    Reloading Rifle Cartridges not conducive to Turret?

    I could swear that some of the recent sniper competition guys are loading on Dillon progressives... You probably slow down and focus thinking on all the time you waste loading on a single Stage. The play / variance in a progressive can easily be eliminated

    Is anyone seeing much .380 ammo?

    It seemed rare and overpriced, so I gave up and bought the dies. Extreme bullets for The 380 semes like a deal.

    Free Range Brass

    Wow, I'm lucky when I don't have to beat the brass gulches off with a stick, let alone take more home than I shot

    Wounded Warriors Project doesn't deal with companies involved with Firearms?

    Good summary Tom, but I think you are letting them off easy by focusing on on the co-branding issue. Their objection is not just to putting their logo on a gun or knife. if you read the statement from their website carefully, it says they will not take money from weapons companies, the term...

    Wounded Warriors Project doesn't deal with companies involved with Firearms?

    Listen to the podcast. Listen to the podcast. After listening to the latest podcast from Tom Gresham, I am convinced that that CEO was spinning a big fat bunch of lies and smokescreens... Here is the letter I sent to T.G. You are missing something important on the wounded warrior thing. I...

    Prevent ammo tampering.

    If that becomes necessary, you'll probably have time to do it. If you are really concerned, two little boxes are not enough. I suggest loose storage in a Locked full 50 cal ammo can. It sounds like you need to get out and shoot more.

    Favorite .45ACP powder

    Clays or trail boss get my vote I have tried a ton of powders through the whole range of charges. my process was to chrono each and keep the cases for a comparison of cleanliness, etc. I shoot a 200 gr lswc. The top for cleanliness an soft recoil were Trail Boss, clays, solo 1000 in that...

    Feeding issue

    Good to try sd ammo They probably test with ball ammo at the factory, and your sd ammo is hp, that could be the difference. I thought it was a little silly to function test with my sd ammo since it is premium and expensive, but I found the rubber tip sd ammo can be a real problem because the...

    Otis cables vs cleaning rods

    Wife bought me a new "wet" tumbler

    I don't think the vanes would beat up the brass. The mixer will be half full of water so the brass would be falling into water. I know people use these with corn or walnut. Also with the water, how moist could it be? Markdb I know you meant liquid rubber, but I still don't know what it is...

    new to tumbling media..... ????

    I use the stainless steel media method, and compared to walkalongs brass in the photo in post #2, his brass looks dirty. No offense to Walkalong, his brass looks great, and it is plenty clean enough to reload, however I clean indoors when the weather is too bad to shoot, so I decided I didnt...

    Kimber 1911 question .... is there sufficient case support here?

    What I dont understand is why you didnt just polish the ramp on the frame first and leave the barrel alone? I suspect that alone might have solved your problem. Also have you checked your crimp and OAL?

    Is it worth reloading Shotgun ammo?

    I load for 12 gauge because I can load light loads that pattern better for just a little less than the cheap stuff at wallmart. I use the $40 lee loading tool, and it works just fine once you get the hang of it. Even if you hate it, the investment is pretty minimal. Be sure to check at the...

    What clever little things have you "invented or discovered" that you can share?

    it seems like I am constantly moving brass between different containers. These one pound powder jugs make a great funnel for moving brass from one container to another. Just cut off the bottom and use it inverted. As an added bonus for me, it seems to fit perfectly into may of my other...

    Squib, bullet stuck in barrel, etc be honest

    Yes but not a squib, just a few that wouldnt chamber because the brass was glocked, OAL too long or not enough crimp.
