I have 5000 crimped 9mm NATO cases that need the Primer crimps removed, swaged, processed. I did 100 with a countersink bit in a screwdriver handle. But, I am not doing 4900 more that way. The Dillion Sawger is out of stock at Grafs and too pricey for my budget. Has anyone tried the Frankford...

I bought Barnes and one other brand Copper bullets for the calibers I carry. Barnes data, while welcomed, is not max-performance. Hodgdon includes a good amount of copper bullet loads using powders from Hodgdon, Winchester, Accurate, Ramshot, often with substantially higher velocities. Lyman...

I use plastic buckets in reloading to hold brass, and sometimes projectiles. This photo is of a bucket that stored 308 165 grain FMJ with had steel jackets under copper flashing. They sat in this particular bucket for several years and the rust stains shown developed and stayed. I have tried...

Some years ago, about 15+ I think, I ordered and received 5,000 military 9mm brass (ALL are WCC 97 with NATO cross symbol) from a "surplus" dealer. After sitting in my garage all this time, in a really HD plastic bag inside a cardboard box they arrived in, I came across this again while Spring...

Does any one know why www.Midsouthshooterssupply.com has been down for 3 days?

I do not do much rifle lead bullet reloading, but I have a box of Magnus 308 cast bullets for range use on steel plates. My question is: To add the gas checks, what minimum equipment do I need/require? >I do not currently size or lube bullets, and do not have the equipment.

Question is for Bolt guns only. I use Magnum LR or #34 for my auto loaders. I have and will begin loading for 7mm-08 and 300 WM, in addition to 308. Q1: 7mm-08, using Stabil 6.5. Use Magnum or regular. Q2: 300 WM use Magnum when using any ball powder? Q3: 300 WM use standard with extruded/stick...

So, I ordered a propane furnace set-up, including crucible, mold, etc. I will be melting deprimed cases. I also received a 1/2 pound of borax Flux. My question today is about the borax. I understand that I am supposed to make paste and glaze the inside of the crucible and mold. The crucible will...

I have been tumbling batches of brass in my FART. Something different happened in the latest batch. The corn cob media turned green. This media had been used several times, but was yellow when I put it in with 500 LC 5.56. That brass had been spilled in my garage and was swept up and cleaned...

I bought an ultrasonic cleaner, heated and apparently well powered. It is a Chinese brand Unclenick mentioned. No real instructions included. I cleaned some 7.62 brass with Frankfort Arse. Blue US concentrate (same as I use for steel pin wet tumbling). Good results on Brass, but label says use...

Yes, Aguila Primers did go bang. I posted photos of the box and tray here: https://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=615659 The Load tested used Speer's data for 9mm 124g GDHP, BE-86 starting load of 5.4 grains. Speer says this yields 1124 fps. Berrys says 1150 max fps on the box. GDHP...

Are Aguila primers any good? Midsouth has SPP in stock.

I have a spare FART tumbler container. What if I were to fill it with 500+ 40SW and tumble it NO PINS, No Blue FART Juice, but a good amount of dry media and NuFinish? I am just looking for shine. Anyone ever try that?

My data sources:

I have a 45 ACP Glock 30. I have Jacketed, and Plated Bullets, but also have 500 very hard cast (Brinnel 18 - 22) in 185 and 200 grains. Glocks come with polygonal bores, and they warn against using Lead bullets, but many people do, with no issues with leading. I have seen other reports of...

I am seeing SP Magnum primers available. Question is can I substitute these for regular SP and adjust powder down say 5%? This is for 9mm and 40 SW.

I have 3 Gen 3 Glocks. G26, G23 and G30. I like to carry the G26 in a pants pocket, and never liked the gaping hole in the bottom of the backstrap. Plugs are available and I have for the G26 and G23. I cannot find one for the G30. I just removed and test fitted the G23 plug in the G30; the...

I was preparing an order on MidsouthShootersSupply.com and was shocked to see they are NOW charging sales tax for California. That adds 10%, and considering $12 shipping on a small order, and their current lack of rifle powders, all primers, and Speer bullets, this will save me money by vetoing...

They are pull-down recovered fron 1970s 30 Carbine ammo. Not cheap @ $75 per thousand. I am glad I have thousands of Tula 556m. http://www.gibrass.com/misc.html

I was looking at Boydsgunstocks.com And I noticed they offer a magazine well meant to work in place of the blind magazine. https://www.boydsgunstocks.com/accessories/savage-sa-plastic-mag-welldc6ef I emailed them asking if, that part, plus a stock for detachable magazine, and a factory magazine...
