Same for me too. I check every piece after sizing and always have some that need a trim. I will say though, brass length was way more important for the .30 carbine Blackhawk I had than my Carbine....

For over 35 years of reloading, I had never used any primer other than US made (CCI, Win, Rem, Fed). A few years ago I stumbled into a bunch of Fiocchi primers at an estate sale. This was during...

Until you find your mold, check Steinel Ammo. They offer a couple different cast .268 cast (checked and coated) for the Carcano, a 150gr and 162gr. Like others here, my Arisaka will tumble smaller...

Yes, exactly this. Happened to me when I first used a 450 ….. lesson learned.

Plus… M2 Ball was issued in 5rd clips for the BAR too. There was a magazine loading tool that one used to fill the mags quickly.

Is your question about Henry Manufacturing rifles or the Uberti (and others) clone of the 1860 Henry repeater?
I'm waiting on our club Labradar users to start selling theirs to buy the new Garmin's. We had our first a couple of weeks ago - sold for $400 but there are more to come.

I believe this subject is exactly why casters often complain about molds throwing too small of boolits. I prefer Lyman#2 (at least my alloy version of it) for all rifle shooting. Is it necessary,...

I know there are those that are starting to experiment with casting zinc boolits. Honestly, I really hope that doesn't catch on as I get a lot of my lead from harvesting the berms at my range (makes...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
All the others here have diagnosed the issue - shot in an unsupported chamber, i.e. Glocks. Yes, the Lee bulge buster works (I have one) but if you load a lot of 40S&W, the best/fastest way to take...

I also love my Dillon SDB (I’ve had it since 2002). That said my Hornady LnL has taken over most of my mass produced pistol ammo. I still use the SDB for .38 spl and .45 ACP but it’s slowly being...

It’s a rainy day today so a good time to anneal. Here is .35 REM.

One of my favorites for the .38 special. 3.2 gr of Bullseye has been my load for years.

I doubt if that affects their bottom line.

I shoot for .002 under bullet diameter - .308 expander for a .310 boolit. Works perfect for my 03’s.

After 45 years and 10’s of thousands of rounds with my 1911, I’ve developed a callous in the web between my thumb and forefinger of my right hand. Even though, I still get pinched and it bleeds...

Concur with others that said they are fine primers. I got a bunch of LR and SR at an estate sale 5 or so years ago (I'm still going through them) cheap! There was a bunch of guns and reloading...

I bought a 311291 mold specifically for my 1940's era M94. Cast up a bunch and when loading up my first round found out my rifle has too tight of a throat for that boolit at recommended COAL. I've...

One of my cherished possessions is an older S&W M&P revolver (1920's made pre model 10) that belonged to my Great Uncle Henry. He spent his career as a police officer for the Southern Railway. ...

Absolutely 100% accurate. I’ve never heard an acceptable explanation on how an unintentional discharge was an “accident”.

I just picked a brick of Winchester LR for $75 at my LGS (yeah, I was surprised to see them too!). They seemed to be well stocked with all sizes with the exception of large pistol
