Anyone load the Xtreme 180 Grain HP in 40S&W? If so, do you mind sharing your OAL? I'm waiting for my slide and barrel to come back from Jagerwerks, so I can't plunk test it in my gun yet. I'm hoping for a load that'll work in most any pistol.

I've been using Power Pistol as my main pistol powder almost since I started reloading. I've been very happy with it. It seems to produce good velocity and work in most common pistol calibers. It works well in everything from 380, 9mm, 40/10mm, to 45. I really have no complaints about it's...

I'm supposed to go on my first quail hunt and I'm torn on which shotgun to take. My first option is an 1100 Special Field 12 gauge I bought years ago at an auction in near new condition minus the box. I initially thought this would be perfect. I bought it years ago and have barely shot it. My...

I've been shooting Federal 3" 00 12 pellet buckshot with Flitecontrol wads for years and I've been very happy with it. However, I haven't been able to find it in years, and now I've noticed Federal has taken it off of their website. I emailed them to see if it was discontinued permanently, but...

I'm hoping to get into 10mm and use it for deer hunting. I keep reading how Underwood 10mm is the bee's knees. The 10mm 150 grain Extreme Hunter seems like a great load, but at $48 per box of 20, I'm having trouble justifying it. It claims to have 1425fps, which is very impressive. The bullet is...

I've wet tumbled since the days before it was popular and the reloading companies made wet tumblers. However, for years I've been using Dawn + Lemishine + SS pins. While the results are spectacular, the process is pretty time consuming. I've never tried it without the pins, but lately I've been...

I've been a long time user of Hornady .308 150 grain SP bullets. I have absolutely no complaints about the bullet. They are accurate, I get sub moa groups, they perform well on deer, etc. However, I'm not too crazy about the stance they took as a company during the vaccine mandates. So now...

I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion, and I'm ready. I have my flame suit on. It's not that I haven't tried to like it. I've shot tons of it over the years. I just can't warm up to .223 Remington. I can't really find anything that it does that another caliber doesn't do better. The one and...

I know you're supposed to put your username in your order notes when using the THR coupon. I normally do, but completely forgot about it this time until I'd already submitted it. As busy as they are, I don't want to bug them. If I don't have to. Have any of you all done this? Were there any issues?

I loaded up some 44 Mag loads for use in my Marlin rifle and ran into a problem I've never had before. I didn't have any problems with the lighter loads, but the max load of H110 listed in the book caused this case to split. However, I didn't see any other pressure signs. The primers looked...

How's the current quality on Winchester primers? A few years ago I had issues with some WLR primers leaking and etching the bolt face, despite having good luck previously. There were tons of complaints online around that time of the same problem. So I quit using that batch and switched to CCI...

I'm currently using Imperial sizing wax which works wonderfully. The only complaint I have is that it does take a while to rub down each case individually. Once I resize them, I generally just throw them in my wet tumbler which seems to remove the lube easily. As I'm looking for ways to spend...

I did a search and can't find any similar complaints. Well, I bought a Hornady primer pocket reamer to use on some Lake City brass that I converted to 300 BO. I chucked the reamer into my drill press as I've seen some others online recommend. It cut the crimp out quickly and easily. I didn't...

I picked up some of the Winchester Train & Defend Training ammo on clearance at Walmart and now I'm wondering if I made a bad decision. I didn't notice until I got home that it used lead free primers. Now I'm second guessing myself. I've read that lead free primers have a limited lifespan, but...

I've been meaning to pickup a Lyman M-Die after hearing about them on here. Anyway, I bought a bunch of stuff at an auction and a set of older Lyman dies came with them. The expander die says it's a 45 Exp Die M1. Is this the same as the M-Die you'd by separately? Or is that a newer die than these?

Anyone on here use one of these? How is it? How long does it normally take you to do 100 pieces? I'd given up reloading 223 due to the amount of time it was taking vs the cheap cost. However, I'm finding myself back at it again as I'm wanting the increased accuracy. Prepping the brass is the...

I've really had my eye on one of the Remington R51's lately. I know they aren't very good pistols and I'm not a fan of new Remington stuff at all. In fact, the only reason I want this thing at all is that I have one of the original Remington Model 51 pistols and I just think it would be neat to...

I've been reloading for almost a decade now so I'm definitely not new to reloading, but I'm having more problems trying to reload 45 than I have with any other caliber. I loaded a few hundred rounds years ago and haven't really messed with it since. Last night I tried to load a few more rounds...

I have a RCBS hand primer that I've been using for about 8-9 years now. It's developed a problem where it feels like something is binding inside or something and you can feel a pop when the ram gets about halfway up. I took it apart and can't see anything obvious. After putting it back...

A friend has been selling off her husband's estate after his passing. One of the issues she's run into is that she was left with thousands upon thousands of rounds of reloaded ammo in various calibers. She can't sell it, no one wants it for the components unless she gives it to them, or almost...
