+1 for expanding before trimming. It is a lot easier that way.

Yeah, yeah! Sure, sure! Like none of us ever discovered dies and bullets at the back of the shelf for a handgun or rifle we sold 10 years ago! or was that 20?? Its been so long that I don't remember!

WOW! That really sounds like mag problems to me. The only other possibilty in my mind is the mag catch holding the mag too low.

I suspect it was just bad primers. A few years ago, I had 8 bad primers out of 100 in a batch of Winchester srps. I sent them back to Winchester and they sent me a couple hundred replacements. It...

Just put the brass in and tumble it with some torn up paper towel. The paper picks up any residue from the brass and any graphite that comes off the bowl. I helps clean your tumbling media at the...

For those of you who find the .223 oppressive, I suggest dropping down to a .222 Rem. in a bull barreled Rem 700 BDL using a 45 gr. bullet. I think you might find that recoil manageable. I use mine...

I have a Littleton shot maker. I love that thing. Depending on the size shot I'm making;#9, 7.5 or #6, I can crank out anywhere from 60 to 130 pounds of shot in an average day. I use straight WW lead...

I have one of the bayonet type chronos. I had a similar problem with that. I had to increase the sensitivity quite a bit before it would register cast bullets.

GI carbines are nearly impossible to get an OOB discharge with due to the way they are made. There is a bridge inside the receiver that stops the hammer from striking the firing pin. secondly there...

I've got a nice little Colt .25 auto and like the rest of you insane people, I reload for it too. I've found that I always reload with Bullseye so I made a dipper out of a .22 rf case trimming it to...

You need to have the 3 inch loading dies. I have both the 2 1/2 and 3 inch dies for my 600 jr.

Mine is a long barreled 1873 and I use 8 gr of Unique with a 265 gr FPRN cast bullet. I have a Marbles tang sight on it and it will group under 1 inch at 50 yards. I've dropped several deer with it....

In some cases the Blue Book value is way above or way below current market values. It depends on whether the item is hot or not!

Only once did I ever have a batch of bad primers; 8 out 0f 50. They were winchesters. All of the other Winchester primers fired without a problem. All other brands fired as well. I thought it was the...

*LOL* I just put 5 rounds in the mag and don't worry about how much hangs down underneath!

You're good. I use 12.0 gr of 2400 With a GC'ed 115 gr bullet of the similar configuration. You should get good accuracy with that load. I usually poly coat mine, but I've shot them with LLA as well.

In my gun club we have several hundred members. Most of us reload. Out of all of those guys, there are only 2 whose reloads I would trust and they are strictly BY THE BOOK reloaders who don't racecar...

Your problem sounds like your OAL is too long. They won't feed into the chamber because they won't come up. The bullet is too long for the length of the feed channel. If you do manage to get it into...

I don't see any significant performance difference between them. I just happen to have cut my casting teeth on the 311291 so I tend to use more of them. I use home grown gas checks and polycoat them....

I've used thousands of Cheddite primers for my skeet loads. I use them with winchester primer data. No problems at all. And only one failure to fire. I've had more with Winchester primers! I can't...

I've been making smaller scores on powder too. 2 pounds of Herco, 3 pounds of 846 and 2 of Win 231 last week ($90). This wed. the same guy is bringing me a bunch of wheel weights and other lead. He...

I hear you guys crying. I'm not....YET. I still have 2 8# kegs of which I just opened the first one and have used less than 1 pound. Never the less, I'm going to be conservative in my use of it. I...

Someone left a .380 mag on the range a few years ago. I couldn't ID the make. I put a notice in our news letter, but nobody claimed it. It took 9 rounds, 3 more than the mustang mag. The mag catch...

When that happened to me, I took it out of the sizer, then slipped the ring back on. Then I wrapped the thread with leather and put it into a vice that was turned sideways over the work bench. I put...

I had a heritage that was so bad that the bullets were going through the target sideways at 30 feet, when they even hit the paper!. I sent it back to them. When it came back, it would at least keep...
