I'm fairly new to loading and shooting .357 Magnum (not to reloading). The SAAMI maximum overall length for .357 Mag is 1.590 inches. A good friend gave me a number of his cast bullets to sample. One of these is the Lyman Round Nose. When I seat to the cannelure the over all length measures...

A few years back powder choices were limited. Of recent the available selection has greatly improved. I use to make my choice based on what was available more so than what would be best for the give application. Now that I have more choices I'm looking to improve my selection based on the...

I recently purchased a 1992 Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter 44 Rem Mag pistol. It included a Nikon scope (the one pictured), 2x20. I would like to find more information on it. Maybe a copy of the owner's manual and specs. My first place I looked was Nikon's website. I ended up calling them...

I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter 44 Rem Mag Revolver and there is about .032 clearance between the cylinder and forcing cone. I've tried to find what the max/min value should be on the web, but haven't found it. Anyone know where I might find this dimension? I guess I could call Ruger.

I like to learn as much as I can about any of my firearms. My newest addition is a No Dash Smith and Wesson 686 with a 4 inch barrel. I seem to be having issue (online) to find much information about this gun. One of the questions I have, what grip came as original with this gun? I know that...

This is my first stainless wheel gun. I would like to remove the lead stains without damaging the finish you can see on the cylinder. Do you have something that works well for you? I would appreciate it if you would share. Thanks!!

This is one scary video if you know anything about AI (Artificial Intelligence). What are your thoughts after seeing this? http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/UC-Berkeley-killer-robots-artificial-intelligence-12368152.php

I'm having a lot of fun using the Mantis X Training System. Anyone else here using one? I need some reasonable options to install on my 1911 that doesn't have a rail. Any ideas?

Gadgets for evaluating my reloads has increased. Granted, I am a gadget junkie. Yes, I have a chronograph that takes an amazing amount of data on each round and it has helped considerably in my load development. Sometimes I wonder if I shoot just so I can reload. I really like doing both. Am I...

NOTE: This is just for information and in no way is it a suggestion for use. Communication with Sellier & Bellot has been slow due to Holidays and vacations this time of year. A few weeks back I supplied S&B with details of my load data, measurements and photos. Their conclusion, if I were...

I learned something new about Sellier & Bellot primers. Their large rifle primer comes in two different flavors. There is the 5.3 LR and 5.3 LR-SE. S&B's usage chart shows the LR-SE is needed for .308 Win. I'm sad to say I proved them correct at my latest range day. No major damage, but it put a...

The RCBS ChargeMaster Lite. At first I wasn't real sure about the word "Lite" in the name. I didn't know if I should just pay more and get the RCBS ChargeMaste1500 Scale and ChargeMaster Dispenser. I wondered if the Lite implies it was lacking something the full size bigger brother unit has...

Had this happen after just three loads. Lake City brass, .308 Winchester. How may reloads do you typically get from your .308 Win cases?

Compatible Cases I would like those of us that wet tumble to come up with a list of cases that play well together during wet tumbling. As an example, I can safely wet tumble .308 Win and .223 Rem together with good results on both cases. So, what other case combos have you found that work well...

Does this bother anyone else or is it just me? We have all seen this type of activity at the grocery stores, but I never thought I would see this type of marketing tricks pulled on the reloading community. I would like to believe we, as handloaders are a little smarter at weights than the...

I'm looking for information about the bolt, buffer, buffer spring and how they interact with each other, tuning for proper bolt cycling. Info I'm looking for: What is the mass of a typical AR 308 DPMS bolt assembly? my bolt is 17.5 ozs What happens if the buffer mass is increased? Will this...

For all of the rifle cals I reload I use a case gauge to help with sorting cases as to what needs to be done before reloading. This photos shows results after sizing .308 Win cases.

Here at The High Road, around the internet and forums you will find countless way to measure rifle case volume. There are YouTube videos and write ups on this subject. Some use water, some use powder, some measure case weight, and spend a lot of time sorting brass with the hope of improving...
