Redding Pro Series for everything.

What is the going rate for this stuff and why is it so expensive? There's got to be a better way.
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.

Cheerio on bottom. None on the top one.

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.

Remington Gun Club hulls are the same as STS and Premier.

I have no idea who Zack Miller is nor do I ever remember anyone from MidSouth Munitions being in my shop, next time before you make any statements as you did you need to check with the person(s) you are talking about, slander is such a dirty word. By some of some old posts I read about you & your company from 10 years ago you were selling out & going out of business, it seems that it is old news and no need to carry this thread any longer. Good luck in any future endeavors.......................

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.

Yes I know who you are and know some things about your company.Just reading old posts to warm up from our -25 F Wind Chill and got a chuckle out of the post from "FREAKSHOW", I have 18 Camdex Machines, and have been using them for over 28 years along with GREAT Customer Service from Tom & Bob. But for someone that does not who I am or anything about my company to state my machines are in storage is quite humorous & sad at the same time!
Dennis, the owner of Precision Cartridge, Inc
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.

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.

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.

Search wouldn't work on tapatalk for me last few days.If you had searched, you would have had the answer yesterday.
Didn't know I had replied previously. Thanks.

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.

Can 45 AutoRim be loaded on the 1050? What shellplate would fit? The 45 Colt?
-
Slide isn't notched for the slide lock. It's not a real weapon.

I was loading 45 ACP with what I thought was a bag of large primer only brass. What I found after dissassembling the press was that a piece of small primer brass made its way into the press.
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.

6gr WSF

I cast a 225gr LSWC that I load to 1.20" with 5.0gr WSF. Haven't chronoed it yet.

I use MPBR for hunting rifles, but not for competition rifles.

The companies whose logos I have on my jersey are companies I believed in and used their products before I got anything from them.
Organic sponsorship is one of the best. Sponsorship is more about supporting what you already support instead of shopping around to get free stuff.

I hope so.

Ummm, 1.600" OAL? So 9mm loaded as long as .357 Magnum OAL?
-
Start with companies that currently sponsor the shooting sports and contact customer service. They will direct you.
-
what does sponsorship mean to you? get paid to shoot? free bullets? there are all levels ofsponsorship, but if you want ot get paid to shoot you beeter be in the top 5% of the comp shooters. Being paid by a company to shoot is not all about shooting, it a lot of marketing and industry shows. Its hard on family. Also, just because you can shoot well does not matter if one does not have the peronality or skills to rep a company.
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.

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.

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.
