The vast majority were very good and I had very little trouble thanks to what I've read here from the experienced. I cast about 200 .45 round nose and threw about 30 back in the pot for various reasons. One if which was, I was having too much fun and running out of lead :D so I got real picky...

The seating die is making a ring around the bullet. At first the bullets wer sticking in the die so I polished it up but it still makes a ring. The die is an older Hornady Series I .308 cal. but brand new, I literally just took off the shrink-wrap yesterday. Anyone seen this before? How much...

1. Is this nasty looking primer pocket the result of a corrosive primer? 2. If so is the brass still likely usable, it was fired ~30 years ago I'm guessing? 3. How likely am I to break/bend a decapping pin on the die due to the crimped primers? TIA

There seems to be a myriad of bullets available (well, normally manufactured anyway) how does one chose which bullet to load? Are there big differences in, say, 150 grain .308 bullets from different manufacturers? I was talking to a friend that always used 150 gr. Remington Bronze Point...

I was about to clean up a modded and rusty old Mauser but thought I should check with some folks that know more about these old guns before I start wire brushing on it. It's pretty rough and doesn't have the original stock so I think the tube magazine has been cut? The rear sight is missing...

I loaded up some 30-06 today that were light loads. Intentionally so. Any body else make up loads below what is in the manuals? Not looking to stir up any trouble just curious.

I have acquired a couple boxes of vintage brass and was considering reloading it. Before I do though, I figured I should ask here, what it might be worth to a collector. Is the brass worth keeping with the box? Or is it just once fired brass? Thanks

I figure I'll be needing a luber-sizer soon and was looking for recommendation. Over at Midway the RCBS is highest rated by reviewers (customers?) Do ya'll agree? Also is a heater highly recommended? Thanks:confused:

Well I've been bitten by the casting bug... I've ordered some of the basics, pot, mold, handles, and was wondering about lead thermometers. I see Midway has a couple a Lyman at ~$32 and a higher-rated (more stars) RCBS at ~$50. These prices got me thinking... How about a non-contact IR...

I just got some 38 special and 375 mag cartridges in two boxes (~90 rnds.). A mix of JHP, SWC, & WC. Shaking the cases and listening I could determine some were either compressed or empty, some very full, and some lightly loaded (grain wise). With no history at all, I pulled them all apart...

I'm getting ready to do my first ever batch of reloads and, for safety sake thought I'd run the recipe by those more experienced than I. I read the sticky post at the top, "For the new reloader" and got the required stuff. I'm loading .38 special for a 4" barreled Colt. I bought new...

Hello all! Another new guy here. I'm just getting started at reloading, doing a lot of reading and such. I got a bunch of reloading gear (Hornady Pro-Jector and accessories) and found the following part in the box but don't know what it is for. It's aluminum, has a steep taper on one end and...
