I've been reloading for a year and half: .45 ACP, 9mm, .38 special, .380, 6.5x55 and .223(for AR). I use my own once fired brass from PRVI in the Swede and have been using my own once fired brass from PRVI ammo for the .223. I buy once fired brass for all my handgun cartridges from a local guy...

I just called Hodgdon to get load data for CFE 223 using 65 grain bullets in .223, there was no data for that size bullet on their website. I was told to use their data for 63 grain bullets which is on their website. The guy asked me what brass I was using and I told him Lake City. He then...

Glock - I don't like striker fired and think they are ugly. Smith & Wesson - Don't know why, I just don't. Ruger - If I ever buy a single-action revolver it will be a Ruger, though I doubt that will ever happen. Springfield - I have very wide hands with very short fingers...

I have a CZ 83, Bersa Thunder and also load for a Sig P238 that my daughter's boyfriend owns. Been handloading for a year. I load Berry's 100 grain HBRN and Hornady 90 grain XTP and the above pistols shoot them great. Just bought a Sig P232 and am having an issue with the Hornady XTP's...

Will they work to deburr case necks for use with non VLD bullets? I figure they can, just want to make sure. Here is an example...

I have a small bench mount SKIL drill press that I use to trim cases. My Lyman tool for chamfering and deburring the case neck is too big to chuck in the press. Are there any tools out there that will fit into the chuck of a drill press?

Can someone tell me which pistol has smaller grips? I have short fingers and always need the smallest grips I can find. I have a CZ 83 but if the P232 has smaller grips I would sell the CZ and buy a Sig. The problem is I cannot find a P232 anywhere to try for fit and I have been looking for...

New to handloading and have loaded 6.5x55. .38 Special and .380 with very good results. Then I tried .223 for our two AR's. Used once fired brass I bought. Loaded 100 rounds and they won't feed. A rookie mistake to load that many. I finally started over by readjusting the full length...

I have purchased 130 gr Match Grade VLD Hunting bullets in .264 for my CZ 6.5x55. Berger wants you to purchase their manual but I don't want to until I know I will be using their bullets. If these bullets work great I will buy 140 grainers too. I just don't want to spend the money on a manual...

My daughter's boyfriend just bought an AR-10 in .308 and I have Accurate 2495. Any one have data for 2595 with 150 grain bullets ?

Just getting in to reloading and all me equipment came today. The only thing I am missing is a way to measure the OAL in my CZ 6.5x55. I want to purchase the Hornady® Lock-N-Load™ OAL Gauge which I can find but the Hornady® Lock-N-Load O.A.L. Gauge Modified Case I need for the caliber is...

I have a Colt Cobra and DS. The only ammo I have been able to find lately is Winchester White box 150 grain lead round nose, which I have been using. Will these bullets cause fouling in the barrels? And this may seem like a stupid question but how can I tell if there is lead fouling? I have...

Am new to reloading and have been able to purchase large rifle, small pistol and large pistol primers. Have had a hard time finding small rifles primers which will be used exclusively in an AR-15. I have found some Remington 6 1/2 standard small rifle primers but have read not to use them in...

I have a CZ 550 American in 6.5x55. The rate of twist is 1:9. All I have ever shot through it is PRVI 139 grain. The rifle shoots this ammo very accurately. I am planning on trying some other ammo that is higher velocity in 140 grain. I have read that the 1:9 twist in my rifle won't...

I ordered a Classic Turret Press Kit (90304) along with dies. I will be reloading .223, 6.5x55, 30-06, .380 ACP, .38 Special and .45 ACP initially. I ordered the GAGE/HOLDER's for the rifle cartridges at the advise of a customer service rep at Lee, do I also need them for the handgun cartridges?

Brand new to reloading and am looking for components while waiting for my reloading equipment to arrive. I was looking at a website that sells once use brass for .223 and they have some. It says "Federal 223 FC Crimp (250ct)". Can someone tell me what Crimp means?

I have never reloaded before but just ordered all the equipment which should be here by the end of the month. Now I am searching for components. I am putting in requests to be Emailed at several sites when powder comes in. My issue is in normal times I could pick and choose but now with all the...

I am going to start reloading, I would rather do it sooner than later. I have $600.00 today which will be increased to $900.00 by the end of the month. I have read the sticky - For the New Reloader: Equipment Basics -- READ THIS FIRST For rifles I will initially load 6.5x55 and .223 and...

Just bought one NIB off GunBroker. I chose it over a Sig P232 b/c I own two CZ rifles and a 75 SP-01 Tactical and have been impressed with them all, I know CZ is not making the 83 anymore but feel confident they will service them for a long time. In the opinions of whoever reads this thread...
