    270 win 130 sst loads

    Speer 130 gr. Grand Slams and IMR 4350 I've found to have the stopping power ( for lack of a better term) as good as or better than the old Remington Corlokts. I'm not trying for one hole groups. My shots on whitetails are 200 yds. or less.

    Primer Availability & Prices

    When the cost of reloading plinking ammo approaches the cost of bulk factory ammo, I'll find a different hobby.

    HS 6

    Count me in as a proponent of HS6/W540. Very versatile.

    Resize, Prime then Trim? Or is that wrong

    Just prior to powder charging and bullet seating. Please, please buy a manual or two as your next step.

    First time for 200gr SWC in 45 ACP, which powders to try first?

    I use Bullseye with lead semi wad cutters. The smoke and pleasing aroma is half the point.

    Stupid question

    I track them into the house so my wife can step on them barefooted.

    Found Small Rifle Primers today

    I did an inventory of my primers last night. Over 14,000 of various sizes. I’m rich!

    Acme bullets

    I’ve only loaded 100 of them ( out of thousands of others) and the coating seemed inconsistent. YMMV

    Developing .243 varmint load - which way to turn?

    Charge weight or seating depth? When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

    Another "Range Rules" thread.

    I thought this was a reloading forum.

    It's a good thing but I still hate it.

    Reloading is therapeutic for me. I’m not sure which group I fit in. I probably have more reloads and components than I’ll ever shoot, but I keep loading.

    Is Alliant still in business?

    Some Alliant powders are made on the Radford Army ammunition plant site just over the mountain from me. At one time, employees of RAAP could buy powder at a discount, but they have discontinued that benefit. If I see a friend that works there, I will ask about the current situation with...

    Flash Over Incident with Hornady Hand Primer

    I have that Hornaday priming tool as well as a similar RCBS tool. They both work basically the same. I can see where it could happen with either tool. Safety glasses and latex glove for me going forward.

    VZ-52 / 7.62x45 from PPU Blanks

    I wish someone would. I have a few hundred rounds of steel cased corrosive ammo for mine. I thought about pulling some of the bullets, dump the powder, and punch out the primers. I’d just have to figure a way to seat the bullets with enough neck tension. It’s an under rated cartridge and has...
