Was trying to clean up the reloading room in general but found a bag of 10mm star-line brass new I don't remember buying but I have 200g blue bullets and primers for large pistol so I am good to go with Power Pistol. got good data from Nosler website and will go close to max at 6.8 to 7.0. I have had some problems with these bullets shaving off as I loaded them but will watch out for that with a full flare and test as I go. Craig
I'm constantly finding 'stuff' I didn't know I had, latest was 30-06 brass, a bag of new Winchester and a box of MIL. SS tumbled the used 30-06 Mil brass and they look perfect.
Yeah, I am buying a few things at gun shows and forgetting I have it. I have been so wrapped up in finding small primers I forget I have other things laying around. I really don't even need the 10mm as I think I have around 1000 loaded already but I need to load something so hello 10mm starline. Craig
Which small primers do you seek, rifle or handgun, standard or magnum ?
small pistol standard and the same in rifle. Craig
What's your location as far as what state ?
Near Columbus Ohio
I'm Ohio too, up by the lake. When someone posts on a gun forum about finding primers at reasonable $, it goes into memory for passing the info onto others.
I found a place on the net but am having problems placing the order. They received it but are waiting FORE MY PAYMENT BUT THERE ISN'T A WAY TO DO IT SO i E-MAILED QUESTIONS AND HOPE TO GET A response and or a phone number to pay. Thanks for your help anyway. Craig
OK placed the order and paid so I got 4000 coming at around 50.00 per thousand not too bad. Craig

Mind sharing the website?

I will when I am sure I will get the primers. This site is very shaky if you ask me. Will keep you all updated. Craig
I finally figured out a way to contact the web site company I placed the order with. I talked to a gentleman about the order of primers and he said their was no problem and the primers will be shipped in a few days. This guy could barely speak English so I wasn't understanding a lot of what he was saying. We will see but I don't want to give out info for this site as it is still shaky enough we might get taken. Time will tell. Craig
OK just finished 50 10mm 180g Montana Gold rounds and they came out perfect. Chambered a few and they chambered perfect. I may have enough bullets to do 50 more but that is about it except I have a few 200g blue bullets to do sometime. I am not in a hurry as I am trying to stretch out time until I get small primers. Oh well. Craig
I think I have 500 165 grain Montana Gold JHPs put away and ready to load...hard to find good deals these days!
Yeah these are to nice to shoot with the new starline brass but I will need to shoot a few but I still have 100 or so brass and like 50+ bullets. I can also use the blue bullets if I run out of JHP. Craig
OK finished the last 52 180g Montana Gold bullets and checked the COL and it was a little long so I fixed that and the first 50 I did yesterday so I am good to go. Talked to a friend today that has a friend with land near me about letting me build a range on his property as he has a large dirt pile he trying to give away. Perfect for backstop. We will see. Craig
I have 50 more ready for powder and bullet and will go with the 200g blue bullet at 7.1g Power Pistol. This is Nosler max and there most accurate round listed. Will update as I go. Can't shoot much as it is bow season and my range guy is a bow hunter and his son has already gotten a big one. Craig
Finished those and have 51 Star-line left so will do those next. I am ready for powder and bullet and am thinking AA9 as I have 2 pounds and don't use it at all for anything else. the data says 11.7 to 13 so I may try 12.5 or so. Craig
Well the 2 pounds was really 1 pound and 1 empty container. It's OK as I never use the stuff much. BTW all those are done now I have no brass and just a few blue bullets anyway. Need to shoot a few to test these. Craig
Just thought of something. Since the brass is new and the bullets and powder are new I am not reloading but me-loading. Get it?? If I can find the brass after I shoot then I will be reloading!!!! Craig
Lol
Still cleaning and found some 10mm cases that are now in the wet tumbler. I only have 25 200g blue bullets but this will finish them off. I did check the primer pockets and they are for large primers which I have. Craig
Of course they turned out to be small pocket brass I just got from a friend. It goes to show you can't tell primer size buy the hole at leased I can't :-[ Craig
Well I finished the gun show bought 10mm brass and they are in the tumbler. One strange thing on like 2 of the cases, they cam out of the resizing die like shaved on one side and it looked like the case was sloped that one way. Like setting straight up the case was slightly bent to one side. I checked and the case wasn't cut or smiled just shaved and off center a bit. Kind of strange and I will not load those. All the other brass was OK you just never know about gun show brass although I never had any real problems. Craig
Craig, I saw some of that from others who were using Hornady Dies...not sure what was the issue. It was like the brass rolled back and down the case.
It's almost like the brass was shaved and piled up at the base of the case. A hairline pile. I will look closer and post anything I find. The dies are RCBS I think. Craig
Well I know I had 2 of these damaged cases now I can only find one!! I have a feeling it got mixed in with the other good brass and I will have to be careful to look for it when I load these. I need to do primers first so I should be able to find it. The one case I have I can't even tell you the brand. Oh well kind of gives me something else to do. Ha Ha. Craig
Hey Craig, if I were to get into this wet tumbling, what is the most economical (cheapest) way to get setup, and what all would I need.
Thanks man!

SKL's got it!! Not sure if the sites had the media but you can get that on the net cheap and it lasts until you loose it. I'll tell ya once you do wet tumbling you can never go back. OK now for a little range report. I shot the 10mm 12.5 AA9 200g loads and they are too hot for me but the gun handled it fine also shot 200g blue bullet with Power Pistol at 6.5 and it was hotter than I had shot before but not close to the AA9. Boy 10mm is a hot handfull if you ask me. Couldn't shoot this all day if I even thought I could. Craig

Nothing as I talked to a lady whos phone number was listed on a text from the company and she said it all is a scam as it is an old number to another web site that she had that is de funked at this time. I gave up with them as I believe it is a total scam. Craig
Good choice
See my other post named 41AE as I received primers. Craig
