    How do I ....

    For az shooters, you could go to arizonashooting.com and make a post there. I bet there is someone who would be willing to share. If not, drive up to Phoenix and try a range up there/here (I am in phoenix). Caswells has HK's for rent (almost positive).

    Looking for Progressive Press

    Thanks for the insight. And changing the turret is not tough. What slows me down is the handling over everything at pretty much every step. I know if I was in a hurry, I could get close to that 200 rounds per hour, but I take my time. Still some what new and really dont want to make any...

    Looking for Progressive Press

    I mean from Start to finish. 1 Hour. This includes filling the powder hopper, loading the primer disk and setting up my "stations." Add in a change of caliber and in a 2 hour period I can do a bit more. But typically I only load what I am going to shoot that day or the next. I know, I would...

    Looking for Progressive Press

    If I was to go with the dillon 550B, are the dies proprietary? Or could I use my Lee dies? Looks like the temperamental Load master may be a pain. I wish I knew when the cast progressive was to be released. Im not in a "rush" but I do shoot about 10k per year and loading ~100 per hour on...

    Looking for Progressive Press

    Spikes .22 upper or GSG-5???

    Then Upper IMO. You have a bolt you have a 10/22 (and dont like it) but the AR Upper is a fine upgrade.

    Spikes .22 upper or GSG-5???

    Armed Bear has his points and made the same point I made but made it like he was running for president. The AR Upper is a GREAT addon. I disagree with his calling of a 10/22 CRAP or with the need to clean a 10/22 more often than an AR upper. Do your own research on 10/22s and you will see they...

    Spikes .22 upper or GSG-5???

    Well I hate to throw out more ideas (A or B? Well I choose C!) but, have you considered building a Ruger 10/22? You can build it to look just like an AR, MP5, Bullpup and the list goes on! Its a whole new firearm. They tend very durable and high quality (depending on parts you buy). Again...

    Beginner with a smile!

    Yesterday I was able to get out to the range and test fire 11 first time loaded ammo: .40 180gr copper plated with 4.5 gr of Hodgdon Titegroup. 1.130 OAL I was honestly surprised with the accuracy difference between these and WWB. Thank you all who had helped me. I have now loaded...

    Troubles with my brand new S&W M&P9c

    I am the proud owner of the M&P 9c. First thing I did was fill the mag up and try to chamber / Eject rounds manually. It was a little tougher than other models of firearms I have. It was to the point of being worried about it at the range. Needless to say, took it to the range for the first...

    Lee Classic Turret Press Help!

    I read the instructions and followed them as close as possible, but they are unclear. I will look into the links you sent, that should help. My Problem using: .40 180gr copper jacketed. I have just been using empty casings with no primers. Bullet is seating to deep (WAY to deep). I am not...

    Lee Classic Turret Press Help!

    Ok, I have all the pieces I need to reload. I am just curious if there is a better die instruction (maybe video) to setting your dies correctly. I have wasted about 5 cases and bullets just trying to get the seating set. Also want to be sure that the flare is optimum. Any help is greatly...

    Hodgdon Titegroup (powder)

    Looking at purchasing a 8lb keg of Titegroup to load .40 and 9mm. Does anyone have any experience with this powder? (I have been offered a deal that is tough to turn down) Also looking to Load: 124gr Copper Plated and 180gr Copper Plated I have not found a lot of load data on these, can...

    I too am a rookie. I decided to go with the Lee Classic Turret. Find a kit that has the following: Press, dies & measuring device. I then purchased the following: Scale, Caliper, brass tumbler (AND MEDIA!), storage bins and components. I would also suggest a bullet puller. I believe you can...

    Winchester White Box Cases

    paper is right on the cost. I plan on stocking up on brass by buying WWB. Since it seems that everyone feels its excellent, its a cheap way to shoot some and still have once fired brass! Especially since I only reload 9mm and .40 S&W. Its not a huge savings (and most the time more expensive)...

    Winchester White Box Cases

    I know this sounds dumb, but there is no reason to NOT use the winchester white box brass cases is there? I know almost all my friends practice with them, and since I am brand new to reloading, I hope they can give them to me from now on.

    Looking for some help

    As for the table denting tools, it just wont happen. Its a 18gauge galvanized steal top with a wood core. It is just handy for keeping the oils and gunk off of the wood. I was just concerned with static electricity or something of that nature, but I don't think its conductive anyways. I ended...
