Challenger breech lock missing parts
I have a Challenger that I bought for $50 as it was an open box item at Scheel's. It is missing the components for priming, and I am planning to use it to load 30-06. Is it worth it to hunt down the parts, or should I buy a hand primer? Also, it has no powder measure. Since I am not loading for bulk...

I'd be interested in the results with the Noslers. I debated on buying a VTR myself, but a 30-06 Savage 111 Trophy Hunter out the door for $400 (used) was too much to resist. I need to get out to a range with more than 100 yards, as I can see no difference in POI between 165 and 150 gr bullets, and ...

Just a tip, I use a sizing die, backed off, after the blue trimmer. This does 2 things, it opens the case mouth, and it pushes any burrs out of the way. The Dillon die seems to close the case mouth to the point that only BT bullets will load in the case afterward. As for reaming, I made a jig for my...

Instead of lubing every 5th or 6th 9mm casing, I toss 150-200 in a large plastic bag, spray 2-3 shots of One-Shot in the bag, and shake well. Like breading fried chicken. Seriously, my biggest issue with 9mm was a lack of lube in sizing. Now if someone would be so kind as to help me on my primer iss...

primers
I have a question. I'm loading my 9mm stuff with Federal SP (all I could get right now), and I'm nearly out. Is it safe to use #6 1/2 Rem SRP in the place of SP's for handgun loads? Obviously I would work up to my regular loads for safety reasons, but are there any other issues at play? I know the 6...

Great idea, but if the 3in1 was $86, and an RCBS or similar trimmer is close to $100, and I have to handle every piece of brass, why not just automate my setup with a case feeder and the Dillon on the LM for $100 more? Clean, prep, clean, reload. BTW Wyr, was that a plastic Folger's can and lid you ...
