Re: Dillon RT1200B Trimmer Observations Couple of questions about this. I'm using the dillon 550b but I'm actually really only getting full use out of 2 of the 4 stations (station 1 - sizing & priming and station 3 - bullet seating). Station 2 isnt getting used since the cases havent really...

Re: Disappointing First Attempt at Reloading Santo, can you tell me more about this powder measure & adapter? How accurate is it and is it worth purchasing?

Re: Reload Testing Methods Thanks Bob, that article addressed many of my same concerns

Re: Reload Testing Methods Thanks guys & yes I was previously reading about the ladder method but to be honest I was wondering if 10 rounds at each weight were enough let alone only one round of each. This might be ok for you perfect shooters but I'm trying to eliminate what was the load...

I’m new to reloading and the SH members here have been great with getting me squared away and up and running with my first batch of “working” reloads. I went off to the range today with 60 rounds - 10 rounds of each of 0.5 incremented weight breaks, results were good but it had me wondering what...

Re: Disappointing First Attempt at Reloading Yes I did I think the problem is in the sizing but I'm just not seeing it, it looks like a good fit to the gauge. And note: I'm not touching anything else till a ton more reading is done. Thanks everyone for the help/advise it is helping.
