I'm dreading the day I have to move my lead pile. I'm in a townhouse and built a box in the yard its all stacked in. It's been a long time since I looked inside BUT I remember stacking the lead in...

Definitely not enough lube. I barely lubed a batch and they ran fine through a rcbs size die. This Lyman die might be a hair tighter. I ran a case with the lanolin alcohol lube and it worked, little...

Diy lanolin lube mix. I’m gonna try soon letting the lube set longer. First case I just sprayed with tri-flo then 2nd case hit it with the alcohol lanolin mix BUT ran it right it. Works on other...

Got this trim/size die in 308 to use with a motorized press trimmer. Plan is decap/size 3/4 of the way in stage 1 and then trim and fully size in stage 3 with new trim/size die.

Out of 4 practice...

I got rid of my 10" pistol blackout. Being in california it was too confusing to figure out how to keep it.

I now have a 16" pistol gas blackout and currently have 1680 and shooters world...

I have 4895 and Tac on hand. I was thinking about getting at least 8lb of wc846 really only because it’s available.

I need to load for an M1A and also my grandfathers Rem 1903a3 30-06.

Would...

I just loaded 50rds of 308 on a 650 using 150gr fmj. The trimmers I have don’t chamfer (CTS trimmer and press mounted router trimmer). I was shaving ever so slightly some lead on the fmj which means...

I was going through a bunch of Dillon 650 caliber conversions so I could process some 308. I bought a used 650 and a bunch of conversion kits and spare parts 2 years ago.....just now getting to using...

I know there was legal drama with DAA and Karl Bibb. They threatened to bankrupt Karl with lawsuits and were able to say they ‘patented’ flipping the Bullets point down in their Mr. Bulletfeeder.

Thanks guys. Definitely had to file those tabs on the arms flat once they get flipped over. Filing them flat allows the arms to sit further flat against the press. I was able to remove the lock...

Anyone have issues switching the lever around in order to make a roller handle?

The small black nut and washer on each side the secure the handle come loose. If I tighten them too hard it makes...

I meant that when I loaded 45 colt I was told use the collet crimp crimp so the rounds can be used in both a rifle and revolver.

They are the same set of dies, hornady 38/357 sizing die and 38/357 seat/crimp. I backed off the crimp in the Hornady and put the collet crimp in the last stage for 357 or I put a taper crimp in the...

Thanks for the reply.

The collet crimp is my only option really. I don’t want to order a separate roll crimp and wait another week. I also don’t want to use the roll crimp that’s in my hornady...

These 357 will be semi hot rounds with 13.5gr if 2400 and with a coated 158gr rnfp bullet.

Manuals differ in OAL. Some have 1.590 and others have 1.550 or 1.570.

Bullet I’m using will need a...

Not what I'm talking about. Powder Funnels that go in the dillon powder measure.

You know, I read some used a 9mm taper crimp.

So I swapped out the newly bought lee 38sp taper crimp and spun a 8 year old hornady 9mm/38sp taper crimp in and viola, perfection. No lead or brass...

My start at 38 special did not start well today. First the pile of garbage vibra prime wouldn’t load Tula primers and this is with a replacement tray from costumer service.

Got dies setup and...

I’ve got 3 manuals as mentioned in the thread. None of the info is consistent.

definitely won’t be using a chrono. Just wants it loud and different than the 38sp plinking rounds.

I probably should have got half 158gr and half 130gr for more snap and powder in the 357. Bars...

From the manuals I have, Lyman 49th, Hornady 7th, bullseye is sub 1k FPS.

My brother in-law is splitting the case and wants some magnum style rounds.

I can some Blue Dot locally. That seems...

Not new to reloading, just to these calibers.

I don’t have time to order hotter powder for 357. Need to make due with what I got.

I read mixed reviews on little gun. I’ll do a little more...

158gr coated bullet. 16bhn

I've read 5.4-5.7 is mid range 231 load for 357

4-4.2 is good for 38 special.

Still collecting info though.

Target shooting. Nothing crazy.

The 158gr are SNS Casting 17bhn hi-tek coated.

I got 1000 brass for 38sp and 1000 357. Maybe make 200 of the 357 a little more pop.

I don't need super...

I'm going to reload some 158gr 357 and 38sp for the first time for use in a revolver. Much of my research shows 2400 or h110 as the go to powders for 357 mag loads. I don't have either of those nor...
