      Length question for .223/5.56 brass

      They are within SAAMI specs for 223 Winchester (1.760-.030) if you are concerned about accuracy separate and shoot as a group. Will not hurt gun

      357 maximum

      AA 1680 is a great powder for the MAX look at Accurate Arms data for the T/C not the pistol data. Charges for 180 gr bullets range from 25.5 to 30 g.r. The Hornady SSPB is no longer available, but you will find the 180 gun Speer works just fine however it is .06 inches shorter so adjust seating...

      Questions On Cleaning Dies

      I use Hoppes, I like the smell. I clean often if using lead bullets, less with jacketed . The copper would be from shaving the bullet when seating, brass could be introduced from trimming or chamfering. The grease would be from lead bullet lube or sizing material. I do not know enough about what...

      ADVICE NEEDED! Dillon 550 or 650?

      I second the comment about STARTING with a single stage press. A Forster Co-ax, or an RCBS Rock Chucker. I have both, plus a couple of Lee presses each has it's place. If however, you must have a progressive go with the 650, I have one of those also. The extra station (5 holes vs. 4) gives you...

      Primers buying guide?

      Cabbalas just had them on sale at 20% off don't know if it is still on. Oak wood Gun Club usually has a bunch. Blythes has some usually but not always. Mail order is not a deal as Hazmat runs $25.00+ the cost of the primers or powder.

      Check my 9mm load for me

      Dippers are only good to drop the charge into the pan on the scale.

      Hornady or Speer?

      Don't be overly concerned about Hornady / Speer they are both good bullet companies. You will find that your gun will tell you which bullet it prefers. Titegroup of the powders you have, would be my preference for the 115 gr bullets in a 9mm, my 9s prefer other powders with their pet loads...

      Indiana Hunting Rifle Cartridge Change

      I just read this entire thread and your petition. Current Indiana regulations mandate a cartridge that will adequately and humanly kill a deer at reasonable ranges. In Indiana we are lucky to be able to use rifles, not too many years go that was not the case. Your list of cartridges leaves...
