I just ordered some from Matt's Bullets. Are you all loading these 75 grain wadcutters flush?

I do have a 30-06, bolt and semi 22 rifles, a .223 caliber coyote rifle, both a 12 and 20 guage shotgun with field barrels. So my 20 guage is the shortest at 20 plus inches. But my go to firearms are...

Would you feel safe protecting your family with this gun? I actually have multiples of smith and wesson k frames in 38 special. Its my favorite caliber to not only shoot but reload. Both stainless...

Alright guys. As of right now I can load over 5k. It's technically a hypothetical question because we don't actually know what lies ahead of us. Due to shortages. But if said 1000 rounds was all you...

I've said it wrong too. Only be able to load 1000 rounds of ammo...

If you were only capeable of reloading a couple thousand rounds of 38 special. Would you be happy or want for more? Mind you. You are only capeable of loading 500 lswc and 500 lswchp???

I've just recently purchased this gun. Anu issues with shooting it with 158 grain speer lswc/hp. I plan to load 3 grains of bullseye and cci or winchester spp???

It's been awhile since I've posted here. Been gone since 2017. Having babies and a family really occupies your time. Thank you to all who have helped me in the past with my newbie reloading...

Easiest way to tell if its bent? I took it apart and it appears straight.

Does it matter if the decapping pin is making the flash holes in new brass slightly larger when resizing the new 38 special cases? By this I mean you can tell it's not exactly centered in the flash...

The bullets I'm loading are remington 158 grain lswc.

This is what I'm referring to.

I'm using the case flaring tool from my lee loader in 38 special to adjust the flaring die of the RCBS set. I'm flaring the case mouth with the RCBS die to flush with the flaring tool of the lee...

Thanks to you bunch of enablers I have bought an old rcbs jr3 press and a new set of rcbs dies for 38/357/ 357 maximum.lol. I have already posted about my excessive crimp of 38 special reloads. Is...

Thanks gentleman. I've learned quite much from this post. I'll back off the seater/crimp die a quarter turn or two. I'll also seat my bullet slightly deeper and crimp closer to the top of the...

Kosh. It is crimped in the middle of the second cannalure. I used a factory remington to judge where to crimp mine at. The factory remington round is crimped in the middle of the cannalure too. Am I...

Thank you for all the help guys. As always this bunch is very knowledgeable and I can depend on all of you for good advice.

Should I get a factory crimp die? And just use the 3rd rcbs die for seating the bullet?

From the die itself after I complete the loaded round Sir.

That's what's strange too. After I remove a case I can get lead and brass slivers off the case if I use a toothpick to scrape it.

If you say I don't need to crimp at all. Can I back the seater die which is the crimp die back up. Set the lock ring and just seat the bullet??? It's rcbs set 18212.

Like I said. It's only 3 grains of bullseye. And a 158 grain lswc. Oh and a winchester small pistol primer. I don't want to blow this gun up. I like it very much. And by the way. Leading is not an...

Thanks for all the help guys. But with this crimp that I'm doing will it increase pressures enough to damage the gun I'm shooting them out of? The gun is a smith and wesson model 67.

The bullet is a remington 158 grain lswc by the way.

Will this crimp make pressures soar with this load???
