Re: How about some rare or unusual .22 rifles

Nothing rare or unusual here but I sure enjoyed seeing all the cool guns you all have.

Re: Why Do I Want This ?

You can never go wrong buying another gun. I have a Marlin bolt action, a M&P 15-22 ( which I love ) and a Ruger Mark III bull barrel pistol. I still get a craving for a lever action 22 once in a...

Re: PROGRESSIVE PRESS

I was thinking long and hard before I bought my progressive. Like your experience I read about too many problems with the Hornady so I went with the Dillon 550. Still very happy with my purchase.

Re: How often do you re-check powder drops in a progressive?

I check ten charges before I even start to load. Then I will check one in the middle and the last one. All of that is with a scale. I check every powder charge by looking in the case before I set the...

Re: Cost of casting your own bullets

The only thing I can see you are missing is getting lead for free. You can get wheel weights, bullets out of the backstop and lots of other lead for free. Why buy lead when there is plenty of it out...

Re: preferred grains for reloading

I prefer a 124 grain jacketed or 125 grain lead. I like the recoil better than with a 115 grain bullet. I also bought some 135 grain jacketed bullets from Zero that I llike pretty well.

Re: 9mm Luger and 9mm NATO

If it's NATO it should also have crimped primers so if you are looking at it from a reloading standpoint there is too much 9mm brass out there to mess with crimped primers.

Re: My first aw-sh!#

And you just learned the hard way that you can't tell if a pistol round has the correct charge by weighing them. I had a squib when I was a new reloader.
