hornady

Hello all, Had a testing session this weekend with several loads for my .44 mag and .357 magnum smith's. For the .357 686+, 4 inch barrel, using 158gr xtp hp's and fp's over 15.5gr h110, cci 550, coal 1.575, starline brass, I recorded a large difference in SD and ES between the two bullet...

Hi all, I am having an issue with 308 Win headspace and I’d love to hear what you think might be the problem. Background: I have a Dillon650 that I’ve been using over a decade for various calibers and thousands of reloads later (mostly once fired mil brass), I’m having an issue with 308 which I...

I'm not new to reloading but new to the Hornady LNL AP and its powder measure. I am using a PTX 9mm/0.355 expander. Instructions lack detail so I'm having trouble figuring this out. At times I am experiencing the rotor getting stuck in the raised position between cycles of the press. I...

2 years ago I took two large bodies deer with my 45-70. Factory loaded 325 FTX, I’m fairly certain they are trapdoor safe so nothing hot, yet both shots simply anchored running deer. BUT that bullet simply did TOO MUCH damage for my liking, in fact the copper jacket separated from the core...

I’m after a new muzzleloader before black powder season. I’m wondering what to get. I’m a purist, so I’d love to use a flintlock, but I don’t have the time to dedicate to really put one through its paces. I’ve determined to go inline with a flintlock in the future. That said, any thoughts? I’ve...

Good day all. Im starting to reload for a .243 win with a 1:10 twist 24" barrel, using 95gr SST. Hornady brass with CCI200 primers. The problem is that I can not get hold of any powder that is known to work in the cartridge. In an ideal world I would use IMR or H4350 but currently the only...

Good day reloaders Ive been looking into the 150gr sierra MK on my 6.5 PRC. Sierra says a 1:7.5 twist rate is requiered. Im running 1:8 twist. After doing some homework I found that Hornady and Berger says a 1:8 will shoot the 153gr A-tip and 156gr EOL just fine, the EOL is also longer than the...

Hey folks, I use Hornady dies pretty much exclusively, and always (eventually) splurge for the micro-adjust seating stem add-on. It makes it SO much easier to go back and forth between different bullets, tweak the seating depth just so, etc. I just got new dies for .45acp, so of course I...

Fax on/Q has a new cartridge, and I find it intriguing. I’ve been following the discussion on the controlled 80,000 psi sig fury cartridge here (I find that intriguing as well) but I’d like to hear other peoples thoughts on this other BLK. The 300 definitely has made its mark. I find the 1:3...

Working on a load for the old faithful with a dearth of bullets. My grandpa loaded for me for a lot of years but I’m on my own now. I’ve had very poor luck with heavier bullets. For White tails, everyone always says a 100 grain bullet. I have had terrible luck with those even with excellent shot...

Hey everybody, I just want to start by saying I’m new to reloading. I loaded some .308 last night using IMR4166 powder. I followed my reloading book and used 44gr of powder. I used Hornady 150gr FMJBT. I trimmed my classes to 2.005. my loading manual said to seat the bullet to 2.800. I started...

I've been trying to find a third Hornady case activated powder drop for six months or more for the Dillon 550 and had checked the "notifiy me when it's back in stock" box on Midway's website. I received an email this morning that it's available, and for a sensible price. I didn't waste any...

I thought all the bugs were resolved with the press and was looking forward to reloading .223’s . The small rifle case plate arrived today, I installed it and started loading. For the 223’s I switched the powder to IMR 4895 which is extruded. About every 6 shells the powder measure drop tube...

Hello guys & gals, So I bought these 62grs here: https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/001532276c250/22-caliber-point224-diameter-62-grain-bthp-with-cannelure-250-count But the closest weights I have to these 62grs in my Hornady reloading book are 60gr or 68gr. Should I just do some...

First I want to say I have loaded 8,500 rounds of 9MM exclusively on both the Lee Classic and Hornady LNL AP. This is my first time loading .223 or any rifle and this question is regarding the LNL. All cases have been cleaned, lubed, sized, de-burred, chamfered, pockets swaged and primers in...

So the Hornady scale that came with my LnL kit is pretty jank, its kinda slow to read and the displayed weights jump around by +-0.2 grains every now and then, and if you leave a weighted amount sitting in it for an extended period of time the displayed weight grows by as much as 0.6 grains over...

Anyone tried this load with hornady .500 cal 500gr projos? How are they getting such high velocity with this powder? The 440gr load with the same powders is only giving a velocity difference of 18 fps between the CFE BLK and 296/H110. Somehow the 500 grain load manages to get 146 fps more...

Has anyone received one of these yet? How is it?

From Midsouth Shooters Supply on the 250gr Hornady A-Tip: “These Doppler Radar verified low-drag coefficient (high B.C.) bullets are forgiving of twist rates, seating depths, and muzzle velocity enhanced with a perfect blend of ogive, tip length, bearing surface, and optimized boattail by...

I'm in the market for either a 264 Win Mag or 260 Rem. I'm 100% committed to using monolithic bullets I'll load myself. The problem is many if not all require at least a 1:8 twist rate for that caliber. I've only found one off the shelf rifle with a 1:8 twist rate and it happens to be a 260 Rem...
