    Reddings new case resizing die G-Rx

    Check this out. From the article is seems only 40 s&w is the only caliber but if they release one for 9mm I am sure I will get one. The die resizes the full length of the brass to take out the bulge of fired brass. Redding G-Rx Die

    Primer / Case inspection

    Hi guys, after reading about case exploding thread, I was hoping that someone would be able to post pictures of good primers and bad primers and the signs of over pressure, seating depth, etc. I searched this site and the internet and did not come across much. Thanks in advance

    LNL Power Case Prep Center Hornady

    I just got the Midsouth Shooters catalog and this thing is on the front page. I'm eyeballing it and it looks to be a giant pain in the ass for $313. Anyone have one that can do a review? Do you have to stop and screw each head in when switching tasks? I plan on sticking with the systems I...

    Case necks: Lubed or Dry?

    When I started shooting HP, I was using an inherited can thingy to moly-lube all casenecks before sizing. Left the stuff in and fired away. It was an M1 Garand, so MOA was about all it could ever do anyway. I've left Dillon's lanolin lube in the necks, and now Hornady One Shot. In the interests...

    Bullet and Case variances - Help for a newb?

    To start with, I'm brand new to reloading. In fact, I haven't reloaded a single round yet. My last two shipments of gear arrive next week. So anyways, years ago I saw a special on Army snipers, I believe, and they showed the armory guys reloading ammunition. They were weighing the cases and...

    Been reloading for 10, err, make that 15 years now and tonight I got my first stuck case. A friend asked me to make him some .416 Rem Mag so he got me the components and a brand new set of Hornady dies. Lubed the cases like I do my .308 with Hornady one-shot on all sides and went to sizing...

    Which case trimmer?

    I need a case trimmer. Right now I use an RCBS Trim Pro with my battery pack drill motor for power. It's OK on .30 cal cases because I only do them 100 at a time. BUT, I have 3800 pieces of .223 I need to start processing and I need a better trimmer option. I know, the Giraud, but that's $500...

    Gunsmithing Irregular Case Mouths

    I am having irregular case mouth dents on fired cases in a bolt gun. I am being very careful when I remove the fired cases and make sure they do not hit the ground and get dented. Accuracy is very poor. The dents on the mouth of cases are flat spots that are very noticeable and the mouth is...

    Lube the inside of case necks when resizing?

    I've got a friend who has been reloading for 15 years, and he does not. I have been, but it is a PITA because it adds time. What say you?
