Read page two of the manual. It says CCI or remington primers only without explosion deflector. That leads me to think there's a higher probability of explosion with other brand primers. It's mentioned several times in the manual. http://leeprecision.com/cgi-data/instruct/LM3231.pdf Use federal or winchester at your own risk.

Powder valley also has IMR 4227 8LB jug which loads for 300 AAC. If anyone wants to split it and the shipping I'd be game for that too.

.45 ACP should be taper crimped and not roll crimped. They headspace on the rim and if you over crimp they sit to far up. Get a calipers and go to about .001".

I think they explicitly say not to use winchester and one other. If you google it you will find it. They say that they are not inferior primers but are more likely to explode when priming.

I'm in Montville.

I think a lot of them keep it on their facebook pages. I know Ottomanelli's and RTSP does.

N110 is available at powder valley but the hazmat for a small order sucks. If anyone wants to order some we could split the hazmat. I just built a 300 blackout AR and want to load for it.

I'd take 1-3k

+1 x-dies small base. The WFT is better than anything I've seen short of spending money on a Giraud. I use Giraud for .223, .308, 6.5 Grendel. I use WFT for 5.7x28 and .300 AAC (haven't loaded any but have done the prep). It's the same principals as pistol. This is how I do it, lube, size, swage (if necessary), tumble in stainless media until it looks like new (not really necessary but I like it), prime, add powder, seat and crimp. Lot's of debate on crimp. I use the RCBS TC seating die and put a very modest crimp to prevent push back in the AR. Cheers, Rob

Thanks, I don't expect this to be over quickly.

I can trade pound for pound and offer the following: 1 lb AA #7 2 lb W231 1 lb Unique 1 lb VV N140 I'm looking of up to two pounds of H110 or Lil Gun. I prefer the H110. I could also make a deal to trade small rifle magnum primers for the powder. I also have 500 or so 55 gr .224 soft points, 500 plated XTP 230 grain .45 ACP bullets. I need it for 300 AAC loading. Thanks Rob

Rcbs makes a seating die that taper crimps in one step.

+1. It's the modern day barbershop. Pull up a spot and shoot the breeze. I've never seen them talk down or chase anyone out of the place.

I have one and love it.

I'd sell 1K at what I paid. Federal.

They will work but I am not a huge fan of those primers. The cup should be thicker in a magnum primer. Also the CC041 is a similar to the CC450 but a specialized for AR format rifles. I've seen no difference between a magnum primer and the 041 primer. I use wolf, cci450 or cci041.

sorry. I was excited and hoping some folks would score.

The seater die will not provide an effective crimp even for a taper. For the .223 I believe the set comes with a sizing die, seating die and crimp die. I used to use the Lee Factory Crimp Dies after seating and they were fine. However the RCBS seating crimp dies do an amazing job in one stroke. Since I only reload single stage it removes 25% of the work. This is just my preference. Also, for the rifle dies for .223 I prefer the small base resizer dies from RCBS as well.

I've purchased reloading components with good experience. No FID.

17s have proprietary mags but there are company's that sell lowers that allow for other mags.

I'll take the 45s if NJSigfan doesn't want them.

I'm not sure what they go for or are worth. I only know it was really cool.

It was so friggin' cool. I'd give'em a ring.

I stopped in to shop and saw the S&W MP10 for just over 1600 bucks and wished I had the dough for one. it was sweet. There was an M1 Socom there too for about 1850, another one out of my league but hey I can dream!
