I did read all the posts I could find on gas checks. I know they are primarily for higher velocity loads to prevent leading. suppose to raise pressure too. Some are saying 2000fps, others say 1500fps. Reading the various manuals and trying to find data for powder loads and GC v non GC has not...

How essential is it to use gas checks on lead bullets? On line shopping for 150 gn lead and gas checked lead is 2x as much as not gas checked. $.045 v $.09. Loading for Model 94 30-30.

As I said in some other posts, I am shooting an M14M1A. I received a bunch of information on loads, bullets etc for .308 in general and M14M1A in particular. I also read every thread in this forum on .308. This question is on crimping. A lot of the bullet recommedations do not come with a...

I am shooting a 20" Win. 94 lever action. Read this whole forum. Looks like Lyman 311440/311441 and 311291 would be fun to play with, but I don't cast(yet). Where can I get some of these bullets already lubed, gas checked and ready to go?

Thanks again USSR. Just thought I'd try a more specific thread than the one about brass cleaning.

Hello, I am loading for the Springfield M14M1A. Is there a classic load for this rifle? What are your favorite recipes for 1-casual target shooting; 2-serious match target shooting; 3-everyday fun shooting? Thanks.

I am loading for a Win 94. I would appreciate your favorite recipes for 1: general fun plinking, shooting cans, pumpkins, etc, 2: a target load, and 3: a deer hunting load. Is there a classic all time load everyone swears by like for the 30.06? Thanks.

Hi guys. When I reloaded .45apc with swc lead I had the same problem and ended up going with round nose lead. The problem is with the feed ramp. It likes round nose lead and RNFMJ. The only other time I had misfeeds was with some HPs. I speculate that the problem may have been the same.

Idano-Thanks but I am loading for a Win 94 and an M14M1A so I think I need small base dies (I don't see any listed for the 30-30 only the 308, does that mean the reg 30-30 dies are fine for tube mags) flat nose type bullets for the tubular mag on the 94. I have been looking at some of the speer...

Thanks everybody. When I reloaded handgun eons ago I cleaned before decap and sizing. I had carbide dies so no lubing. This rifle stuff is new to me. I will be loading .30-30 and .308, possibly .223. Looks like I can do it the same way but just be sure to remove the lube. Think I will clean...

Most say clean your cases decapped. Unless you lube, decap and size dirty cases, you need a seperate decapping die. How come die sets come with a combo decap/size die and not separate decap and size dies? Or are you lubing, decapping, sizing and then cleaning so you get all the lube cleaned...
