bullet

I recently heard about, and I’ve been doing some reading on Lubing bullets with HBN. This was with match bullets in the application I was reading about. I was just curious if anyone has done so. It sounds good in theory if somewhat cumbersome.

I just bought some Federal Fusion 165gr to test in my .308 and I noticed many of the bullets have uneven pieces of lead sticking off of the tip. I was wondering if I need to take a razor blade to the tips of some of them to make them more aerodynamic. I do know Federal has a process to make the...

Hey everybody I’m new to reloading and have a question about crimping. I shoot a lot of .223 rem out of an AR15 as well as .308 win out of an AR10. Do I need to be crimping the rounds for either of these guns? As of now, I do a mild-moderate crimp using the lee factory crimp die. I also shoot...

Disclaimer: I am relatively new to reloading. I've been successfully reloading 38 special with Trail Boss and was looking to try out an HP-38 recipe. I have two different brands of bullets, XTreme and Acme, both 158gr SWC. I went to the Hodgdon reloading site and checked out load data for...

Hi all, I have been trying to work up a load for the 75 grain speer gold dot bullets, and am now trying five different powders to see which works the best. They are: Varget, H335, Power Pro 2000MR, N140, and CFE 223. The problem is, the Lee reloading manual recommends different max loads than...

I have heard really good things about targetsportsusa for ammo. I don’t usually buy bulk because I have a gun shop right next to me so if I knew I was gonna shoot I’d walk to the gun store and buy rounds. I know online is cheaper but that’s also with shipping and sense I don’t buy bulk I...

Hey all, I have a Ruger American in .308 and that is my dedicated medium - large game rifle. Obviously because if I try to shoot small game with it, it would obliterate the animal. I’m looking for the best round for all small game such as squirrels, rabbits, up to groundhogs, coyotes and other...

So, I have some 160 grain .308 diameter bullets intended for reloading 30-30 but I don't actually have a .30-30. However, I do have an SKS. Would it be safe to load my 7.62x39 brass with these bullets assuming I can find load data for a bullet that heavy? I know it may not be ideal, but I really...

I usually hang out at the Black Powder Forum, but I have been reading The Muzzle-Loading Cap Lock Rifle, by Ned Roberts, and I wanted to see what was on the Hand Loading Forum about bullet swaging. I came across some interesting information in the book I thought I would share with you. During...

I am researching what I need to reload for a Winchester 94 32-40. According to winchesterguns.com and oldguns.net, my serial number indicates it was made in 1909. My gunsmith has done a deep clean on it and has declared it shootable. I want to reload for it, but am having trouble finding the...

I recently bought some pulled tracer bullets. There's a related thread up right now asking about the tracer aspect, so I would ask that if anyone has any advice on tracer rounds that you reply to that thread. Since the bullets are pulled from ex-military ammunition, they have bits of the...

What is the most accurate 9mm bullet (weight, RN or HP, FP, etc...) I want to develop some target loads for my M&P CORE w/ 5" Storm Lake barrel and would like to narrow down the number of bullets I should purchase to start testing load workup data.

I am looking to find the brand and product name of this bullet. Anyone have an idea. It is the first time I've seen soft tip and open tail area. This came in a collection of misalliances bullets for American Reloading. I thought it looked like the Nosler Partition but I can find them with...

Anyone using this bullet? .308 Win 168 grain hollow point boat tail with Hornady's new AMP(advanced manufacturing process) bullet jackets. They say this jacket has zero tolerance for concentricity and near zero wall thickness variation for extreme consistency. The weight bullet to bullet is...

Along with our normal Memorial Day Weekend activities I managed to get 3.5 hours of reloading time in. This included 9mm, a caliber change to 45acp and the completion of 750 rounds of ammo on the Lee Load Master. Link to Video I made a short video of 45acp loading. The bullets are pulled...

What is your experience in regards to target accuracy, which bullet performs best? Hornady 55gr Soft Point with Cannulure #2266 Hornady 55gr FMJBT with Cannulure #2267 Or is the difference too small to see at 100 to 200 yards? Lots of good bullet sales this weekend!

Army engineers patent limited range bullet that self-destructs Army engineers have patented a bullet that self destructs and has limited range. The idea is to reduce the risk in hitting things other than the target. The article says .50 caliber ammo is being tested for "proof of concept"...

so here is my issue... i am reloading 45 acp on a lee pro 1000. 1/3 of the rounds i make don't fit the case gauge. seating issue? suggestions? is this normal?

To everyone at The High Road, I am new here and new to reloading. I apologize in advance for my partial ignorance, I am still learning from all the wise and different opinions of the reloaders out there. My question is concerning which die will seat the bullet more precisely. I am doing...
