 5.56/.223 and recently had the opportunity to run one at the range, but am interested...
