Fired cases are not required to fit into a case guage until after they are sized. That is why we size them.
The “bottle necking” looks like a gun problem not an ammo problem. Do factory rounds do...

Sure you can use it as is or, consider adding a 6 inch length of solder to the pot. That will harden it up a bit.
Did you here about the $ 5 Billon dollar fine FB has to pay? Of coarse that money goes to the government and does in no way benefit the people that got their personal information stolen. It would...

Can Not use large primers in a small primer pocket, they just will not fit. All the manuals state not to use magnum primers unless called for in load data. However, I have been using Remington 5 ½...
LC is good quality brass and would be a good choice for 99 percent of most shooting needs. It is the brass used by all US military forces, thus it is readily available and relatively inexpensive. ...
I like it
Mitutoyo is the brand most often used by the machinists I have come across. Less expensive than Starrett and just as durable and accurate.
Bring on the new guy questions, I like helping out.
It is a cannelure and is used frequently on revolver rounds like 38 spl. It doesn’t effect case life in any way.
If anyone has a few empty RCBS APS primer strips that they would be willing to put in an envelope and send to me I would be so grateful. Any quantity, size or color will help and thanks in advance...
It sure is looking good, and I bet it gets filled up a lot faster than you think.
That is the way it always goes for me too.
Basic science. Energy equals Mass times Velocity Squared. Most reloading manuals have charts in the glossary section.
If the headstamps are not the same and they were claimed to be by the seller, that is not honest. Obviously what you received was misrepresented and would at least require a nasty E-Mail.
No, a US government agency that does things in the most bizarre way. I just can’t believe it. lol
I would recommend that you get a copy of Lyman’s Shotshell Handbook. It has detailed pictures of the inside of each brand and the differences between them.
Some have one piece plastic and some have...
DanQ is correct and that is why the bulge buster will not work with 9mm since the rim is larger than the case body.
Oh, a Drip-O-Matic. It will work fine after you get accustomed to the dripping. I have been using one for years. They all drip eventually. Place a ingot mold underneath to catch most of the drips....
I have about 10K LC. Anything I pickup other than those I give away or scrap.
Mutable ways to approach this. The 650 can be set up with just the sizing die and Dillon’s trimmer. After running the brass through that set up and deburring brass, the press can be set up without...
I like the idea, sounds cool. Don't know if it can be done for $1000 though.
I do it when processing once fired brass, just part of the process. No need to ever do it again after that.

They look good now
