I'm trying to load 115 Gn Missouri RN ( Grooved). I've done it before and still have quite a few that plunk in my gauge. I've also used my barrel to plunk. Xd9. Those are mixed head stamps. The OAL of those is 1.060. It's been a while and I can't remember how I did it. I'm using RCBS 9mm...

So started getting the Dillon set up for 357 Mag. Using Hodgdon data ( web). The OAL they listed was 1.580 Screwed my R edding seating die till it wont go any further and I still only get to 1.630. Now this fits perfectly fine in the cylinder. AM I ok? First revolver I've loaded for.? S&W 357...

Today I just metered some 700X just to see how well it metered on a Dillon 550b. It seemed to do really well measuring 10+ throws on a beam after 5 just to let things settle. never more than .2. difference. One thing I noticed was that I was throwing 2 different weights with 2 different cases...

Haven't been around on the handgun bench or forums for a while. Been loading for rifle mostly the last 5 yrs or so. Recently have been given S&W 357 Mag/w 6" barrel (686-2). I've only shot 38's out of it so far and I really liked shooting them. So I want to load some 38's for plinking...

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Happy thanksgiving.

Per another post where I asked for help on 40S&W,which I will get back to, been reading a bunch and there seems to be a following on seating and crimping in 2 different steps. How many of you seat and crimp ( handgun rounds, 40S&W to be particular) in 2 different steps and why? Is it an...

Continuing to develop a load this one jammed into the chamber pretty tight and took a bit to get out. The primer has no indent from the pin. This load is up .2 gn from a previous load that didn't cycle well at all. 3 or so rounds before it went fine and a few after it went fine also. So I...

Been loading for 9mm and now I have to try 40S&W. I have a few books but none show loads for 140 lead. ( missouri) They show for 135 then 145 and up. Would I just go with 140 G loads? I'm using Missouri IDP #7 .401 Diameter .40 S&W/10mm 140 Grain TCFP Brinell 18 I have on hand Power...

I have a bunch of Missouri .356 Diameter 9mm Parabellum 115 Grain RN I would like to pull. In looking around I've read to use a RCBS 30 cal collet puller. Great, I have one. Won't grab a one. :cool: I don't want to go with my kinetic puller. Any ideas.

I'm working up a hunting load for a 300wm. Pretty sure I found my first node but here's what I got today. The first round of three went fine. Velocity was on track with shooing same load the other day. So I thought if I can do this 3 times it's off to some distances. 1st pic is second go...

This is asking about Sierra GK HPbt specifically. Your weight and caliber may vary and that's fine. I'm loading the 165gn in my 300 WM. Also if you load your own and have FPS would be a help also. Has anyone ever hunted with this bullet? (2140) I have used their SPBT with good success in my 270...

Where I hunt we are allowed to shoot 30 minutes after sunset. I ran into a situation last season that I had to pass on a buck because I couldn't see my x-hairs. I could see the buck fine in the scope. So now I'm thinking lighted reticle. Adjustable. I don't think I want to be looking into a...

Getting a 300 win mag and would like to load H-4831sc with it as I already use that powder for my .270 win. If it works out it would keep things simple. If it didn't work out I can still use the powder and there's always room on the shelf for another powder. ;) At first I'd load for deer but...

I understand that to much lube may cause dents dings and shoulder issues. Can't seem to figure it out in my head. Would someone explain why?

Maybe this post belongs somewhere else but thought I would try here first. Can anyone explain the 2 strange tares they are both almost in the same place in reference to the bullet. My hand load .270 Sierra Game King 130 upper end on the H-4831, new Nosler brass shot from a Rem 700. If...

I noticed a bit of cratering in some 270 loads I've been using. Rifle is 2 yrs old. The cratering is just enough to barely catch if you run your fingernail over the primers. I'm still under Max load by 1/2 gr with h-4831-sc /Sierra GK 130g, CCI primers, .030 off the lands and no other signs of...

Anyone use or seen any Sierra GK .277 BT 1820. Everywhere I seem to look there out of stock or back ordered.

The other day were were shooting at 400yds. My groups at 1,2 and 300yds were good. It all fell apart at 400. My eyes felt tired. Straining to see the target center. Orange 14 inch RH target. Tried my friends rifle/scope that went to 14 ( Leupold) and shot a 2+ inch group. His scope was set at...

Received my Magnetospeed the other day and was only able to get 2 rounds off before a storm. I do realize I need to get many more rounds off to get a better estimate. This is a 270 win, 130g Sierra GK over 58.5gn H-4831-sc My 1st question is: For a hunting load, what would you consider an...
