I just ordered my third "last thing I need" batch from amazon and brownells. The LnL Die wrench, primer tray, dry lube, digital micrometer, Imperial Die wax, 10 pack of LnL Die bushings, 2 powder drop dies. I am right at my self imposed budget limit of $2k including powder, bullets and...

tick tock....tick tock.....tick tock. Sorry just listening to the clock marking the time until the DRPC does something similar here on the west coast. UGH

If I'm not mistaken Lanza was 20 and not of legal age to own a gun in CT (someone can correct me here). His mother was the legal owner of the weapons and he stole them, murdered her, transported loaded firearms in vehicle, entered a gun free zone with loaded weapons, broke into the school and...

I don't think it is just Midway. I remember calling Natchez and getting a message saying "thank you for calling Natchez. All our reps are serving other customers. You are number 67 and your wait time is approximately 32mins". Yes, I waited and had a rather dismissive but polite discussion...

Would you guys knock it off! I just spent a boatload of cash getting everything set up and now I have this chronograph THING percolating in the back of my mind. BTW: This has turned into quite the thread. From reloading to favorite SW pistol, first guns, a bit of 2nd Amendment and back to...

I'm with you on that. Heard it and read it before. Interesting, because gun has never misfired before today. I am comparing the misfired rounds to ones that fired and primer depth is the same, firing pin indent the same. I can't for the life of me see anything obvious. It is interesting to...

First range visit with first reloads Wow. What a trip this excursion to the range was. First it was Easter (I had forgotten) and my favorite range was closed. I called up another range that I had wanted to try and it was open....whew. For reference: My tool is a Remy 700 Tactical AAC-SD...

Well I am back from the range. No, nothing blew up and I am so happy with the way things went. I will be posting a much longer post on the reloading forum "zero to shooting...a newbie saga". The topic of this thread started out asking a question "To reload or not". Well in my case the jury...

My brand new LnL came with the large rifle rotor install and a bag with the the small rifle rotor and another bag of parts for the small rifle primer feed (both large and small rifle setup complete). I used gun scrubber to degrease everything and it worked fine to my newbie "feel". Powder...

My brand new Lyman book shows suggested starting of 41.0 with max at 45.7+ Hornday shows starting at 32.6 with max at 44.0 The bottle of Varget shows 46.0 with the bullet I'm using Being this was my first time ever I took the Lyman starting point added 2 grains and figured I'd see how things...

Ok....so I have a question for the experts: What is the point of having a progressive press that decaps on one stoke and inserts the new primer on the next stroke since cleaning the primer pocket is a recommended step? Just curious.....

I have a thread going in the reloading forum called zero to shooting newbie saga or something like that. I put some more detail in there because after all this is the M&P forum. :D But....I don't have any comparison history to fall back on because this is my first reloader. But if it sure...

Well I watched all the videos, took all the advice I could find and this morning got everything dialed in (dies, powder drop, primer feed, etc). A couple of hours ago I was re-reviewing and I realized I didn't have any more excuses so I broke out the power and primers. All brass is cleaned and...

I sure do hate to interupt this love-our-first-guns-and-SW-pistols-especially discussion but I have an announcement to make! (clears throat....tap...tap...tap...is this mic on?) Ok, I hereby declare I am a reloader. I just ran my first 20 rounds through the new press and I will shoot them...

Bill....Pre-27, 6.5" barrel, circa 1953ish (haven't had the paper on it done yet).
