I have a two die set the seating die says rcbs 223 rem seat 13. Do I also need a crimp die or does the seating die seat the bullet with enough case neck pressure

Thanks guys this is more involved than reloading for pistol but its very interesting as I get older it keeps me from getting bored

So now someone told me to seat and crimp the 223 in two different stages not all at the same time is that the better way

I am knew to rifle so what do you mean by more barrel life I am thinking you wear out the barrel faster and how many rounds are we talking roughly

Thinking of getting one of the Ruger precision rifles but I am not sure what the differences in the two rounds are. Any body have any opinions on the two rounds

thanks for all the info I am going to check out the two bench primers.

I am just starting loading 223 and I have setup a lyman T-Mag ll press. So far so good and what I was wondering is does anyone have a recommendation for a priming system that works good. I do not have the primer system for this press. looking at a hand primer or something

have the scores been posted yet

any results posted yet

That would probably work we are about a three hour drive away myself and one other will sign up for the shoot tomorrow when we get home from work

What time would we have to be there to startshooting sat pm

Am or pm and on what days

Are there any openings left? And if so for what days

Thanks I will be ordering some and give it a try.

ok what about this I have new sti 140 mm tubes in 40 would bolen springs and followers and a taran 3mm base pad allow me 21 rounds in it

Has anyone tried the new MBX Extreme competion magazines? If so can you tell me how they perform and any other info. I was thinking get one in 40 cal. Do the 40 cal hold 21 rounds.

great and thanks it does help very much

Thank you for the link. I have never been to this range and I was wondering what the terrain is like, flat hilly, gravel, grass

Are the stages posted yet ?

Doc says my Basil joints are gone and will eventually need surgery. Have heard great things about the results after the surgery but I hear the surgery is extremely painful and a long recovery time. I have been looking for someone who has had the surgery to talk to but have not found anyone yet.

As time tics by I am starting to feel a little arthritis in my right thumb when i reach for the mag release on my SS 1911. I'm sure other people have run into this problem also and would like to hear about anything they have found to help with this problem. Perhaps a certain mag button or different spring perhaps. Also has anyone ever had that type of surgery done on their thumbs where they remove a couple of bones and then take a piece of tendon from your arm and place it where the thumb joint is. Just thinking ahead and trying to stay ahead of the problem. Thanks

I use to use a 180 gr jacketed truncated cone in 40 caliber. When I switched to a 180 gr jacketed hollow points the accuracy improved. Both bullets were the same brand Zero's. So now I was thinking of doing the same with 45 acp loads only in 230 gr. Anybody have any oponions on this does the accuracy improve when you use a hollow point.

Thanks for all of the info I will go to work on it and see if I can fix it

I have 9mm STI mags with grams follower and spring and a STI base pad. Two of the mags have steel spacers and the third does not. All the mags do not feed the last round and the slide locks open. Now I have a stock STI mag and follower and it feeds fine and it feeds the last round. So what is the problem and where do I start to fix it. I am running these in a STI edge.

The dreaded arthritis is starting to creep into my hands a little and I am looking for a mag loader that will work on STI or SV double stack magazines in 40 cal. Has anyone found one that works
