Been away for a bit, but back to reading the posts and keep tripping across so many threads where people don't seem to like Winchester, albeit they're mostly speaking about Rifle brass, not specifically pistol brass. Starline pistol brass is in a class by itself and I've not had a problem with...

AAAaaannnnnndddd - they don't make them any more and no-one has one for sale that I can find. UGH!!! ALMOST got sucked into the scammer website Firearms online that showed an AMAZING deal on one - which came with an automated shift email letting you know your CC transaction failed - please...

I'm toying with the idea of possibly canneluring the .40 pistol brass I intend to use for my custom JHP's to better set seating depth consistency and to more uniform used range brass. Does our audience have any recommendations on this from both a practice standpoint and tool recommendations...

This came off facebook - see attached pic - BLAZER ( which I hate & won't reload ) 380 - primers bulging out - 5 cases in total - 2 bulging up beyond the case / headstamp, 3 bulging, but below the case face / headstamp. Thoughts from our membership as to why.... I have my own ideas but...

GOOD GRIEF do I have a LOT of reloading gear & supplies....... even after trading off my off calibers and oddballs, and recycling my scrap, and pouring my scrap lead into ingots, I'm having trouble boxing it all up for the move - Leaving north Texas after 34 years here ( wow - has it been that...

I've been working up more of my .40 S&W JHP's using 9mm cases and here are some pictures - I had been using full length 9mm brass in a BTSniper swaging die on a Walnut Hill press to make .40 JHP's before, but spent a couple months off & on refining the projectile because using the full length...

I've read through several threads here and see Oakley, and Pilla, and a couple other names amongst the threads, but all I'm finding are the partial frame shooting glasses some of which are AMAZINGLY overpriced. I broke 2 old pair of these in the course of shooting this weekend. One pair has...

I got 3 gallons of .40 S&W range brass in a 3 way trade - appx 3500 rounds or so - and in the midst of my processing - came across a few great examples of the glock smile - For those of you who haven't seen this before - the glock Generation 3 and before .40 S&W had a case support problem which...

I got a good deal on a container of mil-spec gun oil and have been looking for a refillable oil can to dispense it but haven't liked anything I've found. I want a refillable container that will dispense one tiny drop of oil at a time . Anyone have an oil can they have been very happy with?

As many of you know - I don't own a 9mm. But years of buying buckets of range brass have put a LOT ( 12000+ rds ) in my garage. Sadly, I consider some 3000 to be scrap - but the other 9000 have been de-primed, cleaned, and sorted by head-stamp. The red tuppers are from a costco dog treat -...

I've saved primers for years now - just routine to put them in a tub under my bench. ( see attached ) Have been considering what to do with them for a long time now. It is possible to retool primers for re-use - remove the anvil, reshape the cup, put in a cap gun paper charge cut to size or...

So I swage my own .40 S&W JHP out of 9mm brass w/ lead cores ( BT Sniper swaging die in a walnut hill press ) and the die maker says just keep the jacket case whole.... ( see attachment ) Well - I started having the occasional case that the bullet would literally fall into..... Didn't think...

https://www.cmmginc.com/product/pistol-banshee-200-mkgs-40-sw/ I've only seen a handful of reviews on these. Theme seems to be they are liked but expensive. Peanut gallery - any of you handle one of these as yet? .40 S&W carbines are rare, and glock mag compatible even more-so. I'm thinking...

It astounds me that out of the 1000+ .45 range brass I'm working on, I only have 4 PERFECTA. And I'm glad as I can't say I trust a brass producer that can not once center their primer flash hole......... see attached, Thoughts on whether it actually matters from our experienced band of rogues...

One thing about WIN head stamp range brass - ya gotta check for primer hole burrs - In my experience about 1 in 200 have a large brass burr at the primer hole that makes for a less than clean powder burn. This one had 2. I use the Lyman primer hole de-burr hand tool when I come across these...

Many new casters have no idea where to come by scrap lead cheap. I have been sourcing scrap lead for decades now - initially to make my own RPG lead figures, and now bullets. Here's my process - all done outside in dry weather. ( dry weather as steam can explode coming into contact with molten...

February - 2019 I am once again in possession of several gallons of clean 9MM luger range pistol brass. It has had primers removed, and wet SS media polished. I am willing to sort for head stamp if you're particular. The brass is mostly Winchester, CBC, Federal & Remington. There's quite a...

https://mp-molds.com/ I finally stopped resisting the urge and picked up a 4 cavity .402-160 mold with 3 variable pin sets for 2 flavors of Hollow Points and one for solid rounds. Sadly it's too wet a day to fire up the smelter today - but hopefully by the end of the week I'll break this mold...

So I've got 3 small bottles of alox to use up before I stop ever using it again. I used to just follow the directions and shake & bake my cast rounds in alox, let dry overnight - then reload - but absolutely hated getting the lube on everything. It's a mess - So I abandoned the ALOX...

So today I started down the road of powder coating cast lead rounds. These are NOE mold .402-160 .40 S&W cast lead rounds. Powder coat media is Harbor Freight Red and Yellow. For the trial & error file - some notes - Red & Yellow CANNOT be mixed to form orange. Powder coating makes AMAZING...
