It sounds like the OP is looking for how fast a BP bullet will travel by using XXX much powder and when do you reach a point where the addition of more powder will not achieve an increase in velocity of the bullet. I'm not sure that it exists.

Yes. When reloading, consistency is everything when it comes to accuracy. It may not matter much to you depending on what you are trying to achieve, but any variables that you do not control will have an impact on your accuracy. If you're crimps are a few thousandths different from one...

Since when? Perhaps not a "spike" but a crimp will cause an increase in pressure. How much of an increase depends on how tight the crimp is. The brass is not strong enough to overpower the force of the bullet - it will just bend out of the way, but for the moment that it holds the bullet in...

I couldn't imagine that it would hurt anything but I think it may be a little overkill. Like a few others have mentioned, an ammo can that's in reasonable shape will work. Are you expecting to store your ammo in some particularly harsh or swamp like conditions for an extended period of time...

It's disrepsectful if you are living off of them It's disrespectful if your parents are providing a roof over your head and supporting you. If it's THAT important for you to own a gun right now, then Man Up and move out and support yourself so you can have a gun. Otherwise, consider taking...

Is it binding when you push it forward to battery or when you rotate the handle down to lock it up? If it's when you push it forward, how far before the binding begins, halfway, three quarters?
