    Clean .223 powder

    I am looking for opinions(find a lot of those here) on some clean .223 powder. I am primarily a pistol reloader and I am slowly getting into .223 production. I know that I will be looking into my manuals for load data but if anyone likes a powder I would love to here about it. For example, I...

    stuck boresnake

    I have a shooting buddy with a boresnake stuck in the barrel. He was cleaning his .308 one day and for whatever reason he tried to run a boresnake that was too big. Instead of backing it out he tried to continue to run it through which only made it worse. Now the snake is impacted inside the...

    crushing primers

    Question for the Dillon 650 users. I am having trouble with crushing primers and not seating well in .223. If the brass is stamped Remington the primers seat well. Any other head stamp and I crush the primer. I am cleaning the pocket well and I do not think I have any military brass mixed in...

    Glock 33

    Any reason why my Glock 33 will suddenly not go into battery? I have only shot 125Gr Speer Gold Dot through it. My rounds are getting lodged against the feed ramp. Is this a magazine problem? I almost want to say the magazine is not holding the top round at the proper angle to be loaded up the...

    .223 loading problems

    I am still honing down my .223 reloading skills. Any suggestions on why it is not extracting easily. I am dummy loading 64 gr PP and my OAL is perfect. I seated the bullet and ran it completely through my Dillon 650(minus the powder and primer).I checked my case length and headspace after...

    64 Grain PP

    Anyone have any load data for or direct me to a manual for Winchester 64 Grain PP for .224. None of my manuals have a recipe for this particular grain of bullet. I have checked Lee and Honady manuals and also been to Hogdon's website. Thanks in advance

    Multi chokes

    I have a Benelli Tactical H&K M1 and I am curious about a multi chokes. Are they worth the hype? I have a modified choke in it now but would like a little more concentration. This gun is an all around use gun from Trap to HD. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them? Also feel...

    Crimping question

    .40 caliber 180 gr Hornady over 4.0 grams of Bullseye powder on a Dillon 650. My question is :If I back off my crimp some, will that help me dial in my grouping. Right now I am grouping about 10 shots in the size of a softball but I feel like I can get them tighter. Is the correct crimp that...

    Thrifty or just plain stupid?

    This may be out of left field.....on second thought it's over the fence and about 30 yards out of left field. I was cleaning my AR after a day of shooting and noticed my barrel mops were getting black from residue. Is there a way of cleaning them to maybe getting a little more life out of 'em...

    Case re-prep??

    I have a simple question(might be a simple solution to some of you "longtime rollers") . I recently worked up a load of .40's but for whatever reason the charge wasn't right and I decided to scrap about 20 rounds. I pulled the bullets and salvaged the powder. Now I have 20 primed cases with...

    IDPA practice

    I have been shooting IDPA for a few years and have been "toying"(literally) with the idea of buying an airsoft gun to plink around with. I'm guessing it would probably be easier to find places to setup "movers" and "turners" and work on sight aqusition. I have heard some of the airsoft are...

    Frame Re-model?

    I'd like to get some opinions on frame re-models. I have a Gen 1 Glock 22 that I have been thinking of sprucing up with maybe a CCF race frame or maybe a new Gen 2 frame. I'm kind of torn. This was the first pistol I bought 14 years ago(my 21st birthday present to myself) 1. Is it worth...

    Factory loads

    Are factory loads such as Speer, Win or Federal on the high side or do they run lower in powder charge? Granted it is a standard 180gr bullet across the board. Just curious . Thanks

    Sorting Cases

    Just a census question. I was in a gun show a couple of weeks ago and I ran across a good deal on cases. They were once fired Police Range cases. The brands range between Federal, Speer and Winchester. My question is should I separate them(as I am inspecting them) and load them in lots...

    Dremel Tool??

    I am new to reloading and I have a question to propose to the longtime loaders. Is there a way to outfit a variable speed Dremel tool with case brushes or deburring head. I was looking a some of the power case prep equipment and was curious if anyone has done this or thought about it?

    Combat shotgun Training/Drills

    Can anyone recommend any good DVD's or VHS for combat shotgun techniques. I recently switched from a pump to an auto-loader and I'm looking for some practice drills to get better acclimated to the automatic. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
