      Dillon XL750

      Dillon I have a Dillon 650 and do my .223 in two stages. I tumble, size, decap, and trim separately. I lube the brass. I use a separate tool head to size the brass. It only has two sizing dies, one full-size and a small base die for ammo I shoot in an AR-15. I full length size in a single...

      Drying Brass Methods

      Drying method for wet brass I wet tumble my rifle brass only. I don't see the need to do pistol as just a dry tumble works for me. I tumble in the summer and place the wet brass on a bath towel and roll it back and forth while holding the ends. I then spread out the brass on towels laid out...

      odd issue with 300 BO

      300 BO Did you bell the case mouth? I bell the mouth on my casings as I also use Berry's plated bullets. I found out that the case mouth would shave the bullet when seating and leave shavings around the case mouth. I belled the cases using a Lyman bell die for an M1 cartridge and it works...

      Stainless Pin Wet Tumbling- Gripe

      SS pin tumbling I use SS pins for cleaning rifle brass, 5.56 and larger. I use small pins and large pins depending on the caliber of the brass. I can tumble 1200 5.56 brass at a time using the same formula you use. I pour out the dirty water and rinse the brass by pouring clean water in to...

      Suppressor wait time?

      Suppressor wait time I applied in late February of this year and just got it mid-December. It took about 10 months. My last suppressor took about the same amount of time a couple of years ago. I talked to some who had rifle suppressors and they took about 4-5 months. Mine were for handguns...

      Lee classic question

      lee classic I started on and still have the Lee Classic cast iron single stage press. I have loaded thousands of pistol and semi-automatic rifle rounds, .308 and .223 as well as 5.56. I used full length sizing dies for the .223 / 5.56 and changed to small base sizing dies after some early...

      Fiocchi primers

      I have used Fiocchi primers in small rifle and small pistol. I tried them initially because of their price and how many were in each case, 1500 vs 1000. I have never had them fail to fire and they seat just fine. I also have fired thousands of Fiocchi .223 Remington 45 grain frangible rounds...

      .40 S&W Powder

      40 S&W loads I have tried a lot of different powders for 40 including titegroup, power pistol, and unique. I shoot 165's and have settled on Unique. I use a Dillon 650 and use a powder sensor to keep the charges consistent. Because Unique is a flake powder, I had some issues on the Dillon...

      .44 Special Loads

      44 special loads I shoot the 44 special for practice and have avoided using hard cast 240 swc to reduce the cost of each round. I have my supplier cast 215 grain rnfp bullets in soft lead. They are supposed to be for the 44 Russian but they shoot accurately out my 629 with a 6-1/2 inch...

      Do I have to have suppressor paperwork in my possession when I use it?

      Suppressor paperwork I have multiple suppressors and unless the range you are shooting at has police authority such as arrest powers, then it is none of their business. I had to go through the ATF background checks and an approval with the tax stamps, so my possession is legal. If I was doing...

      Shooter's World/Lovex

      shooters world powders I have purchased and used Shooter's World powders in rifle for 300 blackout and tactical rifle. When I purchased the powder at the gun store, I asked about any reloading information on the powders and they gave me printed handouts for Shooter's World powders. They are...

      Versacarry Holsters

      Versacarry I have purchased holsters, mag carriers, and belts from Versacarry. The belts are outstanding and the magazine holders mold easily to the magazines you want to carry. I have two OWB holsters which cover the whole gun. They take a while to fit the gun you are going to use as the...

      New to 45 ACP

      45 acp load I have been reloading 45 ACP for a while now and find that WST works with 200 lswc for me. I went to WST when there wasn't any powder available such as Bullseye and Titegroup, W231, etc. I find that 4.7 grains of WST and a 200 grain lead swc seated and crimped with the seating die...

      Which Optic for 7.63X39 Bolt Gun?

      Scope recommendations I have a CZ 527 in 7.62 X 39 and I shoot military ammo (Wolf). I mounted a Nikon 3 X 9-40 scope and put two shots through the same hole at 50 yards the first time I shot it with the scope. I don't need a better or more powerful scope than what I have.

      1911 Mags & Pricing

      1911 mags I have always believed that you should stay with the same round count magazines that your gun came with or was designed for. I have a Colt 1911 that came with 7-round magazines and I purchased 7-round magazines. I was able to find them online for about $12 each and they were OEM...

      state licensed instructor renewals

      Instructor renewal You should have gotten an e-mail from the Md. State Police before your certification expires which tells you what to do. If you are not an NRA handgun instructor and your Md. Correctional Training Commission Certification has expired, then you need to have another instructor...

      357 Sig won't chamber or very tight

      357 sig sizing I have loaded 357 Sig for a few years and have rarely found a die set that will size the brass properly. I believe that it is a problem trying to size both the case size and the neck at the same time with one die in one motion because the shoulder has to be sized as well. By...

      Really like WST in 45ACP

      WST I have been using WST for 45 ACP for about the last 3 years and have loaded lead only with it. 200 swc and 230-235 lrn. It shoots accurately with 4.8 grains of powder. I started using it when powder became scarce and W231 and Bullseye as well as Unique and Clays became hard to find. I am...

      Any RIA 45 fans out there?

      RIA 1911 I have a Rock Island 1911 in 10 MM. I wanted a 10 MM for a long time but didn't want to pay for Colt, Kimber. The EAA Witness and Glock were too big for me and I found the RI. Shoots great and handles the recoil well. The safety is stiff, but that could have been me damaging the...
