    What have you done in the reloading room today

    Back to burning up cases again. Trying to clean up a buddies brass supply. I've got him in all RP I picked up at 300 pieces. Now I'll cycle through the supply 100 at a time and anneal them. Not fancy....

    First failure

    That's my main stash. My buddy loads 45 so he gets anything that's not Winchester now. I've never bought any and I have over 2k. Based on your testing that's a lifetime supply for everyone on the board 😁

    First failure

    Some cases suck for neck tension and are very thin. If setbacks are the problem, mixed brass is a terrible solution. Clean up the supply and only mess with brass you trust..

    First failure

    Only takes one oh crap to become a brass sorter. Agilla and Blazer both recycled. It would be easier to list the ones I use, and recycle the rest.... win, ww, rp, federal... done...

    Can a bad trigger help you be a better shooter?

    A bad/heavy trigger never made a better off hand shooter. You can work with it on a bench or prone, but off hand it's really going to show.

    357mag/158gr powder recommendation

    All sounding very reasonable, I guess we're considering different things. What I'm looking for is powder performance and efficacy, while most are chasing velosity. Powders like blue dot, 4227, and #9 all of which I use give their best combustion numbers in that 30-35kpsi range. So for me it's...

    Components

    Your load was in tune for the current conditions using the run of components you had. When anything changes the tune changes. Use any data you had like velosity to retune your load. If your specs on ammo are good deep clean the rifle, check for tightness and try again. I've worked with two...

    Leading Problems

    I think your best option is to shift to a plain base bullet and keep on keeping on. Gas checks get expensive, a new mold is a one time expense.

    30-30 loads.

    I have that bullet but neither powder, keep going 😁

    The I've used 2400 and power pistol. At that rate I'd take every bottle of 2400 on the shelf.... good in 357 and 6.5x55

    30-30 loads.

    30 dollars a box at whalmart. I grabbed two boxes of hammer down for 35 each to play with bonded bullets for pig.

    30-30 loads.

    I'd sub in n135 for that do it all powder now... basically the same just a few tenths slower...

    I need to swap you something for those if your no longer using them. Junior loves shooting shotgun.

    Offhand shooting practice

    Who needs practice, just execute 🤣

    357mag/158gr powder recommendation

    I wonder what #7 would do at the same pressure as #9. 4.2k is a reduction of 10%

    357mag/158gr powder recommendation

    Why are we reducing pmax to 30 from 35kpsi. We're already running the 35k handicap from the 40k cip and earlier American loads.... I don't load 40k much, but some powders don't even turn on 30k and below. Blue dot being one.

    Powder prices

    50 a pound is vhit prices for 1 and 300 series. Imr is 75 a pound when I quit looking because it's not worth 50 percent more.... I feel shifting your buying habits to support companies not shooting prices to the moon is the best message. I don't feel like vhit is any lesser quality so I'm not...

    30-30 loads.

    I hadent tried past 150 flat base due to the effective range so I guess heavier might be a problem.
