Yea, I've been running seperate seating & crimping dies, but really wanted the lockout for my progressive. Just went and double checked. The dies I bought were the RCBS lockout, Redding Sizing, RCBS...

I'm using a Lee 4-die kit which uses the FCD (If I recall correctly) but that'll change soon as I bought all new dies for my progressive. In truth I've been dragging my feet in setting up my...

Now that is slick! I'll be spoiled enough when I unbox and setup my progressive, but that is darn neat.

The lee push throughs are what I have now. Well .300, .356 and .358 anyways. How will those help with PC? I usually swab a bit of alox on the inside of the push through die every session to help 'em...

Williamwaco/larry Gibson - I've been using the squirt-n-shake lee alox. I haven't sprung the money for a lube-sizer yet, and got an extra bottle of alox free.

Good information so far, but no real recommendations.
As much as I dont want to keep 2 different alloys, is using a different alloy thw best thing to do. I originally settled on 20:1 as it was a...

I've been shooting my MiHec 359-125 HPs in front of 3.8gr on HP-38 at 1.085" OAL for a little bit now. The speed is averaging ~1040fps and I seem to be getting terrible leading in my pistols.
I'm...
Not quite the answer I expected, but yea it works.

Yea, unfortunately the power switch on my PID decided to break on my last casting session (luckily when I turned it off, not on) so I haven't cast any yet, but got it all cleaned up for when my new...

Forum: Reloading Equipment
Well, I'm not looking for exact info. I was simply looking for a way to find a max, then a medium load. Cast at 20:1 the boolits are 146gn. I have found the minimum required to cycle my 9mm guns,...

I would prefer to do this most of all, but my searches online have not been fruitful in finding a company that works direct with handloaders. If anybody knows of a company that tests ammo for...

Well for anybody else wanting to fire this in 9mm, I've been testing these sized to .358 and seated to 1.110" and I've had no problems loading in my three 9mm guns or in my father's M&P9. Took a...

Yeah, Dykem has both layout fluid and staining colors which were what I was looking at. Enamel would be much tougher, but I wouldn't wanna try it on the whole case. (I'd worry about how well it would...
