A range buddy shows up with his own components, dies for calibers I don't have, a shell plate, and a case of beer (although I need to help carry that in). The only thing he borrows is some case lube (not counting scales and press). Can't complain at all. Should I be?

Almost all of my gear is Lee. I run a Lee Load Master progressive with more than 10000 rounds on the clock, and have a Classic Cast for general purpose use. The Classic Cast is top-notch. Everyone that's used mine (and many have green presses at home) thought it was a steal for the price. No...

I found that the Fobus I bought for one of my pistols has the worst retention of a plastic holster. While I am sure it would do fine for IDPA, in 3 gun I have seen some stages where I would doubt that holster's ability to retain the pistol. Since you asked which holster, the answer is "it...

The thing that rides the swager button should hit the bottom of the press frame and help to push the swaged case off the button. It does not fit my Lee either, but the cases come off fine.

Most smaller deer won't make it far when hit with a decently constructed bullet and a decently placed shot. On another site there is some guy with a SIG-556 shooting hogs with 75 grain bullets of all sorts, and they all have only one hole too. The M855 argument was that that round had supposedly...

I reload for 7.62x54R with the Sierra 150 and use Varget there. It works, is gentle on cases, and consistent. I do 147gr plinkers with H335, and I agree with others about the muzzle blast, although "satisfying" is the first adjective that I'd use. I have seen recipes for 150-ish weights using...

I use Varget with a Lee Perfect Powder Measure, and it works great, at least for me. Great enough that I can crank out plinking loads progressively, and still group an inch or less. Actually, the Lee Auto Disc works fine with it too, and I use that when I want to load Varget in 223...

I have M77 Mk II Varmint/Target in 308. I like it a lot, it'll cloverleaf at 100 with little difficulty, although it's a bit long and heavy to go deer hunting with. I understand the VT trigger is different than the stock one, and that the new "LC" trigger designs are based on the old VT...

A couple of things: 1. Clark Bros requires you to buy their ammo, or reload with components you bought there. Ammo proof is easy, reloaded stuff isn't. They're a bit wonky, so don't think you can buy 100 rounds of their stuff at the store and then shoot 100 rounds of your reloads instead. If...

Reloading tray? I have one of those universal ones, which works great for everything I'd ever want to put into a reloading tray. Pistol ammo, however, gets loaded progressively. Otherwise I'd spend all week loading to shoot a match, never mind what the wife burns up during the week.

Right on the money, RustyFN. Actually, even Varget meters well, much to my surprise, through the double disc setup. I actually think that once you're in double-disc range, you're golden, since then you can get just about every .1cc combination. It's the single disc thing that you'd wish had a...

I shot a few hundred copper-washed 7.62x54R that I was told was thirties era. The copper was was so oxidized we had to hose and rub each round down with break free so it would extract without having to bash the bolt handle into the table at the range. Had a couple of hang fires, even on...

I have a lee classic, and a lee load master. The classic is a single stage, and is what it is. The load master is your ultimate test whether you're able to follow instructions. It's a quirky, rubenesque contraption that cranks out a surprising quantity of surprisingly good reloads if, only...

I know this is an old thread, but here is my take: I like reloading 380. It's the least exciting of any of the calibers. I thank Ruger for promoting the LCP to the point that there is .380 brass to be scrounged now. My PPK likes 3.2 grains of Win231 under a 95 grain Rainier or real FMJ, either...

My AR-24 works great with the 9mm EAA Witness mags from Mec-Gar, and those hold 16 rounds. I like my AR-24 a lot too, and it's an iteration, not a copy. From the original CZ all the way to the baby Eagle, each revision has had some improvements, tweaks, and fixes applied. For instance, you...
