      6.5 Grendel Brass Question

      Hi, 6.5 Grendel is a new caliber for me to reload. I bought some range brass and was prepping it tonight. About 10% of the 150 Hornady cases had this primer inner ring (case on the right). I don't know what you call it. Can it be easily removed? Thanks in advance for your knowledge. R

      45 Colt Reloading

      My son bought a Taurus Judge that shoots 410 and 45 Colt. I couldn't find any ammo for it so I was going to reload some (new caliber to me). Of course the reloading dies were out of stock and the brass couldn't be found. I finally found some ammo from LAX ammo at, including shipping...

      Homemade Primer Pocket Reamer for Lyman Case Prep Center

      A COVID Housebound Project The Lyman Case Prep Center is great. The reamer tool is a must when decrimping cases like LC. But, they're $10 each and I find they wear down quickly. So I got some 4.4 mm drill bits from Amazon. A 5-pack was $6.89. I filed the point flat so they wouldn't...

      New to 45 ACP

      I know this is a frequent thread. I read all similar ones for the last 5 years. My planned load is 230 gr plated round nose from Everglades, 6.0 gr CFE pistol and 1.200 COL. Haven't seen any comments on CFE pistol for the 45. I'd like to use it since I have it on-hand for my 9mm...

      Slide for G19 Kit

      I'm interested in building a P80 G19 and have been following this thread. https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=218910 My main holdup is the cost. I'd like the sum of the parts to be less than buying a new one. Slides costs go from very high, to something like this from EBay...

      9mm reload problem

      Did my first big batch of 9mm. 115 gr Everglades plated round nose, 5.5 gr CFE pistol, CCI 500 primers, mixed brass. COL 1.100. RCBS 3-die set, taper crimp. Out of 500 shot, all but two ran beautifully. Two jammed entering the chamber, created a bulge just below the bullet. Slide was...

      Dueling Tree

      I put one of these together for centerfire pistol and it was a blast to shoot. So I build one for rimfire. I used a lot of scrap, otherwise it would run ~ $175, plus $40 more for rimfire paddles. If there's any interest, Ill post how I did it. Game is to clear your side first. This was a...

      308 Resizing problem

      I've got some LC once-fired 308 cases I'm trying to size with a RCBS FL Die. Problem is, they don't want fit in my Sheridan case gauge. Commercial (RP) fits fine, but the LC sticks out a little. Cases are trimmed, shoulder is good. The case seems to be tight just a little up from the bottom...

      308 Upper recommendations

      I'm looking to buy a 308 upper. Quality, accuracy, price, availability are my priorities in that order. I don't want to miss a good manufacturer because I never heard of them. I'm looking at an AeroPrecision upper with 18" barrel. I'd appreciate your suggestions. Budget? Around $1K, like...

      A USA Brass

      Picked up some A USA .223 brass at the range. Probably left for good reason. On deprime/resize, about a third of it wouldn't fit in the shell holder, so it went in the recycle pile. Anyone have any experience with it? Should I just scrap all of it? Thanks

      30-06 Reloading

      New to reloading 30-06. Plan is to get a RCBS 2-die set and reload some RP cases and some CMP "HXP" brass. Like to load 165g Nosler AccuBond for deer hunting (Remington 700). Like to reload for M1 Garand plinking, not sure of the bullet. I'm thinking IMR 4064 or 4895 for both...

      Powder measuring

      I use a RCBS uniflow that came with a kit. I can dial it in on very fine powder like H110, but with slightly larger powder like H335, the measure is not accurate enough for my liking. Any good recommendations on accurate manual dispensers, or a finer powder for .223? Also, anybody have...
