How loud are the 17 Hornets? I am thinking about buying one. I am wondering about when we shoot gophers, we are gathered around a pickup truck. I don't want to blast everyone else. Any comparison...

I loaded a bunch of 308s using my Forrester benchrest dies and the bullet seating depth is all over the place. It is sometimes .010+ off from shell to shell.
Is this normal for the classic...

You could also put a coat of one of the liquid Lube, 45/45/10 or BLL to add to the boolits you buy when you load them hot. Sometimes the lube isn't the greatest because they make it a little harder...

I bought a Maytag washer and dryer for $300 used when I bought my fist house in 1979. Still using them. I did one repair to one of them about 14 years ago. Still working just fine. I know my...

Actually, what I should do, is a little careful file work, or chuck it up in a lathe, and change the profile from type 2 to type 1 in the EAB cocking assist, and I would have what I want. Just a...

This is a pretty slick idea. It would certainly tell me if that is what I wanted to do.

What I am talking about is adding a strip about 1/8" wide, by 1/8" on each side to the cocking serrations. I'm not talking about adding a big lever. I feel like adding this is no different than...

I am thinking about tig welding about 1/8" of metal to the rear of the cocking serration on my 22/45. I would leave the grooves, but just build up the last two sections.

I misread the information I had. I was seating the bullet way too deep. All is good now. Thanks everyone for the help.

Dillon says that the finished round will have a coke bottle look. It will NOT look like a factory loaded round.
You cannot adjust the sizing die in the square deal. Sized case drops into the...

You can see how the base of the bullet has pushed up a ring where it stops.

SO I am having troubles with my Dillon Square Deal loading 9mms. Do you think if I took one of the 9mm powder funnels, chucked it up in the drill press, and made the taper longer and a little...

The empty sized cases drop into the casechecker. EGW used a chamber reamer to make the case checker. I measured my 125 Hornady Action Pistol bullets at .3565 and the Hornady XTP at .355. I set the...

I am having a hell of a time loading 9mm on my SD. Dillon tells me my reload will be hourglass shaped and not look like factory ammo. I have loaded tons and tons of straight walled pistol cases on...
How fast is that 15 grain of Blue dot going? Any idea? My 223 is an AR so I doubt the light loads would work very well in it.
I was kinda looking at buying something new, an itch I was looking to scratch. I don't like having a lot of guns, just to have a bunch of guns. I want guns to fit specific spaces in my collection. ...
I've got a 223 and was trying to figure out if the hornet was a good way to go. I don't care that much about shooting cast and would want to shoot it pretty much close to max.
I have heard that they are fairly quiet, but what does that mean? How would you compare the report to a 17 HMR or HV 22 long rifle, when you are sitting om the back of a flatbed truck shooting...
So, just for fun, I listed the powders and there are 22 regularly used. The leaders are

What is your favorite powder for 9mm cast boolits? I am using the Lee 120 TC.
Thanks,
