Thanks guys when I get a chance to go back out and mess around a little then I will get back to you on this.

Those were not seated, I have not heard about different seating dies, as far as the bell I have played with that also. I was having this happen more with more bell so I backed the powder die to where the bell is very slight

Ok here is an issue I am having loading 45s the bullet seats crooked. I am using Berrys 185gr hbrn projectiles. My brass before it gets powder is .468 after it gets powder it's .479 the projectile is .595 long. I have to very carefully make sure the projectile is very straight when I set in on the brass before seating, and then sometimes it still goes crooked. This is 100 times more precise than with 38s or 40s or 44. Here is a pic of the dies and the finished product. If I load 100 rounds 10 need to be redone. What are your thoughts? These are the real bad ones that did not go to the crimp die.

Thank you for your responses I have some research to do now thank you dirty rod for the links. My budget will be in the 5-$800 range and perhaps 1k if I find something I just can't shoot without. Distance shooting for me right now is about 90yds but if I do get into this I am willing to join a shooting club that you have to qualify to shoot but distance out to 1000 yds. Right now I'm just tinkering with the thoughts of trying out a 762x51 rifle I'm saving for and might get it next summer.

I have several rifles but just go to the range and plank around. For the 100 yd I don't really need a scope but over the last week I have noticed my eyes changing. Still 100yd and a decent iron sight, and I'm alright, but I know next to nothing about scopes, for instance should I buy a nice one and is their quick mounts that I can interchange from rifle to rifle with minimum adjustments? Or is it one scope one rifle. I wouldn't even know a nice scope from the pos I have on an ole lever action 30-30. I'm kind of looking for something that has some distance to it. I have been looking to buy a 308 and start to get into some distance shooting. But I would like to see my targets from the bench when I am working up a new load. Cause lets face it walking down range after every ten shots suck.

I have a whole bag of brass from this gun. It all looks the same.

Here is the brass it looks like it is getting smashed and has scrapes down the side that is smashed.

Just helping out?

The answer I found is an app that cost $1.99 so it is not free. I seldom use tap talk just for uploading pics. Never tried to upload a pic here. Has anyone tried the ip board app.

If their is a non dealer brass section why am I seeing brass being sold in the classified section? Or did we do away with that section.

I read somewhere bruce grey says they don't do a darn thing. fwiw

Got the brass today and it was from hitting the ejection port so thank you fuss for the heads up on what to look for.

Thanks guys! Oh how I do love this forum.

Hey thanks for the feedback I'll post more info when I get eyes and hands on brass

Hey guys a friend of mine just got a mk model 70 and was a bit concerned about it putting a dent in the side of the brass I don't think it is a big deal but thought it better to ask someone more familiar with 1911. Not sure how big the dent is he is going to mail me some rounds and let me take a look. I will try to post pics if I think it is too extream. Just wondering what might be the cause of the dent.

It was easy for me I looked for about 4 months I knew it was between rcbs and dillon, I knew I was going to change calibers often to keep up with what I shoot. So rcbs was out then I found a great deal on a package 550b and the rest is up in smoke.

I'm sure I have posted this before but I live all the help I get on this site. Thank you all so much.

So I am looking for info on scopes i know very little next to nothing about modern day scopes. Where can I find general info on scopes? I would like to read about them and what I dont understand I can comeback and ask even sillier questions. I'm now a sponge hit me with what you got.

I bought a blue a tear ago because I read so much about their no bs warranty. Being a newbie to this reloading I have had questions they gave me answers. I had one broken part, had new part 3 working days later. So buying my press was one of my better life buys. The best thing about a great warranty is a great product that doesn't need the warranty.

Price was right and once I figure them out I plan on trying to wear them out. I don't decriminate on died. But I heard a great joke today. I never thought about buying a S&W until I held a glock

Loving the feedback

Ok I was only dumping 5 charges back in the hopper before starting to weigh them on scale. Thanks for the heads up

Thanks for the info. I was trying to work up a new load for 44 mag this past weekend. I had never made 44 before and the powder dispenser is one of the older ones. I was trying to climb .2 increments and my dispenser was varying .6gr either .3 high or .3 low and I finally did it as a single stage and checked each round. But I was running with very small amounts of powder in the hopper. These 44 have kicked my butt. I will be so happy when I can make the switch back to anything other than 44.

Thank you for the responses I will look for another die and do four step on these I never heard of keeping shells in all stations kind of makes since but the single case will only travel so far anyway I just hate messing up 44 mag brass it's too hard to come across.

Double charge: shot in the mouth came out the ears
