I know this is an old thread but I actually do believe you now!I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t in any danger due to a difference of .10 or more on the brass.I also found that with all the brass...

I already have a bullet trap I bought off of eBay.Its a heavy duty sucker.Dont remember who I got it from but there is always one up for action.You should check it out.If your patient you can get one...

Sorry I haven’t posted since I started this thread but a lot of good responses!I ordered the lee 230 gr tc.If it doesn’t work for the gun I get I will melt me down and get a new mold,lol

What’s everyone thought on the best 45acp bullet to cast.Dont even have a 1911 yet but I might as well get me some bullets made for when I get one!

I am actually loading for a 357 rifle which limits me even more than a standard 357 revolver load.I also don’t know if I should use a magnum primer?

I’m having a hard time finding load data for this bullet.I know people had said to use a similar bullet and use that but I have three reloading books and don’t have a 158 gr or close to that in the...

I am using the Same bullets but now I am using Dillon dies instead of Hornady dies.To reply to Jim b I have tried tightening and loosening the shell plate and have all the stations engaged.I measured...

I just set up my new Dillon press and was just wondering when I’m getting 223 loads that say 2.200 in the manual and that are coming out of the press between 2.195-2.205 if that is ok.The longer...

Dillon square deal b,no question!keep in mind it only does handgun loads but boy does it do them well.Also the additional cost of each caliber you want to reload but it is well worth the money and a...

Does anyone know the answer to my last question.its my last two comments.any help would be appreciated.

I forgot to say that I would deprime,size,trim on a Lyman turret press I have then I would swage.I guess my question now is after all that what do I do with station one on the Dillon?Leave it...

So if I want to decap,size trim and measure in the first step that just means station 1 is really used for nothing right?Would I just put the cases in the case feeder as normal and just leave the...

I was thinking about getting one of these presses and was just wondering when I load 223 how you can decal and size the neck case on station 1.I understand that part but was wondering about the case...

Quick update on my loads...I ran several test loads ranging from 3.0 grains to 3.2 gr.with a coal of 1.075-1.090 they all shot well but the only issue was with 3.0 grains on the last shot the slide...

THANKS JB,your posts have given me greater insight once again.I will definitely give you an update on my loads.I actually have a 5” barrel so I reduced the powder load of 3.2 down 5 percent.That puts...

Oh yea.going with 3.4 grains of titegroup a coal of 1.050 and a federal small pistol primer to start with.358 seems to chamber just fine.

Thank you all for the advice!I think I found the oal for my m&p 2.0.my barrel likes 1.110.I was reading the wrong data on the coal for this particular bullet,as hard as that was to admit,lol.A...

My main concern is to much pressure in the case since the coal is below the listed recommendation.

Thank you both for taking the time to explain these things to me.I have learned a lot,particularly on how my gun will be different on how to find my coal.I understand that as It relates to bullets...

One more quick question just to be safe.If my oal is chambering at 1.040 will that be safe?I know that taterhead said it would be.I just don’t know how much room is left inside the case after the...

Your insights have been helpful once again.Im glad I have a place to go for this valuable information,happy reloading and casting all.Im sure I will have a bunch more questions!

Sounds good kenstone.I wasn’t thinking about the case wall thickness.I will factor that in as well.

The last post by jb helped explain some of my issues.Im not so worried about lube groove now as I thought it was the crimp groove and didn’t think I could seat past it.I will load some more in a bit...

I have to seat the bullet in at 1.030,isn’t that going to increase pressures and maybe cause something bad.i just tries to chamber one at1.080 and it Locked my gun up.If the book says1.030 and it...

So I have reloaded 38 and 357 with no problems.Now I am reloading 9mm.i have a 102 gr 1r bullet from lee.They say the oal should be1.030,but I have learned from this site to just go to the crimp...
