As far as lubing coated bullets I tend to use a small amount of Imperial Sizing Wax every fifth bullet or so, or when it starts to use more effort to push through the die. It depends on the die...

Gun has been sent back. As for not having enough mass for a blow back design, I don't think anyone has ever accused a Hi-Point design of not having enough mass.

As for the reason why my load data...

Jacket material is copper. As for powder bridging, I've never seen it happen with this powder measure. The pressure signs I was looking for would be on the primer, which is much thinner than the...

I took your advice and increased the load to 3.7 gr. of Bullseye. First three left the barrel, but accuracy did not impress me. The fourth one fired and suddenly my slide was pointing up at a 45...

I have a bit of a head scratcher here. My brother recently got a set of swagging dies at a gun show and has been happily swagging bullets. He shoots mainly .38 special and .357 magnum and has been...

It would be odd for brass with a S&B head stamp to not be boxer primed and to actually be made of brass. If in doubt of the material the cartridge casing is made from use a magnet to determine if it...

r1kk1,

Lee doesn't specify the alloy used in the documentation that comes with the dies. However the .309 die that I bought at the same time does squeeze the slug to .309. My alloy is WW with a...

Just to add to Bedbugbilly's suggestion of using a Lyman "M" die is that the Lee Universal Case Expander die is also an inexpensive option for expanding case necks in preparation of seating a cast...

Mdi,

The cartridge appears to be jamming at the case neck from the rub marks that I have been able to observe. I have made dummy rounds in an effort to experiment with weather seatting depth had...

Williamwaco,

I'm sizing after powder coating. I'm using dial calipers to measure diameter. Yes, I know I can get more precision with a micrometer, but for as long as I've used this caliper it has...

I'm not sure weather to post this here or some other area so if it's in the wrong place I'm sorry.

I've recently purchased a Lee .225 push through sizer to size powder coated boolits for my 5.56...

Payment sent by Pay Pal. Should be good in my Nagant.

Wolfer,

I hadn't even considered lapping the bore. I suppose it's simply something that I didn't consider since I never had a bore of this condition before. I think I'll try some form of fire...

I measured the neck of a fired case. It measured at 0.365. Not sure what significance that this measurement has but I do know that with a case thickness of 0.015 that a case could accept a 0.335...

Mikeym1a,

I know what you mean about them being different. If I were to sell this rifle it would be to then buy another M95 with (hopefully) a better bore. I took another look down the barrel...

I finally decided to slug the bore of an old M95 Steyr I have that had the unique ability to shoot on any part of the target at 50 yd. except for the center. It slugged out at 0.332 but I had noticed...

I think your material is too thin. I get the same results with Pat Marlins checkmaker with 0.009" aluminium flashing.

Decided to go out and finally do some testing in both my Hi Point 9mm Pistol and Carbine.

First from my pistol:

Winchester White Box ammunition. Not my best but it was cold.

I have the same problem here 00buck. Got a local srap yard that will buy them for $0.20/lb and sell for $1.00 a pound. I got around that problem with a want ad in the paper. Though, on refection now...

Did my experiment compairing between using spray glue vs. hair spray. Results seem to be about the same. Neither one had complete coverage in one coat. Though I do think the hairspray may have had...

I wouldn't think so. When the hairspray is used it is a thin coat of powder on the bullet. It's probably the closest to what the electrostatic method is like in terms of powder use. Can't say for...
