Lee sent me the cast carrier assembly for the Pro 1000 which I’ve used for years. I sent a photo of my reloading bench showing my 4 Lee reloading machines. They sent the part free and...

In the UK we have a product called Cilitbang. I’m sure your have an equivalent….it’s a general bathroom/ kitchen cleaner and no big deal. It shines brass instantly but I add hot water and liquid soap...

So, after reading as much as I could on this problem I decided to return to basics. I appreciate the help from all quarters by the way. Lees instructions on setting the flair are minimal but after...

PJEAGLE: I’m using the 3 set dies for .38 special and the it’s the powder thro flaring die.

MEGAS: I’ll check out your tips on oversized expanders.

Thinking further…I have the Lee 3 die set...

I’m trying reloading .38 special wad cutters. I’ve loaded some and tried them at the range with satisfying results. I am using the MP Mold solid wad cutter and, like other MP Molds, the cast bullets...

I think that Eastern European manufacturers are going to become a major supplier in the coming years..Magtech are still making primers at a reasonable price.

Dude..I thank you for the offer of “rounds to try in the post” but I live in Ireland and such a package would result in even more problems than Audible difference. But many thanks. I’m happy with...

So I thought I would recap on the Audible Difference …problem. After reading advice here I bought some BA 10 (Vectan) and began reloading the .38 special again. BA10 is an equivalent of Bullseye...

Vectan BA 10 is very close to Bullseye on the burn rate chart so I might try that. Choice of powder isn’t a luxury we enjoy here. Vectan and Lovex are prominent so everything has to be compared on...

The Bunny Fart is indeed a feature during revolver competitions. I’m observing some of the best competitors doing so, going as low as 2.8 with a 115 grn pc bullet. So I’m not alone in that. Cowboy...

My load now is 3.2 of Vectan 9.5 with a 158 grn lead bullet. Some improvement in muzzle lift and felt recoil might be achieved if I use a 125 grn cast bullet and keep the powder charge at 3.2.

Fred these are the Vectan powders for pistol and revolver.

So many little tricks I’ve never heard of.

I shoot a 686 revolver with a 6 inch barrel. We shoot targets from 25 yards to 10. I’ve been trying to build a light recoil/ muzzle flip round and have gone quiet low with powder. I tried 2.8 grns ...

Are they peculiar to Germany though, or are similar stamps and marks used in the Smith and Wesson assembly line? I’d love to know what they mean because they must have a meaning. Thanks for the...

Yeah could be. Lots of numbers though.

Today I removed the grips from my S&W 686 6 “, to check and tighten the strain screw as I was getting light strikes. The photos show a series of letters struck on the metal of the...

Well, I feel just a little bit better now after reading all this. The thing is, almost all the primers are made in the US and if you are feeling the pain then I don’t feel as bad. Magtec are much...

Not a reloading question just an observation…. Today I paid $112(£99), for 1000 Federal small pistol primers! I live in the UK and was told that the next delivery will be higher than that. What do...

I’m going to load some .303 using the Lee 158 cast lead bullet. Others have mentioned Titegroup as a good powder using 8 grains as a starting point. I’m guessing that, at 100yards, some adjustment to...

Good information and opinions. I have a very strong led lighting system rigged to peer into the 38/357 brass but 3.2 of Red Dot doesn’t amount to much. Brand new brass is great to see how much I’ve...

I noticed that new, shiny brass makes it really easy to see the powder drop on a Lee Pro 1000 press. Mostly it’s not a problem with 9mm or .45acp, but seeing down into .38sp and .357 magnum case is....

I sold my Loadmaster and I’m sorry I did it. It’s the priming of course…..what a crock, but as many here are saying, you must load off the press. I only discovered this after the sale. But, I applied...

I cut a piece of brass from a .38 special spent case. I flattened it, then forced it into the gap. The piece of brass was tiny and almost invisible. It was like that when I sold it. I loved the rifle...

Just discovering 45 45 10. I used LLA for years but have been powder-coating with success for years now. I wanted to reload some .303 for my Lee Enfield using a cast bullet with greatly reduced...
