I have been really satisfied with most all of my Lee equipment so far. The safety scale works well enough if you're willing to futz with it, same for the PPM... I have other manufacturer's equipment...

I just bought a Wilson trimmer. I was a little hesitant at first because of all the "extras" you have to get to make it work but the reviews made it an easy choice for me to go ahead and "pull the...

H4895 with a Lee "whack-a-loader" in .308 win. I remember it like it was last month... Oh wait, it WAS last month!!! The H4895 is still over half full and has since been joined by cans on H110,...
My "guesswork" stems from non homogeneous info contained in the three manuals I have and the fact that there is a range one can work within. Apparently TG has a reputation for being unforgiving of...
I have the Lyman, Lee and Hornady manuals and in the end stayed well within the parameters laid iut by all three but seeing what others are successfully (and UNsuccessfully..) using is interesting to...
Now if I can only scrounge up a spare $600 or so....
Looking to get a Chrono myself... Looks like an Oehler is in my future...
I am using the Hornady XTP's and from what I can see anything over 1.14 wouldn't be seated deeply enough for my comfort... After investigating the SEE phenomenon I believe it's only an issue with...
Thanks BC... I was so concerned about the charge I didn't really consider the OAL as much as maybe i should... I think i'm going to stick with the 4.5 charge as a baseline and fiddle with the OAL to...
Ok... Took my stuff to the range at lunch and the 4.5g outperformed (accuracy wise, I don't yet have a chronograph) the 4.2 by a good margin. I'm still going to break down the 4.8 as i'm happy with...
I actually did cycle the rounds I've made through the pistol and didn't have any hiccups... They were fully live so maybe that wasn't too terribly smart on my part... The XTP's I loaded just seemed...
Just looking for what will work best in my 19. As I said, I'm just loading 15 rounds each of these... Depending on results I'll load more. The max OAL listed in my manual is like 1.16 but the 1.135...
I am working up some loads to try in my Glock 19 and wanted to get some advice after spending quite a few days here (and other places..) looking for specific info. What i've read about TG (and the...

The good ole US govt has been trying to ban lead for years now... I don't currently cast my own boolits but if that happens what is the general consensus as to a backup metal?

I've actually had a little luck myself... Powder isn't any problem at all for me to find... I located a guy who had a few thousand rounds of .223 boolits and even stumbled onto the last two boxes of...

Whatever somebody may call it, if you are loading up on supplies out of concern that you win't be able to get it later.... Well, draw your own conclusion...

As a nOOB myself, I must have gotten on the last boat out... I started buying components a few months ago and now you can't find anything anywhere!! Fortunately for me i managed to get enough stuff...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Well I guess I know to go ahead and get the ISDW... Thanks for the heads up on that. I almost bought the one shot the other day... Glad i held off!!
What a difference a few days make.... Powder Valley's stock is pretty much gone now, except for some of the less popular styles...
Since I'm not looking to store up more than 1000 rounds for each weapon I'll be loading for I may just stick with the SS...

Great info here... I am a nOOb whi got a Lee SS press for Christmas and will be loading .30 Carbine along with 9mm Luger. I have carbide dies for both and was wondering if the jazz about not needing...
