Obviously I'm getting to this party just a little late, but wanted to add a few tid-bits to help if I could. When I read your comment .... " Update...Was definitely the lack of crimp." I thought it might help. It might not have been the lack of a crimp being the whole problem, especially if...

Morning SATRP, yea, just his opinion, but that’s what makes a forum good, various opinions, myself, I probably would grab a Ruger Alaskan in .454 casull, to me, there is actually no magic caliber, I would just carry and use what you feel comfortable with.

Good Morning Annihilator, We agree far more than the contrary. The author of the linked article is entitled to his opinion. I'm indifferent to the 10MM cartridge. The 10MM has been on the ropes since Colonel Jeff Cooper's abandoned it if favor of his beloved 1911-A1 .45 Auto. As I know you...

Now that that's out the way, back to the more important question about reloading. I'm stoked I have a long weekend coming up next week because I hope to get in a lot of "desk" time. But in preparation, I went through the whole process a few times and came up with a little problem. I thought...

I've been on a little of a hiatus from here due to work, but I always look forward to and enjoy getting back to catch up. Well, as I mentioned earlier, the "To Load or Not to Reload, That Is The Question" has been answered, and I finally have everything but the crimp die. I worked with whatever...

#5 Needs a new trigger since it won't adjust off of 4 lbs. Will put a TriggerTech on it. I'll replace the floorplate with an extended one for 3+ rds. & put a MD on it. Already have a Redfield 3-9x40 TAC on it, and HPG buttstock cartridge holder on the way. Off to the range next week. Will...
