Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Works for me. I got the whole set for Valentines Day including the .380 aluminum plate. The person that order it says that they have the best customer service they have dealt with. Since hearing about the great service I'm thinking about ordering the safe storage solution. BTW, if you order from ShellSorter.com and get the .380 plate the shipping is free. Midway can't beat that @kjm103
  2. I have started to collect a large ammount of the military primmed brass. I have the Dillon Swagger but not sure how to deprime it before putting it in the swagger. I have the Dillon 550 and don't want to break a whole bunch of pins deprimming the brass. Is there a way to setup the depriming die to avoid breaking them. Really what I am asking is what do you do to the military primed .223 brass?
  3. I have heard that but have no idea how to check if it is crimped. Most of my brass is Federal, PMC or Winchester. I think I have some Lake City which might have this issue... Any way to tell by looking at the primer pocket if it is crimped? I have noticed that many of the primers I have problems with have some type of coloring between the crimp and the primer. In fact most of the Federal Cardboard boxed and PMC I have found are that way for me. What are you doing to deprime them before putting them in the press. I have the Dillon Swagger but don't know how to get the primer out before swagging. What do you do?
  4. I reload in the garage where the temperatures can peak at over a 100 with some insane Alabama humidity. I have a sweet setup that is getting even nicer tomorrow, getting a new fan! I wish I had an AC in the garage but running AC in Alabama Summer already cost $300 for power for the main house. I spend more time in the garage than in the house maybe I should switch that around. I didn't catch the environment you lived in. But safety should be a constant thought. I store my primers in the gun safe. The powder is in a fire rated safe from Home Depot. Unless you plan on storing lost of powder you can get inexpensive (not relative once you get there!!!) humidity controlled safes at your local sporting goods store. For a bench I got the scratch and dent special on counter top ($36 for 10') and two damaged cabinets ($75 each) from Lowes. You can kind of see the pictures in a blog post about my Dillon 550. A few days back I found a story about primers exploding in the machine on D9Firearms.
  5. At a book store? Around here, all the spiked hair, tie-died, unshaven, birkenstock wearing, hemp clad bookstore employees hide the gun stuff in the back. I think they get together once a month to have a bonfire and dance in circles around the warm comforting glow of free speech. Come on now!!! They aren't that bad... java script:add_smilie("","smid_5") A place to start looking for books is talking with fellow reloaders in your area. In fact my first few books and references are older than me on loan from my reloading mentor. My favorite how to reload book is twice my age. Scary??? I am still a beginner reloader and have found my favorite two books are the ABC's of Reloading by Rodney C. Jones and Ken Waters' pet loads (borrow this book unless you plan to reload many different loads or copy at the library).
