Beginner reloading set up
I also like using an Endoscope WIFI camera outputting to an old tablet. One quick glance and there is no doubt about powder being there. I use the Lee Pro auto disc and have loaded THOUSANDS of rounds and it has never failed to drop a load. I cant say that for the Auto Drum. I dont have luck with those at all. The Pro Auto Disc is so accurate with most powders it even amazes me.

Beginner reloading set up
There is no press that you can just sit on a table. They need to be bolted down securely so there is no flexing. They do make complete stands that work good too. I agree with the fact that the Lee Classic turret is a great starter press. You cant realize the full speed of a progressive when you are first starting off. You NEED to go SLOW until you learn the ropes. The Redding T7 Turret press will also last forever and you can do plenty of quality rounds on it. Be prepared to spend more on other tooling than you do on the press. It is a never ending hobby and in no way cheap. I am loading these right now...to the range tomorrow to get velocities.. GFH tomorrow at noon if anyone want to shoot I have guest passes to use..let me know.

I saw a video of a guy using a web cam to highlight the pointer on his scale. I looked around and found a nice cheap(5.00) stand for an Iphone, grabbed an old Iphone 6s I had lying around and here ya go... you have to put the phone on video so it doesnt shut off but it works great.- WTH
Like losing your right arm...- Light primer strikes
Just try another type of ammo immediately so you know for sure if it is just that ammo or the gun.- Light primer strikes
There is a lot of crappy factory ammo out there. A name like Remington and you cant even trust them with your life. A few different instructors told me that they have been seeing some real shit ammo too. For me...I'll continue to make my own. I know it works. ALL of them.- Colt Agent 38 Special
up- The Tax Man Commeth
27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford, 47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving. Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get. Tax and spend is all they know. Never cut anything. This state sucks.- Colt Agent 38 Special
To the top. I need to get this sold. Make me an offer- * Spring has Sprung Clay & Rifle Shoot * 5-19 * Stafford Forge WMA
I'll be driving right past you on the way to AC with the Mrs. Next time for sure.- Colt Agent 38 Special

NJ Police have silencers? Is that legal?- Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)
Been reloading since 1974. Never had a primer not go off. No need to test them...even if there was a test.- password stuff
Get a RecZone Password safe. They are cheap. Every password I ever had is in that safe. They work great.- Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)
There cannot be, nor will there ever be a squib from one of my loads. My camera shows me the powder in the case of every round. There are no mistakes. I even weigh every loaded round for consistency. The squib will never get by my scrutiny...- Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)
I have a few boxes of the factory ammo. That is what I am carrying. I bought these to duplicate the factory load so I can use them for practice. Practice with what you carry right? This way is WAY cheaper than a dollar a shot or so. Instead of shooting FMJ I can shoot these for the same price or less.- Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)
I tested 5.2, 5.5, and 5.7grains. All three loads cycled fine in all of my 9mm's. The 5.7 is pretty snappy but showed no sign of overpressure. I am sure they can go hotter. i will load up a few more. This was my original testing so I am not done. Besides the fact that I dont know too many humans with vitals deeper than 10 inches into their chest. I believe they will "do the job" just fine.- Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)
He told me today he does have more. Send me a PM. I even bought some once fired Federal Nickel brass to duplicate the factory load as close as I can get. I am pretty close. I wouldnt want to get hit with these thats for sure.- Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)
I just picked up 2000 105 Grain Federal Guard Dog Projectiles. Loaded with 5.5 Grains Winchester Autocomp they rock.- New member
