      Dillon XL750

      Dillon I have a Dillon 650 and do my .223 in two stages. I tumble, size, decap, and trim separately. I lube the brass. I use a separate tool head to size the brass. It only has two sizing dies, one full-size and a small base die for ammo I shoot in an AR-15. I full length size in a single...

      Drying Brass Methods

      Drying method for wet brass I wet tumble my rifle brass only. I don't see the need to do pistol as just a dry tumble works for me. I tumble in the summer and place the wet brass on a bath towel and roll it back and forth while holding the ends. I then spread out the brass on towels laid out...

      odd issue with 300 BO

      300 BO Did you bell the case mouth? I bell the mouth on my casings as I also use Berry's plated bullets. I found out that the case mouth would shave the bullet when seating and leave shavings around the case mouth. I belled the cases using a Lyman bell die for an M1 cartridge and it works...

      Stainless Pin Wet Tumbling- Gripe

      SS pin tumbling I use SS pins for cleaning rifle brass, 5.56 and larger. I use small pins and large pins depending on the caliber of the brass. I can tumble 1200 5.56 brass at a time using the same formula you use. I pour out the dirty water and rinse the brass by pouring clean water in to...

      Suppressor wait time?

      Suppressor wait time I applied in late February of this year and just got it mid-December. It took about 10 months. My last suppressor took about the same amount of time a couple of years ago. I talked to some who had rifle suppressors and they took about 4-5 months. Mine were for handguns...

      Lee classic question

      lee classic I started on and still have the Lee Classic cast iron single stage press. I have loaded thousands of pistol and semi-automatic rifle rounds, .308 and .223 as well as 5.56. I used full length sizing dies for the .223 / 5.56 and changed to small base sizing dies after some early...

      Fiocchi primers

      I have used Fiocchi primers in small rifle and small pistol. I tried them initially because of their price and how many were in each case, 1500 vs 1000. I have never had them fail to fire and they seat just fine. I also have fired thousands of Fiocchi .223 Remington 45 grain frangible rounds...

      .40 S&W Powder

      40 S&W loads I have tried a lot of different powders for 40 including titegroup, power pistol, and unique. I shoot 165's and have settled on Unique. I use a Dillon 650 and use a powder sensor to keep the charges consistent. Because Unique is a flake powder, I had some issues on the Dillon...

      .44 Special Loads

      44 special loads I shoot the 44 special for practice and have avoided using hard cast 240 swc to reduce the cost of each round. I have my supplier cast 215 grain rnfp bullets in soft lead. They are supposed to be for the 44 Russian but they shoot accurately out my 629 with a 6-1/2 inch...

      Do I have to have suppressor paperwork in my possession when I use it?

      Suppressor paperwork I have multiple suppressors and unless the range you are shooting at has police authority such as arrest powers, then it is none of their business. I had to go through the ATF background checks and an approval with the tax stamps, so my possession is legal. If I was doing...

      Shooter's World/Lovex

      shooters world powders I have purchased and used Shooter's World powders in rifle for 300 blackout and tactical rifle. When I purchased the powder at the gun store, I asked about any reloading information on the powders and they gave me printed handouts for Shooter's World powders. They are...

      Versacarry Holsters

      Versacarry I have purchased holsters, mag carriers, and belts from Versacarry. The belts are outstanding and the magazine holders mold easily to the magazines you want to carry. I have two OWB holsters which cover the whole gun. They take a while to fit the gun you are going to use as the...

      New to 45 ACP

      45 acp load I have been reloading 45 ACP for a while now and find that WST works with 200 lswc for me. I went to WST when there wasn't any powder available such as Bullseye and Titegroup, W231, etc. I find that 4.7 grains of WST and a 200 grain lead swc seated and crimped with the seating die...

      Which Optic for 7.63X39 Bolt Gun?

      Scope recommendations I have a CZ 527 in 7.62 X 39 and I shoot military ammo (Wolf). I mounted a Nikon 3 X 9-40 scope and put two shots through the same hole at 50 yards the first time I shot it with the scope. I don't need a better or more powerful scope than what I have.

      1911 Mags & Pricing

      1911 mags I have always believed that you should stay with the same round count magazines that your gun came with or was designed for. I have a Colt 1911 that came with 7-round magazines and I purchased 7-round magazines. I was able to find them online for about $12 each and they were OEM...
