That's about how it works for me too. I am not patient enough to just scuff the tape. On my Savage 99 I taped over the checkering and lightly sanded the stock and refinished.

I would think Accurate 1680 might work good in that 28" barrel since its slower than H110 and might give higher velocities. I always wanted one of the Rossi 92's in 454, but I bet its punishing in a...

Is your Midway barrel accurate? I have bought a couple one in 300 Blackout and one in 223 with Wylde camber. The 223 is a tack driver with jacketed bullets but not so good with cast bullets. The 300...

I guess I am a heretic as far as Imperial Sizing wax is concerned; Imperial works but lanolin based lubes work better. The 10 to 1 alcohol to lanolin mixture requires approximately 50% less pressure...

243 I have the same opinion of Imperial . I have only stuck one case (5.56 LC 98) using Imperial, but the force required to size or case form is much higher than with RCBS or my homemade lube. I was...

Froggie I think you are right. This shell holder has only seen about 300 cases being loaded. I believe it was some type metallurgical problem. You are correct about seeing everything in this game.

I suspect either bad heat treatment or bad machining or both. The machining has lot of rough cutter marks in the recesses.

Unfortunately I have at least 2 shell holders ror every caliber I reload for except 45-75.

I was using home brew lanolin and alcohol. Case was not even stuck, I was able to tap it out with a brass rod. The case rim is not damaged other than a burr on the rim

I have the KMS˛ setups on both of my Loadmasters and I love them. They provide plenty of bright light to check powder level in the cases and make it very easy to spot other issues on the press.

While resizing some 45-75 win brass I broke my RCBS #31 shell holder! In 50years of reloading I thought I had seen everything, but this is the first time I ever broke a shell holder. When it happened...

Your allow might be too soft for the higher velocities. You might want try some linotype alloy, especially for the higher velocities. Also I have had no luck on 223 without gas checks. I think your...

With 16.0 grs 2400 my little carbine kicks like a mule too.
I used 16.0 grains of 2400 in my RD 432-265 sized .432 with a gator gas check and LLA in my Rossi Puma. It is the most accurate load I have found for my Rossi.

My concern is PC powder left in the bore might adhere to your bore during shooting. The hot gases and bore friction could possibly cure the PC leaving it stuck in your bore. If it did stick to the...

Yes, it will remove surface rust when you use Lemi-Shine, and it will passionate steel dies to some extent. I dry the dies thoroughly and wipe them down with Ed's Red to keep them corrosion free. If...

I would think it should work OK for lead core bullets, I resized some .323 jacketed down to .318 with a Lee type sizer. I used a Rockchucker and coated the bullets with Lee case lube or Imperial...

Lots of good advice here. I check boolit diameters before seating, after seating and after using Lee fcd. So far I haven't had any issues with calibers I use them on (9mm, 38/357, 380acp, 45ACP, and...
