I had a discussion with a fellow reloader who told me that the shape of a bullet directly arffects the pressure in a gun. He said that regardless of the seating depth, some bullets crewate more pressure than others. The bullet we were talking about was a barnes ttsx. Can anyone explain this to...

i was seating some 168 gn amax today in some hornady match 308 brass and the bullets would compress and ruin the brass towards the end of the press stroke. i measured the bullets and the measured .310 and the neck of the brass is .305 after full length sizing with my redding dies. i've...

i was thoroughly suprised by some results that i obtained today while testing a load. i have been working up a load for my 16" barrel ar-15 using a barnes 50gn varmint grenade and reloader 10. the barnes book calls for max load of 22.2 grains with a velocity of 3202 f/s. my load...

This question may seem "old hat" to some of the more experienced reloaders, but I have to ask. I have read on this forum and in some ladder test instructions that calibers like a specific velocity to shoot good groups. Is this based on the rifle of the caliber, and if based on the...
