I contacted a small manufacturer that I know in NC. He (and another small ammo maker) was one of the early investors in Expansion. Once I saw the update video I hit him up for some details. The new owners paid back the original investors (perhaps just the smallest ones?), so he got his money...

Just shows how different folks see things so differently. You're scrapping my all time 2 favorite brands of brass. Never an issue, and when sorting, these stand out about most others. I prefer GFL over S&B, but both over WIN or FC. R-P isn't bad, and for quite a while I was scrapping WIN and...

Interesting post. I love S&B brass. Among my favorites. Hold up well, numerous reloads, a bit more challenging to resize factory fired brass, but good stuff. I also love their primers and sadness will reign when I finally run out. I never paid much attention to fired primers until I began to...

After 9 years as a S&W shareholder I finally made my first S&W purchase. As you, I selected the S&W Shield Plus PC 3" w/safety. No difference from the one posted by OP, so no need to take up server space. I spent yesterday afternoon checking the grip, trigger, and reset on all of my semi...

The site that I usually buy my brass from lists Cleaned, Processed (not expanded) brass at $92/1000, $144/2500. Hope that helps.

I use the Hornady LNL Primer Pocket Stage tool. Mounts on any single stage press. .223/5.56 and .308 version available. https://www.hornady.com/reloading/presses/lock-n-load-accessories/primer-pocket-swage-tool

Depends on how big your home is.

I made the jump to the Intellidropper due to impossibility of dropping Universal through my Hornady LNL dispenser. Best move I've ever made. Emptying the unit IS a pain, but seems they all are. However, what works for me is to sit it sideways on the edge of my bench with the two right legs...

Too bad I couldn't predict your need. I just donated a Lee 4 die 9mm Carbide set with Hornady Split-Lock Rings to the Christmas Giveaway on another forum. Who knew there was anyone looking...not me! Don't want to give a shout out to another forum (TFF) but if you know of one that has a Christmas...

Just a bit over 158gr (160gr), but Hi-Tek coated RN with a beveled base to facilitate loading. .38 Special 160 grain RN BB /Bag of 500

Nope...Wolff isn't calling. They don't make springs for the Springfield EMP. That and they've stopped taking orders by any means.

I made it to the range to test my first ladder...135gr Sinterfire frangible bullets with CFE-Pistol powder. It was an interesting experience, made all the worst as I don't have a chronograph, and I'm shooting indoors. I have 2 pistols in 40 S&W, a Springfield Armory EMP 3" barrel, and a Beretta...

Same...cancelled. I also checked my credit card. The charge shows as pending...so it validated the card, but never put through the charge. Typical for many firms that take your data, then don’t put through the final charge until shipped....or in the case of several firms in our industry...

I’ve bought bullets from them for nearly 3 years. Good quality, nice prices (in bulk), and free shipping. Prices are higher since June, and they’ve discontinued the 1,000 and 2,000 lots, so unit prices are higher. They’ve expanded their offerings to include brass and ammo (before shortages)...

No doubt you’re absolutely correct. Except in this case, the brass is being sold really, really cheap. Almost once fired prices, because there is a known problem with the primers. Not my opinion...the entire reason the brass was sent to Everglades Ammo. I got lucky...found it because I was...
