Re: Want to start reloading.... I'm addicted to the blue cool-aid. 650XL. Oh, and the best purchase every, a Giraud Power Trimmer

Re: ar10 question As stated before. Some do and some don't. A big difference is in the lower receiver near the extension tube. They are shaped diffently so that you can't put a DPMS upped on an Armalite Lower. You can actually put an Armalite upper on a DPMS lower but there would be a gap...

Re: New Auto bullet feeders for progressive presses I load on a 650 as well and use the powder check die set up. If it can still be used with a bullet feeder I don't see how you could get a sqib.

Re: 55 GR and 25.7 H335, your thoughts? I run the same w/24.5gr of H335 and is shoots great. I'm not sure of the advantage of running that hot. Just more wear on the barrel. Cheers.

Re: Question- when someone says they have a 1/4 moa ?? I'm not much of a benchrest shooter. I prefer a tactical course of fire. Multiple targets and multiple angels and ranges. One shot per target and without a bench. I only shoot groups to prove to myself that my equipment it sound and...

Re: DPMS SASS? Can't go wrong for the money. I have the .308 and also shoot 1/2 MOA everytime at the rang. I shoot at 200 yards and usually get 1" groups or better. I even get 1/4 MOA out of it. I load my own ammo. Match case prep, 180gr Sierra Match Kings with 44gr of Varget. $1800 is...

Re: Price Don't do it!! You will be able to load match ammo for plinker prices. You will load plinker ammo for just a bit cheaper. But you will become addicted. You will buy stuff and then more stuff. You will make good ammo and then you will spend more to make better ammo and so on and...

Re: .45 Glock Feeding Problem tnichols, I agree. This is my third Glock. I'm sure it will run 20k rounds and still be a tank. I'm just glad it ran 200 yest. Before I found the problem it wouldn't run 10 witout jamming.

Re: .45 Glock Feeding Problem Update. I first tried crimping the round more. I used the specs recommended by tnichols above. went out to the range today and ran 200 without a single problem. I just didn't put enough crimp on them. Thanks for all the help. I love learning. Cheers.

Re: .45 Glock Feeding Problem Thanks for the input. I am going to try loading a hotter round and taper the crimp more and see what happens. Then I'll try a new powder but I have 8lbs of HS6. Thanks again.

Glock model 21 is new. Less than 200 rounds through it. My reloads, once fired assorted brass, 185gr JHP bullets, 8.2gr HS6. Here is the problem. After about 5-12 rounds the slide doesn't close all the way. Upon inspection it appears something; powder particles, carbon, or possibly parts of...

Re: What happened to my brass?! +1 more. I tumble all my completed ammo. Takes off the case lube when using a progressive and makes them pretty. Cheers.

Re: Reloading bench of a friend of mine I had to do it....The guy is really a top notch shooter. Sorry Elgordo2, I wish he knew where anything is. He jokes about loosing the Cambodian family of 5 somewhere in his garage. The bench is in the garage. It was like going on safari just to get...

I was at a friend of mines house today and here is his loading bench. Does anyone see any problems here. I wish I could show the entire area. How do I help him?
