    Do you recognize this water hole?

    It does look familiar.

    Seating plugs for 10mm/ .40

    You have your seating die improperly set up. Back the seating die out and then screw the seating stem in. That way the bullet is completely seated before the crimp starts. You don't have to do it in two operations!! I got the seating part down now. Have been seating in the RCBS die and got a Lee factory crimp die (which I had already ordered for a bulge buster kit) so I have been using 2 separate presses to complete the rounds. I did finally see the note in the instructions to back out the seating die for 10 mm so I will still try to get it down to one operation once I get a load dialed in. Thanks
  3. Hey all, Just wondering if anyone has first hand experience with different seating plugs in the RCBS dies. I have a box of Hornady 180 grain xtp that gets crushed before I can finish seating them in both the 10mm and .40 S&W. By getting crushed I mean that the hollow point starts to cave in. I have tried both seating plugs that came with the dies, expanding the cases a tad more, seating without crimping, etc. I found additional seating plugs for the dies that are specifically for Speer Gold Dots and was thinking about picking them up. Wanted to see if anyone has used them on XTP'S with success or any other seating plug options out there before I take the plunge.

    Seating plugs for 10mm/ .40

    I am flaring the brass. I will try again seating without crimping and see what happens. I stopped after only a couple of failures.
  5. Got an email from them in just a few hours containing the data. Time to hit the bench. I have a bunch of Barnes to load as well and I think I hear an Elk begging to be put down with this.
  6. I got a bunch of free Sierra projectiles for 500 S&W and would love to throw them downrange if I could find data. I was unable to find much online and prefer to use manufacturers data so I went to purchase a Sierra manual only to find the 500 not listed? The listing on the back of the book anyway didn't show 500 Smith. I want to make sure before I buy that it is in there. Can anyone shine some light?
  7. I did get a look at a manual today and the 500 is not in it. I can't believe the manual would be too old, 500 s&w has been around for a while. They make the bullets, but don't list any .50 cal loadings for rifle or pistol. I'm going to email them and see what they say.

    Glock 6" 10mm barrel

    Yeah, it was a no go. Breach block is bigger on the G20 both longer and wider. G20 and G21 are same frame size. G22 and G17 and G31 are same same... same with the 17 having smaller breach face, or maybe just different extractor. The G20 mags dont fit in the G22 buuut I got a 10mm round into the G22 mag and it seated with the slide locked back. I stopped there. I want the 6" barrel anyway. I have a red dot mount for my G20 and think it needs to take a pig. 6" barrel is obviously mandatory for this task as well. Expect a pm from me.

    Glock 6" 10mm barrel

    I don't think 10mm will swap to a smaller frame? I would consider if it did. I have a g22 and a g20. I may try it when I get home.

    416 Rigby brass and ammo

    From a relatives estate. Pretty sure all of the fired cases were from a Ruger #1 100 once fired nickel plated Federal cases $ SPF I have 6 boxes of loaded ammo from Conely Precision Cartridge. A brief web search didn't bring up anything recent and the past didn't look great. What I found was poor reviews mostly related to customer service, inferior product. This company is likely out of business and if it was me, I would not trust the ammo, not that I think it is dangerous to shoot. I would think if your going to fire your 416 Rigby, it's not for fun or plinking but for serious game or checking accuracy. This ammo may not excel in either department so why bother? I have fired the 416 #1, unfortunately I dont think it was with this ammo and I don't think my relative shot much of it either (there are only 5 fired and no other Norma brass in the lot) and we never discussed it. I will price them taking the value of the components, but the labor to pull them into account. 1 box of 20 Norma brass, Hornady 400gr fmj projectile $25 1 box of 20 Norma brass, Barnes TSX 350 gr $30 1 box of 20 Norma brass, Swift A-frame 400 gr $25 1 box of 20 Norma brass, Barnes TSX 400gr $30 1 box of 20 Norma bass, Nosler Partition 400 gr $25 1 box of 15 Norma brass, Barnes 400 gr round nose solid, 5 fired Norma cases $25 I am local to Tucson, but get to Phoenix area pretty often. PM me a cell# and we can meet up. Trades or partial trades are mentioned in my 300 wby mag thread
  20. From a relatives estate. These were all fired from a Remington 700 70 once fired nickel plated federal cases. 143 fired Weatherby branded brass cases. 30 de capped Weatherby branded brass cases. All cases are $1 each, your choice, minimum of 50. 1 Box of 20 Weatherby ammo with 180 grain Nosler ballistic tips $40 1 box of mixed ammo, contains 9 rounds of plated federal cased and 8 rounds of Weatherby brass cased, all bullets appear identical. Unsure if these are reloads or factory so I will throw them in with the first deal I can make that totals $100 or more. Buyer to pay actual shipping unless we can meet up in Tucson or occasionally in Phoenix area. I am open to trades/ partial trades. Looking for; Glock 21 complete slide (upper) gen 3 and mag(s) (.45 acp) Glock 31 complete slide (upper) gen 3 (.357 Sig) Glock 17 complete slide (upper)gen 3 and mag(s) (9 mm) (I don't need mags unless I have the slides) Ruger .22 revolvers or semi-autos Older (not worn out)Remington 870 12 ga. (Wingmaster preferred) cosmetics and bbl length not important 7.62x39 BRASS or loaded BRASS case ammo

    .458 Lott new brass

    From a family members estate. I have 5 unopened boxes of Hornady new brass, 1 opened box of Hornady new brass with 28 pieces. A plastic case containing 11 handloads. A scrap of paper indicates that they are 450 gr bullets and they appear to be Barnes in front of 75 grains of 4064 powder. I don't know the brand of powder. I remember shooting this firearm on an outing with this relative and just about all I remember was the recoil and that it was a bolt action. I know that he was an avid reloader, but I also know that I wouldn't trust reloads that I didnt roll myself so if you are interested at all in pulling these for components I will throw them in. Asking $35 each for the unopened boxes. Asking $15 for the open box containing 28 Buyer to pay shipping unless we meet up in Tucson or occasionally Phoenix area. Pics can be sent via text if you pm me a cell#
  22. These are from an estate of a family member so I don't have any history on them. All I know is that he did own and shoot a firearm in 45 win mag but sold it due to scarcity of parts. This is what remains. 491 fired cases 203 new cases plastic case containing 50 reloads? don't have the recipe but they appear to be 230 gr fmj Winchester box 20 230 gr fmj new ammo Winchester box containing 5 new rounds 230 fmj and 13 fired cases $100 takes it all We can meet up in Tucson or occasionally in Phoenix area. Pics can be sent via text if you pm me a cell#
