I don't know how old your Ruger is, but I have one that is 10+ years old and it detest boattail bullets. I have read of other folks having similar problems with their Rugers as well. Since you're in the early stages of load development you may want to pick up a box of flat base bullets and...

I use the Lee Ram Prime unit. I just looked at Wideners and they sell for $9.20. I purchased two of these units and have one set up for large primers and the other for small primers. I have a Lee Reloader Press dedicated for a de-priming and priming station. These are around $20.00 to...

Just out of curiosity, what type of accuracy are you getting out of the bullet weights you mentioned. I have a KP95 that hated 125 gr. lead round nose with whatever powder I used. It threw buckshot patterns at 50 feet. I never tried the 147s, figured they wouldn't fair any better. Unique...

My first response to this is... Have either or both scales been checked for accuracy? It seems like there is a sample size of two that don't agree. If the scales haven't been checked who's to say which one is right. A quick and dirty way to test this would be to use a third scale if one is...

question for cochise9424221 cochise9424221, Is that a Lyman trimmer next to the Orange Crusher press you have modified to work with a lathe handle? If so, does it help the trimming process or is purely decorative?

Gungle George, Nice set up. From the number of black box Lyman AA dies you have on hand, I'd say you've been at this game for awhile.

I think what jacob might be referring to is the fact Hornady sells a neck sizing die that functions on multiple calibers. They have two 22 caliber neck sizing dies, a short and a standard. The standard die will resize 22/250 and the .223 Remington. Short of looking at their chart I think it...

I'd grab it. You won't go wrong with this press. I have had one for at least 10 years. I use it for all of my pistol reloading and loading the .22 Hornet. I wouldn't begin to guess how many rounds have been produced on it. If you take a look on the Benchrest Central forums you'll see a fair...

drumz2129 I have an older Rockchucker press. I compared photos of the Supreme and mine and they seem like they moved the handle out away from the back of the press. This looks like it was to address the problem I mentioned. Good Luck

drumz2129, Nice set up. Not to rain on your parade, but what type of press are you plan on using? I know from past experience some presses can't be mounted without some overlap on the bench top. Two of my RCBS presses, an RS and a Rockchuker needed some clearance underneath for the toggle...

I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I think the RCBS RS-5 is made from an alloy of some sort, similar in composition to their Partner press. I think it is comparable the Lee Challenger. For not much difference in price, the RCBS Rockchucker is beefier and I think still made from cast iron. I...

I am not trying to hi-jack the thread, but I have a question about Wolf primers as well. Since they are foreign made, are there any problems with corrosive compounds in them? Jim

I had a similar problem with a Ruger KP-95. It will shoot 115 gr. FMJs into a respectable group. I tried using Speer 125 gr. lead round nose in it. Got shotgun patterns. Tried different powders and loads. It just didn't like 125 gr. lead. Now it gets a steady diet of 115 gr. FMJs and we...

I was ready to jump in on this thread, but I think lgbloader has been using my set up. He even has it down to using the RCBS 5-10 scale. I too use the appropriate Lee powder scoop to dump the bulk of the charge in the scales' pan. Then I either use the scoop to trickle in the remaining few...

There is a gun show in Richmond this weekend at the Showplace. The location is actually Mechanicsville, but I think they advertise as Richmond to be more recognizable. You can go to the following link for more information: http://www.cegunshows.com/calendar/Show_Schedule_copy(1).aspx Jim

Seems like there is an apple to oranges comparison going on here. As far as I know, Lee only makes a primer pocket cleaner. This is the little double-ended device designed to clean out the old fired primer residue. The Redding uniformer is designed to cut the primer pocket to standard...
