  1. X-Terminator From 22.7 grains to 25.3 grains Remington 7-1/2 Primer
  2. The plating basically makes them look pretty. As for staying away from it, I have been shooting the same plated .38 Super and .357 Magnum brass since the 1960's, and have never had a problem...just look at it before you run it through the dies. If the plating is not "looking right", toss it out.
  3. I don't use either ... I'm a sierra fan. But I have a buddy in Texas who loves the MG bullets, and he shoots everything from 17 caliber to 50 caliber.
  4. If the cases were only used in the firearm you are reloading for, then only neck-sizing would be required.
  5. For the 9: CCI-550 with Herco, Bullseye, and HS-6 Winchester Small Pistol with Power Pistol For the .40: Winchester Small Pistol For the .45: CCI-300
  6. I just finished fooling around with setting-up message forums. How about trying it and letting me know how they work... http://stevespages.com/phpbb/index.php
  7. I played with them all, and decided the RCBS 1500 was the one I would spend my money on.
  8. When it take more than 1 hour to accomplish the job.
  9. For 6.5-284 Norma: http://stevespages.com/264_30.html For 6.5-284 Winchester: http://stevespages.com/264_16.html
  10. I'm going to make your life real simple: For metallic cartridges, RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Kit and RCBS Accessory Kit. For shotgun, MEC 650.
  11. You're gonna give us people who live in Montana a bad name. Hodgdon licensed Winchester powders on January 30th, 2006.
  12. 185's: WST From 4.3 grains to 5.6 grains CCI-300 Primer 200's: WST From 4.6 grains to 5.3 grains CCI-300 Primer 225 to 230's: WST From 3.8 grains to 4.9 grains CCI-300 Primer
  13. Those two powders are nowhere near the same burning characteristics. I rank Titegroup at #21 and AA-2230 at #135. The lower the number the faster the powder. Either pull the bullets or take the cartridges to your local police bomb disposal unit for detonation.
  14. I purchased several thousand "once fire, processed brass" a few years ago. By "processed" I was told it was deprimed, tumbled, and resized. I was also told it was all civilian, and no military. When my 9mm brass arrived, the first thing I noticed was that there was brass ranging from .380ACP to 10MM in the mix. In addition, there were military cases in the mix (quite a few), and the brass had not been deprimed. What was even more remarkable was that there were military cases which had had the primer crimp removed and expended civilian primers still in the pockets. (So much for "once fired".) The tumbling also left a lot to be desired. The cases looked as if they were possibly thrown in a cement mixer for around 10 minutes. What amazed me most was there was no media present in the bags. I notified the shipper (a supposedly reliable source for "once fired brass") and told him what I had received. He informed me that he had new help working and that his help wasn't "experienced". He offered to send me 500 "real" processed cases. (I had ordered 5000, but when the smoke cleared there were less than 4600.) I took him up on his order, and I received exactly what I was supposed to receive when I placed the original order. Have I ever ordered once fired brass since? No way! If I need brass I order factory and make sure I specify that the brass be all from the same lot.
  15. I have had no problems with Winchester primers of any type. But then again, the last time I purchased any was over a year ago.
  16. WST From 4.8 grains to 5.4 grains CCI-500 Primer
  17. http://stevespages.com/400p_2_180.html my load of choice is: Power Pistol From 4.6 grains to 7.3 grains Winchester WSP Primer
  18. Each gun is going to be different, but the loading range is: W-231 From 4.0 grains to 5.6 grains Winchester WSP Primer
  19. From 8.7 grains to 9.6 grains CCI-500 Primer And if you can't find SP-2 try: 70 HS-6 71 W-540 72 3N-37 73 SP-2 74 WAP
  20. If you are loading for a single gauge, the MEC 650 is good. If you are loading a LOT of a single gauge, the MEC 9000G is great. If you are loading several gauges, then get a MEC 600.
  21. SR-7625 From 3.9 grains to 5.4 grains CCI-500 Primer
