Re: .45 acp w/ small primers??? any info??

It works just fine. I keep it sorted out and make a batch when I have 500 or so. Shoots as good as the large primer. I keep my brass head sorted so no problem for me to find the small primer stuff. Why not use it???

Re: 1911 FTF first round

I had the same problem with a box of WWB. Shot them and have not used them again and no more problems. Also through a Kimber. 1300 through it now and the only time was with the WWB on the first round also.

Re: Is reloading a money saving thing, or a hobby thing?

Here's a reloading calculator, you may find interesting. I put in some numbers close to what I'm paying, and it looks like my reloads are costing me about $5 per 50, this would be for 9mm. I can live with that. :clap: http://www.handloads.com/calc/loadingCosts.asp Nice calculator. Looks like I went...

Well got it all unpacked and set up, ready for the first set of dies (.45acp). Took a few rounds to get the standard(on ...

Re: Any info on a Kel-Tec P-11

Since .38Special is a little bit shorter than .357Mag, lead .38 special bullets tend to shave in a .357Mag. If you shoot a bunch of them this builds up and can cause an issue when changing over to .357Mag as it can pinch the cartridge and lead to high pressures. All you have to do is make sure you ...
