Got 5 870s, love 'em, including a 1964 D series! I told a big Rem collector I knew I had it and would sell it to him reasonably, and he called me a liar! "THERE WERE NO 1964 D GUNS! YOU LIE!" Then he...

Yup, the gun companies would give Big Name movie stars and writers stuff for them to get the maker's name in front of the public. John Wayne was given a Winchester lever action, and the publicity guy...

Was at Wally II here (two Wallys, Wally I never had/has .410, period, never seen it there) and they had Win AA .410 loads (only .410 loads they had) and bought a box at $16 because I haven't seen a...

Well I too had heard the kid was improving quality after the Dick left. NO idea if this is true or not (improved quality), but judging from what they DID put out, what their QC is now and CS still...

Many of the sellers have a flat $50/month flat fee and list hundreds if not thousands of items. I was looking at one item, only about 3 1/2 times what it was worth and on there for over a year. I...

OK, as a "Lee hater", meaning I actually use the equipment and tell people the truth, which makes the weak minded angry, I do not recommend ANY Lee press. Now I will be the first to admit that while...
People say I am a "Lee basher" because I will state what happened to me when dealing with them. The above mold sounds typical to me. A good many years ago I got one where when they sheared off the...
In my experience Lee customer service and quality control both suck. That is why Lee has the so called "2 year" warranty that they don't stand behind while everyone else has a lifetime warranty. Lee...

Unless the die is swaging the solid case head (anything is possible of course, but I just can't see that happening with regular rifle dies) it can't tighten up the primer pocket, and even if it did,...

What if you didn't have the right dies to load a cartridge but did have various other dies available. What dies could you use to load the cartridge? Any cartridge, any dies? Like using .41 Mag dies...

ALWAYS buy quality. I don't care how budget mined you are (and I'm broke) cheap junk is still junk, no matter how cheap. Look at the warranty, if they stand behind it for LIFE, it is good to go. If...

I bought a LOT of Herter's stuff back in the day. Still HAVE a lot of Herter's stuff and it still works fine too. Love the Herter's books too, very funny! Too bad George went nuts and no one stepped...

Yup, the Dillon 550 is the best machine out there for the price, and except for other Dillons, the best press. Bought an used 550 and liked it so much I bought a 450. Of course the 450 is a dedicated...

Well I was going to say send them back to Redding, which really is a great place to deal with, as Redding actually does stand behind their stuff, unlike Lee. But if it worked out for you and got them...

Well let's face it. Lee customer service sucks horribly and they just pass the buck with that "if you don't buy it from us go where you bought it" BS. That is just their way of weaseling out of...

Well....darn! I was going to say the .30-30 are much more common than .303 and I would be glad to exchange them for you to.
OK, everyone covered slugging the bore and using slightly larger bullets.
Now try softer bullets. Yes, really.
And no moly. No idea if moly helps or hurts leading, but you need to get it ALL...

i have some new Lyman dies, can't say they are bad, can't say they are any better than RCBS either and are not as good as Dillon/Redding, but then they don't cost it either. The older Lyman molds are...

Well Lee presses are not high quality and you get what you pay for. I bought a new Lee LoadMaster (it's a load of SOMETHING alright!!) and set it up. After three days of tinkering, rebuilding,...

Sorry Dale, the .45 ACP came out in 1905, not 1911. Yeah I know a lot of reloading books and what not list it as 1911, but that is the pistol that came after the 1905 Colt in .45 ACP, not the year.

No one has added "just shoot the bullets as cast", so I will. As reported in the latest (just got mine as of July 14, 2014) GUNS Mag, the 7.7 Jap uses the same head size as the .30-06/270 Win/etc...

My .38 Super Taurus PT1911 is FAR AND AWAY a better gun than the Kimber I have! First the PT1911 worked out of the box, the Kimber didn't. The PT1911 had an EXCELLENT trigger pull out of the box, the...
I am not impressed with Lee CS at all, worst in the industry and worse than most computer and electronics companies. However having gotten a number of Lee molds that were obviously defective just by...
