What bullet weight are you looking at? For practice and plinking loads unique and universal or power pistol are good choices. For your hotter loads look for bluedot, Longshot, 800x, AA7, and AA9 and...

This is the exact same issue I get with this bullet when I let the length get too long. When I crank my seating die down a little more like Gary says above, the rounds run just fine in my CZ, Glock,...
Just wanted to add an update to this thread. I ran 300 more rounds through the gun today and made a small adjustment to my grip and had zero issues. The gun locked back after the last round every...
To be fair I use a thumbs foreword grip when I shoot so my thumb may be pressing on the slide lock while I was shooting. This was my first outing with this gun so I'll have to pay close attention my...
Picked up a new H&K VP9 to add to my stable. I've been wanting a 9mm range toy to take out when I go plinking and was looking at various pistols. Having owned Glocks in the past I enjoyed their...

I shoot the Lee 356-120-tc in my cz75 compact with no issues. Just ran a test not too long ago with the same boolit tumble lubed, powder coated, and regular lubed and they all shot and grouped...

I may have to pick some up and test it out.

Saw these new powders on the shelf at the local cabelas and was curious as I had never seen or read anything about them before. Did a few google searches and gleaned some information about them. I'm...

I just had the same thing happen to me with a new 6 cav Lee 452-230-tc/tl mould that I was using. The screw that holds the sprue plate when the mould is closed had worked itself loose. Tightened it...

Can't go wrong with Unique, WSF, or Universal. They are all about the same burn rate and the load data is almost interchangeable. They tend to fill the case pretty well so less chance of a double...

If you don't have one already, try and pick up a hot plate to pre warm your molds prior to casting. When I started using my hot plate it helped to get good boolits quicker and make casting sessions...

I have shot the 45 colt NOE rnfp 250 grain boolits out of my 45acp s&w m&p and found them to shoot very well, however found my best accuracy with the faster powders like bullseye and tightgroup. The...

Unique is great with cast in 40. I get my best groups with the slower powders like HS6, Longshot, and 800x. Hope you have luck finding Unique where you are. Around here it's as rare as Hens teeth. I...

If you can find some 800x it works really great in 40 s&w full house loads. It's known as a shotgun powder so can be seen on shelves when the pistol powders are gone. Downside is its a flake powder...

Wow, way way different. This stinks. Was on it two days ago. So sudden without a warning!:cry::cry:

Had some extra cash burning a hole in my pocket and decided to pick up a RCBS 45-270-SAA to feed my Colt 45 Bisley Blackhawk and my Colt 45 Puma 92. This is my first Iron mold so I was a little...

Holy smokes, is that stuff made with baby unicorn tears or something? I think I'll stick with bull plate!

This thread is dedicated to the nastiest pieces of brass that you have come across either as range pickups or having been spit out of your own gun.. My two best are these gems:

I shoot the lee 230 grn round nose tumble lube, 230 grain truncated cone, 230 grain round nose, and 200 grain SWC (h&g clone) in both my Taurus PT1911 and M&P and all feed well and shoot great. I...

Just send me a PM with your email address and we can hook up. You really can't go wrong with a NOE mold from Al. I've bought 4 from him and have picked them all up in person and he is an awesome guy...

Not sure what part of utah you are in but if you're ever in the pleasant grove area you can swing by and I can give you some lee 9mm boolits to try out. I have 120-TC, 124 round nose tumble lube, 124...
I love 800x in both 9mm and 40s&w. Very accurate powder and cheap too! Not for mouse-fart loads though. Definitely in the warm-hot load range.
