I had always been intrigued with the AR57, so when I saw PSA was selling the new Panzer made AR57 uppers, I decided to get one. However, I think it has an issue with the chamber/bolt. I don’t think the chamber Was reamed deep enough, as the bolt is not fully closing. The first ammo I tried was...

I was intrigued by the announcement of the new Desert Eagle chambered in 429DE. Basically, the 429DE is a 50AE case that is necked down for a 44mag bullet. Performance with a 240gn bullet has been advertised as 1600fps or better, which is almost carbine velocity from a 6" barrel. 44mag bullets...

It is basically 50 AE necked does to 44mag. Anyone loading this caliber? I’m getting ready to order a barrel, and already have the dies for it.

And I always thought the NT primers were small, and crimped in place. All Federal or Winchester NT brass I have seen up to this point have been small, and crimped. This was range pick-up, so I have no idea where it came from.

Decided to try out the new Sport Pistol powder from Alliant, in 45acp. I went through my normal process of working up loads, using plated 200gn and 230gn RN bullets. With the 200gn bullets (seated to 1.245") I had a charge range of 5.4 to 6.2, and with the 230gn bullets (seated to 1.260") a...

A friend wanted help identifying this cartridge, and I have no clue.

I thought I would take a stab at neck turning, to see if there would be any significant improvements. I purchased the 21st century tool, and I went whole hog and got the carbide cutter and nitride coated mandrel. I also got the matching neck sizing mandrel and die to complete the set. (I have...

Decided to work up some x39 loads using 1680 powder. The following load data are what I found: Max charges using Hornady .310" 123gn FMJ bullets. Hornady - 23.9gn Lyman - 25.7gn Western - 27.3gn Speer - 28.2gn (using Speer bullet, not Hornady). I decided to work up loads from 23.0 - 27.0, in...

I just started reloading 44mag, and in deciding which dies to go with, I stumbled upon the Redding dual-ring sizing die. Never heard of it before. What I read about them makes sense to me. Basically, only size the lower end of the brass enough to meet SAAMI specs, but resize the area where the...

After seeing the somewhat dazzling velocity performance listed by Alliant and even Hornady load data for this powder, I decided I had to try it out. The Hornady data listed a max of 17.0gn for a 158gn bullet, while Alliant listed a max of 18.6. So, I worked my initial loads up in 0.3gn...

Getting ready to work up my first loads in 7.62x39. I have Hornady 130 SP bullets (.308) and have in my inventory H4227, H322, H335. I can find load data for those powders, I was just wondering if anyone has loaded for this caliber and found a powder that worked well. The reason I am working...

AKA, Lovex D-036. Has anyone tried it? I picked it up at a local gun show recently, just to try. I'm a bit confused by the data I am finding for it, specifically for 45acp. On the front of the bottle, it lists 230gn Nosler FN (no COL listed) with a powder charge of 9.3gn and a velocity of...

Was playing around with my 550 press, trying to figure an easier way to swap between primer sizes. I think I succeeded. I searched and could not find this method online anywhere. Maybe someone else figured this out, but they did not post a video that I can find. I timed this, and the complete...
