Yes, use it quite often for .223 and I've had good success with it. You will definitely need the double disk kit. Going with a single disk won't get you where you need to go for most powders. Even if you found a powder with a low enough VMD, you would still have no flexibility. Benchmark at...
As much as I hate Facebook, someone on one of the reloading groups I'm a member of posted a few pictures of modifications they've done to their Lee Auto disks that seem like a good idea. I've tried using the adjustable charge bar, but haven't been too pleased with the results when throwing...
+1 on Tupperware containers. I bought some cheap ones from walmart, cut a hole in the front, and then attached some plastic paint pourers to the front. I have limited space under my workbench, so I didn't have a lot of options. I'm not a high volume shooter, so I always clean and sort everything...
Currently 54% on the Target poll and 86% on the open carry poll. At least my vote is being counted here unlike the CNN International poll a few weeks back.
I have the 3-9x40 and love it. They say the BDC reticle is developed for a 55gr polymer tipped round, so go online or buy their SpotOn app and print off the reticle chart for your specific ammo. If you reload ammo, it's a pretty useful app.
I haven't been able to get the charge bar to work with small loads using flake powder through the Lee Pro Autodisk Powder measure. There's just not enough space at the front for the powder to flow though. I've read some suggestions on modifying the powder measure, but I've never wanted to take...
Was this statement necessary? It was an inoperable hunk of metal!! The author was using his/her liberal fear dictionary and couldn't come up with anything else since it wasn't a scary black gun.
I'd say without a doubt, the Lee classic turret is a great starter press. Some may tell you to go with a single stage first, but the Lee classic turret can be used as a single stage by taking out the indexing rod. It's a great value for the money and gives you room to grow into the hobby. Like...
My bench is in my garage as well. Keep all of my primers in an ammo can with desiccant and powder in a separate cabinet with desiccant. I also coated the exposed metal on my Lee turret press with a little CLP to keep surface rust to a minimum. Haven't had a problem with this setup yet, but would...
Fort Liberty in Avon still had one in stock after I picked mine up for $399 this past weekend. I saw a couple other LGS had them for $379 but never have them in stock. Still think that $399 is a good price,but $379 is a great price if you can actually find one in stock.
I'd look at a Tiptons Best gun vise and the Wheelers mag well attachment. As far as maintenance, if you've ever tried cleaning the bolt carrier group, invest in a carbon scraping tool. I just got a Real Avid AR15 scraper tool and it seems to be of decent quality. There are a bunch of options out...
The only die you should be concerned with being carbide would be the resizing die. Having carbide on the others would be a waste. If you are only resizing the neck, Lee's collet dies are carbide and don't require lube. If you're reloading brass that was shot only out of your bolt gun, then the...
I don't have a lot of experience with a wide variety of different pistol powders, but of those I've tried, my favorite is Hodgdon HP-38. It's versatile and accurate, and will work in any of the calibers you listed. Of those you listed, I only load 9mm (also load 45 ACP), but here are some loads...
Shooting on Purdue Campus
Another shooting in a "gun-free zone". Unclear at this point if anyone was hurt or killed. Hopefully the legislative process will allow students with a LTCH to carry on campuses soon. If you haven't already read this thread, please do. The mere presence of good guys...
