  1. Wet tumbling 101

    I'll get these on occasion. An under-rated benefit of the 1050's swage rod is that you'll immediately notice if something goes wrong with decapping.

  2. Dillon Super 1050 walkthrough

    Walkthrough on how the Super 1050 operates and die selection for loading 9mm

  3. Wet tumbling 101

    Lemi-Shine does give a nice sparkle to the brass. Downside is discoloration if you get distracted and leave the brass soaking in the tumbler overnight 😉

  4. Wet tumbling 101

    I switched to wet tumbling years ago to reduce mess. Here’s a video on how I’m doing it these days.

  5. Blue Bullets - 9mm

    What @Dirty J says here. Alliant Sport Pistol is my favorite for loading medium-power 9mm rounds (125 gr. bullet at 1050 FPS or so). Low smoke with coated bullets, low flash, consistent metering, and easy cleanup. Hit-or-miss availability on it got me using Shooter's World Clean Shot. It leaves...

  6. Reloading chairs

    I'm standing while reloading. I'm 5'7" and my 1050 is mounted to a 36" bench top. I also got a standing desk a couple years ago—one of the best things I did for my back, shoulders, and neck. I swap between sitting and standing a couple times each day.

  7. Ammo Tumbler ~ Suggestions?

    A couple of hours. Any remaining moisture in the primer pockets will wreck your reloads.

  8. Ammo Tumbler ~ Suggestions?

    I’m using a Frankford Arsenal dryer.

  9. Ammo Tumbler ~ Suggestions?

    For 9mm that I'm shooting in USPSA, I'm using a Frankford Arsenal wet tumbler. No pins, just a squeeze of Dawn and a dash of Lemi Shine. Cases come out bright and shiny on the outside an with some carbon still in the inside. They reload and shoot just fine. I'm not depriming beforehand. I...

  10. Supplies shortages

    I'm hearing from industry pals that primers are going into loaded ammo instead of being sold to consumers. That is, Winchester is making more White Box instead of selling us the primers.

  11. Cci spp prices

    Search small pistol primers on GunBroker for hard facts on primer pricing. It's crazy out there!

  12. Reloading componets

    It's a fantastic time to have primers. I'm seeing small pistol primers going for $0.10/each on GunBroker.

  13. New to reloading

    What's your rough budget for getting started, how much time do you have for reloading, and how much .223 would you like to be shooting?

  14. Primers

    They're generally sold out at all the online retailers that I usually buy from (Powder Valley, Graf's, etc.). Not a good time to be looking for reloading components!

  15. Local Powder

    I've been ordering in bulk from Graf's, Powder Valley, or the like. Went in with pals a few times. HAZMAT and shipping aren't a big deal spread across a couple of 8# jugs.

  16. Case Cleaning

    I've used both extensively and they're both fairly annoying. My guess would be that the buzzing from the vibratory tumbler carries better through floors/walls than the dull roar wet tumbling. I prefer wet tumbling for having way less mess—no media to inevitably end up everywhere. And there's no...

    Shockbottle (hundo) case gauge

    These are like paster guns, seemingly expensive but you quickly wonder how you lived without one.
