I've been pondering this question for a while now, and thought I'd see what the general feeling is about it: Is factory ammunition expected to perform within 1-2 MOA in a vast array of firearms?
We as handloaders spend a lot of time and money with one or 2 rifles or pistols and a wide...
I'd like to tap the collective wisdom of the members here today.
I'm getting ready to start load work for a Ruger M77 RSI and it has a very short barrel. It's about 18.25" from bolt face to crown, so only about 16" of rifled section. I have a good selection of powders and bullets available...
Holy cr@p Batman! I had no idea these presses sold for this kind of money.

Since Sunday there have been 2 threads on loading errors resulting in overcharges. I have to think that if you are reloading, if there's a question about what should be in the case, the DEFAULT decision is to disassemble. Having taken apart my own share of rounds over 35 years, I find it hard...
I made up a series of loads this weekend and I'm a bit disappointed with the accuracy. The best group was a hair over 1" at 100 yards. Bullet was 90g Hornady HCSP, max charge at 44.0 grains and WLR primer. No wind to deflect. Interesting to note that almost without exception, there were 2...
I need to pull some .416 bullets from their cases. The Forster website lists a collet for .40 and .429 but no intermediate. Does anyone have any real-world experience with this produst and caliber that can tell me that the .429 collet will close down on the .416 or that the hole in the .40...
I needed to fire-form some new brass for my .30-.338. Rather than pound my repaired shoulder back to the orthopedist, I decided to try forming with TB and light bullets. The results were spectacular. The experiment is over, I'm now a believer in miracles. I was able to form 60 cases with...
Had my first experience with TB reloads yesterday. .375 H&H and .44 Mag were undeniably far more pleasant to shoot. I had some non-shooting friends out for the day to experience the pleasures of shooting paper. All of us had a blast shooting the .375 with minimal recoil and noise. The .44...
I did a google search a while back with unsatisfactory results. Has anyone worked up any loads for black powder/cast bullet in a .44 mag case? Results were?
Thanks in advance.
Sometime in the history of my Contender frame, a well intentioned? individual lightened the trigger to around oh, maybe a few ounces, making it truly unsafe to shoot. I would like to add a few pounds to the pull. I have tried increasing the sear engagement to no avail.
Any ideas? New...
My apologies in advance if this has been covered before. Today my normally stocked gun shop had no Small Rifle Primers but had a good supply of Magnum Small Rifle Primers. So the question is has anyone used magnum primers in the .223 and how much load reduction to start with from the starting...
