inventory of my reloading materials showed I'm running low on LSWC 357.  I have plenty of JHP and plated bullets but not much LSWC
good thing I got the email from midway that they just got some in stock today, so I ordered 2 boxes of 500 LSWC 158 grain
I really like loading with LSWC in 357 and 44.  a good all purpose round.  or RNFP is good too.  those just go well with revolvers, IMO   

with certain powders in my Hornady auto charge powder dispenser, it overcharges more than i would like it to
MK machining makes an insert that makes it not overcharge so much, its $14 for 3 of them of different sizes
but i did some online researching and found that someone used a expanding nut from Home Depot.   its Everbilt expansion nut, #8-32 x 15/32 inches.  good thing is on Home depot site it gave me the aisle number and bin number so was easy to find.  didn't have to ask one of the workers that don't know shit either, so saved time by not consulting with them
we'll see how good it works
and was only 77 cents at home depot

update
I still get the overcharge with the ACC#7, so i tried the expanding nut and it worked great.  but it goes so slow, i dont like slow
i can run the Hornady auto charge on the slow mode and it works fine, no overcharge and its not as slow as running it with the expanding nut.  expanding nut basically slows down the trickle so it doesn't over charge.  but so does running it on slow mode
i just thought i could run it on regular or fast mode with the expanding nut and it would work faster than running it on slow mode, but didn't work out that way
now I'll just run it on slow mode
oh well. live and learn.  I'm only out 77 cents, so not so bad 

Cleaned and primed some 9mm brass with magnum spp
Finish them today, hopefully
Just to see reliability using magnum primers in a non magnum pistol. G19, trigger is stock
Test them on the weekend

I just got in a digital scale, primer feeder, and case trimmer. Almost ready to start reloading. Appreciate your sharing of information and knowledge!

Prepping some 357 Starline brass for some 140 grain Hornady FTX projectiles and H110 powder
Should be a blast 

comparison L to R:
45 acp 230 grains, 44 magnum 245 grains, 9mm 115 grains
45 and 9mm are factory ammo (brass looks dirty) , 44 is reloaded ammo (clean  )

loaded some 357 with 140 grain FTX and 158 grain XTP using H110.  will test them this weekend. should be a blast. 

the 357 reloads with H110 were good.  the powder was old, just look at the pic, thats an old bottle.  so at least its still good.
i could go slightly hotter with the XTP bullets, and more hotter with the FTX bullets
even with 44 caliber seems the xtp is more accurate than the ftx, or could be i need to work up the load more

Reload 9mm, thank you stangzilla!

That's 50 more than I've loaded for pistol, so I'd say you're good.

Been handloading for a while but getting my act together to start loading 7.7 Japanese for my Arisaka type 99.  Anyone have experience or do's/dont's I need to know about before I start?  YouTube has a lot of knuckleheads on it but I trust you guys and your advice always.

I have load data and have collected:
- Lee 7.7 Japanese 3-die set
- New 7.7 brass (Priv)
- .311 caliber 180gr RN and 174gr spitzer bullets/heads/tips/projectiles (whatever folks wanna call them)
- CCI LRPs
- Powders include IMR3031, IMR and H4895, IMR4064, Varget, BL-c2, H4350

Still need a case trimmer...

Well, I read what all of you post on reloading. Somethings are over my head but I've learned a few things reading your threads. Much appreciated despite the tourette's girl.

Ps, how do you like your ribs?
