    The local scrap yard will buy them either way but they pay the scrap lead price if sorted and what I think they call shredded steel price if mixed. That was about 4 cents a pound at the time of my...

    I think I load 13 grains with the 125 grain bullet and it comes right up to the case neck. Good velocity and accuracy and it will get your attention when it goes off. I size to .3575" and crimp my...

    I am loading the Lee 401-175-TC using AA#5. Seems to be a very accurate combination in all of my 10's. I do like AA#9 as well. You can get a bit more velocity from #9 but it takes more of it. Last...

    I don't shoot 40 but I have the Lee 175 TC and load for two 10mm guns. The mold runs great and is very accurate in both 10's. I powder coat them with Smoke's clear. I shoot a Springfield Armory XDM...

    I have the same mold but no GC. I have rat holed several thousand cases. I have a G32, two M&P's and a P229 that shoot that round and all of them are accurate. I don't keep up with how many times I...

    What bullet/powder combination are you using in the 10? I have the Lee 401-175-TC mold and it looks like AA#5 is going to be the ticket. Side note: I was trolling one of the local gun shops this week...
