How can you safely ship a gun for repair? I am in NYC where ANY excuse will allow them to cancel your permit. Like losing a gun in shipment. How do you guys do it and what carriers can I use? I have daily fedex ground and air pick up.

Currently loading .45 in my Dillon 650. Once in a while I get a primer crushed in sideways. Any Idea what would cause that? TIA

Nice and very accurate. Just wish it had the standard de-cocker. I have had the magazine not latch in properly. When I use 185 SWC at 4.5 g Bullseye, dos not cycle. Working with springs. But still feels good with 230 round nose loads.

Been loading .45 ACP using my Dillon 650, Lately I have been getting many case where the rim does not fin down into the size gauge. mainly R&P, Winchester seems fine. I have been trimming a little with my dremel tool. Should I leave them or keep trimming?

I just went from 230g RN to 185g SWC. Using Dillon 550. Having a hard time getting the heads seated straight. lots of failures fitting the .45 gauge. I tried turning the seating head and it did not help. Went back to the round nose. Anyone else have this problem? BTW the Berrys 148g swc work...

I could swear there used to be a gunsmith forum?

I will be purchasing the Sig 220 super match .45 in the next few weeks What magazines from other MFR are ok to use? I think it has a spacer on the bottom. Saw this on Ebay 4 PACK Sig Sauer P220 8rd magazine .45 ACP NICKEL ACT MAG Made In Italy NEW $94 free shipping.

I have a Smith K38 6" about 30 years old. Looking for a set of match grips, the one with the adjustable bottom to rest your hand. I put a set of that type on my model 41, 30 years ago. I did a search and did not see anything but the "standard" variation of grips. Anyone know where I can...

I purchased a Lyman hand loader book, I was looking for 9mm, .38, 45 acp Loads for bullseye. Not showing the heads I am using. Tried the Allient (Bullseye) site, still not what I am looking for. Is there a web site showing starting AND maximum loads for bullseye. I use 148 FWC, 158 Flat FMJ...

I have been mixing 1 capefull of Dillon polish to my crushed walnt every time I use it. Getting clumps stuck in my brass. Was this only supposed to be used once for the batch?

Just set up my Dillon .45 head. My primers are not fitting in the Dillon tubes. These CCI primers are 2 years old. I opened a new pack of new CCI primers and they feed ok. Do primers swell? Or were they just a bit bigger in those days? I also noticed my vibra prime did not like them either.

I am a little confused on the suggested bullseye load for a 230g FMC My reloading store says 5g, the books show 3.8 to start Big difference. What load to start with?

Before dinner, made 100 rounds no problem. After dinner made 50 rounds then realized 10 had no primers and powder was all over. With all the alarms, this needs to be addressed. Anyone? Please, going crazy.... And yes the primer tube is full and I have a 45 case on top.

OK, so after a month or so and 1200 rounds, I find 2 strange occurrences. 1. Sometimes the completed round seems to hang up on the metal spring. A slight push and it falls down the chute. 2. When I go to the forward stroke sometimes I feel like something is stuck, when I apply more pressure...

Is it possible to get a slide with a red dot built on for my Govt MKIV 1911?

Any comments? good or bad. Thinking about getting one.

I have not been diligent enough and have found some 380 brass in my XL650. I just found out about the accessory plate to be used with my 3 tub system. I have that on order. So now I really keep and eye on the brass that has dropped into the shell plate. I can see the .380 is slightly smaller...

Can anyone comment on the $$ Dillon Primer tube filler system? Does it 100% fill the tube without any upside down primers? It's expensive and must work 100% of the time. TIA

Hope you guys understand my question. I am using a Delta point pro on my sig 226. It's very accurate. I have spent some time getting it correct for me. I have a laser sight tool. This tool fits in the barrel of an unloaded gun and projects a laser beam that should line up with my red dot. It...

Would it be possible to have a pilot holes in the shell plate (part that rotates) so you can visibly see if there is a primer coming? I would guess a hole with a plastic insert. Make any sense?
