Re: Reloading for Glock 17 and Springfield XDM

A properly assembled reload is just as safe as any factory round, and this would include its use in a Glock 9mm or XDM.

Re: Reloding Nickle Covered Brass

I have reloaded thousands of rounds using nickel without difficulty. I have reloaded the same cases over and over; no problem. 45ACP, 38special, 357mag.

Re: what the difference between .45 and .454 casull?

I was pretty sure they would design the chambers such that the Casull would not chamber unless the gun was designed to take it.

Re: Powder/Primer shelf life????

Unless it was stored in really poor conditions, it lasts just about forever. A friend gave me a pound of Bullseye with a price tag for $1.95. Now that is old. I have use it all. Worked fine. ...

Re: help with load

Just remember a recipe without an OAL is meaningless.

Re: Does new primed brass need to be resized?

So true. Try sizing one and I think you will find the die makes the brass smaller. The manufactures will tell you to size and trim.

Re: can anyone tell me what happened?

I think you got it. This was not the result of firing, but the result of wrong brass in a sizing die.

Re: Need Load Data for .45 using Berry's 230 plated bullets

Remember that recipes without OAL are meaningless. OAL determines pressure just a surely as bullet and powder weight.

Re: Can this be done safely?

Re: Cannelure Question

Regarding safety and pressure, never go shorter without starting at min charge and working up. The OAL is a min not a max. It is always safe to load longer. As OAL is shortened, pressure is always...

Re: .9mm reloading question

Make sure you taper crimp and not roll crimp. Your crimp should only remove any belling, not much more. I would not crimp the mouth more than about 0.377". Anything under 0.380 meets spec.
