    Wet tumbling

    that part sounds like monkey mud, I’ll agree with the rest of it. I switched to wet because I load .45SACP with bullseye and it gets the inside of the brass so clean it’s easy to see my 4 grain charge. I like to see my charge. Wet is a total PITA and I have about 1500 super bright and clean...

    What’s a good size case for labradar and it’s accessories?

    I recently returned my Caldwell G2, only because the cheesy tripod that came with it was busted when it arrived. While it was an optical, I did like it for a few reasons: * Everything fit in the included carry bag * The inverted design and built in LED light source addressed many of the...

    Suppressors Best pistol caliber carbine to suppress?

    Tell you what, loading .40 with 180s and mixed headstamp is tricky. I only load 165 RNFP because of the wiggle room you get with the extra case displacement. .40 SAAMI spec for 35,000 PSI, 10mm has more displacement and 37500 psi. With 180s in .40, you don’t need much overcharge or setback...

    Suppressors Best pistol caliber carbine to suppress?

    I think it’s the other way around. .40 short & weak is 10mm for people who pee sitting down.

    .357SIG with available components

    to be fair, most my handgun shooting is indoor public range. Slowfire is the rule so I challenge myself by tightening groups. that target was over 50’ because I stood as far back as I could to keep brass from going forward of the firing line. glock 31 was the first gun I ever shot .357...

    .357SIG with available components

    I didn’t load much with blue dot but what I did I didn’t like.

    Suppressors Best pistol caliber carbine to suppress?

    From what little bits and pieces I know, I would think that 10MM would be well suited if loaded subsonic.

    .357SIG with available components

    Not great but we are getting there. 12.0 grains A#9 Ofer the Montana gold 124 .357sig bullets slowfire 50’. I put a quarter over my POA for reference. I think I can tighten that up a lot . I’m only finding about 50% of my brass so I ordered 600 starline nickel, hopefully it will stand out...

    .357SIG with available components

    Ran 20 rounds of my OCD sorted brass starting load of 10.7 AA#9 under 124 grain museum gold jacketed FN. that glock won’t never group well no matter whe I do with it, but my 229 did OK. (229 made a very nice group with .40 barrel at the wall). Anyways, vast improvements and that’s just the...

    .357SIG with available components

    I had a Caldwell G2 which is a vast improvement but still an optical. The one thing I loved was the Bluetooth app which had some manageable issues but did directly import data to the iPad and made naming and organizing groups a breeze. I’m betting labradar will copy that so I’m going to go...

    .357SIG with available components

    you've triggered my inner OCD.. thanks :( I had 549 pieces of brass, of that 158 is speer. Of that 158, 44 are stamped with something other than an "S" or are light stamps or nickle plated. of the remaining 114, there are 11 deviate more than .7 grains from the average weight of 70 grains...

    .357SIG with available components

    I'm sorting out speer and it seems that Winchester is my most common headstamp. any opinion of the Winchester? I'm setting the starline I find aside. should I mix that in with any new starline I buy or not risk it?

    looks like you have your .357sig dialed in! Unfortunatly, I have none of those powders. How do you like your labradar? I'm seriously considering getting one when I can find one.

    Should I just buy a set of star line brass?

    .357SIG with available components

    I’m throwing them on a progressive. dillon thrower. It was inconvenient so I tore it down, cleaned and polished, changes are now +/- 0.1 grain.

    .357SIG with available components

    I’ve changed my mind.... unless I have done something horribly wrong, and that’s a distinct possibility, 9.2 blue dot under a 115 FMJHP didn’t work out well. I loaded up 50 and I’m not happy with the results. Lots of failure to extract, groups were large and the recoil and muzzle flash were...

    Reloading setup from scratch on a $1500 budget

    No on the 550, I have 2 but I’d start with a rockchucker because it’s just more precise with no flex and you’ll always use one for various things like collet pulling.. Trimsit is cool I have it in .223 and .308 but for precision work I use a manual Lyman or something similar. Trim sit indexes...

    My reloading room: post yours!

    I don’t see a problem. None at all..... well, I’m down to about a pound of bulseye and my last 1500 SPP magnums.
