A couple years back I had a good interst in reloading some subsonic .308 merely for fun. I read several threads all over the internet on powers and bullet choice and all the pro's and con's. I settled on: Traillboss Regular .308 casings Regular LR Primers 147 gr FMJ-BT Rifle is 16.25 inch...

Back again for some help. So I just started cooking up some loads for my new 17. I had some components in house so this is my load: M80 147 GR FMJBT 2.78 OAL Mixed brass, trimmed to 2.007 43 grs IMR4895 (higher charge based on suggestions for my fal last time I was here) Small Base RCBS...

It's been a while since I've been here at THR. Reloading has taken a backseat. Anyway, I have a DS Arms SA58 (Fal) with a 16" barrel I am trying to develop a <3 MOA load for. I'll admit I'm not the most accurate shooter. When I bought the gun I would get 2.5-3 MOA with off the shelf American...

So I chrono'ed 3 loads the other day. DSA Arms SA58 16" Fal (.308 Win) Mixed Brass 145 gr FMJBT (MilSurp) Trimmed and Sized with X-Die ~3 Reloads (Read possible not all the same length) Seated to 2.790" Rem Large Rifle Primer IMR Trailboss Now I made 10 with: 10.0 grs (Avg 1172...

I have been using a RCBS FL Small base X-Die set to load for my Fal. After I initially adjusted the dies, I loaded several hundred rounds with good results. I haven't loaded 308 for a while now. Since the last time I did, I have made changes to my LNL AP. I have added a new sub-plate for the...

So I used this walnut media to tumble brass for a while. Every once in a while I will add nu-finish to it. Usually a cap full. I think I added two caps by accident the last time. Usually I have my tumbler on a timer and pull the brass when I get around to it. The last time I when to pull the...

I am starting to load for an LWRC M6A3 12.7" 5.56. I am going for economical and decent. Not the cheapest and not MOA at 300+ yards either. Anyone had any good success with these? Winchester 223/5.56 55gr FMC JB Bullets @ http://www.tjconevera.com/wi2255fmcjbb.html I have looked at all the...

So I was sizing/de-priming some .45 ACP and trying to adjust my case feeder. That's another issue that just popped up today. Anyway, all of a sudden I feel some resistance on the up stroke. A little unusual put very minor resistance. Next thing I know, the protrusion on my drive hub had sheered...

I’ve been loading .45 ACP for a couple of years now with pretty good success. I recently bought a Wilson Max Cartridge case gage in .45 ACP. I did so because I bought a Nighthawk T3 (4.25" 1911) with an overly tight chamber. Before that, I always loaded .45 ACP for my other 1911’s with little...

I have been using 1.250 oal, 5.0 grs WST, and a 200 gr LSWC form missouri bullet company. I like the load and have been using it for IDPA competitions. The only bad thing is I do get a good spread of velocity. I also just ran out of it. So my goal is to get a load that will shoot just over...

Well, I have a Lyman 2500. It has always worked fine. I just tumbled some brass 2 days ago. I have not noticed anything wrong. No slowing of motor, wierd sounds, etc. All of a suddon, when i plug it in, nothing happens. I've tried several differant outlets. Nothing appears to be wrong with...

I recently installed the new ez-ject system on my lnl. I really thought it was an improvement over the wire until I tried loading 200 gr LSWC. I successfully loaded Berrys 200 gr HP and Rainier 230 gr RN. Then when I tried loading some 200 gr LSWC's I noticed it. In station 5 the retainer...

When I started reloading I read all over this forum for which lead boolit company to go with. I settled on Master Cast. I know there are two, but (http://mastercastbullets.com/). I called to place my order b/c they don't take credit card. Mike was very friendly and helpful. He talked to me for...

Just bought a set of Dillon 9mm dies for my LNL AP. They don't come with an expander so I am pondering my options. Most of the loads will be plated or lead. I am trying to decide which to get: Lyman M-Type, Hornady Expander Die, or a Powder Through Expander. I am not trying to start a Hornady...

I saw a similar thread eailer but had a few differant questions. I am new at chrono's... I chrono'ed a load 10x in a string and 4 strings. I came up with: ES: 71.9, 112.4, 63.6, and 124.4 SD: 23.9, 19.8, 28.6, and 33.68 This was 40 of the same load. I know it should be better but how do...

With the help of Walkalong I finally got my loads to run. I still Have a few problems. The gun is a Wilson CQB 5" .45 ACP. The Load is: .45 cal 200 gr Berry Hp 4.9 gr WST (a few with 4.7 gr WST) WLP Primer Mixed Cases 1.200 OAL .469 Crimp The problem is I get about 2-3 Failure to...

I usally shoot an H&G 68 style 200 gr LSWC out of my kimber. I have switched over to plated b/c the wife got pregnat and is all concerned about lead issues. Lead issuses aside, I have been having real trouble making them fuction. Then the light bulb came on when i read a post by 243winxb...

Well after getting my case feeder set up just right for 45 ACP i realized it was time to load 308. Being lazy i guess i just didn't want to deal with doing the change over and all the adj for it since i load mostly 45. Found a little trick though. Since they use the same shell plate and...

So I have been loading mostly light - mid range loads in my 5" 1911. i use a 200 gr LSWC with 4.7 gr of W231, 4.0 gr of BE, 4.0 gr of VV N310 and such. Mostly soft recoil. I also loaded some 4.5 gr vv N310 which is Max for the 200 gr LSWC, but loaded them with X-tream 200gr swc plated rounds...

All this talk about digital scales has me wondering. I see onein my future i hope... Anyway I got courious to just how acurate my 505 was after all the moving i've done. I bought a set of RCBS check weights. I don't know what's concidered "normal or acceptable". Here are the results...
