Ok, so this is my situation: I load for 9mm major in the 1100 and the press is dedicated for this. I also have another recipe for 9mm that I shoot with a carbine in competitions. This is done in a...

The spring didn’t break. It kinked rendering the primer mechanism dead. Ordered one from Lee for free. The spring is very sturdy though. I think I was lowering and raising the ram to test the priming...

I finally got my six pack pro press few days ago. Already broke the primer feed spring. But other than that, seems like a solid press. I can answer any questions you guys might have.
Guys I got one of those damned Turkish bull pups and seems they mostly like heavy loads. I have a bunch of 7/8 Lee slugs that I want to use and I have titewad and other powders I could use. I’m...

Another thing, I believe you can leave your email on products out of stock and you'll get an email once its back in stock.

Also, the little there is, flies off the shelves. You almost have to be there the day they stock it to guarantee you get some. I just happened to be at bass pro the other day and they had some...

Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Does anyone know why hornady discontinued this measure. I am trying to buy one to reload shotshells with black powder and really liked this one. It’s just a PITA to remove each hull from press to add...
Thanks. I had the 10lbs spring prior to the 13. That's why. Problem has since been solved.
My experience backpacking comes from Alaska. I would never leave the house without my 44 magnum revolver!
Went to the range again and tested those loads although I only shot 5.7-6.0grs. Noticed the sweet spot is 5.9grs with the 13lbs recoil spring. No issues afterwards.
Thanks all. I realized the OAL was too deep, so I seated higher in the case. Also, came to find out that the perfect functioning with the comp, load, and springs was: 5.9grs of WAC with a 13lbs...
Thanks guys. Yeah the last two were ruptured by pressure. I was doing a ladder system to find the ideal load for a g34 built for competition with a compensator. After receiving some feedback, I...
The missing primer was a result of an explosion due to high pressures. If look closely, the last two cases from left to right are broken. No chrono bud.
Thanks again. I played a bit with the OAL and from the longest, it started chambering at 1.085". So I loaded a few of these from 5.7 to 6.4gr and also changed the recoil spring to 10lbs. We'll see...
Thanks, Yeah, they were all fired from my G34. As for the firing pin, it was the competition firing pin spring. I researched and these are the breech face's mark.
