i de prime and resize on a 30+ year old rock chucker that was given to me by a family member . its a great press but i had same prob as op, primers everywhere . i cut a piece of a drinking straw (as long as i could get in without binding) and put it in the ram and made sure the opening was lined...

ive owned it prob 7 years or so I had it on a 10/22 I previously owned .I sold that 10/22 a couple years ago and put the bipod on a savage 22 auto I have .then when I bought the take down it went to that . not sure exactly how many times its been used I haven't had any issues with it . I bought...

Ive got a caldwell on my 10/22 takedown. Im happy with it .

I just put a cheap simmons 4x32 rimfire scope on my take down and I'm for the most part happy with it . its back a little farther than id like it to be in order to fit in the carry case that came with the gun, but still usable . I plan on ordering a set or warne quick detach rings for it...

sorry didn't see other post on same topic

I recently bought a 10/22 takedown and absolutely love it . I'm mostly a handgun shooter for the simple fact I just don't like messing with long guns , as far as lugging them around .this is where the 10/22 take down is great, just break it down put it in its own carry case maybe put a few...

9mm case is tapered 380 is not . also 9mm is slightly longer than 380. buy a set of 9mm dies , I would recommend rcbs carbide dies with a lee crimp die but if you wanted to save a few dollars you could buy the lee 4 die set .

ive been using trail boss and unique for 45 colt . ive got 2 full 9 0z jugs and enough for about 50 or so rounds left in a 3rd bottle . I stumbled across the 2 full jugs I have at a local shop a few months ago and picked them up . I like it its a great powder for 45 colt and probably other...

I like 6 gr of unique with a 158 gr lead bullet for a plinker . 4.5 gr of titegroup is a nice plinker load too .

well guys sorry to say it but I left the single seven go today .ive been trying to consolidate calibers that I reload for I traded off my gp 100 in 327 a while back and have just been kinda loosing interest in the caliber so unfortunately the single seven was on the chopping block . its not...

I own a 7.5 inch single seven and used to own a gp100 in 327 . ive been loading my own cast 90 gr swc bullet sized at .314 tumble lubed . ive had decent groups and accuracy shooting 25 yards bench rested with hp38,700x,and 4227 .theres a fair amount of load data for the 327 on hodgdon's web...

yes it has done ok by me .I'm not downing or trash talking it ,I'm not saying its ready for the scrap pile either .its just showing some wear . I was just thinking of replacing it with something a little stronger or heavier .a relative and I both bought lyman t mag 2 turret presses a while back...

ive got a challenger breech lock here that I bought reconditioned from lee about 6 or 7 years ago . 1st thing to happen to it was the button you push to release the bushing stuck in so I just ended up putting 1 of the bushing in with red lock tight . I don't do any loading on this press I just...

ive been a fan of the 327 ever since it was released in 2008 and bought 1 in a gp100 shortly after they came out . its fun to shoot ,easy to load and cast for .I'm not sure how availability is on brass but at 1 time it wasn't so easy to find . I did end up trading off my gp100 after I bought my...

I also just loaded up some 45 acp rounds with 700x I'm thinking I used 4.2 or 4.3 gr under a 230 lrn . I usually use bullseye for 45 acp but was trying to clean up some powder on my shelf that just had a small amount left . I haven't had a chance to fire them yet .
