Thanks for the replies gents,

When I started out to load the 148 Gr wadcutters I consulted three sources: My copy of Lee Modern Reloading, 2nd Edition page 565 shows a starting load of Win 231 to...

Congrats to the daughter, that is a nice looking deer for anyone, let alone a first. Is that a Florida deer? You may be attracting some new hunters down there with a picture like that.

Just an update on the comments from the "flattened primer" guy and further trials.

At his suggestion, just to see what effect it had, I made up some bullets with shorter OAL...a few at 1.150" and...

I made up and shot a bunch of .38 specials, 125 grain round nose cast bullets using 4.0 grains of Win 231 and was pretty satisfied with the performance.

Then I got around to trying some .38...

Versifier,

Again, I thank you for your meaningful comments. I fully agree that the Model 59 shot the way I am shooting (supported on bench) is not highly accurate. As far as the pressure...

Well I visited the range yesterday and shot up some of my newly reloaded 9mm rounds I described above. I was a little frustrated that they were not grouping as well as I had hoped but then I...

I just found this information on the Illinoiscarry.com web site: House Bill 0048 submitted Jan 14th 2009 in the Illinois House. The purpose, as I speculated above, is to prevent...

There is a very determined core group of anti gun people who will never stop trying to disarm the American people. The Supreme Court Heller decision of last year, instead of strengthening our Second...

golddigger Jim,

Thanks for the effort and the info. I am surprised to see that all the starting loads are over 4 grains. As I posted earlier I put 3.55 grains of Win 231 behind my 125 lead round...

Thank you gents for some great information for a rookie reloader. Wild Bill, I tried your suggestion on using a spare 9mm barrel I have and instantly cleared up all my confusion about headspacing on...

Hey Wild Bill,

Thanks for a lot of good information. As far as the sizes and prices, I know I left some details out but I did buy cast lead bullets for 5.7 cents and I have been paying just less...

Baldy,
I am pretty new to reloading so I thought it was something I was doing. I have a new Dillon 550b. The primers were not wanting to seat cleanly and having seen many warnings about blowing...

Wow, no posts in this category.

Well, I'll go...

I am a new reloader although I have been a plinker and target shooter for a long time. Last winter, watching the political scene I began to...

Thanks for your insight. I especially like your comments on the progressive machine. I was led to the Dillon by a couple of buddies who are experienced loaders and in my first attempts to work...

Hello fellow reloaders.
My name is Pat and I am in Illinois near St. Louis.
I am just getting set up to start reloading although I have been a plinker for years. Recently (Last January) I started...
