I've always wanted a Star since I was a young lad, just was never comfortable with how they operated and the cost. Ended up with an RCBS (2 of them) that I've used for many years, overall happy with...

Gents thanks for the feedback, sounds like is shouldn't be a problem. I've got some solid sticks so I'll start with them just to make life easier on myself.
Wingar Ed. Too much heat, no as I...

Gents,
I just picked up a Star Lubsizer and am getting ready to give it a go. I've used RCBS Lubesizers for years and have always been irritated by the lube that gets under the base of the...

caffe,
We will have to agree to disagree on that one. If you had that much gas getting by your base band it would be leading your barrel like nobodies business. The idea is to make sure there is...

Tazman, thanks for the info. If you don't mind me asking, what is your favorite load with this bullet?

For those that suggested the .358-125-RF. Just took a look at it and it has the crimp groove for .38/357 applications. When using in the 9mm assuming you taper crimp it so that the case mouth is...

Guys, thanks for all the replies. Should have said initially I will be shooting it out of a SIG 365, might pick up a Sig 320 down the road. Couple questions:

Evening All,
Long time caster but usually working with 45 Colt, 45 acp, or 38/357. Dipping my toes into the 9mm waters and need some suggestions on molds, there are a gazillion of them out there...

Evening All,
I've got 4-5 of Veral's molds that I purchased from him some years ago. I wouldn't mind ordering a couple more for a couple projects I have in the works but when I sent an email it...

Doug, interesting bit on the modified Lee Collet die. I like those dies and use them on a number of my rifle cartridges.
Was going to experiment a bit with New starline and old starline brass...

Well it sounds like the 45 Colt annealing project will be a go! Jet, I was not worried about set back in the tube as I use a heavy roll crimp. With the lip rolled in it will not set back, even if...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Evening all,
I have reloaded for year, cast my own bullets and for a loooooong time have never annealed cases. Had a bad experience as a kid trying to anneal a bunch of Dad's 222 rem brass. I...
