I know I am asking a lot here, but is there a single powder that would produce good results for one load in 44mag that will shoot well in my 6" Raging Bull and my Henry Lever, with the same powder also being user in 357Mag GP100 and Henry Lever Action? Is that to much to ask for in one powder...

So I am ditching my Lee Turret. Since I got my LNL-AP, the turret is only used for my Precision Rifle loading, but the turret just seems to have to much slop for me to really consistently get what I am looking for. I only load 308 and 300WM, and 223 Match loads. I am getting into 600-1000 yard...

So I recently moved my Tumbler outside of my house, to my Shed. So much nicer and quieter now, plus i think healthier. Anyway, what I normally do is clean brass when i get back from the range, and once clean, put it in a big 5gallon bucket. I sort the bucket when I run out of brass for a certain...

Hi all, I am about to finally get my first NFA item in the next 8months, going the suppressor route, maybe SBR, dont know yet exactly, but something that is NFA related. MY question is, there is a good chance in 3 years, my wife and I will be moving to Europe for 2 years, for a 2 year work...

I need some help guys, so my cheap 357Mag plinking load for my GP100 has been 6.8g W231 under a 158g Berry FP at 1.58" COL, but I ran out of them about a month ago. During the PV 10% off J4 sale, i ordered some bullets, but they were out of the FP, so I ordered their 158 RNDS thinking they would...

So my project the last 2 weeks since my LnL got delivered was to come up with 2 recipes, 1 using 230g Berry RN, and the other 230g ZERO FMJ. The twist is though, I have been trying to find a recipe for each of the above that work in both my colt 1911 80s seriest Officers model and my new M&P45...

So i just finished setting up my LnL, and started moving all my dies from their 4hole lee turrets to the lnl bushings, problem is, i am loosing the way I used to store them (kept them in the turret, in those round Lee Red Die holders, worked great), but now I hage 25 dies in bushings with no...

So I just ordered the L'n'L AP, and am trying to figure out what else I need to go with it. I believe it only comes with the normal (rifle?) rotor, and it seems everyone says to order the pistol Rotor, and then the Pistol Micrometer insert (freaking $60 for these 2 things sucks). I plan on...

I am thinking of upgrading from my Lee Classic Turret press to a LNL w/Case feeder. I love my LCT, but my wife is finally getting back into shooting, so I am going to need to start cranking out some 9mm and 40SW again, and doing the last thousand just took its toll on the LCT (I can run through...

So I inherited my fathers Colt Officers Model Mark IV 80's 45ACP. My father LOVED some Big Wooden grips, me not so much. For him to fit those monsters on the frame he needed to replace the Slide Lock, Safety and Plunger Tube with aftermarket ones that were smaller to fit. Well, the Plunger...

So over the last week or so, i have made various loads for my new 300WM R700 XCR. I have 300 or so new Remington brass but I havent broken into them yet as I wanted to go through some of my used or cheaper brass while learning about the round and what my rifle likes. I load up 25 or so using...

OK, just got 400 208g Amax's and am finally gonna start loading up some rounds for my R700 XCR, but I cant find solid data anywhere for this round. Its not in a single one of my 5 reloading books, i guess its just to new? I have RL22 and H1000 to load with. I also cant find what COAL these...

I really dont know what i was thinking and looking at in my manual, but I just got some Rainier 180g FP and WST powder, and I loaded 20 40S&W of them up to 4.8/4.9g (using Lee Auto Disk). Do you think these are 2 hot to even test shooting out of my XDM? If they are to hot, where should I try to...

I just bought a nice used Beretta 686 Onyx. This is my first O/U, and will purely be used for Trap and Skeet. I had been using my Rem 11-87 for trap and breaking around 15-20 out of 25 with it in its stock form. My 686 came with some nice extended chokes, but the lower is IC and the Upper is...

So I finally had some time after getting my new Lee 40S&W dies in to start loading some rounds. I am using Raineir 180 FP plated bullets, mixed (mostly Win or Fed cases). I have read that with the Rainer, around 4.4-4.5 is the good load with Titegroup, so I wanted to start a little less, and...

I have a Remington 700, circa 1996-1998 (cant remember the year i purchased it), but I believe it was before the "tactical" series came out. Its got the shorter Bull Barrel, chambered in only 223, but I have no clue how to figure out the twist rate (I have never had successes with the "put a rod...

If I am reloading for a Gas Gun, should the loads be slightly toned down? Reason I ask is I just loaded up some 308 for my DPMS SASS. I made a few batches, all using VARGET powder and am now starting to think they might be to hot for my Semi Auto SASS. 169 SMK 43.0 43.5 43.9 175 SMK...

OK, so i am new to reloading, just built my bench, and mounted my new LCCT press, and so far i love it, but i am confused in the crimping stage. Right now I am set up to reload .308, .223, and 9mm, but am only planning to reload immediately for 308 and 223. My confusion comes from me, in both...

OK, so all day yesterday in the 102 degree weather the DC region had, i built my new 2x4 Basic's Kit bench (my size is 6.5'x2.5'). What i ended up doing is following the advice of a few people on here and instead of doing the one horizontal 2x4 under the top layed, i used 2x6 and braced it ever...

I was given 200 rounds of brass, only problem is I cant tell if its 5.56 or 223. Its stamped "P S" on the top, and the bottom it says "7 9" Any Ideas? Is that a Mil-surp crimp?
