    My First squib: Is it supposed to be this stuck?

    so, ended up with my first squib, in 45acp. Figured, no biggie, drive it out with a section of cleaning rod. The cleaning rod bent, so tried a phillips screwdriver... and now there is a stuck bullet with a phillips mark driven into it. Didn't want to get the screwdriver stuck as well. Is it...

    30/30 vs .308... Same Bullets?

    So, my neighbor wants me to load 30/30 winchester. Myself, I'm sitting on PILES of .308 projectiles. The diameter is the same, the weight is the same... other than the fat rounded nose, is there any reason they can't be interchanged? I'm guessing something to do with pointy bullets in a lever...

    Lee Bullet feeder: What the Heck?

    Ok, Dillon owners, thanks anyway, I'm not shelling out $,$$$ for a press. Lee is all I have the funds for. So, I'm a lee fan, love their stuff. That being said, what is the trick to make the bullet feeder work? The fingers almost, but not quite hold the bullet in the right place, so that it...

    Nearly full pound of Unique in Central Ohio for Swap

    Anyone want a nearly full pound of Unique in Central Ohio? Loaded about 50 rounds of .40 and I'm just not happy with it. Just picked it up two days ago. Will trade for .40, 6.5jap brass, or a shiny $10 bill. Hell, I'll probably trade it for a cold bottle of IBC :D

    40sw and Unique: Something doesn't feel right

    I'm trying Unique powder for the first time, loading .40sw. Something's not adding up right, and I thought I would check here before I end up wearing gun pieces. The only Data I could find lists 8.5 grains. That's a LOT. Compression load, full case... seemed like way too much. I loaded 7...

    Comments before I buy a lee bullet feeder?

    I have a Pro-1000, and while it's a bit finicky sometimes, It does everything I need it to without any complaints. I was thinking of picking up a bullet feeder, which should smooth things out quite a bit. Anyone want to throw some opinion my way?

    Anyone know 308 match grade basics?

    I regularly reload .308 for the 'old belt fed. My brother recently picked up a remington 700, and asked me to build him some handload ammo. He gave me a big bag of fire formed cases, but I'm not sure what my next move is. I figure I should use (buy) a neck sizing die. Are you supposed...

    Anyone build .308 blanks?

    Does anyone build blanks? I've heard rumors of blank crimp dies, but never seen one. I wanted to goof around with some rifle grenades, and some reputable sources told me that it took special higher powered blanks...

    Powder check for .308 reloading

    I'm looking real hard at the hornady Powder Cop die. Anyone have experience with it? I reaload a LOT of .308 for the old browning 1919, so anything to speed up the process is helpful. I think it'll fit in my PRO-1000 somehow

    Fastest way to pull mistakes?

    Lets say you have a LOT of mistakes. Say, 300 or so .308 rounds. I'm looking for the fastest way to pull 'em. Something progressive would be good, so far I don't have anything, hence the backlog. Suggestions?

    HS-6 load data for .308?

    Anyone have load data for .308 using hs-6? I had one of those moments: Just reloaded some 200+ rounds, cleaning up and found I had used the wrong powder. At least I noticed the mistake. If any of you powder-burn-rate types have the data, it would be appreciated. Before the safety cops chime...

    Pocket swaging on a Lee hand press

    Anyone do a lot of primer pocket swaging? I was going to try a lee hand press with a RCBS pocket swager set up. Should work? Option B is one of those Dillon Super Swagers. Anyone have any experience with swaging a LOT of brass? The belt fed tends to eat ammo :D
