Long time no talk guys. Thanks for all the help from you guys here who got me started on the right road. THE HIGH ROAD. Thanks in advance. I have been reloading 223 in the thousands and have switched to accurized specific loads from just 50- 100 yard stuff. The ar likes a few different...

First of all I always try my brass to 1.755 . To get max cartridge overall length I need to trim my brass to 1.760. I cant get the ogive of the bullet where the rifle likes so i want to extend a little. I am still safe enough to just make the rest of the amo. Just dont go over saami?

I somehow ended up with a bunch. Toss em in the recycle pile? Why the switch?

I havent purchased a shotgun yet. I keep getting different opinions as to which type and style i should purchase. This will be a turkey and goose gun. I imagine if i got to a range with a buddy ill shoot skeet but not alot if ever. I was told by my brothers to get a semi auto over a pump. That i...

Got a few thousand spent rounds which i thought were oncr fired. Turns out all have been decrimped. So if they have been worked they have neen fired a minimum of twice. They do t have alot of lines on the sides or look of ware from being resized. Should i keep them? Just reload as usual? What is...

I have been reloading nosler comp 45 acp with great results. I wanted to save some cash so i got 500 Raineer hp 185 in 45acp. I have not read about these other than the siye sais start 10 percent above low point of a powder charge and yry to stay in the middle. Do you guys have some opinions...

Everything that could be wrong with these bullets was. Bullet oal are all different. Bullet weights are from 43.7 to 55.6 . Ogive of all bullets were different. Cannalure on every bullet was in a different spot. Base of every bullet had excess lead bullet to bullet. Man never again will i get...

I havent done a load when i cant find a reciepe. There are some for 115grain. Making a coyote / whistle pig load. Best accuracy and velocity to get the sierras working well. Any suggestions for a guy without a chronograph? Thanks..

Think I learned something new or more of a realization turning into lots of questions. New bullets to try out. I was making some food for the AR. The speer bullets coal in the speer book is quite short compared to other bullets I have done in 55g. The trim length I do with casings and putting...

Started a batch of 45acp that I got from the police shoot. I had one primer pocket catch my eye. It seemed larger in diameter. As I went through the hundred I found 20. Are these trash or is there issues now with the load and bullet I was planning reload. Looks twicethe diameter of all the other...

I just finished taking out the crimp on 300casings and resizing. What the hell? 3-4 out of each fifty maybe more have the flash hole offa center enough to notice it. It is going to be food for the AR but I thought that was not a manufacturing issue. I am sure these will cause an in accurate shot...

Been along time since I was back here where all you guys were so dam helpful and insightful. Got my wings and flew. Any way. Been noticing some black gunk on my shells after polishing them. Next batch I saw it again. Kind of black tar on the case necks. As I was putting the next hundred in my...

I dont like the extra powder or dust everywhere when getting the clean shells out of the tumbler. I have a bagless vaccume. Slowly sucked the media into the vaccume and it seperated the dust and the media and VOUALAA! No dust. At least for a while....

There is no info in this area that I have found that was tested and documented. Do you guys have some load weight data so I can safely try this powder? Or as usual this bullet weight and powder choice is suspect? There are better choices here? Just wondering cause it worked well with 150gr's...

I was talking to some of the guys at the reloading den. Place where I get some reloading supplies. I was talking about the powder I was using. It started a conversation about the specific burn rate for a given bullet weight. I have been using IMR 4350 for 150 gr Sierra BTHP MK for 7mm-08. Is it...

I have been trying to find the odrive of my 7mm08 for the past hour with a Hornady comparator. This is kind of a but pain unless you DONT do it the way I did. Making a dummy bullet without a crimp and just having the bullet in with enough tension is the way I was told. So far so good. The part...

I have sweaty hands and aparently have made the primed and trimmed cases I had ready to go not so good looking. So I decided to throw them in the tumbler for a hour or two. Will this make the primers duds? Will all be ok?

I was getting redy to reload my new 7mm08 shells. I blakened the bullet and checked the O drive measurements. My question is, is the reading I am getting for these Sierra bullets correct in reguards to the over all length? With the comparator, the measurement when the ogive reaches the rifle...

I never thought that a minute powder charge would make this kind of a difference. But wow! Since I purchased a Taurus 45acp Oss 24/7, the accuracy was never there. Went to a gun guy he tweaked the rear sight and accuracy was off, but this handgun is just for home defense. That is all this one...

I just finnished reloading 223. Thought I understood everything. Here is where I am minus the hair pulling. 3 die carbide rcbs set. I have tried with 2 unprimed shell an am crushing the bullet at the top. What the hell? Do i need to flair deeper? Do I not need to crimp and move the seating die...
