I've made the same mistake, and I figure so has everyone else that owns one. But the tool really is great.

The way that I have seen a primer flip occur is if the lid on the primer tray isn't completely shut down tight. A small primer (not a large primer) will be able to flip at the point that it is in the slot about slide into the tool from the tray. If the lid is not tight, there is just enough...

Once the mil crimp is reamed away, I have used the RCBS hand priming tool (the one with the specific shell holder, not universal) on many thousands of 223 shells without any problems. However, on the topic of flipped primers, I find that it is necessary to squeeze a bit at the point at which...

I am sure there are folks out there with nearly a ton of Win stamped brass, most likely from white boxes, who reload it over and over again. It's good.

If you have any access to 2400, give that a shot. My 158gr 2400 loads for 357Mag are some of the best I have. I have tried plenty of powders for kicks, but nothing touched 2400 for me, especially for accuracy. I shoot out of a Marlin 1894 as well as a Ruger Blackhawk SA.

I can't tell you much about whitetail kill characteristics with a Nosler Partition 180, but I can tell you that for myself, my father and my uncles who I reload for we all use almost exclusively 30/06 and there has been a lot of moose meat put on our tables using that caliber/bullet...

You might want to ask that question over at CanadianGunNutz. Plenty of reloaders up in the northland.

Bad Flynch Says: "Buy one, even if you can't eat for a month." I agree. I bought one, didn't eat for a month, but it was worth it.

As has been stated, H110/W296 require magnum Large Pistol primers. I can tell you that 2400 does not require magnum, go with standard Large Pistol primers. I have heard that 2400 did require magnum in the past.

Another vote for HS-6 with 124gr projectile, and yes it's best at the higher end velocities. I have also tested and enjoyed 231, Power Pistol, AA#7, WSF and American Select. I'm about to start working up loads for Hodgdon Universal Clays and Titegroup. 9mm is such a versatile caliber.

RCBS has the best customer service of any company I've ever dealt with.

I clean my primer pockets as well. Sometimes there's just enough crud to cause a problem with primer seating, so cleaning the pockets avoids that. Most guys don't bother. In rifle reloading, on the other hand, a lot of guys do clean the pockets.

Ditto regarding winchester pistol brass. Very good stuff. My reloading room is like an ocean of winchester brass.

It is possible to render the primer a dud with a very severe dent, but smaller dents are not usually a problem at all, from my experience.

RCBS ChargeMaster 1500 Combo - very good machine indeed. I have experienced the same issue as GlockTerrier, with vibration causing a bit of powder to fall into the tray. A separate surface would help out a lot. But I've produced a lot of very good ammunition with it, and am glad I have it.

The company that makes the special collet die is 'Innovative Technologies'. On their website they claim that they're sold out, but are accepting emails to start a want list. Once they get enough demand they'll make another batch of them. I'm looking for one of those dies as well, specifically...

I've loaded HS-6 pretty constantly over the past few years and it's definitely static.
