Forum: Single Shot Guns
I purchased one in the 1960s for the princely sum of $3. I used to enjoy shooting it with ammo that I reloaded. I only had 50 cases. I sold it in 2002 but wish that I had kept it.

It impacted my wife. Last week she told me "don't you ever take me to to a theatre without you having a concealed carry"

In my testing, one coat of Harbor Freight red shake & bake PC adds .0005

I just went to the basement and slugged the bore - measuring with a good quality micrometer = .355
This is with a Tanfoglio Witness 9mm, which is the only pistol that I am currently using to test...

If .356 lubed lead bullets work fine in 9mm Luger then what is there about powder coating that would require a larger bullet?

Last weekend I cast and Powder Coated (PC) some more bullets (Lee 356-124-2R), as before except this time I did not size after PC. Using a high quality micrometer (real micrometer, not caliper ) I...

Ok, I made some progress. I think that it is the Factory Crimp Die (FCD). I loaded up two rounds - one without using the FCD and one using the FCD. Then I pulled the bullets with an inertia puller...

Follow-up: Last weekend I cast and Powder Coated'd (PC) some more bullets (Lee 356-124), as before (see post #12 above) except this time I did not size after PC. Using a high quality micrometer (real...

I've been thinking - if I size .356 once only before PC, the final size should be between .357 and .359. However, if I size after PC the entire bullet will measure .356 but the lead portion will be...

Exact same everything, including charge. Only difference is PC instead of Alox.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Except - the exact same cast lead bullet, lubed with Alox, sized in the same .356 sizer, loaded with the same dies and shot from the same pistol do NOT keyhole. Keeping everything the same except...

I don't know how long my friend waited but last week I shot some that I loaded last month and some of them keyholed. I only have a .356 sizer die. I'm wondering about experimenting with "when" I size...

I replaced mine after 5000 rounds but it didn't really look like it needed to be replaced. I have found that the press works much better in general, if I live it with a dry lube . I lubricate it...

I am also having keyholing problems with a Lee microgroove bullet. I convinced another shooter to try powder coat and he is having the exact same problem. However he shoots several hundred of these...

I went through this thread and stripped out colors that worked with one coat using dry Shake & Bake. I eliminated wet and electrostatic methods and multi-coats because only the dry Shake & Bake...

I just purchased 65 pounds for $1.19 per pound including postage to my door.
I own 2 Witness 9mm and both shot low before they were broken in but after a few hundred rounds they moved up to dead center bullseye
Forum: Our Town
Other powders don't cling on me, just Bullseye. I'm using HP38 now and it meters well.
Forum: Our Town
Personally, I don't like to use Bullseye. It has a lot of static cling in the measure and, as a result, it drops a bit irregular.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I inspect as I load, for splits, dents, etc., but, admittedly, don't look at the primer because, as I said, crimped primers don't present a significant problem. If I feel primer seating resistance I...

Just back from the Gun Show. I bought my primers there - no tax or shipping. Winchester SPP $30 per 1k and CCI $25 per 1k.
Forum: Our Town
The only small pistol primers that aren't sold out are Remington and Tul-Ammo - the most expensive and the cheapest. I'm going to a gun show tomorrow so I'll hold my order until I see what is there.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Hmmm? My classic turret has no problem decapping crimped primers. I usually don't notice them until the next step on the press, the prime step. A crimped pocket won't usually seat and I feel it. I...
