      Why so expensive?

      Yes, that is exactly the ammo what I was asking about. And they, like almost all places, are out of stock.

      Why so expensive?

      That would explain it, Arcamm. And I see the American Eagle (which is the cheaper, lower line of Federal) listed on Brownells, but it's even out of stock.

      Why so expensive?

      I know this particular type of ammo is currently rare and hard to find. But why would it be so expensive and this site only has two boxes? Almost every site I have looked has been out of stock. It usually sells for just over $400 a case of 900 rounds. Any ideas?

      Looking to build/buy a AR-9

      Yes, that is the exact buffer I used in both builds and I used a standard carbine buffer spring with no spacer. As I may have said, both have been working flawlessly for a while now.

      Looking to build/buy a AR-9

      I don't believe there is a "standard" 9mm lower. But to answer your question, the PSA uppers will "fit" a standard AR style lower. I guess it would depend on which lower you pin your PSA upper to whether it will work or not. AR9s are similar to the AR308 (AR10) platform with respect to...

      Looking to build/buy a AR-9

      I just used the PSA buffer for 9mm. It is the correct weight for 9mm and cheaper than the heavier buffers from other companies. I also just used the standard AR15 Carbine spring in a standard Mil-Spec buffer tube. Both my Colt style and Glock style have been flawless.

      Looking to build/buy a AR-9

      Yes, with PSA they don't require a modified 9mm hammer with their carbines. I built two PSA 9mm carbines in 16". The first one was back when they offered "Magwell inserts" to accept Colt style magazines into a standard AR lower. Later I built one around their Glock mag lower. If you have...

      Forging mark / logo on AR receivers?

      Thank you for explaining. I probably have no way of knowing who did the machine work. Oh well, great and useful information. Thanks again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      Forging mark / logo on AR receivers?

      Here is the same logo on an anodized upper receiver. I zoomed in to see the logo better.

      Forging mark / logo on AR receivers?

      I have seen this logo mark on quite a few 6061-T6 forged lower and upper receivers. As you may be able to tell in the photo, the mark on this lower is just rear of the trigger opening on the right side (with buffer tube towards you). It looks like an old skeleton keyway hole in a door or...

      Brass Shining Made Easy!

      I also like the Dawn and Lemishine method of wet tumbling only after depriming.

      357 Sig won't chamber or very tight

      Thanks. Got everything and it sure works as advertised. Loaded my first batch of rounds with Precision Delta 124 grain JHP over 12.5 grains on AA#9 using Dillon dies. They all fit my new gauge and shot well in my Glock 20SF with Lone Wolf barrel. Thank you all for the great advice.

      357 Sig won't chamber or very tight

      I ended up ordering an RCBS Rock Chucker, the Lee Bulge Buster Kit, and a Lee Factory Crimp die in .357 Sig. I have the press all mounted and set up. Only waiting on the FCD and I will see how it all works out.

      357 Sig won't chamber or very tight

      I screw it into the toolhead until it hits the shellplate with the ram up. Then I slowly screw it down a little at a time while working the ram until the handle gives a significant resistance at the top of the stroke. I have not modified or milled off some of the bottom of the die...

      357 Sig won't chamber or very tight

      Thanks for the detailed explanation of your process. I think I will get an additional .40 sizing die and size the case diameter first just as you and Buff7mm have stated. Thanks for your advice. I just need to place an order now (or I could just remove my Dillon .40 die from it's toolhead...

      357 Sig won't chamber or very tight

      I'm sure I would be able to fabricate something to make it work for the "push through" method. It would be a bit tedious and time consuming, but may work well enough to make it worth while.

      357 Sig won't chamber or very tight

      I just ordered the 357 Sig gauge on eBay from your source. Thanks for the info, Buff7mm.

      357 Sig won't chamber or very tight

      I don't own a single stage press and don't believe the Lee Bulge Buster Kit will work with a progressive press with a shell holder type system.

      357 Sig won't chamber or very tight

      Hello. I just read a great three page thread here called "357 Sig case prep" which is great information, but still had some questions and didn't feel like hijacking someone else's thread. I load 14 different pistol and rifle calibers on a Dillon 550B and have almost 15 years experience...
