    Lee dies question

    I am reloading 40S&W using Lee's 4 die set. Can (or should) I seat the bullet and crimp with the seating die and then crimp again with the Factory Crimp die? Also how would I just seat the bullet (no crimp) with seating die and then crimp with FCD? Thanks.

    Lee Bulge Buster Questiob.

    I am getting ready to use the bulge buster (my first time) on .40 S&W cartridges. Can I use the BB on a cartridge that is loaded and bullet is seated and crimped? Instructions seem to say yes, but I am just verifying that I understand it correctly. Don't need any problems. Thanks.

    HS-6 clones?

    Are there other powders that basically clone HS-6? I ask because when I look for data for a cast bullet, 180g there seems to be no mention of HS-6 powder. So if there are other powders that mimic the HS-6 I would use that data if they would be listed on data sheets. Thanks

    Lee New Auto Prime Hand Tool

    The Lee hand priming tool is a piece of junk. Primers going in sideways every few tries. My old style Lee unit was flawless but this one is a piece of cr*p. Any suggestions as to which one to replace it with? Thanks

    Small Pistol MAGNUM primers

    The only sp primers I could get were the magnums. I have read to lower the load a smidge. Would that be below the starting load? I will be loading 9mm, 40S&W, and 45acp. What say you? Thanks
