Thanks guys for your replies. Sounds like good advice. I feel much more informed and at ease now about loading for a gun I have had no experience loading for. Also, will one size bullet versus the other (.452 vs .454) make a noticeable difference in accuracy?

First of all, I hope I'm doing this correctly. If not, I apologize in advance. Fairly new to reloading but have been shooting for many years. Constantly reading reloading books and info. I have a Colt New Frontier SAA with 7 1 /2" barrel that I want to start reloading for. Read some info that...

Thanks dullone. It's usually about 15 to 20 percent as I have said. Have done some other research online and I'm pretty much convinced that this IS normal for the mini 14.

Thanks rcmodel. I appreciate your reply. In the back of my mind I was thinking there might be a problem with the rifle.

I'm curious to know if anyone has experienced a problem with the Ruger Mini-14 causing damage to brass. I have a Mini-14 which is a 582 series that I purchased new about a year ago. I use almost exclusively Federal Lake City ammo. The rifle is chambered in 5.56 and that is what I shoot out of...

Thanks to all for the info. I kinda suspected just what rcmodel said, but it's good to have some conformation.

Thanks cheygriz. I appreciate the reply and info. Question was asked because I have a reloader friend who gave me some 44 mag bullets he purchased and after receiving them, he discovered the weights of the varied 2 to 3 grains high and low.

I beg your indulgence if I am asking an already answered question. How much will accuracy be affected by bullets that are 1 or 2 grains overweight or underweight?

Hello everyone. New member, first post. Hope I'm doing it right. My most recent purchase was a Ruger Mini-14. Wood stock,blued metal. Love it!!
