powder

Hi all, Just acquired an American made sig p210 target pistol. I'm stoked on the new piece and I'm already thinking about handloading match grade ammo for it (haven't even fired it yet lol) Does anyone out there load for this pistol? If so what grain/style of bullet do you have the best results...

I have two rifles that I’m feeding. Both are 308 Winchester. Both are 1:10 twist rate. Both are bolt action. But one of them (mine) has a 26” barrel. The other (my brothers) is an 18” barrel. I’m wondering if more velocity could be gained by using a bit faster powder in the shorter barrel. I’m...

I took a look at the powders of recent manufacture I have readily available in my shop and noted the following: All Ball powder labeled Winchester, Hodgdon, or Alliant say Made in USA. That would mean General Dynamics St. Marks down in Florida. Accurate 2460, Belgium. Accurate 1680, USA...

Hi everyone, I am looking to reload a bunch (500 or so) 147gr FMJ projectiles for my .300 Blackout stash. I have maybe only a few hundred rounds for it I bought and it's all for hunting. I have no real "bulk" or training ammo as it stands. I have a case gauge on the way for better safety...

I have reloaded for a long time and have always wanted to understand how the same about of powder affects different bullet types, boat tail, flat bottom, match, hollow point? Mostly concerned with the pressure it creates thanks

Good morning (at least to those of us in PST timezone), I think my next affliction is going to revolve (literally) around pocket revolvers in the 32 and 38 S&W caliber. Most likely ones produced from 1905 and later, so very definitely still in the transitional period from black powder to...

I was actually looking around for any info on the Varget speed Winchester Staball powder that's supposedly coming out soon when I ran up on an Accurate Shooter article on a new Alliant powder...

I'm new here, and searched for this with no results, but if this question has already been asked, please refer me to the appropriate thread. Thnx. So, with powders in very short supply just about everywhere, does anyone have recommendations for some alternate powders to try for the 6.5 CM? So...

I know H110 is temp sensitive … or at least that seems to be the consensus, but this seems a bit much for a 23 degree drop in temp … from 72 to 55 degrees. These are 5 round groups with .5 grains of H110 increase between each group. Started at 18.0 and ended at 20.5 Using 300 grain, gas...

I got tired of using a plastic funnel when loading individual cartridge cases for velocity testing, so I made this funnel out of a piece of 3/4" aluminum round stock. The lowest level is about .270" to fit into the neck of a .270 Winchester case, the next lowest level is .300" o fit into any one...

Hello guys & gals. So I'm just getting into reloading. I've got 2 manuals so far - Nosler & Hornady. In my Nosler book, it shows 'most accurate load' within the, like, 12 different powders they've tested. I love that they do this because it gives me a general place to start in regards to which...

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...

Hey all. Had this pound of clays sitting unopened for a year. Opened it today to make up some 45 colt loads. The color suprised me, this is normal? Kind of yellow/greenish and doesn't smell like ammonia but doesn't smell "normal" Thanks

Hello and I hope everyone is happy and healthy in this crazy time. My problem is this: PTX sticks as case is removed from powder drop through expander. I have done many, many hours searching here and the internet. I have cleaned, polished, lubed, removed, reassembled, raised, lowered, adjusted...

My grandfather passed away several years ago and my grandmother recently gave me a box with all of his reloading supplies that she found while cleaning the attic. The box contained the following: Chilled lead shot, 12ga wads, 20ga wads, .410 wads, 30-06 brass, 44mag brass, and a LARGE glass jar...

So I just used up the powders that I normally use for 9mm and wanted to get your input - based upon actual experience only please - as to which of the following powders (I have them all already) would provide the lowest recoil at minimum powder loads. Please note, I am not asking for load data...

So, I have several powders that can be used for 9 and would like the collective wisdom from those who have used these to offer their opinions. I'm not looking for load data - I'll develop ladders and chrono the results - just input as to which would offer the best combo of low recoil with...

A few years back powder choices were limited. Of recent the available selection has greatly improved. I use to make my choice based on what was available more so than what would be best for the give application. Now that I have more choices I'm looking to improve my selection based on the...

I've run out of some of my powders but have a bunch of AA#5 and Bullseye left. Looking for soft target loads for 9mm using 125gr coated lead bullets (the Blue Bullets). These are to shoot out of full size semi-auto's including a G17, a CZ75 and a 1911. Accuracy only needed out to 25yrds...

I found lots of old discussions about where to store ammo, but most were quite old, and almost all referred to someone with a house. So, I'm posting a new thread. Let's say someone with several (5 to 10 or so) guns wants to store a reasonable amount of ammunition is a good place. People have...
