I cast and coat for 9mm and I must stand them, too. I, personally, find that I can do it faster and easier by dropping them nose down into plastic ammo trays and then flipping them over onto the...

Same boat here. I decided to start casting, and was instantly put off by lube getting all over everything. I stumbled upon this site and read about PC, and the rest is history.

For the record, I saw this method on a YouTube video a while back but just recently gave it a try. My most recently attempted method before this was to dump them into a wire mesh to let excess fall...

LESS SMOKE! If you shoot indoors, it makes a huge difference.

I just started doing this a couple of weeks ago, myself. I've done it both ways, and I really like this new method because:
It's easier to drop them nose first into the ammo tray then to stand...

So I've been casting for a couple of years now, but I'm not a high volume shooter, so I only cast a few times a year, at most. I've settled on powder coating because I shoot indoors a lot (less...

Wait, maybe I misunderstood. I thought the primers were just not seated all the way, and he was using the handheld to get them to go home the rest of the way. This isn't particularly different than...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yikes! Glad you're not irreversibly harmed! Are you needing those last 20 rounds for some sort of action shooting? If not, I'd just finish seating them using the firing pin of a gun, while pointed...
Forum: Rimfire Area
I bought a bunch of Rem GB since my Advantage Arms Glock Conversion's manual states that CCI MiniMags and Golden Bullets are what work best in it. I tried every kind of 22LR I could find, and sure...

Mine arrived! Can't wait to try it out!

My entire childhood, we would pick and eat pears from my grandparents' land. My mom now lives there and this year we picked A BUNCH of pears. We'll end up giving away about 3/4 of them to...

After coating only for me. I size down .003-.004 and they glide right through. PC is slick stuff.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I relatively recently started reloading 380 and I'm amazed at how much thinner and fragile the cases are compared to 9mm. I've crunched a few and even pulled the rim off a case.

My stock 10/22 isn't all that accurate. My only question is, where were all those rounds ending up? I remember hearing about a boy shooting at birds in trees with a 22LR and one travelled a mile or...

Got a pound of Unique a few days ago.
Forum: Military Rifles
Couldn't agree more. While 5.56 is a little ridiculous below 10 or so inches, 9mm doesn't gain hardly anything after 7 or 8. Anything more is just added weight and less manuverability, IMO.

Forum: Military Rifles
I continue to be amazed by how expensive all PCC's are, with the exception of the HiPoint. I, too, would really love something like a 9mm AR, eventually SBR'ed. I cannot justify the cost, though. ...

I'll take a 125gr with lube groove and bevel base - Thanks!

One problem with the "If you can't get it done with 6 (or 7 or 8) rounds..." argument is that you might face more than one aggressor. I don't have the stats in front of me, but I believe they show...
You actually want less chances? It's funny, the last sentence I quoted sounds like an argument in favor of 9mm over 45 rather than the other way around.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I don't know where in the range 4.5 gr lands for that powder but I've seen the high end shoot better than the low end with other powders. It would be easy/inexpensive to try that first.
I'd also...

Loaded another 50 rounds of 380 Auto for my wife's LCP. She was complaining that there was too much un-burned powder powder last time we were at the range, so I bumped up the charge. They were...
For a gun like this, I wouldn't get too hung up on trigger pull. It's supposed to be long and heavy. It's also supposed to be used within a few yards, more than likely without even using the...
