Huda thunkit. Thanks for the update, i'll have to get one.

The print is a little different then what is pictured below it and was added later for revision.
The seating area was a tad too long in the prototype. The mouth expander taper should have been a...

On my next rifle build, (an LR-308 kit from DPMS in .260REM) will have a Millet TRS-1 illuminated Mil-Dot on a one piece QD rail. The other option will be something from Horus with a TruMor2 reticle....

I really wish I took photos of my SPS stock mod...
One of my sayings is; pictures SAVE a thousand words!
Sadly, everything is torqued down and the scope is where it needs to be so I really don't...

It was less about the 4.6'er and much more about the 127F temps, scorpions, liberals, cost of everything and sand storms. We moved.

It's so hot here in Arkansas that you can't fart outside without setting your draws on fire!

In the short time I lived out in Desert Hot Springs, ours went out as well.
It started shaking the whole house then quit.
The very next week, I woke up to the house shaking again.
I started...

Well, it's official... The USA has gone to HELL.

10 days? What forecast did you read?:groner:

I use Universal from Hodgdon. Also 4gr. for 9mm and 5gr. for .45ACP as above.
My moulds are just simple 'ol Lee TL round noses; 124 and 230gr. respectively.

Here is a plug I made from scratch. Testing is in progress...

The only scrap metal I had was 1/2" round bar so I used some heat...

Assuming you use Lee dies, the expander die doesn't go to full seating depth. Only enough to bell the mouth.

I fixed this same problem by modding (search for my post) my expander die and "Leementing" the mold. (Dropped average size is now .3585") The brass was squeezing the boolits below .356", horrible...

I was very disappointed in my Rem. 700 SPS-V because the brass would have huge gouges in them.
After studying this for a while, I stoned and polished the heck out of the feed lips(?) until the...

My 9mm leading problem was due to my Lee expander plug.
Look at this sticky: 38/357 Lee powder through expander in 9mm die mod
Basically, my case was swaging the boolit down to .352 from .358!
To...

Over achiever...

Hmmm, lots of variables to account for. How accurate are your powder charges? Any leading in the barrels? What is your pulled boolit dia. after loading into your brass? Are you holding your breath?...

Thanks! I was afraid my wife would beat me up if it went wrong. I had to get the lathe to support all of my hobbies.
I couldn't think of anything good for a name and that was the first thing that...

My wife and I went to the range this weekend and her 9mm, "Tinkerbell" had some leading.[smilie=b: I searched the forums and found this thread. Great info:!:

Here is what I did to make my 9mm...

THANK YOU!!!
I did enjoy what this powder had to offer in my 9mm loads.
The only "fouling" in my barrel after 50 rounds was boolit lube (45-45-10).
They did smoke quite a bit more and smelled like...

Sounds interesting and I have thought about doing this on my next batch.
Thanks for the advice, it gives me a little validation for a go-ahead on the existing rounds.
From the way they were...

That's what I did!
I know WHAT went wrong, I want to know WHY it went wrong.

I'll probably just run through these last rounds to get rid of them. The light recoil should help me practice my shooting fundamentals and mechanics without the recoil distraction.

My next visit...

I used the Hodgdon website to find the starting load info before I loaded these rounds.
When you select "Clay's" it gives a value of 3.5gr and 716fps.
If "Universal" is selected, 4.5gr and 703fps....

It's the Hodgdon Universal Clay's. This has caused me great cornfusion when looking at load data.
