Looks for Range (1/11)

    N320

    Just ordered 17#'s. Im done for awhile
  2. Just a note if anyone has not tried this but after I wet tumble I put the brass in a cheap dehydrator for about 30-45 min and they are dry as a bone. I have two that I bought from wally world for $25 each and can dry 500 .308 rounds at a time. Only drawback is 9mm and .223 can fall between the trays to the bottom in the models that I have. But not enough of a hassle for me to change processes.
  3. If the OP said its not convenient to transport tool heads back and forth why would taking the whole press be any better +1 for plan B
  4. Just spitballing here but if the shell plate was not tight would that not affect all stations in a similar manor? If I am interpreting the op correctly its only station 2 thats affected.
  5. I will sometimes load up to 1,000 9mm at a time, but my solution was to get a whole bunch of primer pickup tubes and comfortably sit at my kitchen table filling them all while sipping some coffee. Then I can just keep the reloading groove going without the interruption of filling up tubes, regardless of the method. That's what is most important to me, not having to stop. +1 +1
  6. If you feel you need to do something put it in your dry media tumbler that has some brass polish (whatever you use) for 30 min or so and it will be fine. I wet tumble and don't see the need though.
  7. I load on a 550 and have some IMR 4756 which is extruded and I use to make 9 minor. Do those of you that load extruded (if any) for handgun individually weigh? I only have it because I could not find any other at the time. I do check the measure about every 25 rounds because you hear the measure cutting the powder and grinding and I just want to make sure.
  8. Nope either package is what you will need. Only suggestion I have if you know which components you will be using (really can obtain) get a couple of manuals for reference and bookmark handloads.com and others for reference. Oh and read a lot on this stuff. Welcome to the family.
  9. Simple and inexpensive is great but if you are picking up brass you did not shoot you may get more brass that needs to be swedged. I would suggest that you spend just a bit more and get something that you can do mass qty's. Weather that is on press or off us up to you and your budget. A lot of advise on this forum on swedgeing.

  10. I'm a nubie but can you explain where they were only 7 fps apart? I'm just now getting a handle on what the chrono is telling me and this post kind of confused me. Sorry for the dumb question.
  11. Thanks for the suggestion. What size is it folded up? Compact for me is carrying it with the chrono stuff and all shooting stuff to the indoor range. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
  12. I have a ProChrono and I'm looking for a good tripod that meet a couple of requirements or is twice the price of the chrono. My problem is that I am 6'4' so it needs to extend to a comfortable standing height but also get low enough for bench shooting. The couple that I have found local don't fit the size requirements until I get above the $150 mark. Also they look pretty unstable at full height. Also I want it as compact as possible and that has ruled out several. Just wondering what you guys are using.
  13. Thanks, thats was the direction I was leaning and I have processed all 1k to the same spec. When you say "load and leave them during short drills" do you mean load them once and discard? RT, my Hornady match primers were not crimped. Does your brass have the NATO stamp? Mine does not but I bought it loaded to get some base line on their production ammo.
  14. Hey guys, I would like your input on how to use these different head stamps. I have about 1k total for these stamps and want to know if you have had any particular luck/disappointment with any individual head stamp. Also I was doing some research on casings and want to know what is the difference in the performance of the case between NATO and match. I will be using these for hunting and plinking. Is there one you would not use for hunting because of diminished accuracy? I did the research on where the stamps are from and found good/bad reviews on just about all of them. Thanks in advance for your input. Here is the list of stamps. All of these are NATO LC, WCC, CBC, SBS, PSD, TAA, PMJ, RA, WRA These are not NATO Hornady Match, FC, Barnes
