Good afternoon. I will be going on a pig hunt here pretty soon and can't make up my mind on which rifle to bring. I have an AR Performance 6.8 or a Howa mini action 6.5 Grendel. Everything I've searched pretty came back to their the same out to 3 to 400 yds then the grendel takes over. I'm...

I'm getting ready to load up some rounds to break in my Vanguard. I purchased some Barnes 225 TTSX rounds. The only data I found using this Bullet is shows a range of 63 to 71 of H4831sc. I believe I have some H4350 but the data on Barnes shows IMR4350. Anyway I was thinking of starting out at...

My buddy can't find Barnes ammo anywhere. I figured he could buy some 140gr 270wsm ammo and I could pull the bullets and substitute a Barnes 140tsx. Has anyone had luck with this? I can measure each bullet to seat at the same case depth, ogive, or OAL. I'm sure if it takes up the same case space...

I like shooting my 44 eagle but hate that I have to use expensive jacketed bullets. Has anyone ever pushed coated bullets in the power range to still cycle the action without issue?

I have just purchased a Weatherby Vanguard 338. I plan on using this for big game, Elk or Bear. I have ordered the rifle, brass and dies. Can anyone share some insight on bullet choice or powder. I have been reloading for several calibers for about 10 years or so. Most my shooting has been on...

A good friend of mine at work is looking for a upper for plinking and just general fun range use. The upper in question is an A3 carbine 16" complete with BCG and charge handle. The price is right around $500. The ammo is cheap and that's the reason for this caliber as he doesn't reload. What...

I have been loading for several years now. My buddy from work is getting into the game with a 270. I have to admit I know nothing about this round other than it's an excellent round for hunting. Can you steer me in the right direction of powder choices for a 130 to 140gr bullet. Here we are...

I just received one of these beautiful pistols as a gift. I have been loading for metallic cartridges for years but the whole BP thing is new to me. I'm super excited to go out and shoot but have a few questions. I hear BP guns get dirty real fast, is running a nylon or brass brush down the bore...

I'm in the process of loading up some Nosler 140CC bullets. Hogden shows a range of 39 to 42 with H4350. Yet a 142MK at 41.5 to 44.5. OAL the same. Unfortunatelly Hogden only shows a partition bullet. When I go to Noslers site it just shows a spitzer in that weight and no H4350 powder. Why would...

I just finished assembling my new press and bullet feeder. I'm setting up the dies and station 3 won't take the bushing. All the others they go in just fine with a twist. I'm setting up my powder cop die and no go. I tried taking off the O ring, different bushings and it wont go. It's like the...

I was pulling some boxes of ammo I loaded for my GP100 357. One of the boxes had 20 rounds each of 7.7 and 8 grains Unique topped with a 125 penn target grade lead bullet. must have been a batch I loaded to test out but it sure seems high.

I've purchased a couple boxes of these in target grade and cowboy grade for use in my Dan Wesson PM7. Just curious as to what you guy's are using with these. I have WST, HP-38, Bullseye, Unique, clays, uni clays. Thanks for any direction guy's

I just recently had to send my 40 cal large steel frame gun back to EAA for some warranty work. The extractor broke last time I shot at the range. I also mentioned that the inside of the barrel had scratches down the length of the barrel, almost like someone had screwed a bolt down the inside...

I have a EAA Wittnes 40 cal that I was having a hell of a time with leading. I have been using Penn 165 match grade bullets. The load I found with the least leading was with AA#5. I decided to have the barrel slugged to make sure my bullets were sized right. The smith told me the inside of the...

Any of you guy's or gals have one of these? I'm thinking of getting one but wanted some feedback first. Do you have to use the Hornady pilots and shell holders or will my RCBS ones work? Thanks and hope you all had a merry Christmas.

I just purchased this to check distance to the lands. I used to do this the old fashion way but thought I'd give this tool a try. I bought the curved one so I could do auto's as well as my bolts. I must say it works real good except when I go to measure the case. You can't get the cartridge to...

I just recieved some 158TCBB lead slugs from Penn bullets. These are the match grade so they can be pushed pretty hard. So far I found HP-38 right at 5 grains to be pretty accurate and quite mild. I havve used Universal clays from 5 to 6.2 grains in .3 incriments. Right around 6 worked the best...

Who has loaded these and how did they work for you? I just shot my first batch tonight. I loaded 15 of each charge. AA#5 6.4 and 6.7. Win 231 at 5 and 5.4. These are the 18bhn action velocity bullets. After each 15 shot string I cleaned the barrel. I had leading from front to back and everywhere...

I was going to purchase some 9mm bulllets tonight from Roze and see they sell 124 and 125gr bullets. Why have 2 types so close in weight? Is one prefered over the other?
