I have a M19. I had to quit using .357 loads years ago due to wear issues (thousands of rounds). However, the action, both DA and SA, is just beyond description. Smooth, light and just a joy to...

I have several single stage presses in a wide variety of gauges...I shoot them all. Anyway, the focus here is the PW 375. A fine press in its current iteration. The old model, without the taper...

Way back 16 or so years ago, I bought a Hornady Lock N Load with a case feeder. From day one, that was a frustrating piece of machinery. If it wasn't jamming, failing to feed primers or spilling...

When BH 209 came out years ago, I was given a factory sample 8 lb. bottle. I used it in my inline MLs with excellent results. I could shoot all day without cleaning and velocities were phenomenal....
I didn't realize it but I bought the Navy Arms Wells Fargo 7" model. It looks unfired and brand new in box dated 2001. Will it spring open on firing? Who knows. I guess I'll find out. If so, I bought...
[QUOTE May be more solid now, but Schofield repro I had kept popping open with factory loads so I got rid of it YMMV.[/QUOTE]
Schadenfreude? :)
The issue is, I won't have the gun in hand for two weeks. This is Kommiefornia. It's a Scofield model in 45 LC. some guys missed that. I think I'm going to try a Lyman 220 grain .454 bullet. Not...
I just won at auction, a Uberti #3 Schofield in 45LC. The deal is, I won't have it for a couple of weeks. So, I was wondering if any of you have experience loading cast bullets for one of these. Do I...
I am not a lawyer. But, it seems to me, that if you physically were to bring a gun into the state, that it would be between you and God, as to whether or not you DROSed it. Not DROSing it would be...

I posted this on the Shiloh site originally. I had picked up two RCBS Promelts 10 years ago from a friend's estate. The switches were sketchy at the time, so I ordered two replacements from RCBS...

I agree with jmorris. If I were doing it again, I'd get a 550C and be done with it. The greater flexibility offsets any gains in speed or footprint.

I have your tool. In fact, you have been to my house! I can attest to the craftsmanship and excellent design of the tool. folks, this is entirely unsolicited...If you need or want, the top of the...

Lee moulds are pretty good for the money. Bullet sizers work. Lee loading dies are good. My grip comes from anything even remotely touted as progressive. Give me a break. They are just too squirrely...

I'm not trying to pick a fight here, I just want to express some frustrations. I am a 50 year veteran of reloading. I've used just about any kind of press you can imagine, including Ideal hand tools...

In another thread, I noted that I was searching for a new progressive. Well, I found a Dillon SD for a price too good to pass on and bought it. After cleaning it and going through it, I have some...

I would buy the 38 super if the price is right.l

Can the 550C use a Hornady or RCBS measure?
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Because, loading pistol ammo is boring. I want to be done with it and on to the range in an hour or so. Plus, I have a feeling my son will be hitting me up for 9mm too so my production just may...

It is time to buy a new progressive. 6 years ago I sold my two Hornady Ammo Plants when I moved. Now, I wish I hadn't. I need to replace them with one, good, hassle free progressive for loading...

I load my T7 as follows: size/decapping, powder/expander, bullet feeder, seating die, crimping die. I need two open holes to get clearance for the powder measure and the bullet feeder. That’s for...

Buy the Redding T7 and don't look back. I have two. I've had lots of other presses too. The T7 does it all and produces perfect ammo. You may decide not to buy the slide primer. I have mixed feelings...

Remove the decapping assembly and try again. If it works, just adjust the decapper as required. BTW, to properly set the FL die, raise the ram and screw down the die until it makes contact. Lower the...

Lyman PA dies. All new dies do an excellent job of alignment, no need for the PA dies. Next would be my hand priming tools, Hornady and Lee. Too much fiddling for too little return. I also have an...

I recently bought two items from Creative Reloading; the best dang hull trimmer I have ever seen, bar none, and a very cleaver decapping and case mouth conditioning tool. The trimmer is Aluminum,...
