I came into possession of a Pacific DL 150 reloader, but it came with no manual, so I have no Idea what order the shot shell must go thru in order to be reloaded, can someone with the same model or the knowledge help me.
Thanks

    Just got some 125 gr slugs for a 30-30 post 1964 Winchester. My data is for 110 or 150 gr loads. I use IMR 4064 powder. Does anyone have data for this type of workup? I bought these when it was impossible to get any type of components. Thanx Obama!
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

    ok i have read threw the two pages here, didnt find what im looking for, if i go an buy a lee turrent kit, what else would i need beside the dies/powder/tumbler. to get this into operation. from watching the guys on you tube they dont use the little primer cleaner tool, unless they did that before making the videos. also i would buy a digitl scale for powder weigh ups. now i have searched,maybe not under the right keywords, but i have looked for the answers.

    I am thinking of starting to reload my ammo and I'm wondering what is the best set for the least amount of money.

    Hello Everyone, I'm Joe. It has been 15 minutes since the last time I reloaded. I have been addicted for 3 years now. When I reload, time stands still. On my days off, I reload. I am obsessed with accuracy and getting that sub MOA at 200 yards for my simple hunting rifle. When I go to bed at night, I think on how to make my bench rest more sturdy and strap my gun in so when I do my ladder at 200 yards, human error is taken out of the equation.

    Someone once told me that I might not be the only one.That there are more out there.

    My name is Joe and I am addicted to reloading.

    [:D]

    I think I have made the decision to get on the reloading band wagon. I'm looking for someone in the nor cal---east of Sacramento area as a tutor. From walking me through the purchase of a dependable set up to educating me on the first run. I have lots of brass--38, 9mm 40, 45, 44, 223 243 308 and soon--44.40. I'm a tactile learner so hands on with a mentor is far more effective to me as opposed to just buying equipment and reading a book. Plus---meeting new people.

    Thanks in advance

    Tell me about reloading. What do I need to have? Would this cover all of the tools I need? http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=00005085003
    All I want to reload right now is 40cal and 30-06. How much money can a person save by reloading? How many times can the brass cases be used?
    I'm sure I will think of more questions later.

    I shoot a Marlin guide gun for hunting in 45/70. With the introduction of the 450 with the new pointed ballistic tip bullets, I would like to know if I can use these bullets in my 45/70 reloads.

    I am in the process of looking for equipment. I want something that I can reload my rifles as well as my 9mm. Is there one that is better than the other? Any help would be appreciated.

    All of the major manufacturer's (Lee, RCBS, Hornady...) std dies will work with Hornady presses. Lock-n-load bushings let you screw your dies in and set them, then quickly remove/reinstall in press w/o changing settings.

    I would assume that quick change bushing threads onto Std. dies. If it does not, I would steer clear of it myself.

    so do you think it would be better to look for a different loader one that has been around awhile?

    Ya know I saw one in my Midway catalog today. The Bushings look like they are screw on. I would call Hornady and confirm it. If so you should be good to go with your other dies.

    Personally, the less parts the better. I would stick with the original
    Lock and load.

    I have the Lee Breeck Lock which is similar. All standard thread dies screw into the bushings. Then the bushings have the quick changed thread(interuped thread that looks like a 3 flute tap). I like my press for the quick change ability, but I don't like the small wiggle that I see when I use the sizing or seating die.

    I would think that Lee & Hornady probly make the bushings different so you have to buy their brand. If the thread on Hornady dies(I own none) are the same as everyone elses, you should have no problem

    My 2 cents[^]
