      Reloading for Glocks

      I am a total noob, so take this with a grain of salt... I too have been a bit apprehensive about the Glocks from what I have read, but so far so good... Been reloading with the same press as you for a month or so now... 135 and 165 gr Rainier RNFP with power pistol. My G23 gen3 slightly bulges...

      Baby steps to reloading.

      I purchased everything separately too, FYI. I heard it's not the best to go with a kit if you plan on doing it forever. I like to custom-pick my tools too, though...

      Baby steps to reloading.

      total +1 to all that! The handbooks really are good for a good grasp on everything. I would advise ordering bullets and powder according to a specific recipe you find in those books so you have a good starting reference and don't have to start guessing right off the bat (like I did, dough!)...

      Rust control

      alright, thanx for the comments and suggestions guys! all good input!! Sloughfoot: that sums it up perfectly! I never thought of it like that... OK, so we have established I have a humidity problem. I do not have a moisture-o-meter, but will look into that. I never really thought it was a...

      Anybody know where a newb can get some powder?

      Tomlinson's in Churubusco has quite a bit! http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CDQQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tomlinsonshootingsupplies.com%2F&ei=4eYCUrqEA6eqyAHGiIGwAg&usg=AFQjCNFYIHKSte5q-bmMzKiJR2JgSvewkA&sig2=SfDZbilV25KVa8kTxr8Ffg&bvm=bv.50310824,d.aWc

      Rust control

      yes, they're in a basement. There's a dehumidifier about 4 feet away, so I didn't think it would be too damp... darn... Thank you for the suggestions!!! I have some 0000 steel wool... is that OK to try? I have motor oil, WD-40, Ballistol, and FP10.

      Thoughts on Kahr?

      I bought a CW40, am really impressed so far, and the thing conceals like a dream! Trigger is weird yes, but it's a good weird I won't mind training with. I love how it feels in the hand. Their other models look nice too! I wouldn't hesitate...

      .40 S.W My first run.

      Awesome, man!! Congrats! I too had to ruin a few components to learn. Wife and I just got started a few weeks ago (after months of research) and have been having a BLAST making our own ammo!! I got the Lee Classic Turret and dies for .357 and .40S&W. I had no luck finding a recipe for...

      Rust control

      Hello everyone! Here comes a NOOB question! I tried a search for this topic, but didn't find any specific to reloading, so here goes... After a few weeks of reloading, I have noticed annoying spots of rust appearing on my press handle and the dies themselves... Uploaded with ImageShack.us...

      I'm just too busy to start

      I would recommend the Lee Classic Turret press! The best of both worlds and I can load well over 100 per hour, not rushing. I had been saving all the brass I could find, which helped with the start up costs. Lee brand really rules and is high-quality stuff for the money!!

      Current LTCH Wait

      After a bit-over-6-month wait, my wife and I both received our licenses yesterday!! Yay!! ...finally!! Looking at CM40 to carry (the G23 is a bit too big for my skinny ass!)...

      Primers?????

      Tomlinson's up here in Churubusco has primers (WSP, WSPM, CCI550, Wolf rifle, call to be sure what they have in stock)! ...but that's a bit of a far drive 4 U...

      How long do you look for your brass?

      I stay until I find it all, but the range I go to is usually vacant, so it's no big deal. I usually end up finding more than I came with too!

      New to reloading

      Another huge +1 for the Lee Classic Turret Press!! I have been loading .40S&W and .357 on it for a few weeks now and it was extremely easy and fun for me, a total noob to reloading, to get up and running. Lee products are very high-quality for the money. I am super impressed with their...
