    Looks like a game changer for Dillon precision reloaders

    https://entirelycrimson.com/collections/dillon-super-1050/products/progressive-powder-funnel This seems to solve everything that isn't ideal about the Area 419 adapter, though I have to admit, I just ordered it and can't say for sure. But definitely more secure, and looks more forgiving.

    Which brand of sizing die pushes the shoulder back the most

    Assuming you screw the die all the way to the shellplate, which brand, or sub brand, is going to give you the most shoulder bump? Thanks in advance.

    Reloading for a compensated 9mm

    So my wife, in her great generosity, bought me a compensated 9mm pistol for my birthday. Only shot it a little, but what I read is that the more muzzle pressure, as opposed to chamber pressure, you have, the flatter the comp makes it shoot because of physics or something. Anyway, I was...

    p10c Question

    I know a few of you out there shoot these. I was wondering if anybody had used any of the aftermarket slide releases. I've had two stock slide releases sheer off, so I am thinking of going with Apex or CZC, but I already run into catching the stock one from time to time with my thumb and not...

    Micron Precision Dies

    I've been using these for sizing dies for a while now, and they are really nice. Easy to use, consistent, basically zero runout. A significant step above Whidden. I've not use the SAC sizers, so I can't comment about them. Yesterday I received two seating dies from them and Holy Shit are...

    MAST 300 blackout brass

    I just came across a couple thousand of these cases in my shop and wanted to know if anybody had intel on them. I've been using Starline, and don't know the case capacity difference, or whether the MAST stuff is garbage. I'm not close to a hot load, and Starline generally has low water...

    Legit worth it Dillon upgrade

    Anybody who uses a casefeeder knows that they, well, suck. The motors are weak, you can't put too many cases in or it will bog down. Brass gets snagged on the wedge, they need TLC while you are loading, and if you are doing something that goes fast, like rollsizing, they are a constant...

    Powder Charge SDs

    What do you guys find to be acceptable standard deviations in powder charge for 40gn class rounds (308, 6.5s.) In other words, what will you accept from throwing charges before you go into weighing them? SD of .05 grains, .1 grains, .2 grains? I realize that the distance being shot is a big...

    Lock Nut for Dillon 1500 Trimmer

    Before I start in tapping the weird upper lock ring so that I can set and forget trim length on various dies, does anybody have a better off the shelf solution for setting trim length? I can't say I've ever seen another anything in that thread pitch.

    50 BMG loading

    Hi, just starting loading 50 bmg for mag fed bolt action. Am I going to want to crimp the loaded rounds given the amount of recoil? Generally I crimp for semi auto rifle and pistol only. Thanks in advance.

    6.5 PRC load development

    So, I got some of the new Lapua brass, and looking to run 144 LHRTs at 3050 or so, I loaded up rounds from 54.5 to 58 grains of Rl26 at 2.945 OAL. Surprisingly, even at 58 grains and 3125 fps, there was absolutely no sign of pressure. Brass looked identical to 54.5 grains, no heavy bolt lift...

    Reloder 33 in 6.5 PRC

    So, Quickload tells me that I am going to get my best velocity at the lowest pressure with RL-33. Sierra tells me the same thing. Hornady doesn't even list it as a powder option. It looks like it could be just a little slow for the round, but maybe not. Does anybody have experience with RL...

    Sidewinder vs Hellfire system

    If I am going to be shooting nearly 100% suppressed, is there any advantage to one system or the other as far as just being a suppressor mount system from TBAC cans?

    Ecco Titan QD conversion

    So, I just got this back from Ecco. Looks awesome. They are super nice to deal with and do really good work. Here is my question. I was planning on running an area 419 setup for it, but I realize that the original mount had a brake in the blast chamber, and the 419 will not. I don't know if...

    Jury Nullification and Anal Sex - a case study

    So, in the Smash or Pass thread it came up that maybe if we had a different makeup of jurors, we would get better case law. I thought I would pass on my one day attempt at jury nullification. I was living in an unnamed city for work, and was called to jury duty. I was selected and the trial...

    Suppressors AAC Titan info

    I have one of these but never really used it because I couldn't find mounts. Now Ecco is going to make it into something I can mount on rifles, which is great, but I was wondering if anybody had experience with this can, and could tell me positives and negatives they found with it. I also have...

    Autothrow choking on N570

    Loading a batch of 300 Norma and my throw is choking relatively frequently on N570. Is this a known issue because of the big, tough kernels, or can i do something to deal with it? Thanks in advance.

    Bad LMT Barrel

    So, my experience with LMT has been uniformly good with the exception of one shit barrel. I have an 11.5" 556 that won't shoot inside 4 inches. Pissed me off enough that I pretty much stopped shooting the rifle, even with other barrels. Swapped in my 10.5" today, which is a barrel length I...

    Optic for 16" AR 10

    Kind of confused as to which way to go on this. Not sure if I want a lpvo, or something in the mid range. Most shooting is within 500 on this, but it also isn't like I do CQB or anything. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. There really isn't a price range per se, but I would like to...
