There was a thread a while back discussing .380 ACP bullets and more so 90 Grain bullets and in that thread there were numerous brands mentioned including my mention of the no name bullets from T. J. Conevera. I have zero knowledge who makes this bullet, maybe some of you know beyond a wild...
One of the recent threads about "case Trimming" ... I suggested making some little devises to make use the Lee Case Trimmer easier ... I think the photos pretty much show how these work ...
1/4" Aluminum flat bar about 1.5" wide(mine was scrap) ... drill two 3/4" holes in the flat bar ...
After reading and looking at the CH4D primer crimp remover .... I said that would work with the Forster CoAx press .... Then I got to thinking(sometime that is good and sometimes bad) .... I can "make" something very similar with out going to a lot of trouble ....
So ... I took a 5/16 NF thread...
Hey guys ...I am in sort of a dilemma ... I have a friend that has a .244 Remington ... so far we have found that it will only stabilize the 80 Gr Federal PowerShock ammo ... or smaller grain varmint bullets. I believe that the Federal is loaded with the Speer Hot Core Flat base bullets. We...

Anybody besides me wonder why there have been no cartridges 2.5" or 30/06 length based off the WSM(404 Jeffery) style cases? I know Dakota has but they will never be mainstream. I know Ackley and some of the other probably have, but with the new slower powders we have today ... I wonder why the...

The problem was that cartridge rim diameters vary quite a lot.
The RCBS trimmer uses a draw type collet to hold the case by the rim.
A smaller diameter rim will cause the...
Redding is now making the G-Rx sizing die for the 40 S&W in carbide.
I use the regular G-Rx die to size the "Glocked" brass for my 357 SIG.
I then run the brass through a RCBS 357 Sig die to finish sizing and then on to a RCBS bullet seating die...

Hornady makes a replacement stem with carbide button for RCBS dies.
Redding makes a replacement stem with carbide button for their dies.
I have replaced most of mine and was wondering...
