The recommended slight roll crimp does the two things it's supposed to do, IMO. In the semi autos (M52 and the Clark conversions) it reduces any follow-feeding problems and keeps the BBWC or HBWC...

IMO I've always used the HBWC with a slight roll crimp for my M52 and the Clark .38 on the 1911 frame. Your projectile and powder charge seem perfect.
Personally, I don't like taper crimps on...

Don't overlook Killough Shooting Sports in Winters TX . Good pricing and choices in .22lr and .177 projectiles.

For me, it's easy-peasy. Set up a dedicated Lee single stage press with a de-capper die. When stroking, go slowly, looking for when the decapping pin just touches the primer, then squeeze a bit...

I'm with OutPost75 on this one. The Redding Profile Crimp is adjustable and tailors my loads to perform at 25 and 50 yards.

I don't shoot CO2 anymore since I sold my Steyr competition pistol, but I did purchase a Walther/Hammerli gun which is compressed-air powered. Since I have to travel some distance for competition, I...

I made my own auto-eject on my 450 by milling the shell plate platform so that the finished round would have a place to get kicked out of the shell plate after being crimped. It was decades ago and I...

Most of the competition-level compressed air guns run near or above $2000. On the used market, you'll see them around $1500. At that price they should have two cylinders, adjustable sights and...

I have this airgun. It's a compressed air ONLY piece, not CO-2 or other. I bought a new "small" pony tank from Amazon which I took to my local scuba shop. They did the safety test and put 3000+...

I agree with most posters ... I've used RCBS dies in my 450 and several 550s. Some times I need the hex lock rings and sometimes the round lock rings (and of course my RockChucker) .No adapters...

For the 717, it's not difficult to do a trigger job also. Disassembly is no big deal. The interface of the trigger and the sear interface can be smoothed, improving the trigger feel.

Thanks! Good information. Now I have 1200+ usable primers to use. :Fire::Fire:

For those still looking for Shell Holders among the various suppliers, I stumbled onto this:

Thanks for the info. I'll use them in my practice reloads.
Found these two 100-count sleeves of unfired Winchester No. 120 Staynless Primers in the back of the vault.
Can remember where I got 'em but they're clean and shiny.
Sleeve is cardboard with...
I'm able to scan each of the 6 pages and convert them to PDFs, but can't combine them into one big file.
Suggestions?
This first one is 5 of 6. The second page is 1 of 6.
I found this as I was cleaning out some files. Haven't seen it here in this forum, but thought I'd offer it to anyone who wants/needs it.
It's a 4-page list of designs, both new and old. I've...

I "lost" a plastic cap for a powder filler. Call to RCBS ... no problem; replacement on it's way. Always pleased with RCBS Customer Service. :bigsmyl2:

Interesting that nobody has mentioned the Don Nygord (now deceased) pellet "uniformer". Simple 2-piece die and pusher that he sold. Scour the online message groups and eBay. Nygord sold buckets of...
W231 has always been my choice over BE. It's a lighter weight powder (by 10%) and burns much cleaner.
