    .357 Sig full length sizing die recommendations

    Hello, I just read several outstanding threads here on THR about loading for .357 Sig. Lost of valuable information. I stopped loading .357 Sig about 9 years ago due to the problems I was having with achieving a consistent finished product. I recently decided to give it a chance again...

    Thread size and pitch for AR handgrip screw?

    Hello, I am not at home to check for myself, but am wondering what the thread size and pitch is for the screw that mounts the grip to an AR receiver. The reason for this is I purchased an unfinished receiver that needs to have the hole tapped. I'm wanting to get the correct tap for the...

    loading .460 with Hornady XTP

    I accidentally ordered 200 240gr Hornady XTP bullets with intentions of putting them on the end of 460 S&W magnum. I meant to order the XTP mag bullets, but ordered the regular. I am wondering what velocities I should keep these under to be safe and accurate. My plan was to load them with...

    7.62x39 bullet diameters

    I haven't started loading for 7.62x39 yet, but am starting to pick up stuff little by little. I believe the bullet diameters to be a little bigger (.312") on the AK round than on the 7.62NATO round (.308"). Since I already load for .308 and have plenty of 147gr M80 Ball bullets, it would be...

I will be starting to load for .308Win and am asking what is the absolute best dies on the market for a progressive press. I don't care about price, because I would rather spend...

    Dillon 550 toolhead hole size?

    I am away from my press and equipment for another 10 days or so. I'm making a toolhead stand for my 550. Can anyone measure the diameter of the center (non-threaded) hole of the 550 toolhead? I believe it to be just over 1/2" but want to get a little more precise measurement. Thanks in advance.

    Bearing kit for Dillon 550B

    I performed a search for any reviews or opinions on this subject and came up empty handed. I have been looking at the shellplate bearing kit for the Dillon 550B that Hit Factor Shooting Supply sells on their website and on eBay. They claims it "removes the snap into position that causes...

    230gr JHP or FMJ in .45Colt and .454Casull?

    Of all my 6 reloading manuals none of them list a 230gr bullet for .454Casull. Some list a 225gr, 240gr, 250gr etc. I have some .230gr JHP and FMJ I have used for .45ACP. Will these be OK to use in either Casull or .45Colt? Will they be long enough to get a good crimp? Has anyone else tried...

    Dillon power funnels?

    A recently moved my family across 8 states. Somehow all my Dillon 550 powder funnels came out of the powder dies/tool heads. I managed to recover most of them and missing a few others. Now I have to replace the ones I don't have. I may have to call Dillon if I can't figure out which ones...

    .44 mag Redhawk with scope?

    I walked into the local gun shop and impulse bought (put on layaway) a Redhawk in .44 mag. Just wondering if any of you have scopes mounted on the Redhawk or what are the best options that will withstand the recoil. Thanks, Shovel

    .357 Sig sizing die?

    Hi, I'm reloading .357 Sig with Dillon dies on a 550B. Have a good load and most chamber and shoot well. However about one out of ten loaded cases do not chamber fully causing the slide not to go into battery. The problem is that the sizing die does not seem to "full length resize" the case...

    Roze Dist and Zero Bullets

    I've never ordered Zero bullets from Roze Distributing before and have a couple questions that I can't seem to find answers to on the website. I'm interested in some 9mm 125gr FMJFP for .357sig. Based on the price I'm guessing that they sell in quantities of 1000. And I can't find shipping...

    Hello, I'm going to start reloading for .357sig before the end of the month. I tried doing a search to find what I'm looking for but came up empty handed. I'm looking for some .355" bullet recommendations for loading .357sig. I know that they are the same diameter and similar weights of a...

    Berrys plated and .357mag?

    I know from Berrys website they don't "recommend" their plated bullets to go over 1200 feet per second. But they sell the plated for .357mag. I have some of their 125gr hollow points and want to try them for .357. There is no great warning or caution and doesn't even say anything on the item...

    Hello, I currently reload for 4 semi-auto handgun calibers and made my first .38spc loads today. These are my first revolver cartriges I've loaded. I used Berrys 125gr plated hollow point over 5.5 grains of win 231 with CCI primers. I only made 10, but don't quite understand how much to...
