Can't seem to find any information on which Loadmaster Shellplate to use with 25 auto. Anyone loading this round on a Loadmaster?

Is there enough interest in the DFW area for a powder/primer bulk buy from Powder Valley? Please check the group buy area, I will start one cause I need some stuff!

9.15 PM, Just got home. The day started at 4 AM with a quick cup o joe and a sausage on a bun. Hunting buddy shows ups at 4.30, he gets a cup of coffee, we load up and roll. 5.50 AM - arrive at the killing fields and meet 40 others who have done the same thing you just did. Spend a few...

Anyone know what is up with Lipseys web site? Did they get clobbered by GUSTAV?

For the cream of wheat crowd, has anyone tried fine grit walnut media instead?

Is a factory crimp on a rifle cartridge (30.06) considered a roll crimp? I read all the data I could find, and it does not seem to be classified anywhere.

This is not necessarily reloading oriented, but since my extended family unit resides here in the reloading section, I wanted to share this with everyone. LOOK----> :what: MY FFL LICENSE SHOWED UP IN THE MAIL TODAY!!!!!!!! :D I am now a bona fide gunrunner! :D YEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAWWW! :D

I was told that these two were the same powder. I did some research and have discovered that they are not the same, but very close. That brings me to my question. Facts come from the Hodgdon data set. They list for Winchester, Hodgdon and IMR, I assume there is some vested collective...

OK, I think the issues with the gun are resolved. So now it is time for the workup for the perfect load for it. The local SG store only had the Remington PSP corelok in 165 grain, so the initial test loads will be such until the order from Midway shows up with the GameKings, which I intend to...

I was in East Texas today with some friends and we went to a free range on a guys ranch. A guy there had a Remington 700ADL 30-06 and was having some major issues keeping it on the paper at even 100 yards. He was shooting Partizan ammunition, I have never even heard of it, and it was shooting...

Has anyone tried using a Lyman lubrisizer on the Lee TL (tumble lube) bullets? I would like to have my rounds a little cleaner by not having tumble lube on the nose. How would you go about matching a top punch to the Lee 2OG radius round nose? There does not seem to be any data on it available.

Ever go to the range and the guy next to you brings his kids with him? These two were maybe 7 and 8, not interested in shooting, and bored so they were into everyones space. I offered them a penny a case to keep track of my spent 45acp cases. I made it home with over 1000 pieces of brass. I...

Anyone tried to plate a lead bullet? From what little I can find, the process is simple, just put the lead in the solution, and reduce it (heat?) As the carrier solution is reduced, it deposits the copper on the lead. Anyone know anything about this or know where to get the solutions?

We are planning a night shoot with illuminated targets. I would like to load some 45ACP with a lot of muzzle flash for some special effects. A 3' flame would be cool. What do I load with and how much to keep the flash at max and the pressure within limits? I load 230gr LRN that I cast...

As usual, a trip to the range today netted some extra brass to bring home. I re-load for 45ACP. While inspecting the lot, I started noticing one particular headstamp that had all of the primers strike marks that looked like the firing pin had been dragged across them. Since they were all the...

OK, I am a full blown caster now. I love it, I save a lot of money. In the process I have accumulated a quantity of the crud that comes off the top after fluxing. It has lead oxide, burnt flux, charred crickets, a few toenails, and who knows what else in it. Bottom line, what is the safest...

OK, I got a batch of lead that all indications show it needs some more tin in it to reduce surface tension enough to make the nice purty boolits I am used to seeing drop out of my molds. There is a mom and pop hardware store near the house, so I ran down there to grab some tin (in 95/5 solder...
