They are using double torches. If you can heat the neck and shoulder up quick enough, and let it cool off, then great. If you slowly heat that same area, I think you'll see different results, ie. ...

Give the man the data, and you risk error in communication. Give the man the link, he can now infer his own judgment. And come back with more to learn than which powder, something no one can say...

WSR primers let my Colt 6920 go full auto on me. 23 rounds into a 30 round mag, I was able to hit the mag release. She wasn't coming up for air....

I now only use CCI mil-spec for all my...

Its gruel. And only 1 letter short from cruel...

Anybody chambered 22 TCM in a rifle? Seems like that would be neat. But I'd probably make a "22 Practical" and take 9 necked down to 22 for brass availability...

Y'all are absolutely right, water dropping is not necessary to anneal brass. Brass work hardens and the ONLY way to soften or return it back to original state is through heat. HOWEVER, rapidly...

You have two- not entirely unrelated- different issues. With fill out, there are several options. Assuming the mold is properly vented, you can try adjusting pour speed. Each of my molds have...

Also, I have noted the bulge buster- while speeding operation- is an unnecessary add-on. While it allows for complete push-thru of the round into an upright hopper (kinda hard to imagin... no shell...

I respectfully disagree, HeavyMetal. The Lee FCD solves many "problems" that occur in reloading- mainly cast- bullets for autoloaders. We try to shove heavyweight lead projectiles into tapered...

Good thing I printed out all the calibers I cared about! Damn, got a 7-08 since then......

While I love the Remingtons I have, the 1911-s, revolvers, and shotguns that I've seen as of late have had poor finishing. This tells me that it is indicative of the brand now and not just a line......

So long as it stays away from ammunition and primers!!!!!!! I run it down barrels too, but not on any weapons I keep loaded.

Enjoy your RIA and welcome to the 1911 club!! Before you curse the thing and throw it over feeding issues, definitely try multiple mags and quality ones if you can get them. Lookup original GI...

Pick up the Lee Factory Crimp Die when you can, they are relatively inexpensive and ensure everything feeds. It does less sizing than the size die for sure and has no effects on accuracy for me. ...

btroj..... you crack me up!!!

I can see both sides- there really are many things that a loading manual cannot describe or areas they leave sparse. That is what we do in the forums, fill in the...

[QUOTE=Captain Capsize;2670852] I am now loading and shooting copper plated .224 39 gr. boolits that were made for .22 magnum. Much better accuracy.

Where did you find these? What velocity are...

WOW. What will you do when the first round of loads don't group? There's no reason to go flying off the handle that way, they gave you very sound advice. Low on Money and can't buy the manual?...

Waksupi- If doing the nitre bluing in a lead pot, would it not attack and eat at the aluminum walls? I would think this would be done in stainless for best results...

51 gr of 3031 was enough for me.............................

I size them all to 358 now and let it go. Simplifies the luber/sizer changeouts for 380, 9, 38 and 357. I do run the 380's thru 357 push thru to limit case bulging

White Label lubes can be ordered in stick form, yes. The BAC is a blend of Carnauba Red and NRA 50/50. The 50/50 in it leaves a wonderful smell of honey from the beeswax. I notice none of the alox...

Where can you find information regarding CH4D dies? All I am seeing on their site are reloading dies. Do they even still make swaging equipment?

^^ Then its like the rifle setup? I was wondering how that could work....

Loading as cast might give you chambering issues. If so, order the Lee Factory Crimp Die. It sizes the case and irons out any wrinkles or bulges. Confusingly, their bulge buster is an attachment...

I've had good luck with a Lee 102 gr. RN, sized at .357 (.355 and .356 didn't work well, so....) and got groupings with TiteGroup and HP 38. Unique didn't do so well, surprisingly. Also decent...
