I'm gearing up for bulk AR15 .223 shooting & reloading. Do the RCBS X-Dies work as claimed and eliminate case trimming or are they just another fad ? If they work, would the small base X-Die be better for an AR15 ? So far I have had no problems using a standard FL sizing die.

I know with open/iron sights its best to sight at 6:00. Is it better to sight a red dot at center or 6:00 ? Why ? None of the Bullseye sites address this issue.

How does one run bottle neck cases, that require lube, through the loading process using a casefeeder? I'm debating whether to add a casefeeder to Hornady LNL AP press and I will be using [Dillon] spray lube. Do you use a 2 step process by running the cases through manually the 1st time to...

I'm thinking about second press to load rifle cartridges and supplement my Dillon RL 550B that is set up for pistol cartridges. I've been considering the Hornady LNL but hear there are some issues with it. Namely, any powder debris stops the primer slide in it's track and over time the...

Any reports pro or con reloading .223 with the case feeder ? I'm looking for a cheap way to load .223 and the case feeder option is appealing if it works.

Got a large supply of Herco and I'm looking for load data for 155 and 180 LSWC bullets. I'd like to get 1100-1200 FPS out of a 5" barrel. Perhaps one of you still has an old 80s/90s Alliant/Hercules Reloader's Guide when 10mm was new and popular. Already talked with Alliant; they only...

How difficult is it to make .243 Win cases from .308 NATO and/or commercial brass ? What's the process and what equipment do I need ? I already reload .243 Win.

I dropped my SW99 [#120212, .40 S&W] and it landed directly on the side of the rear sight. The plastic sight body internal threads appear stripped and the part that holds the adjustment screw in place has sheared on one side. The sight is FUBAR. As usual, the S&W Instruction Manual doesn't...

I was given a quanity of .30-06 blank brass with various head stamps from WWII to 1968 by a VFW member. The LC 68 brass shown looks like regular brass with the annealing colors, etc. but with the typical blank crimp on the neck. Is this LC 68 brass reloadable or should I toss it ...

I'm just starting to reload for a 10mm in a 1911 platform. I've heard that shooting lead bullets in 1911 platform is problematic especially in ramped barrels. Is there a particular design/shape lead bullet that works best ? I'd hate to buy a batch of 500 bullet only to find they don't feed...

Does any die maker make spacers that will allow one to use .40S&W dies adjusted for .40S&W to additionally load 10MM ? [RCBS doesn't] The spacers need to be 0.142" thick, the difference between 10MM and .40S&W case length

Darn, I waited too long and my the IMR4895 powder I bought and stockpiled in 1976 has deteriorated and gone Kaput….:( Since spherical powders work best in my RL550B I've been looking at AA2450 and 2520 but the only experience I have it with IMR4895. What's are the current powder options and...

I put a 3.5# Scherer connection in my G23 hoping to improving the trigger. Near as I can figure the trigger pull decreased from ~6# 8 oz to ~5# 2oz. Should I do a happy dance or be disappointed ?

I have an old Glock 23 10 round magazine bought during the Clintonista gun ban. Since there is no longer a ban, is there a simple way to convert/upgrade it to normal 13 round capacity ?

I'm considering a ported barrel [LWD or Storm Lake] for a Glock 23 [.40 S&W] so I can shoot lead reloads in action pistol events. The barrels are ported "externally" and apparently extend 1" beyond the slide. Lone Wolf Dist. claims muzzle flip is reduced 50%. Are ported barrels really...

Anyone use one on their SW1911PD ? Apparently they use the OEM front sight and are adjustable for elevation and windage. I'm looking for a rear sight that I can adjust a tad lower.
