I just cast my first batch this morning and have had the Alox on them for about 7 hours now. Can I run them though my Lee sizer dies or do I need to wait for a while? I water dropped this batch and I have another batch sitting out in the garage, I read that I should let air cooled boolits...

Was at the local gun shop and some one walked in asking if they bought primers, they naturally said no. But that they could be sold to who ever where ever though a want add. I happened to be listening so I asked what they were and what brand. Well I bought 3,000 Remington 9 1/2 primers for...

This is my first time loading for .444 I have a 240 grain Speer JSP I assume that when crimping a load you want to use the crimp ring, well when I crimp to the bottom of the crimp ring I am only at 2.380 My Speer book says I need to be at 2.505. It feeds well at the OAL but I am not sure...

Sorry I don't have pics yet but I will get them up as soon as I get home. I was given a Ruger Reg Hawk 44 mag for helping my brother in law do some work, he new I would trade it for something else so he was good with what I did. Well I traded for a Win 94 in .444 marlin. I have been...

I am looking at getting an RCBS X die and they have them in small base. I am shooting a 308 Marlin Bolt rifle but plan on getting a AR-10 some day will the small base serve any purpose for me or should I get the cheaper one that is not a small base?

Well I had to take a dog to Utah to sell her and while I was their I took the opportunity to look at two gun shops that happened to be near where I was dropping of the dog. I got lucky and one of them had Lee molds and other casting equipment. So I picked up a TC 230 grain .452 for my XD ( I...

Hope this is the right place to ask I put a slug through each end of my barrel on my springer XD 45 auto. both slugs read .450 on the chamber end and .451 on the muzle, so what size die and mold am I supposed to get? And what about the Lee sizing dies that go in your regular press? Thanks

Who makes quality digital calipers that are good but don't cost an arm and a leg. I simply cant afford 100.00 for a set. The Franklyn set are getting mixed reviews on Midway, it seems like quality varies by lot. Open to any suggestions.

I am thinking about getting a 243 or a 6mm for use as a deer rifle for my son when he is old enough and for use as a varmint gun for me. Is there enough difference between the two to worry about or are they pretty much the same gun?

Blacks Creek pack review I bought a signature series fanny pack from them a few years ago and really liked it. It held every thing I needed it to even a water bladder. The compartments are well designed and function great. They are easy to access and organize your gear for ease of...

Can I make a SS pot with a SS valve on it to bottom pour lead? Any try any thing like that before?

What would a fair price be on a used stainless Ruger red hawk 44 mag with a 6" barrel. My brother in law has one he wants to trade in on a semi auto. His is really clean with very little signs of wear and use. In fact I bet he has not put over 200 rounds through it. I think he even has...

I have really enjoyed reloading and I am looking to casting as well. I shoot 308 45 auto 44 mag 54 BP What I think I want is to be able to hard cast for the 45 and the 44 but I am not sure about the others. I have been thinking about the Lyman casting kit that comes with the press and...

I washed it after tumbling and sizing to get the extra lube of it and I set it in the oven at about 350-375 and then started doing some dishes and forgot about my brass:o

I have been looking on youtube for a good reloading video. I have a friend who lives about 2 hours away and I have been helping him get set up and going, but it is time consuming and expensive to drive to his house. So I have spent the morning looking for a good video that can show him the...

I have been scavenging brass at the range and came across some 280. I have a friend I give a lot of the brass I find sine he can reload it or re size it for what he needs. Well any way can he re size the 280 into 25-06 like he does 30-06 or 270? I noticed that the shoulders a different, the...

I just picked on up as a loaner/back up gun. What can you all tell me about them?

Well a couple of questions really. 1st when I do the final crimp they look good but when they sit for a while they start to open up a little. What causes this? Second I just loaded up some 3" shells for duck season and again they seemed to crimp ok but this time I took my soldering Iron and...
