Cleaning the case cleaner

The steel & alum cases ARE NOT designed to be reloaded. Just because you can get away with doesn't make it a good idea IMO. I have tested the method w/ steel cases, but not alum. They have little to no ductility so proper sizing & neck tension will always be the issue. They are not designed to stretch & return but stretch & will crack. Brass is pretty cheap, lasts many, many firings. Just not worth the risk of a split...

Why am I getting key holing?
Published (2009-12-02 23:44:00)
Are you sure you're not just using really cheap targets? Try shooting some cardboard and see if the shape is the same. If it's not, you're probably just shooting cheap paper which causes it to tear in a similar way as key-holing.

3.2 Grains has been a pretty standard load for the 148 WC for a long time. It is that load listed in the Lee manual. Keyholing does not, of itself, produce 3" tears. One question how ever. Are you seating the bullets flush with the case mouth, as they are intended? if so crimp wouldn't be an issue. If you do not seat full wadcutters, hollow base down, flush with the case mouth sub-par pressures can occur hence wildly erratic velocities.

I reloaded some 1942 45ACP Steel cases by mistake. I had cleaned a large amount of cases, and did not realize that a few steel cases were in with them. They loaded o.k., but I have not fired them.

New to reloading. Need advice...

I didn't know Lee made a carbide set for the 357. All the info I've been reading indicates Lee just makes a steel set. Where did you purchase yours?

What's your favorite powder...

I just started reloading and I've used HS-6 in my 9mm rounds. It seems to work well with the Hornady 124gr bullets.

Published (2009-12-03 00:12:00)
If you're truly keyholing, that's possible because the bullet is not spinning... which means it's probably not getting the rifling or maybe a crown problem. If that's not happening it can be caused by one or more of the following: leaded bore undersized bullets worn out bore bad crown too hard lead and bullet not obturating not enough powder and bullet not obturating something wierd with bullet being sized down in loading...

9mm brass
Published (2009-12-02 08:40:00)
RCBS makes a tool to remove the swag on brass for about $30. Does require the use of a single stage press to use. If the Brass is marked with FC it's a swedged primer, if Federal it's not.

could it really be true primers...
Published (2009-12-04 20:22:00)
Got CCI small pistol promers from Cabelas today and looks like they only charged for what was shipped. large primers backordered of course. I think that maybe this is a signal from the war/internet gods or something. And I saw some golden sabers bullets for sale on-line the other day can't remember now whewre exactly and there seems to be powder around that I actually prefer.

What kind of rifle are you loading for?? If it's a bolt action get a Lee collet neck sizing die and never have to worry about lubing cases and full length resizing again. Just have to make sure brass is either virgin or originally fired in your rifle and you don't have to ever FL resize. Your lube application may not be even enough.. Is this a spray on lube?? I use a RCBS pad and roll the cases...

I've never used it, but I bet you wouldn't want to leave the tumbler on all night. The good news is, it should last for a long time. A.T.

I have never had to trim a 45 auto case. Ever. Load one and try it. *shrug* The case flips up into the extractor which holds it against the breech face anyway. It should work.

The local to me Cabela's has a good selection of Powder and decent amount of primers. Glad to see some of the shortage is slowing..

Hmm, Been awhile since I loaded WW748 in .223, but I don't recall having the problems you had shooting 55 gr FMJ's from an IMI Galil ARM w/18" barrel. Charge was 27.5 grains, and measured velocity was 3012 fps. The 25 grain load may be a bit light for this relatively slow propellant in .223, and I always used CCI 450 mag primers when using WW748. Single base propellants will tend to burn ...

http://www.nosler.com/index.php?p=15&b=270cal&s=87 This is from the Nosler sight. If you want a different powder load, let us know what powder. I'm sure someone here can help. My Hornady manual has several loads available for 130 grain .270 ballistic tips, but they aren't Nosler bullets. I will post those loads if you need them.

Correct. Berdan primed. Also subject to work hardening, the aluminum cases would not last long.

Simple Green will get the gunk out. The bowl will get dirty again so you may not want to sweat it. I put in dryer sheets with my brass and it keeps the dust and gunk to a minimum. Brass gets dirty at the range, your tumbler gets dirty cleaning it.

For IDPA, I use Titegroup and Clays - because the guys I shoot with had load data already worked up and it just let me copy the loads. I think I have load data somewhere for titegroup with a 147gr FMJ bullet. I have not loaded 147 gr jacketed bullets but have loaded a lot of 147gr plated bullets. Let me know if you want me to look for the load data.

I am new to reloading also. I just started last week and bought the Lee Breech Lock Challenger kit. After doing a lot of reading up and getting the kit I was shooting my own ammo within a couple of hours. It works really well because once the dies are set in the bushings you don't have to reset them unless you are changing calibers. I was also thinking about getting a .357 sig barrel for my glock...

Get at least two good reloading manuals, I like Speer #14 & Lyman #49. Read then, then read them again. You'll need a scale for weighing powder charges, calipers for measureing OAL. The hand priming tools from Hornady, Lee & RCBS make priming cases easier. A case lube pad & lube for sizing brass. A loading block to hold the cases during the process. You will eventually need a case trimmer as the ...

Yessir, you have crimped primer pockets!! I know this to be a fact, as I acquired 2K rounds of Federal NT( non-toxic) brass, and had to reem every single primer pocket. One thing about it, after you correct the problem.....you WILL pick it up after you fire it.

I own a Dillon...My clear plastic doesn't come apart like you are talking about...I would put a spot of clear silicone on four spots 90 degrees apart and let it cure...You will still be able to take it apart if needed but that accident won't happen anymore either!!
