      Get ready for another round of attacks on gun ownership

      If there had been a law that REQUIRED everyone to carry a weapon and be trained on how to use it I bet the outcome would have been different!

      Get ready for another round of attacks on gun ownership

      The bodies in Colorado aren't even cold yet and the gun control nuts are already drolling over all the hay they hope to make with the latest tragedy propogated by an insane man with a gun. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/21/opinion/weve-seen-this-movie-before.html

      Bullet setback. I'm stuck

      I'll take another look at it tonight. I believe it is contacting the shell plate. Do you know of any reference that would show what a dangerous amount of setback would be? I've read that the pressure increase caused by bullet setback is exponential and that you can go from "nothing to worry...

      Bullet setback. I'm stuck

      True. But if I can get the federal brass to work with these dies and berry's bullets then I'll be ok with that.

      Bullet setback. I'm stuck

      the federal brass appears to be about .001-.002 thinner. (according to my un-calibrated calipers)

      Bullet setback. I'm stuck

      definately seems to be a brass issue. I tried Aguilla brass and it was fine as well. I suppose I could try a different bullet in the federal and see if that works. It won't work with montana gold FMJ's though. Any suggestions? I'd like to try Berry's plated bullets. I think they are .356...

      Bullet setback. I'm stuck

      I discovered that the Remington brass doesn't seem to have the issue but the federal brass does. That sucks because I have a lot of federal brass. Is there anything I can do to make the federal brass work (assuming it's a brass issue)

      Bullet setback. I'm stuck

      no, no sign of that. With the 115gr fmj bullets and AA#5 the OAL is 1.1. I shoot factory ammo with OAL of 1.5 all the time so I'm confident that I don't have an issue with the barrel. I don't think it is a crimp issue because the taper crimp isn't what prevents setback. It should be the...

      Bullet setback. I'm stuck

      It's mixed headstamp. 115gr FMJ montana gold bullets. I adjusted the decapping/sizing die so that it just barely touches the shell plate when the ram is all the way up. I'm only crimping so that the case wall is straight. No crimp against the bullet.

      Bullet setback. I'm stuck

      gotcha. I use a case gage for that and have had no issues with rounds sliding freely and fully into it.

      Bullet setback. I'm stuck

      there doesn't appear to be a way to remove it from the hornady die. I set it so that it doesn't even make a perceptible bell in the case...just enough to barely set a bullet in and I still have the same issue. Maybe my sizing die is crap.

      Bullet setback. I'm stuck

      I'm not sure I see how this will do anything for the setback issue? The OAL is fine before chambering.

      Bullet setback. I'm stuck

      Bullet setback. help. what's wrong? I'm new to reloading and started setting up my dies and I'm having trouble with bullet setback. Here is the setup. Hornady LNL AP using Hornady new dimension 3 die set with taper crimp and bullet seater single die. (9mm lugar) sizing die is set to where...

      First Reloading Experience

      I emailed Berry's and they said that all of their plated bullets are double struck. There is no longer an option for any other kind. So there you go!

      First Reloading Experience

      Normally I would agree but Accurate has gone to all the trouble of working with Berry's Bullets to get accurate load data specific to their plated bullets. But then the data they publish is for bullets that don't match up with what is for sale at Berry's. :dunno: I just figure I must be missing...

      is it legal to sell powder FTF

      Is there any law against selling powder and/or primers FTF in Indiana? If a guy had some extra powder or primers he didn't need could he sell them to another person?

      First Reloading Experience

      My mistake. It is double struck. But, there are no 115gr bullets that are labled as double struck on the Berry's website (at least I couldn't find them). There is no 115gr RN data for the powder. So I'm still curious why the load data (which they say was compiled with the help of Berry's) is...

      First Reloading Experience

      I was looking at picking up some Berry's plated bullets but I have a question. I use #5 powder as well and their load data only lists BRY RNDS for 115gr bullets. It lists BRY RN for 124gr. When I go to Berry's website I can't find anything they call "double stamped" which is what the accurate...
