I’ve only had one slam fire in my life… it was with Federal factory ammo… so, I’m assuming Federal primers…. It was an interesting experience… full auto! …2 round burst…

Recommended primers for ARs have to be able to withstand high pressures and resist slam fires (however low the probability)…For subsonic, high pressures are not a concern… but, some will voice...

What Forrest said… RCBS “cowboy” dies or Lyman “m” expander die or Lee Universal expander die with a properly sized NOE button.

Welcome to the club... I did the same thing (let 8# Bullseye go unpurchased) just as this "shortage" was starting... I have no idea what I was thinking... I guess that is because I was not...

My Lee powder measure worked well with BE.
My Hornady powder measure works well with BE.
I've found BE to be very consistent on both...

I love my Grace tools... if it would be a profession for you, I'd not go cheap on tools...

I'll second the comments regarding Imperial Die Wax... I've had my tin for a LONG time and it works very well. Takes very, very little per case.

Based on my exp with Dan Wesson, I’m hopeful... CZ seems to have allowed DW to be DW while supporting them. I am very impressed with DW 1911s.

Whetstones, 1000 finished with 8000 is what I use on kitchen knives. Leaves a razor sharp polished edge but, you do have to deal with soaking the stones and a bit of water.

I’m going to try a...

Another to consider is the Lee hand press with a universal decapping die. Not as purpose built. But, it works and has many more uses... price is like all Lee products, very competitive.

TNW Aero Survival Rifle
Very simple design. Easy to clean. Easy to convert to 9mm, 40 s&w, 45, 10mm, 357 sig...
Much cleaner look and feel compared to Hi-point, which I also own.

Only...

Agreed Kosh... My Dan Wesson VBOB (with the thin VZ Diamondback grips) feels much smaller (in the grips) than my Dan Wesson Heritage. The "bobtail", thin grips and checkering make a big difference. ...

When a forum frequently shows up in internet searches and consistently gives good advice in a respectful manner while accepting alternative points of view (in a respectful manner), membership will...

Happy 4th of July
Specifics will help limit the responses to those that are relevant. Otherwise, the info could be like a fire hose! Also, a lot of info can be found in the stickies...
What...

Very happy with LNL... Change overs are a breeze. Much more "substantial" piece of equipment compared to the 17+ year old pro1000 it replaced. But, I was was happy with the lee... Might not have...

Unit conversions, there's an app for that...

Seriously, in my work I have to deal with both... Sometimes mixed together (awesome!). Just PLEASE specify the units...

1911s are wonderful. The design does require a little more attention to detail for optimizing accuracy and reliability. Therefore, with a 1911 you generally get what you pay for... Meaning, a...

Sorry to pile on... But, I hope this helps to keep you safely enjoying reloading.
Never start at a max published load.
Be careful when close to max load... Rework up if any components are...

Boating??? What? Story?

A lot of good, consistent info above. Consider Liberty - they can be shipped. Also, if you are more concerned with theft than fire, take a look at sturdy safes (sturdysafe). Very, ...well......

If you could kindly post back with results when the new grips come in... I have the EXACT same fit issue and have just not gotten around to addressing it yet!
THANK YOU.

+1 for what Hickory recommended.
A little smoothing out won't hurt and will likely help. Make sure you clean out all the copper before going with boolits.

Or clean it and shoot it and see if...

+1 Lewis lead remover for "bad" leading. Chor boy on a brush works too.
I've yet to find a solution that does not involve some amount of "elbow grease". A bronze brush one size larger after a...

I don't have manuals or my records in front of me. But, if my failing memory is correct, the max OAL is in the 3.6 range... For me this is a magazine length restriction. And I have not experimented...

Yes, I reload for 300 WM. Used bullets from 125 to 200g. Heavier bullets best demonstrate the potential of this cartridge (180, 190, 200). You'll use slower powders than with 308 (typically). My...
