Oops. Thanks for the correction.

I've been out of the loop for a while so maybe I've missed something. I realize how tempting it is to use shellholders for this purpose, however... I thought it had been established several years...

Even though the autoprime system looks like a cheap kids toy, it actually works surprisingly well. As others already pointed out, a little common sense while setting it up and it'll work fine for...

Huh, I read this "entire" thread before posting last night, but somehow I missed this one which is only two posts above mine.

Congrats to the new reloader. ENJOY!

BTW, I'd suggest keeping on...

I tend to fall into the Lee bashing category more often than not. I own a fair amount of Lee stuff, including the LM, hand press, challenger and LCT. I also have a rock chucker and LNL AP. Overall...

I've found that as a general rule for life, whenever someone asks me to do something I don't want to do I reply with a simple "no" and absolutely nothing else. This results in a...

Does this mean you've been reloading lead for 25 years and are just now realizing you've got a leading issue? Or, does this mean that after 25 years of reloading jacketed bullets you've just...

I mostly load for hand gun, so on the press is the usual method. The LNL-AP primes kinda so-so but it works well enough most of the time so I still use it. I use the forster vibraprime to load the...

CCI primed strips are available at Midway and Powder Valley as well as many others I'm sure. Often available when nothing else is.

Noe and MP make excellent molds, you can't go wrong with either. I've never used one of NOE's hp molds though so can't comment on that aspect. I have several NOE non-hp molds and I'm very pleased...

Yeah, I've had good results with PC as well. Was going to mention it earlier but figured this thread is really about swaging during seating. Of my 3 9mm's, the Sig 938 will take anything without...

There are members here who can make custom plugs for m-dies. Buckshot has made quite a few for me. Because 9mm has proven to be so picky for me, I have a whole range of plugs to accommodate the...

To the OP. Just curious about a couple of things, no intent to be a smart ***. If you build your own, why would you opt for an RIA, or any off the shelf 1911? Other than not being JMB designed, do...

Was there some promo code or something like that? I ordered 6000 on Thurs and was charged the hazmat. I don't subscribe to their newsletters though.

This bullet sized to .358 works great in my 938, lubed or powder coated. BHN 10-13. Zero leading. It's a clone of the Lee 120 CN but with a larger lube groove. Long boring story short, turns out...

Not all 380's can chamber bullets heavier than 100gr, if that much. You can only seat fairly shallow before the cases buckle. Not all 9mm's cycle very well with bullets lighter than 115gr. Depends...

Except that swc's generally seat much deeper than RN.

Is this the Lee TL or grooved bullet? Neither of my RIA's will reliably feed the grooved bullet, but neither have any trouble with "true" H&G 68 clones. The Lee has a pointier nose. I think the...

I'm going to suggest that your choices are generally a bit big for this cal. As always, it just depends on your gun. My wife's P238 couldn't even take the Lee 105 swc. Many folks successfully use...

I'll bet there's a sticky for that!

A gc'd bullet seems to do a pretty good job of "scraping" out lead. I usually fire two of 'em at the end of a session. If there's any lead at all left behind, a quick swipe with a choreboy'd brush...

For cheap, the Lee 148 bullet is pretty good. I also have a 155 NOE 5 cav I like a lot better. I have no complaints with the Lee bullet, I just don't care much for the quality of their molds.

My LC9 will take up to .360, depending on brass.

Opps! Guess I just can't get my head wrapped around the idea of an S&W NOT being a wheel-gun. :bigsmyl2:

If the .358's will jussst push through each throat with your thumb, you should be ok.
