I use the Hornady OAL gauge, and Bullet comparators. I will usually use these tools to find my OAL to the lands, and record it. Then I will seat .020" deeper to work my up my load. Once I find my load, then I start adjusting my seating depth .005" at a time until I find where my rifle likes it...

I load 300RUM with H1000 under a 200gr Accubond. IMR7828, and Retumbo worked well, but H1000 seemed to be my best powder in major temp swings. The 300RUM works well with 180-210gr Bullets, but really shines with the 200gr pills. My load for my Rem700 300RUM is 92.0gr of H1000 under 200gr...

I have a CM with a 2nd one on the way. I did the straw trick, and reprogram to speed things up. It's accurate to with in .1gr for sure. Usually if it under/over charges, I will dump it back in, and start over. I will verify with my beam scale every 10 rounds. I consistently get SD of 8-9 on my...

W231/HP-38 should work well. I have a few friends that load 124gr 9mm with W231. My favorite 9mm load using 124gr Xtreme, or RMR plated bullets is 3.8gr of Titegroup under 124gr plated bullet seated to 1.160". This is a very accurate load out of my Glock 34 with velocities around 1,048-1,050fps...

Ha! I try to keep it clean. It gets cluttered from time to time.

It's been a few years since I last posted pics of my man cave/shop. Sadly I still haven't finished my cabinets. That's my goal after Christmas. %5BURL=http://s1060.photobucket.com/user/gahunter12/media/Mobile Uploads/A0BFDBF9-EDB0-4EB6-8AFF-AA2213967ABA.jpg.html][/URL]...

Yea they seem fine. Just caught me by suprise a little. Didn't understand why they wouldn't bump back like the rest. I think I will aneal them since I shot them, and resize again. Heck I may have a hand full of loaded rounds the same way. I'm not going through 8k rounds! LOL!

They were all checked with a Wilson case gauge, and double checked with a Hornady head space gauge, and compared with the others.

Yes. They are all Federal FC with the crimp pockets. I clean up the local sheriff range, and they practice with Federal. All cases came from their M4's.

Yes they did. They never changed. I loaded them, and shot them today without issue. I know they will fit my chamber since they are bumped .003". Just odd I have .002" difference between those five, and the other 995 cases I resized. Like I said, this could have been happening all along. I have...

Ok fellas I have been stumped. I may have had this issue, but not realize it till now. Any way I am bumping my shoulders back .005" on my .223 loads. While doing a spot check I ran across a case that was only bumped .003". Being caught off guard I checked all 1k cases, and had 5 that only bumped...

I have never had an issue with CCI, or Federal going bang. I have loaded well over 140,000 rounds since I started reloading in 2007. The ONLY failure of any type was on Federal LMRP. I had 2 blow pin holes on back to back 7mm RM rounds @ minimum charge. I sent them back to Federal, and they...

My favorite light .40s&w powder is Titegroup. Second is WST.

i use Bayou Bullets exclusively for my 9mm, and 45acp loads. No leading, low/no smoke, very accurate. Also check out Black Bullets International. They are a few $$ cheaper than Bayou when you figure in shipping. I have considered switching to BBI, but Donnie at Bayou Bullet is a super nice guy...
