If memory serves, 16 gr of 2400 or 13 gr of unique should get you in the ballpark, maybe start a grain low on each. Careful on that velocity, the jackets come off those plated bullets. The 1500 limit...

Cheese, I have some clear powder if you want to lend enough to finish them.

As long as it will tumble coat, I'd get ten lbs or more at that price. Having purchased other stuff from you in the past, I wouldn't hesitate if you say it's good stuff.

Dilly, I ended up buying a 30 cal solid piloted reamer from Manson Precision, and made my own handle to turn it in the barrel of my m1a while still installed. It didn't take long and was easy to do,...

Quite difficult to tell from that photo, a pound cast is what you need. I had a 308 that was short and under diameter in the throat, ended up getting a throating reamer and am much happier now.

Concur with beagle, I had a .401 die that would do that, until polished with 1000, followed by 1200 grit, then it would polish the PC just like the rest of them, pay attention to the tapered entry,...

Sounds like overall length could be an issue. All of those loads should cycle. What is your overall length? I find that with 230lrn, 1.24-1.26 seems to work pretty well, though the important factor...

Once in a while when the five year old 'needs' a flashlight to find something, he uses my 700 lumen edc light. Having had that shone in my direction from across the room, I can confidently say I...

Bugger missed the second part of your question, 10lbs of pins would be good for that size drum. I tend to put in the pins, fill the drum up between half and three quarters full of brass and add water...

A direct answer to your question is the drum size you propose will be plenty large enough. Mine is made from 6 inch PVC and 18 inches long, it'll do at least a thousand 45 cases. 4x6 reducer on one...

This is specifically referencing the split pin portion of the question. Both the Lee classic cast and classic cast turret share the same slit pin design at the bottom of the ram. Early in my...

I bought a dillon unit secondhand, I don't know what they ask for them new, but its worth it.

I'll second that. An excellent product for mounting a scope on an M1A. They really do return to zero after removal and reinstallation. I couldn't be happier with mine, haven't had it shoot loose...

I've shot boolits that looked like that, wouldn't worry about it for pistols.

I use the lee cutter with appropriate case guage mounted in the headstock, and handle the cases by hand. It only works for primed cases, as the pin on the end of the guage has been shortened to set...
Currently the Charge Alx, I had the Charge XTi, but unfortunately lost it. I consider the changeable screwdriver bits with the extra allen and torx bits indispensable. Handles are perfect, no...
I had to lap the nose section on mine. It was.295 diameter and nothing would make it shoot worth a hill of beans. Got it up to .298, and after powdercoating, it shoots acceptable groups now.

Spray Tracer Red is what you want. I used to use it, it will a much darker color for days on everything if mixed in the appropriate amounts. I believe I used to use 20cc (maybe 30) per 2.5 gal for...

Started at 4.5 gr unique in my kimber and was happy with accuracy and recoil at 5.0 gr so stopped there. Chrono'ed at 730fps and had milder recoil than factory jacketed ammo.

I had no idea so many people trim 223 brass, don'think I have ever seen a case that was in danger of being too long to properly chamber. At least in my rifles the end of the chamber is .045 and .056...

In my experience, somewhere around 1 in 1000 come off and stay in the supressor. They don't seem to bother a mono-core can one bit though, just unscrew the end and dump them out at the end of the...

I'm with schultz on this one. That load sounds pretty light. If I want to shoot the light stuff I put in a 15 lb recoil spring. PC will typically reduce the pressure of a load and in this case is...
