Thanks. I'm sort of toying with the idea of getting a... 9mm. Why I don't know, but I'm thinking about one of the new Hi Powers from Springfield Armory. Anyone try it one?

Good looking bullets and cartridge. I wasn't aware of that bullet, thanks for sharing. I can't imagine why they would discontinue it.

Sounds like good news to me. Thank you for sharing.

We have them around here as well. Plus some other good varieties with patterns. Once in a while they will get the baby barn swallows that nest on our porch. It's at that time I think about blasting...
You are correct, shortening the seat/crimp die at the base will work just fine.

Awesome, congratulatiosn. I'm interested in why you chose a shotgun with slugs? I would choose a cool levergun, but I never would have considered a shotgun with slugs.

You mean like... a book? Something akin to Cartridges of The World, but for bullets? Yes sir, I've been ruminating on that idea for a while. It may have to be in volumes, especially if I included...

Thanks for letting me know, and I'm glad that BulletMatch has helped both them and you. They are good to talk to and seem like good folks. I've never ordered from them, but I did receive a large flat...

Might keep in mind Missouri Bullet too ;-) I've had a few phone calls with them and will be receiving samples of all of their wares.
I'll see if I can dig that one out for you when I get into them...

I had one about 15 years ago. It was the glock 40 caliber model. It had a bad habit of stope piping on the last round. I tinkered on it quite a bit, and I was getting some advice over on KTOG forum...

I appreciate everyone sharing their experiences. I've not loaded CBC exclusively in a batch, but in processing mixed brass I have loaded it. I've never had a problem with it, and thought it was...

Yes, I have every sample from Oregon Trails and Rim Rock Bullets and they were gracious enough to send me their samples free of charge.
If there are any of their bullets you'd like me to cherry...

It's possible to melt them by excluding zinc, but because zinc melts at 787.2º which means you'd have to keep a very close eye on it, and that is hard to do without a PID.

That's interesting. I wonder if the T-7, and subsequently Redding shell holders, are machined to tighter tolerances than RCBS or Hornady.
Have you been able to see if the shell holders and dies...

Very nicely done. I agree with the others saying seal the bottom to keep wasps at bay. I had some under my bench, and I had to flip it and run.

You can't go wrong with the Marlin, a new one is okay, but I like the older ones, such as this 1894CL:

Thank you Larry for sharing that. I'll save it in my notes for future reference.

That would have been nice, but Lee did not give them to me. They did give me a healthy discount though, so when I'm through with them, I'll be able to recoup the money selling them as used.

I've updated my Spreadsheet to reflect the new Lee moulds/bullets.

Very nice indeed. Not something seen very often. I wonder if that was the inspiration for some of Lee's SWCs?
