I'll be loading for a Marlin 270 win. F/L resizer will be in my single stage (for use when/if needed.)
Think i have it figured out. Let me know if it'll work or if I need additional parts.
sta #1 decap/neck size
sta #2 powder thru die (with
perfect powder measure attached)
sta #3...
Specifically, 45ACP (full size M&P) bullet: dardas 200 lswc. would WST be a good powder? I know it's a bulky powder typical 5gr load net almost a full case (zero chance for double drop w/o a major mess). Is it dirty burning?
help is always appreciated. aj b
Choices, choices, choices! All in 130 gr. and using H4350 powder.
Barnes TSX, Hornady Interbond, Nosler Ballistic Tip et al! Gonna be used for deer hunting (whitetail) and maybe pigs both under 200 yrds. Any ideas/suggestions? or am i worrying too much!:confused:
First, This will be the ONLY rifle round I will be loading. I have a Lee 4 hole classic turret press.
And here comes the questions: The powder I plan to use is either H4831 or H4350 and the bullet weight between 130-150 gr. Will the pro auto disk measure be able to throw enough powder in 1...
The gun is a 870 express 3" chamber. I have two barrels for it and was wondering which would be better for deer hunting.
1st is a 18" cyl choke (my h/d barrel) no vent bead sight
2nd is a 28" rem choke (modified) vent rib bead sight (not opposed to buying
an imp cyl choke tube).
Which would...
Is anyone using this powder for 45acp? How well does it meter? Is it
clean burning? Is it useful for any other rounds (other than for semi-auto)?
I'll be loading dardas 200gr lswc for my M&P. Thanks! aj b
Looking at a S&W Model 629 with either a 6" or 8 3/8" barrel. Shots will be limited to under 50 yds from either a tree stand or a ground blind (for deer) and hoofing it for hogs. Which, in your opinion would be better and should it be scoped? TKS aj b
Besides "it's fun to shoot" "because I can" type answers, is there a practical reason for it. Can you use it for hunting (deer size animals)? Target shooting (200 yds or more)? Just looking for plausible reasons. Please leave the flame throwers turned off please. aj b
Was just depriming some 45acp(mixed brass) and noticed that on some the primer flash hole is larger on some brass than on others. Is this normal or or do I have some fubbed brass? aj b
Ok this cajun needs counsel one more time (at least). The gun being used is a S&W M&P full size (5"bbl) in .45acp. Which would be the better bullet for target use (light to medium loads) a lswc or a lrnfp? Can get both in either flat base or bevel base (would think the bevel base would be easier...
overheard a conversation at work about reloading shot shells for a Pump shotgun. the guy said his "friend" loaded 12 ga Brass cases with Brass shot because it patterned better than either lead or steel shot. Am I missing something? I thought brass cases were used only in single shot or double...
OK here's what I have:
Lee classic cast 4 hole turret (turrent for rondog:eek:)
Lee .45acp deluxe dies, auto pro disk w/riser, adj charge bar, safety prime and ABC's of reloading.
next order:
rcbs 505 (thanks guys you twisted my arm hard enuf)
lee reloader single stage (includes lee...
Ordered my reloading equipment from graf's on the 18th was finally shipped on the 24th:fire:. I can't stand the waiting any longer:cuss: I'm going to the range now and kill some paper and reclaim some brass to reload. Maybe it'll make me feel better but somehow I don't think so!:banghead: ajb
Thanks to your input I'm ready to order as soon as Graf's gets all the parts in stock.
My concern/question is about the scale. In price order:
rcbs rc130 43.99
lyman pro 500 45.59
dillion eliminator 52.99
rcbs 502 65.39
rcbs 505...

Lee Classic Turet with the iron base,
45acp deluxe carbide dies (4 die set)
Lee pro auto disk measure with the riser
Lee adj. charge bar
Lee Safety Prime
Lee safety scale
tumbler, digital caliper and...
I'll be Mostly doing close in hunting (less than 50 yards)ocassionally across a field (100 yards). Was thinking about either a Marlin 336 (35Rem) or a S&W model 629(?) 44 Mag, 8 3/8" bbl. Other options/suggestions would be appreciated. ajb
I'm getting a little too old to climb a tree and too feable
to stalk. Are ground blinds a viable alternative. If you can, would you please suggest something in the 100-200 dollar
range.
Got really good answers to my lee turret questions. Please one more time. I'll be loading mostly .45acp for now. Question is Whats the differencs between cast, hard cast, moly coated and plated bullets. For target use (m&p f/s .45acp) is one type/style better than the others or is it no big...
Seriously thinking about getting into reloading. What would be a good starter press? Will be loading .45acp only (for now). Only shoot appx 200 rounds a month. Was looking at a four hole lee turret, but am open to suggestions. Thanks.
