Should I use a gas check w/ lead bullet? I've never pushed lead past around 1100 fps although I understand lasercast is harder than most lead bullets.

Should I use a gas check w/ lead bullet? I've never pushed lead past around 1100 fps although I understand lasercast is harder than most lead bullets.
I went to the range this afternoon to try out the Lil Gun Vs Titegroup. Titegroup was more accurate for me. Less recoil. Titegroup grouped about 2" at 10 yards whereas LilGun was about 3" at 10...
I bought 100 158 gr XTPs to try with Lil Gun for my 4" ss GP-100 357. I would like to use 125 gr bullets, but can't find any load data for them. I have a 357 reloaders guide and Lee's Modern Reloding...
I just bought 500 .357 125 gr Remington sjhp bullets for my 4" SS Ruger GP-100. I was looking up load data and am only finding info for the Hornady XTP. It is listed on the Hodgdon Website as...
Just an update. I went the range Saturday and the 9.2 gr of Unique did fine with the mag primers. FELT like the Remington sjhp UMC loads that I use to pay $40/box for before I began reloading. ...
Thanks Versifier, I was waiting for some responses before I head to the range. I would have liked a slightly lower charge, but my Lee auto-disk pro seems to have picked this one for me. It's...
I bought some Gold Dot 125 gr hp and loaded them with 9.2 gr of unique for use in my SS 4" Ruger GP-100 .357. This is from Speer's load data (max load 9.6 gr). I used magnum primers because that's...
I am new to reloading. In 357, I have loaded 5.5 gr of unique with a 125gr flat point x-treme copper plated bullet as my first load. I then bought some 158 gr lasercast lead round flat point bullets...
Thanks for advice, I tried some very fine steel wool (0000) wrapped around a wore out .22 brush I had. I put in in my drill and cleaned the inside. Seems to have taken care of the problem. I think...
I may be to blame. I used some once fired factory brass that was not cleaned. I took the empty cases straight from my GP-100 and put them back in the box so no sand or dirt ever touched them. I...
On these resizing dies, is it only the little collar (at the bottom of the die) that touches the case, or does it make contact higher up in the die as well. It looks to me like the little 1/4"...
Got my Lee Classic Turret Press Sat. for my B-day. Set it up and loaded about 100 .357's. Went to range and shot them all. Now I notice my cases have developed a couple of scratches after I run...
I posted this yesterday, but omitted that this info is for a 357 mag load out of a Ruger Gp-100 with a 4" barrel.
I am new to reloading and am about to purchase my first batch of bullets. I can get...
Sorry about that. I will be firing them from a .357 4" Ruger GP-100. I also have a .357 Ruger Speed-Six that has 2" barrel, but I am mostly interested in the 4" GP.
I am new to reloading and am about to purchase my first batch of bullets. I can get lasercast 158gr or west coast x-treme 125gr - 158gr for the same price. I am having trouble finding load data for...
Thanks for the info, I will be checking around...
Thanks for the response. I have some Unique and Trail boss. I will get the others you mentioned. I have seen a lot about Montana Gold on various forums. They have 125gr jhp for $104 per 1000. ...
I have a ruger 4" GP-100. I have decided to learn how to reload and am interested in producing some ammo that is close to Remington 357 Mag 125 gr semi-jacketed hollow points that I buy @ Wally World...
Hey guys,
I am an extreme newbie. So new in fact I haven't even purchased my press yet. My wife is getting it for my B-day present in December. I am getting a Lee Classic Turret. It comes with...
Lee Press I am thinking this may be a good deal at Cabela's It comes with many of the extras I have been looking at. What do ya'll think.
I am lucky to have met my mentor. He wrote down this web address for me and I have spent a long time reading a cross section of the posts. This is a great website with very friendly people who seem...
Thanks guys. I appreciate the advice. I have been reading "The ABC's of Reloading 7th Edition" upon the recommendation of a friend I met at the shooting range. (He is an avid reloader with over 20...
I am interested in reloading and am presently looking into getting a Lee Turret Deluxe. This website was very helpful http://www.realguns.com/archives/123.htm[/URL]. After researching it I have a...
