  1. Being a professional means you get paid to do something, not that you are flawless or are immune from bad days, slumps or the like. Being a professional also doesn't mean you are good at it, just that you get paid for it.
  2. People will pay the high prices, that's why. High volume processing can be done with a motorized trimmer. The actual trimming and forming isn't labor intensive, it's the lubing and cleaning part that sucks. If you are shooting a bolt rifle, buying 1K and being set might be the ticket. Otherwise use a small lathe type trimmer and use a pipe cutter to take it off at the shoulder. That's how I did it before I got a Dillon trimmer.
  3. Cheerio on bottom. None on the top one.
  4. You can safely use 7/8oz data for 3/4oz loads by using the Claybuster 3/4oz wad and drop 3/4oz shot. Same column stack height and less pressure than the 7/8oz data. Pressure will not increase. Cheerio on top before crimping can help with dished crimps.
  5. Remington Gun Club hulls are the same as STS and Premier.
  6. I did not slander anyone. I also was not in business 10 years ago. I started in 2006 and am still in business. SCORE helped a lot and I networked with other business owners for mentors. Doing pretty well for myself as I have found a niche in the ammo and gun business that is very profitable and have been selling wholesale only for a little over a year now. Thanks for chiming in and setting the record straight. I got the wrong information passed onto me.
  7. Yes I know who you are and know some things about your company.The aforementioned info about your Camdex machines being in storage in favor of you using AmmoLoad machines came from Zack Wilson of MidSouth Munitions. He claimed you gave him a tour when he started his business a couple years ago and saw them in storage. My apologies for passing along bad information. I thought Zack was being truthful.
  8. I've never had a problem selling my remanufactured ammo, retail or wholesale. Starting this year (2014) I'm wholesale only and it's been wonderful. Competition varies really. Shelf space is at a premium and there are some good tricks to get on the shelf then expand from there.
  9. 135gr isn't all that heavy. It's only 9gr heavier than the standard 124gr. My shooter likes this weight better than the 124 and the comp loves the gas. Load is 177PF.
  10. Search wouldn't work on tapatalk for me last few days.Didn't know I had replied previously. Thanks.
  11. Thanks. There are a couple that are close like the .44 Mag, .45 Colt, and 44-40 WCF. Those are either .512 or .514 and the 45 AR is .516.
  12. Can 45 AutoRim be loaded on the 1050? What shellplate would fit? The 45 Colt?
  13. Slide isn't notched for the slide lock. It's not a real weapon.
  14. The large swage rod should have caught that problem in station 3. It serves as a primer pocket probe to check for a spent primer and/or a small primer case when loading large primers. When the point of the large swage rod doesn't fit in the small primer pocket, it will not let the toolhead bottom out on the shellplate and you know then there is a problem you need to check out. When that happens, first thing I check is station 3.
  15. I cast a 225gr LSWC that I load to 1.20" with 5.0gr WSF. Haven't chronoed it yet.
  16. I use MPBR for hunting rifles, but not for competition rifles.
  17. Organic sponsorship is one of the best. Sponsorship is more about supporting what you already support instead of shopping around to get free stuff.
  18. Ummm, 1.600" OAL? So 9mm loaded as long as .357 Magnum OAL?
  19. Start with companies that currently sponsor the shooting sports and contact customer service. They will direct you.
  20. I agree. I sponsor a few shooters and each one gets something different depending on what they bring to the relationship. My basic involvement of sponsoring is based on shooting skill and that determines the starting point of discount. Their skill at being a brand ambassador for my company determines their longevity and further sponsorship levels. Finding great shooters that have the skill and personality to be a brand ambassador is really difficult. It's a compromise more than a win. It's a lot of hard work both for the shooter and the sponsor to maintain the relationship. It's not all free ammo and hot chicks.
  21. The load I use for my shooters is 7.4gr WAC with a 135gr RN with HiTek coating. No smoke in a G34 open gun.
