I have my AR sighted in at 100 yards with 55 grain reloads. I picked up 69 grain factory HP's and took a shot at a piggie yesterday at about 150 yards and MISSED. I hate when that happens. Anyone speculate on the drop difference? I think i saw a puff of dust below and that would mean a drop...

Just loaded up some 45-70 for my Contender. Boy, 28 grains of 2400 doesnt fill the cartridge much! Just wondering if it makes a difference and whether I should tip the gun back so the powder is all up against the primer before firing. Thoughts?

Need to load up some RN's for my lever. I have 4831, XBR 8208 and H335 in stock. I will be loading Hornady 150gr RN interlock. Look out piggies here I come!

One heck of a surprise. I like to reload everything I shoot, so I did a powder inventory and it looks like I have quite a bit of H4831 and 8208XBR, and one pound of Varget. I can find recipes for each of them and am looking at loading 140 grain. What would be the powder of choice here of those...

Gone through 1,000's of these over the years and they are my go to brand. While reloading over the past few days i had a number of feed issues on my 550B, so i called Dillon. The first question to me was the kind of primer I am using. Told him Win and his response was that they dont have good...

I made a big score on a couple boxes of misc reloading stuff, and this was included. Anyone know what this is? Worth anything to anybody? thanks

I have wanted a Contender to play with at the range for a while now, and picked one up today in real nice shape. It came with the 7mm barrel as well as a .223 and .45/410 and I cant wait to play with it. What is special about the 7mm TCU cartridge? I have the blue machines and load a number of...

I have been loading up a bunch of 9mm using Longshot. Although I had probably run a few 1000 rounds through it without cleaning the powder bar, I was looking up something else in the instructions and saw their recommendation that it should be cleaned every 500 rounds. Since I was about to run a...

This was struck twice!? Up until recently I had been hand priming all my reloads and seldom, not never, just seldom, had an issue with no fires. I used my 550B priming system for a bunch of 9mm recently and have been having a lot more striker issues. I am wondering if somehow they are getting...

I have found some data both here and on the Hodgdon site, but I am trying to minimize the laddering and testing. During the powder shortage I grabbed what I could and am now trying to burn through a few pounds of Longshot. I have been using it quite well in matches under 115's and 124 grain...

I have never shot, or even seen shot tracer bullets. Midsouth is selling (M856) some and I was wondering if they are something that could be fun. Anyone played with them?

I bought some H4350 to load for a cherry pre 64 270 I just picked up. I like to use several references before I start work up loads. The Hodgdon site shows different loads for these powders. What is interesting is the the 49th Lyman and other load books dont show a listing at all for H4350!? Is...

It seems I have a batch of 9mm that didnt size properly. After measuring I decided to run a round through the sizer (decap pin removed) and it then plunked fine. :uhoh: I also noticed the the bullet was now loose enough to be pulled out by hand and I decided that I would just take them all apart...

Ok, after hand trimming a few hundred .223's, there has to be a better use of my time. I have seen some of the other strings on this that involve drills and other creative functional ways to do this. For $155 delivered I can get a "Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Case Trim and Prep Center...

I bought a 1000 of these once fired. I sized them all and trimmed the very few that needed it. I seated the Xtreme 55 grain as deep as i could and still catch part of the cannelure and it was 2.24 OAL. They will not fully chamber and fire in my M&P or my Savage bolt action. My Ruger mini 14 had...

I have put 100's (not 1,000's yet) through my S&W 9mm pistol and for the first time had a problem yesterday, please see pics. I have never really had a primer preference as they have all gone bang before and this is really frustrating. I am just starting to do some competitions and have lost my...

Some time back i bought a quantity of these and I dont know why since I cant put a heavy 357 load behind them. I have read about successes using 357 bullets in 9mm. I measured several and they were .356 in the center of the bullet and .357 right at the base. I just cant see any issues and I am...

I have two 550B's. Yesterday I loaded up some 45 rounds with 231 and was really pleased and impressed with the consistency powder drops. Today I am on the other machine with 2400 and loading 357. I am getting drops several 10ths both directions!? I am working for a 14.0 and am getting ranges of...

that seems really cheap for new brass. any reason not to use these for plinking? the description is ---- SMALL PRIMER POCKET ---- This is a specialized product for striker fired pistol like Glocks, Springfield Armory, etc. The smaller pistol primer allows hotter loading (but not + P)...

I picked up a couple hundred and they came nicely cleaned and de-primed. I am hoping to maybe load the 270's this weekend and i was wondering if i needed to run them all through the sizer. Comments please? thanks
