So yesterday I finished wet tumbling all my used brass for my .45ACP. It came out looking great. Unfortunately, when I deprimed some, the primer pocket is wet! Obviously I can't run these through a progressive reloader as it will deprime and then prime and charge a bullet with a wet, gooey...

http://www.forth-armoury.com/temp/bullets/bullets.htm Click on my thumbnails for larger versions in the above link. I went out and purchased some Hornady 230g FMJ ball ammo to use as a guide for setting up my dies. The Hornady ammo had an overall length (OAL) of 1.25". However, when I drove...

So I have finished tumbling my first batch of brass ever. About 1000 cases of .45 ACP in my rotary tumbler, using dish detergent and lemi-shine and steel shot. Brass came out brilliant. I then sat down (my 5-year-old daughter helped me) and sorted all my brass by manufacturer. Is this...

So all the tutorials recommend buying a reloading manual. I have found the Speer Reloading Manual #14 on Amazon: Question: Is this just the 14th edition, or are there actually 14 different manuals? Steve

So I'm just getting into reloading with my Lee Pro 1000 reloader. I'm going to be reloading 45 ACP. What kind of powder do you recommend for a new guy? I'm just trying to replicate the Winchester White Box ammo I buy at Walmart for putting holes in paper. Steve
