I built a nice 20 long gun rack and created a gun safe in a closet in an upstairs bonus room. I anticipated some moisture issues so I keep two big cans of silica and a rust attractant mat. I noticed the other day a few specks of rust on a couple of barrels so I cleaned and oiled them all and put...

I reloaded some rounds for my 6.5/284. Got to the range and I couldn't close the bolt. Took a look and noticed my primers aren't flush with the case head. Should I pull them? I didn't want to force the bolt closed. This is the first time I have ever had this issue. Since they are loaded I need...

I have been powder testing for my 6.5/284 and have narrowed my powder and charge weight down. The next step i took was using the hornady OAL gauge to find my seating depth. I am a bit inexperienced in using it. My reading which i took 6 times was 3.140 with a 140 grain 6.5 sierra matchking I...

I just bought a 243 wssm. I won som brass on gunbroker. It arrived today and almost all of it is primed already. What do you guys normally do in this situation? Resize again and deprime and start over? Just load it up and give it a go? I can check to see if it chambers fine then use it? Just...

I like to collect Calibers that aren't so mainstream. I reload a lot and love to tinker with different rifles. Could anyone tell me what the book values are on these two rifles on gunbroker? I Try to be sensible and over pay(too often:) http://www.gunbroker.com/item/576499226...

I have experienced my 1st blown primer and hopefully my last. I have been reloading on my Dillon 550B for about a year now. I will be honest and let any newer reloaders out there know it was a careless mistake. I have usually applied a bit of pressure when seating a primer if it felt like it...

I have been in the market for a 7mm mag for a while. I usually lurk around gunbroker until I find what I want and then jump in the auction. I don't know much about what I just won except it is a 7mm mag! Anyone habe experience with these British rifles? Here is the link to the gun...

I started looking for another OCW for my swift using a different powder I used varget earlier this year and now these tests are with H-380 My swift heats up so quickly I can run 10 rounds through and then I need to let it cool off! Anyone else have a favorite powder for 220? Test (100...

I have two electronic powder dispensers and yes i do have a balance beam scale:) (lets not open that bag of worms) I am looking for a reliable digital scale i can use to set my dillon 550 powder throws on. I have read lots of reviews regarding Ohaus, Gempro and a few others. Just curious...

I am a reloader and I have a 220 swift. I use it for yotes and various other varmint. I have a 17hmr which I love except for it being rimfire. I need some advice. I would like a small caliber centerfire rifle for plinking, target practice, ect. But I want it to be easily reloadable. I...

I purchased my first digital powder dispenser 3 months ago. I loved it and it has helped me really dial in some long range rifle testing. I have used it for about 200 rounds. Well today it started turning really slowly till it sounded like the motor seized up! I left a message with lyman. I went...

I am always looking to purchase odd-ball calibers. I am interested in buying a Swiss k31. It looks like I can use 308 caliber projectiles. I'm not really into buying bulk ammo. I would like to find brass and reload for it. Anyone reload for this caliber? What are the challenges with this firearm?

I have continue to test IMR 4227 with my Ruger GP100. I took everyone's advice and went up in my charge weight closer to book max. I wanted to get some opinions based on my range targets. Just like last thread, I used two hand grip standing at 7 yards. I am still new at reloading and load...

I finally ran out of my favorite powder for my 357 mag. H-110 I grabbed some IMR 4227 and headed to the range for some load development. I started at book minimum 14.0 grains pushing 158 grain lead laser cast. Group was fairly small. Switched to 14.4 grains and the group got even...

Hit the range for some load development in my g20 6.9 grains 7.2 grains 7.5. Grains All using power pistol. Open to advice and suggestions. I am used to doing this with a rifle at 200-500 yards not a pistol! All rounds fucntioned perfectly. Recoil felt the same for all loads. Muzzle...

I know,there is a mega thread with room pics but that's too much to wade through right now. I'm curious to see what level of organization everyone uses in their reloading room? My reloading hobby has grown into two rooms. One is for pistol and is home to my Dillon, all pistol powders, dies...

I am going to use my new black and blue powder coated 180grain pills in my glock 20 gen4. I looked through all my manuals and online manuals and have some options. What does everyone here run there 10mm with? Powders on hand: Bullseye, power pistol, aa5,7,9, hp-38, clays, h110, wsf, wst...

I picked up free range brass today and found this. Is this normal glock bulge or worse. Would the shooter notice this while shooting?
