A friend who knows I reload, does clean outs and found these in a house that he was working on. The first pic is of the headstamps. the one on the right is hard to see the only thing I can make out looks like 7.52 it is coated in some green stuff and when I scratched some off it looks like...

Well, a friend finally pulled his FIL's gun out of the attic. I've been bugging him for months to know what it is. (he's not a gun person) First question he asked is how old it is. Here's what I know: three screw, ser # 90xxx, black plastis grips, on the side it says "Ruger .22 cal...

I'm kinda new, about two years, self taught reloader so far so good. Went shooting today and this thing ejected. My first time with photos so I'll hopefully post the pics before I go on.

I like to take things slow, so after starting with a single stage I moved up to the Lee classic turret. After a couple of issues I got it running good. (Lee should recomend a tiny dab of grease in the detent.) I was still using the RCBS hand primer. So.. I got the Lee safety prime and I...

I just stepped up a notch, to a Lee Classic turret press. So far so good. Looking for a way to store the turrets. The depriming pin, so precariously extruding, seems like an accident waiting to happen. How do you folks store the turrets you are not using? Thanks Rick

I love handguns and I've got the bug and the funds for a new one. I don't have a lot of money and buy a gun every two years or so. I've got, Browning Buckmark 22, Ruger SBH 41 and 44, Ruger Gp100 357, and my nightstand sweetheart is a sig P229r 40. I'm Looking at a Kimber Eclips Target II (I...

I've got a question regarding these. I purchased a box about a year ago and just opened them last week. I loaded 200 .357 and 200 .40, both light loads (125 gn over 7 gns bullseye and 155 gns over 6.8 gns unique. Ive shot 50 of the .357 (before I saw the warning) with no problem. So I was...

I just acquired a New Model Blackhawk in .41 mag. It's in the gun shop (Here in California we have to wait 10 days to get it.) So I'm going to be asking lots of questions, I hope you folks will help me out. 1 I can get some starline brass cheep is this ok? 2 I like berry's bullets and...

Just a heads up for my friends here. I just ordererd some CCI small pistol and on sale. If you order enough the sale price will cover Haz-Mat fees.......Rick

I went to the range yesterday and had a problem. I'm a new reloader (I've loaded and shot about 2,000 rounds without a problem) I load handgun only. I don't sort brass but do check case length. So I had some nickel plated brass and loaded it the same as a load that has worked fine before. (7.3...

My wife loves the new GP100 and shoots it well. I have only loaded .357 for myself but she likes 38 spl. I would like to keep her interested in shooting so I need a good load for her. I've ordered some Berry's 125 grn FP's (I like Berry's for the 40 S&W so I thought I'd start there). I've...

I just want to thank all you folks for all the knowledge you share here. I’m new to reloading but I’m in a very good place with it. About a year ago I got interested in making my own ammo. It was six months later that I finally made my first round. I taught myself, reading books and internet...

Lyman says start at 11.3 gns with 158 grn jhp max is 14.9 Speer says start at 13.8 with all of their 158 grn jacketed max is 14.8 I've got 158 grn magtech simi jacked soft point and cci primers. I'm thinking about starting at 11.5 gns and working up to 13.5. I just want some plinkers and I'll...

So, its three inch, round butt, has a nice trigger job, stainless, seven spead loaders, two extra sets of grips and 3 boxes of ammo for $450. The down side is its got the internal lock and he lost the key. I've heard of these things locking up while shooting and I've also seen a video (on...

Just a heads up. Midwayusa.com has Alliant Unique. I've waited some to order this so I figured I should share. Rick

I'm a newbee, and self taught loader. I've learned more here than any books I've read, and I've got a few. I've loaded and shot 701 rounds of .357 and .44 mag (logged every one) because you guys said I should and you were right. Already I'm looking back to see what I did and this has helped me...

Huh? Check out the second item date.

I got a load for my 357 that works but was running out of powder. I went today to bass pro shop to get alliant unique but came home with blue dot. You gotta use what you can get. So I'm thinking about starting at 9.6 gn under magtech semi jacked soft point 158 gn. Any input would be much...

I'm a new reloader and just got some Magtech 158 grn semi jacketed soft point bullets so far I've only loaded speer bullets with data from the speer manual. I started at 6.9 gns of unique and only went up a bit (I'm still in the reload to shoot cheap stage). Can I start with the same charge with...

I'm very new to reloading. I've loaded a total of 175 rounds for my RSB 44 mag. All went bang and I've loaded only to mid range. They "feel" light compared to factory loads but this is like stabbing in the dark to me. I'm a stickler for details and need to know how fast they are going. Does...
