    Beginnings of my reloading area

    I Saw this reloading table on the net and had to build one for myself. The presses are on dovetailed slides. Works great but was a PITA to build. Same type of old kitchen table as in your photo. Trimmed the edge with a skill saw, had to cut some channels for the mounting bolts to clear the...

  2. Ammo Tumbler ~ Suggestions?

    I'll second the harbor freight suggestion. I've had mine for several years, never an issue. I might know where some primers are?

  3. Getting started reloading

    This is like asking what handgun would be the best for concealed carry. A basic LEE single stage press will do just fine.

  4. 300blk neck mouth flaring?

    To be fair, I did say he should get a neck sizer die anyway for brass he has already fired through his rifle. So that was wrong on my part. No worries either way he has it fixed and no misshaps so it is all good.

  5. 300blk neck mouth flaring?

    While I can agree that full length sizing is best for a semi auto, in this specific case he had a flaring issue with cases he had already primed. Using a neck sizing die should correct the flare problem. I know he is loading .300 blk. Either way it sounds like he worked out the source of his...

  6. 300blk neck mouth flaring?

    No , I do not reload .223 however I do neck size my .308 brass. No sense in full length sizing when all of my brass has been fired in my rifle, just over works the brass.

  7. 300blk neck mouth flaring?

    Might I suggest a neck sizer die without a decap rod for future use on cases already fired in your gun. Also as I said in an earlier post I would anneal your brass to keep from stressing the necks and causing cracks. Glad you got it worked out.

  8. 300blk neck mouth flaring?

    Depends on how deep the flare is. Might try anealing the cases prior to working the brass on future loadings. Tough to say without seeing a pic but it could be the mouth is too soft and causing the flare?

  9. 300blk neck mouth flaring?

    Can you run them through a neck sizer die, without decapper pin of course? Or reshape the neck by hand with some kind of steel rod in the neck opening?

  10. Primer Lesson

    I use mag primers in my magnum rounds, Large rifle in my .308 rounds. Primers can be swapped out mag for large and the other way around. Not sure why anyone would want to do so unless the correct primer was simply not available. Stixck with what is designed for the round you are loading and stay...

  11. Help with Dillon trimmer set-up.

    I will assume you are running this in an ar platform. I took a look at the trimmer die (pretty cool) I would suggest running the trimmer die during set up and a neck sizer w/decapping rod on your final to ensure you have porper neck tension, that will also avoid FL sizing the brass twice which...

  12. Help with Dillon trimmer set-up.

    What are you reloading? Just curious because I seldom use a FL die unless I am sizing used brass that did not come from my rifle. I have a 550 and I run a neck sizer die w/decapper,thwen again all of my brass came from my rifle so no need to resize the entire case.

  13. Loading Bench: If you could build it again

    I started a thread on this awhile back, here is a link http://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/threads/282538-Reloading The first few pics are my setup. I like being able to remove the press without alot of fuss. Leaves you a nice work table/bench with the press stored out of the way.

  14. Problems finding load data

    Well I was going to post the link and data but I see WakeSS has beat me to it.

    Strange cartridge....What's up with it?

    I have run across a few of those too. Never gave it much thought. Must be a very odd chamber to leave that kind of marking on the spent case. All the ones I have are also 7.62 NATO. This might explain it. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2013/04/30/beware-commercial-308-fluted-chambers/

    Case damage question

    If you are reloading brass that has been fired in your rifle, no need to full length size. It actually over works the brass and will shorten it's life span. I use the FL when doing once fired that is not mine. When you fire a round in your rifle the brass will be formed to your chamber, if that...

    Case damage question

    What has been said already, way too much lube. I prefer the Hornady one shot myself. One question. If these were all fired from your rifle, Why Full length size the cases? I would use a neck sizer.

  18. New to reloading

    No idea on the Lyman but the one on my Dilon is perfect never an issue.

  19. Best place to buy reloading equipment

    Most places are out of stock at the moment but fm does have great prices. I sometimes use midsouth shooters supply because they are close and shipping usually arrives in two days.

  20. Dillon 550 question

    Solid advice given here. That Dillon is a fine machine and will produce some very fine ammo. However it is very easy to make a mistake when using a progressive press like the Dillon, even for old timers. The single stage is slower, it is also good at keeping you focused on each individual task...
