      So you want to reload but you don’t know where to begin (??)

      Curtis, I look at the whole thing from cost/round. Reloading isn't going to be cheaper it is going to get you to the range more often so you can shoot more rounds. My wife and I are able to go every two weeks to a range for a 100 rounds out of each gun. Consider you starting cost as...

      INGO Interactive Reloading Manual

      Currently in possession of 9mm 115 gr. RN and 40SW 155 gr. RN from Standard Bullet Co.. Didn't have data in my Speers for 9mm that worked. I started my load at 1.135. Bullet was too long for Walther P99. Contact between bullet and barrel rifling. At 1.110 it appeared to seat the slide in...

      Clean Brass :)

      Question. Mike you mentioned it cleans the primer pockets better. To me, being new at reloading, this implies that you are de-priming, potentially sizing and de-priming before tumbling. Is that true? I've been dry media tumbling, sorting, size and de-prime, cleaning the pocket while sorting...

      9mm Lead Bullet Reloading Issue

      Witness marks on the longer COAL 1.14. Weight is 115 grain, 0.356" diameter, RN The 1.090 is still under my 1.110 round. Speers #14 has 9mm TMJ RN as the example. at 1.135" I'll seat the bullet further. Thanks everyone. That was really quick. Back to reloading I go.

      9mm Lead Bullet Reloading Issue

      The wife and I are new to reloading. I have done 3500 rounds of 45 acp up to this point with now issues on my Dillon RL550B. I switched over to 9mm last week. Today I started to dial powder, flare, cartridge overall length (OAL) and crimp. The first one off the line I asked the misses to...

      So you want to reload but you don’t know where to begin (??)

      navy4422: Not a great deal of experience with reloading or with these products I'm about to mention. I have started and been actively reloading since November 2012. All my experience in with pistol calibers 9, 40, 45 using Dillion RL550B. For 10,11, and 12 I went to Lee precision for all of...

      Thinking about starting to reload with 1 size

      Indianabuster: I found the first post under: Ammunition and Reloading/So you want to reload but you don’t know where to begin (??) to be pretty useful for what equipment and where to get tools and parts. Lee and RCBS are the easiest to get parts from a store front.

      So you want to reload but you don’t know where to begin (??)

      I've had the same question about the life expectancy of brass being new to reloading myself. Specifically in regard to 45 ACP, 40 S&W, 9 mm Luger the answers have varied from reloader to reloader. Short answers are between 5 times to no end to the life using low loads. I have considered, and...

      Thanks Huntsville. I'll start there and keep a close eye on the reloads as they come off the press.

      So you want to reload but you don’t know where to begin (??)

      Case Inspection Sorry all - I read through the 15 pages and managed to not find the answer. Not saying it isn't out there just saying I didn't see it. Setup my Dillon RL550B this past week. I've been collected brass over the years so my first step was to sort/clean/inspect the brass...

      Hello Community

      Amy and I (Doug) are recently married. Both of us have had an interest in shooting but haven't been too active at the range in the past 5 years. The wife bought two new guns for Christmas SW MP 40 cal and Walther P22. We are new to reloading and plan on shooting our savings at the range...
