    Mouth of the Case too big

    Measure the neck inside diameter of a offending case. Measure the bullet diameter. Take apart the lee collet die and measure the rod width. What do you get? It should be at least .001 smaller than your bullet. The lee collet die is meant to be squashed in your press firmly. Are...

    Why yes I do feel lucky!

    OMG, an air lite .44. You are a glutton for punishment. Doesn't look like you are loading mouse farts for it either. What do they chrono? Have Smith make your a air lite 500 or 460 too. :what: It puts the sting in your hands! I am using 110 for my 44 mags, haven't tried blue dot, I...

    Damn!! The powder dispenser keypad on my RCBS ChargeMaster 1500 Combo has failed!!

    How long did the CM Combo last you? Sounds like only the dispenser is bad. I love my 1500 combo. I have tried the others via freinds that own them and the CM 1500 combo has been the most reliable, accurate, and speediest for me. I would do the same as you. $45 for replacement from RCBS is...

    price of "Quickload" program?

    I did find a post from 2008 were Hartmut Broemel (creator of QL) says that a trail boss powder profile is not possible. Best bet would be to contact him to see what he says today. http://www.neconos.com/ Source...

    price of "Quickload" program?

    Sorta... On a new unpublished load, I get a theoretical MIN and MAX powder charge from quickload. Start at the MIN and work up from there. But mostly use quickload to tweak loads, by changing seating depth, and brass length, or test component combinations to see if they will work. Another...

    price of "Quickload" program?

    Don't think of quickload as a manual or a substitute for a manual. It is not! Think of it as a ballistics lab. A virtual test lab to test pressure curve and velocities of any powder/bullet combination you can come up with. Your manual might have your load listed but shot with a shorter or...

    Looking for ideas for storing brass neatly

    Good Idea CVO. I can buy some extra shelves and move every shelf down to where it just fits the boxes to get more storage boxes in there. I will run out to my lowes and see if they got any. I now need to work on my shotshell organization too. I wish hulls did not take up soo much space...

    price of "Quickload" program?

    I have it and love it. Paid $150 I have not found any missing powders yet, bullets and bullet info yes, but you can add any bullet or powder you want. You just have to enter its info and save it as the bullet or powder name. It really helps me when I have a unpublished bullet to determine...

    Looking for ideas for storing brass neatly

    Because I did not have enough bins or space for each caliber to have its own box, I had to improvise. I put my 40 and 10mm in the same box, 380 with 9mm mak, 44 mag with 44 spl, 454 casull with 45 colt, 357 mag with 38 spl, created a misc pistol box with all my small quantity and rare brass...
