    Best squirrel gun

    for a woman. My sister-in-law wants to go to war with all the squirrels ripping up her yard! Was thinking about trying a .22 LR Shotshell, but I told her (and I'm not a long gun person) the range was only about 15 feet. So, I suggested maybe a .410 Ga. Shotgun, was I right? Or would you experts...

    Who loads for the Pro's?

    The men and women who shoot for S&W and the likes? I doubt they run to Wally Mart and buy off the shelf ammo. Do their sponser's hire the best to load hi tech ammo for them? Hmmm, wonder why they haven't called me? ;)

    Lee Classic Turret Owners

    Not complaining about my Classic Press, just wondering if everyone else has noticed this, or is it just my setup? As you operate the turret, every now and then it doesn't seem to stop at the perfect alignment point. Once adjusted, it would seem as if it should be more exact and a little tighter...

    What do you use

    to clean the "wax" off cartridge, from loading lead bullets. Turkish towel works, just thought maybe there was a solution of some type being used? Not all need cleaning of course, but don't care for that getting into the semi automatic to gum things up. New to loading, having a ball and starting...

    Ever have this happen?

    Loading some .40 SW rounds on my Lee Classic Turret Press today. Things going just fine, until a finished round didn't want to slide out of the Shellholder. The primer was not fully set into the case. I believe that I had used the same amount of pressure, and full stroke of the handle. Maybe...

    Best Book

    What is the best book available, if one wants to determine fair value for a variety of firearms. Mostly handgun orientated, but shotguns/rifles O.K. also? Is it the "Shooters Bible" Edition 98?

    Lee Pro Auto-Disk Powder Measure

    Just started using the Lee Classic Turret Press, with their Pro Auto-Disk Powder option. Anyone else find that using the disk hole per their Die chart, that the powder doesn't scale what is shown? Loading .40 SW and their chart showed .34 disk cavity, for 5.5 grains of Accurate #5. Digital scale...

    Checking Primer pocket

    Somewhere I read, one should always check the primer pocket for any crud, and scrape it out with a flat screwdriver or tool. When using a Turret press, or a Progressive Press, who pulls the casing out after the die has punched out the old primer, to inspect and scrape if needed? Or, is this...

    New to Reloading

    Appreciate any help. Going to load .40 SW 175 Gr. SWC using Hodgdon's Titegroup powder. They do not list a load, for a lead SWC. Is one safe using the 175 grain load for a jacketed bullet? Going with the "starting load" of 4.2 grain powder listed for the Hornady XTP 175 Grain? Contacted Hodgdon...

    Ammo Prices

    Any one else been hearing of a big price jump in Ammo coming soon? Our war has been ongoing for some time now, other than powder or lead shortage, what would cause the increase? One guy said it's going up 30%. Better back up the truck and start loading up!
