Why is that?
Does it affect burn rate or pressure or anything that would require not using it?

Thanks fellas.
I had also wondered about lead being too soft. Was kinda hoping experience with 45acp and anyone who has tried it in 9mm would fill in the details.
Still haven't got the press out,...

I'll be spending part of the weekend playing with the swag-o-matic and the rest of the toys in the basement, and as i primarily shoot 9mm, i can't help but think of cutting the wire to a length to...

I once acquired 1000 once-fireds which included a dozen or so Amercs. I had seen on the internet that they are only good for recycling. I don't follow advice well and I tend to only learn from...

That's what I was wondering. I could foresee an issue of it alerting a dog due to having residue or whatever and still being considered to have the substance in it, and didn't want to Duckduckgo "how...

They are pretty neat. They are more stable than modern shell holders because they are solid, but they are a total PITA to switch out.

Anybody do these with plated bullets? I ended up with 1000 plated 150gr projectiles.

I've never been a collector of these, but I don't throw stuff away. Do people trade for these? Are they legal to ship?

Got these three ram-shell holders (no idea what they are actually called) when i got my first batch of reloading gear back then. As it was my first reloading anything, it took me a sec to understand...

That's fair, I am a strong advocate of doing stuff just because and seeing what happens, I was mainly wondering if there was some sort of advantage to putting a 22cal bullet through a 30cal bore that...

I will be using a swag-o-matic to swage some GC'd bullets and will be needing to add some lube grooves.

I have got some lead wire on the way from Zbench, the price and quantity was reasonable to my needs.

I'm new here, so I am just wondering "why."
Yes, mine is a Lee. The idea was PC 'em for the 300BO. That, and it was part of a lot from craigslist.

What is the easiest way to find/identify dacrum? I don't do much in upholstery, but I hear it's in pillows and couches and stuff. Can it be pulled out of any random thingy and burnt or something to...

Thanks CH, that is exactly what I was trying to figure out about the vent.

As I've been playing with this thing more, I've gotten the hang of some things and then some questions to follow up. I have no experience with swaging and until recently have not done any serious...

Thanks Duke.
I should add the thing was suggesting using 32acp cases to form 9mm projectiles, not the other way around, but I see your point.
Last night I played around with it, formed some SWCs...
