Huh, I'm feeling pretty dumb right about now. Been looking at the 3rd edition on the computer and the 4th edition in the reloading room and had some sort of blindness to that #358665. Looks like that...

Hello everyone,
I am hoping I can draw on the experience of everyone here and possibly anyone with Quickload.

Almost forgot, my old man and his 94 Winchester was out with us testing some little plinkers I have been working up for him. So, I guess it all fits.

Looks like a bunch of us all think alike! I took this Sunday and Monday off a few months ago (I work weekends) in preparation for a range trip for all of my Great War rifles and have been getting...
So little background... I bought this 586-8 back in July but did not shoot it until last month. It shot real well with Keith 171 grain SWCs in both 38 special (5gr Unique) and 357 (12, 12.5gr 2400)....

Well, this thread bit me. My old man has been wanting a press just for basic processing of 9mm and 30-30 brass while he is sitting around his house (he loads at my place). I was keeping an eye on lee...

Looks like you have a ton of information here already so I might as well pile on. I have a Garand that gets fed only lead using an Accurate mold which produces a 222 grain boolit (before check and...
I was just about to ask how adjustments went on the rough county and maybe try and switch my order... Just confirmed that I should stick with the target style. I've been thinking about cancelling my...
Mind if I ask if that is the Rough Country or the New Model Field? Ive had a "New Model Field" sight for my SBH on order since October.
Just out of curiosity, lots of 44-240 and 44-245 recommendations here. Is there a reason the 44-250-k hasn't popped up? Recently entered the 44 world and it is the only mold I have for it at the...

As was already mentioned the NOE expander plugs are really fantastic. I probably have 15 of them for the various things I reload, couldn't be more happy with them.

To more directly answer your original question there can be several things to look for either for collector purposes or from a shooters perspective. For shooters probably the big key things would be...

I know it was mentioned above, but if you are looking for a M1 to be a shooter the Service Grade Garands from the CMP are really hard to beat. I have gotten two over the last few years and have...
Well I am a little late to this party so I will pretty much just echo what others have said. When I started loading for 32ws I was using what I had for 8mm which meant the 323470 Loverin. I sized...

I'm on the newer side to all of this but if they wanted to treck across the river to Portland I could help with the basics. Looks like it is covered but the offer is there if they need a backup. I...
With Benny Hill and John Mclane what's not to love!
Hey guys, I thought I would post this both as an oddity that I haven't run across before and also a heads up for those that use range pickup brass. My range has a policy where you are only supposed...

That's funny, I've had the same thought ruffing around in my head. Right now they are in their little baggies but I know that at some point they are going to wear out and be loose. I have been...
Well guys, I know this thread is a little old but I figured I would post some initial results from yesterday as I am pretty stoked. Using converted 223 brass and Berry's 110 grain .30's I loaded 5...

It is great to hear from you GabbyM! This thread is a bit old and it is funny re reading it and seeing how far I have come since starting with this bullet. I originally selected this style from the...
Its a bit of work making these cases, but fiddling in the workshop with some tunes or a podcast on is a good way for me to relax anyways. Plus, it is hard to beat the price and availability of 223...
Already made up 5 dummy rounds to let me check the cycling by hand and ensure that my crimp was not breaking the copper plating. Everything looks to feed without a problem at all. Hard to say what it...
Ok everyone, I am hoping some of you folks on here have been down this road and can hopefully help me find a place to start. What I am looking for is a safe place to start using Unique and or RedDot...

Congratulations!!!
Now to the bad news, the one you got is so pretty you will not want to shoot her.
The good news, it gives you a reason to get another Garand to be your beater and range gun!
