    New press on my bench! Dillon 1050, WOW.

    The 1050 is "da bomb". I keep telling myself if I ever manage to kill my little SDB, I deserve one...danged SD just don't wanna' co-operate though. Terrific piece of equipment, enjoy it.

    9mm powder opinions

    I think I've got a pretty good feel for what you like Walkalong and I'll tell you what I'll do. Try Silhouette and if you don't like it, I'll take it off your hands and buy you a "Big Mac" (with or without cheese) for your trouble. ;)

    WCC Headstamp

    WCC is good stuff and if the S&B is really BRASS, it's top notch too. S&B, for reasons unknown, sells both brass and brass-coated steel versions. They are indistinguishable from appearances, need a magnet to tell for sure. The primer pockets are a little tight on all of them but the real...

    Anyone a fan of Tightgroup?

    I'm not a particular fan of Titegroup however, I do shoot a great deal of it in .40. One of my favorite range loads is 3.5 grains of TG under either a 180 grain Zero JHP or 180 grain Rainier FP...soft shooting, easy on the gun and more accurate than I can shoot. I drop it to 3.2 grains under...

    True Blue & the "Uniflow"

    Something's not right and I'd guess, either the PM system or the scale. True Blue should meter precisely with almost zero fluctuations. Take Walkalong's advice and check for static (try the anti-static wipes) to start and go from there. If you're shooting for a 7.0 grain charge, True Blue...

    WCC Headstamp

    WCC is good stuff. I give mine just a little "bump" with the Dillon Super Swage for smooth seating although a high ratio will accept a primer anyways.

    9mm powder opinions

    +1. Might want to add Silhouette to that list too. It'll do anything PP will minus, the "flash/bang" and meters like powdered water.

    MBC in the News

    Very nice article, you guys have obviously earned the right to be proud of yourselves. Sounds like your story would make a good poster for "American Entrepenureism"....;).

    LOW Velocity and LIGHT Loads for .45 acp

    Take a look at THESE. All are bullseye level loads and are both soft and accurate...may require the lighter recoil springs for reliable function.

    Cleaner burning powder for .40s&w

    My top choices for clean & accurate .40 powders are Universal, N-320, N-330 & N-340. Not quite as clean but still very nice are WSF, Silhouette, True Blue, Power Pistol & even TG are not too bad.

    nickel plated brass vs. reg brass

    Pretty well covered. The biggest knock I have on nickle-plated (other than shorter life) is, after processing a few times, the nickle tends to flake off in the sizing die requiring it to be removed and cleaned...major PITA. I don't know if it's just me but being an old-timer, I don't seem to...

    Found my .270 Load

    An excellent group, congratulations. On your image, you seem to be measuring from outside-to-outside. Most people consider your "true" group size to be measured center-to-center. This is most easily and accurately accomplished by using the inside edge of one shot to the outside edge of...

    Wolf SP Primers FTF Issue

    If these are their new nickle-plated SPP, a significant number of people have reported problems seating them flush or below. I had no such problem (although, my pockets were prepped) but I did have an unacceptable ratio of failed ignition with guns running tuned triggers. I checked them again...

    Wolf Primers? What Do You Think?

    Yep. And, the new nickle plated version seems to have caused more people trouble. I personally had no problem seating them but light strikes popped up immediately with them in my guns with tuned triggers. I ran some control tests with an OEM trigger setup and had no problems, 100% ignition...

    Most Popular Powder in Bullseye Comp.

    Just looking at the pet loads on the BULLSEYE-L FORUM, looks like Bullseye and VV N-310 are the dominant powders to me.

    Wolf primers are actually manufactured by Murom Apparatus producing plant. They were originally imported under the generic KVB brand, later by PMC and presently, by Wolf.

    Universal Powder

    I personally don't even try to use the same powder over multiple calibers but that said, I've used Universal in 9MM, .40 and .45 with good results and if that's what you want to do, it'll work just fine.

    Honestly are wolf primers any good?

    If you're intended use is in stock guns, I'd say they're fine. There can be ignition issues in guns running lightened, tuned, trigger setups (including, my guns) and some people find them a little harder to seat. I personally experienced no particular issues with seating but they do take a bit...
