Are there any marks/scrapes on the rounds that won't chamber when you extract them?

They worked well enough for me that I ordered 22K of them from NormaUSA with their Free Shipping deal.

I wonder that too. As a holder of a FFL for 35 years until just last month, I had access to true wholesale gun related items. Now the industry has pushed back hard against individuals with FFL's...

My experience with those type jobs is that the more tools you have available, the better you are for all the unexpected "surprises" you always run into. I changed one out a few months ago and the...

Wilco, I've forgotten but did you buy some casting equipment while considering it but now are deciding it's too much trouble or were you just considering it and decided to not even dabble in it at...

I only have the sample of one gun but I got a SP101 in 38 Special years ago for my wife to use as a home defense gun. She is a small woman and it became imediately obvious that she didn't have...

Here in north Alabama and middle Tennessee, Spring is more of a concept than an actual event. We have 3 days of cool weather then Summer hits and sticks around until the 2nd week of November. For...

I'm going to move within a year to the farm where we are trying to build a house. I need to start taking a bucket or two of wheel weights each time I go on my regular trips up there. I've got a...

As that old poem I was forced to read somewhere in school stated:
"In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of a NEW RIFLE."

Well, that's the way I remember it anyway. :) ...

I grew up on a farm so all my early work didn't pay anything. Got to eat lots of good beef though since we raised angus cattle!

I see a lot of the inflation calculators and they seem to be...

Surely you jest?! Yeah, you can shoot cast in a 22-250 but that's like powering a Corvette with a single cylinder Briggs & Stratton engine.

Just goes to show that you have to be observant about everything when reloading and that no matter who you are nor how careful you are, you may miss something sooner or later.

The 1st mold I bought for 45ACP was also the Lee 452-228-1R (It's not a tumble lube design). My experience was like gwpercle's. Both my 1911's wouldn't feed the darned thing in spite of it...

So this is for the whole lot? No bids on individual books?

The part where you still have to size each bullet after PC is what makes me think what's the point for shooters who already have a full setup for lube and sizing the traditional way. Viewed from...

32-20 data is in both the Cowboy and Rifle load sections. Power Pistol powder is listed only for Cowboy loads.

I just looked in Load Data, which is a sponsor of this site, and they don't...

I can vouch for how a simple light bulb's efficiency at heating a wellhouse. I have a wellhouse in my yard that is maybe 5ft x 5ft and 3 or 4 feet tall. I use two 60 or 70 watt bulbs in it during...

If a 16-gauge double is scaled down from a 12-gauge gun so that it is smaller and lighter, it would be a good thing. I have one of the CZ Ringnecks (out of production now) in 12 gauge and while I...

You can read the whole story of the two lions from Colonel Patterson's book, "The Man-Eaters of Tsavo". It's a very short book but tells how a railroad engineer ended up hunting the lions. The...

The fact that you don't get any smoke with PC is enough to make me steer clear of it. :) I love the smoke especially from my single action revolvers. But then I only shoot outdoors on my farm.

I bought a Chipmunk single shot rifle for my daughter in about 2006 or 2007. We shot a lot of Shorts in it because of how quiet they were. Even at that time they were costing me $35 a brick...

Rotometal has the very convenient Tin wire pieces that weigh about 1/2 ounce each for $29.99/lb. If you order $100 you get free shipping. I anticipated bad times a few years back and bought a...

I shot a LOT of blackbirds for years since we had a year round roost right across the road from our house so I got to do a lot of load testing. My load for a long time was 18 grains Red Dot and 1...

I got tested about a year ago. My doctor looked at me kind of funny when I requested a lead test be added to my blood tests so I told her I was a shooter and cast my own lead bullets. Don't recall...

I wonder how many game departments would recognize a powder coated bullet as being lead underneath the pretty outer coating? Most hunters/game wardens have no idea what portion of the cartridge...
