Check out the Hawke Optics line of scopes. They come highly recommended on the dedicated airgun forums. I have a 3-9x40 AO HD Sport that has held up well on a Stoeger X20S, with several thousand pellets down the bore. No issues to report. I believe the entire line-up from Hawke is spring gun...

Bear in mind, I started reloading in the mid-seventies. I found some old die boxes and bullet boxes. RCBS die sets - $11.25 Speer 30 cal. 170 gr. JFP - $5.01/100 Speer .357 140 gr. JHP - $6.20/100 I think I was paying around $21.50 for Hornady 38/.357...

When de-priming, install the priming arm in the slot of the ram. This acts to funnel the spent primers down the proper path.

I've always crimped in a separate station for ,45 ACP and 9mm. I used to use the FCD, but have switched to the regular taper crimp die. My progressive press runs a little smoother without that extra bump of the FCD sizing ring as it engages the case. Though the FCD debate has sometimes...

Keep the primer arm mounted in the ram during de-priming. It helps funnel the spent primers down the hollow ram.

You will be just fine with the Lee .38 spec. dies. As noted on Lee's website, they will have to be re-adjusted when used for .357. Two things you may want to look into are the Redding die spacer kit and Hornady Shur-Loc rings. The Redding kit makes converting from .38 to .357 a snap. The...

bangbig May I suggest you try the re-sized case in your barrel. Case gauges are meant to simulate minimum dimensions. Your chamber is the real deal. 918v Just ran a Winchester case through my Lee carbide sizer and measured .3845 just above the extractor groove. Factory Winchester...

I just recently decided to start loading for 30-30 again after a long hiatus. I found some prepped and primed brass I had processed probably 15-20 years ago. They were kept in a sealed ammo box, so I'm not too concerned that they won't be any good. Looking over the brass, I found probably...

Used to use Lee dies in my LNL AP and the Powder thru Expander really caused my press to jump upon extraction. Note: I was using this strictly for belling the case mouth in a separate station from the powder drop. I've since started using the Hornady PTX in conjunction with the powder drop and...

I mentioned H4895 and H4198 specifically, as they were both listed on Hodgdons site for a similar weight lead bullet. I'm not necessarily stuck on these 2 powders, just they were the only ones I've found in published data. They also listed Trailboss but I decided against it, as MV was on the...

Recently switched to lead for my pistols (45 acp and 9mm) and I'm really enjoying the economy compared to plated and jacketed. Planning on takaing my old Winchester 94 on a range outing and thought I might give lead a try. Looking at Missouri Bullet's offerings I see a both a 135gr. RNFP and a...

I'm going to go against the grain just a bit. I've been reloading for the better part of 40 years. Most of that on an old RCBS Rockchucker Jr. Several years back I decided to up my production and bought a Lee Classic Cast Turret press. While many reloaders like to bash Lee presses, this...

Buck, as referenced in my initial post, the Hodgdon data is a max load. It is the only spec given and Hodgdon states that loads should be reduced by 10% for starting loads where no starting loads are published. But, your right, as the resulting starting load pretty much matched max loads in...

Wanting to reload ZERO 125 gr. JHP in .357 Magnum. Looking through my manuals I am finding different specs for Hornady XTP than other JHP. The XTP's data starts at the max loading for other jacketed bullets. Speer recommends 18.0 to 20.0 gr. of H110 with their Unicore and Gold Dot 125's...
