Just wanted to add to this discussion regarding replacement belts. Don't forget to check hardware stores for o-rings. They are also the same and there is a larger variety of sizes. My belt gave up a...

Look around here and you'll find several threads regarding chrono's and opinions. Most people buy a basic one and are quite happy.

I had a similar problem with a custom Barstow barrel. You need a fourth stage for your press. The fourth stage is a specific taper-crumpet die. Only crimp the bullet in the third die when you're...

Cheap Chrony is the way to go. You will eventually shoot it or your friend who you loan it to will for you!

I have turned the heat way down and I am getting much better results. The extra lube on the nose is gone but the fill out of the grove is so-so. Now it is just a mater of fine tuning the heat and...

Thank you all for the quick reply's. I do not have a RCBS or Lyman but a STAR. I am running a heat plate plugged into a replaceable with a dimmer switch to control the temperature. I have turned...

I have just set up a new Star Lubesizer. My bullets are coming out which streaks of lube on the nose cone. I have searched and cannot find a reason why on the forum. I am sure somebody has asked...

I have acquired a black powdered pistol. Can someone give me an idea of what I have of guidance where to go to ask. I have more photos if anyone would like to see more. 61882 61883 61884

I sold my Saeco Lube Sizer about six weeks ago. I received my new Star lube sizer yesterday. WOW what a difference! Did I say wow, I mean WOW. Hands-down it was worth the wait and worth the money.

Yes, buy a $100 chronograph and save yourself a big headache. You will also be able to make your own load data.

For my 147g 9mm I use N330. I also shoot subsonic. This is the best powder I have...

Of course you can. But if your worried, change the barrel out.

Thanks for the correction on the website. I did type it wrong.

I received my mold back today from Erik at www.hollowpointtmold.com today. I can't wait to try it out. He took my four cavity mold and made them all HP, removed the bevel base and put an auto release...

I took the plunge today. Nice folks over there at Magama. They said I was like number 18th in line and should have it in about four weeks. I can't wait!

I would suggest that you are not crimping them enough when you seat the bullet. I would use a forth die, a die just for crimping.

I cannot speak for Sonnypie but his looks just like mine. I use the STM with a Thumblers Tumbler. BTW, if your belt ever goes bad on the tumbler, you can get replacement belts from a water softener...

Are wrinkles good for nothing and should be remelted or perhaps used for target practice?

I purchased my case cleaner about a year and a half ago. After doing a lot of research I bought a thumblers tumbler off eBay and 5lb of SS media. I could not be happier. It was worth every penny and...

I appreciate the advise 40Super, I will give that a try.

And thank you to everyone who has been providing feedback.

I have done some further adjusting on my seating dia and added a Redding crimp die to the mix. The two photos will show my progress. Is my OAL getting too small? Is the case depth in the barrel...

I have recently received a custom barrel by Bar-Sto for my 9mm Glock 34. As Bar-Sto has stated up front, factory purchased 9mm ammo will fit in their barrels and seat perfectly. I have check and...

Dannix,
They are dropping around 158gn. Bar-Sto still has my pistol fitting the barrel to it so it has not been slugged. According to my conversation with them this week it will be .355. I should...

I am currently using a Lyman mold #356637, 147grain round nose bevel base. I shoot them with a Glock 34 stock barrel and a Glock 26 with a Lonewolf barrel. I have no issues and have shot hundreds...

I have the Lyman mould #356637, 147grain round nose bevel base 4-Cavity. I really like it for my Glock 26 with a Lonewolf barrel and SWR Octane 9 HD suppressor. I can take it apart and clean it as...

I use a small torch to get my mold up to temp and leave it sitting across the pot while it is heating up for 30 minutes. I do not even look at the first 20 cast, they go back in the pot. Invest in a...
