SHARPPOINT

I use 4.3gr of TG with a 115gr FMJ MG... That is making 130PF What is a TG starting point for the 115gr Falcon coated ? to make the 130?? Thank you

Thank you all, good info

Sorry, 115gr RN Falcon coated   I have been shooting MG 115gr RN, FMJ over 4.3gr of TiteGroup

For the Falcon coated bullets? I was told today that I can't use TiteGroup with coated?? The man told me that TG powder had a "way too fast" burn rate for coated??? I just ordered 1500 to give them a try. Thanks for any help

Thanks, that is what i was thinking. I will back off to 4.0 and start from there. Also one more question, Can/Should I still use TiteGroup with the Falcon's? Thanks

Question, I ordered 1,500 of the Falcon coated 115gr RN just to try. My load now is 115gr MG/4.3gr TiteGroup. Will the powder load change with a coated lead vs MG FMJ?? Thanks

David, will you be in the next Knoxville show? If so do you still have TiteGroup? Thanks, TT

I would like 8-10lbs of the TiteGroup. Please let me how/where/when to pick it up. Thanks

And another story...   I bought my Dillon 550 used for $350 two years ago. I only shoot 9mm, IPSC, IDPA & Steel. I was buying 115gr Fed from Walmart by the case that ran $11/50+/-. I thought I would never reload buying my ammo for that price. But almost everyone that I was shooting with reloaded so I thought why not. I buy all my supplys in bulk. The range where I do most of my shooting gets up a bullet order once or twice a year for Vallent lead. This is MY break down: 125RN $38/1000 = 3.8 TiteGroup Powder $20/lb.  3.8gr   around 1,800 rds/lb  = .011 Fereral SSP $30/1000 = .03 All I use (and have ever used is range brass..So Add that up and i'm loading for .079 cents a round. $3.95/50rd box That price goes up when I'm shooting 115gr MG, but was lucky that I ordered three cases before the crazy hit.   I really like to reload my ammo but if you find everything you need at the right price, you CAN save $$$ Plus, have ammo to go shoot every weekend. HTH

If you have an unfinished basement that you have all of your reloading powder, primers... What do you keep the relative humidity? I have no water problems in my basement but with the weather we are having in East TN i had to plug in my dehumidifer and run it a few days. After three days I went down to reload some and check the dehumidifer and it said it was 70%. I like to keep if 50% or under. Off to Lowes I go.... So back to my question, What do you keep your basement? Thanks

dim37015, do you have any TiteGroup? If so, when will you be back to Knoxville? Thanks

US Title in Greeneville, Pawn/Gun store has Federal SPP, CCI SPP and Winchester SPP, LPP. Just for your info. I'm not selling for them, just trying to help shooters that have been looking in East TN. I think they are $33/1000 Limit 2.

Dillon dies, Lee crimp die Markinnash, I took a Q-tip up into my seating die (been loading some 125gr lead) and got quite a bit of red lube out. Not enough to change OAL but some... Should I cleand and oil the inside when i'm this lead?? The Valant 125gr lead are caked with a red lube (almost like Crayon melted on them). MOST of the time I load MG 115gr FMJ and have never had this. Thanks

Question, How many rounds do you have on your current reloading dies? I'm still new to reloading and have 15,000+/- thru my Dillon 550. I oil the 550 every 800-1000 rds but, never have done anything to my dies. Is it time to do anything to my dies? Or just keep loading? Thanks

Thanks Peejman, your right... I was just thinking of if i clean the slide of my 2011 would the water dry without taking it apart??

Another question, after using the Sonic, How to dry? I have a air compressor at my bench, but have herd of some people using a small toster?? If you use one, at what temp and how long? Thanks

Have not used it... Trying to make sure it's not going to harm anything. A shooting buddy told me he field strips his STI (hard chrome) and drops it in for eight min. Does this sound right??

Thanks, this is the one I bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018IIPFK/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B004AGZMN0&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0E78JWKGJQW3XRTM5S76   Right/Wrong, Good/Bad???

Do you ever just field strip a pistol and drop the complete gun in?? Asking for my hard chrome pistols?

Sounds like you are wanting it for rifle? I know zero about loading rifle. But If pistol, I don't see how any can top a Dillon. I'm new to this and only have loaded 10,000 or so 9mm only but love my 550. I bought the 550 with all the bells. Still not sure why I did not get the 650?? Anyway why not just call Dillon and get in line for one. I can say I had a "c" pin break on top of the decaper, called Dillon and in two days I had a box of extra small parts. I would bet the CS would really be hard to beat.

I know that this is not the place... BUT I learn alot from all of you. I just bought a ultrasonic cleaner and would like to know if any of you use one to clean gun parts? If so, what is the solution you use? Thanks and if this needs to be moved, please do so.  

I load only 9mm. I bought my my "decked out" Dillon 550B for $400 from a Man going on to the 650. Payed for it the 1st year or so. I was buying Fed 115gr from WalMart at $12+/-. I load 124gr lead for $3.35 per box and 115gr MG for $5.50 per box. Soooo you first question is YES. As far as "hard to learn" what everyone else has said, and also ask the good people on this board. Most folks here (not me unless it's about a 550B, MG boolets, TiteGroup powder and Federal Primers...) know what they are doing!! And someone WILL have the answer to your question. Happy loading

S.S. hands down..for shine! Comes out looking like new brass. I can clean 1000 9mm/500 .223's at a time in a homemade tumbler. Loading lead, I still use corn cob in my Dillon to get most of the lube off. I would post a pic of my tumbler if I knew how, If you want a pic just sent me an email.

Does anyone have a single stage press laying around you would sell. I need to have one to use for de-capping my 9's. I am going to the SS pin brass cleaning. I know I don't have to cap them, but if you do you end up with "new brass". Thanks, TimT

Thanks seawash
