Seems the times are a changing.
I used to get all the w-w I could carry for free, now I my suppliers are cut in half and I am paying $10-$20 a full 5 gallon bucket full from 1 place and free from...
Another vote for Unique.
I wrote this article for the m1911.org ezine on the Hornady case feeder.
Opinions please.

I use Hornady almost always in my AR15 and a few other 30 caliber rifles and I have not had any fouling troubles.
Many large pistol primers (such as Winchester) work in standard and magnum loads.
I reckon my favorite pistol is my Colt 1991A1 with my Gold Cup Trophy a very close second. I have tried to go a little simpler in my carry pistol so there in lies the change.
As for favorite...
Excellent.
Jesus is the light that shines in all our lives, turn not from him but to him when you need truth. There is no greater gift than that of salvation.
My favorite rifle is a tie between my Colt AR 15 HBar and Colt AR 15 HBar Elite.
Both are excellent rifles and depending on iron sights or scope will determine which (if not both) go to the range....
I myself prefer to load by weight. I believe there is a reason the loading manuals uses data in relation to weight.
I would recommend at least a safe full of Colts to easy you consciences. I recently toured the Colt plant in Hartford Connecticut and there is a lot of experienced craftsman hand building Colts with...
Ken that is the one. I have had great luck with the 120gr truncated cone swaged to .355" in the Super. They average about 126gr lubed and sized.
Thank you for the kind words.
I here you on the flux and stir. I sat on my porch the other night when it was pretty out and casted a pile of 120gr truncated cone bullets for my Super .38.
I must say it is not so much of a money...

The new priming system is much improved over the old one for the L-N-L.
I cannot take credit for the 3 way comparison of the Dillon, Lee, and Hornady I posted the link to earlier in my Hornady...
I really like the Super .38. Some say it is not as good of a defensive round at the .45 ACP and I would agree somewhat.
I like it as a target round due to it's flat shooting and high velocity. I did...
My uncle uses the bore snake when he is on a hunting trip for quick cleanings after the day is done. I would agree there is no substitute to a good cleaning but after you have carried a rifle or...

I will agree with Bob. For repeating actions I would say the Mauser design is the strongest.
I prefer to neck size for bolt action rifles. Neck sized reloads tend to be more accurate, the brass last longer, and it is easier to accomplish.
That said once the brass has stretched enough...
I like Federal, Hornady, and Winchester brass the best.
Remington is not bad and PMC is fair.
When you say .45 caliber bullets are they .451"?
Bob I shoot 168gr Sierra Matchkings with 39.5gr of IMR 4895 in my Springfield
M1A That has proven to be an accurate load in my Savage 110 Tactical as well
