Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Got the RCBS small base die set in and resized 5 untouched 556 cut-offs. They worked perfectly! easy chambering and hand removal. Must be a very tight chamber as Popper mentioned.
Now to work on...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
These cases were fired from my PSA 556 upper which were also a mixture of once fired and some new. As far as re-trimming, when I shortened the Lee sizing die and bumped the shoulder back, the case...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
The case body, from the shoulder down and especially at the base. If the RCBS die does not cure this would lapping the chamber help or would it need to be done with a reamer?

I had some 45 acp that I last loaded in 1984. Don't even remember what powder I used. I just found them and they shot very well. Good grouping at 25 yards considering my eyes are 28 years older too!
Forum: Cast Boolits
Hi, old guy new to casting (sort of) . I shoot 380, 9mm, 38 spc. & 45 acp. all target rounds. I tried doing a search, but didnot find or couldn't understand the ratio. In layman terms, what ratio of...

I bought one to go along with my Loadmaster, like a lot of people, I have trouble with the priming station. Now I deprime and resize while watching TV and use the Lee newest hand priming tool. Then...
