    Is it worth reloading 357 magnum?

    My dad is pretty stoked now that he has a red dot on his 357 mag and wants to take it deer hunting (he’s got the skills, no worries about a clean shot there) So I already make him .38spcl for plinking which drill 8” plates at 50 yards just using a turret press and knocking out plinker rounds...

    Interesting old Press I saw for sale.

    I was perusing the shop in Grand Island NE formerly known as “Swedes” on Saturday. (It now also serves as Hornadys “outlet store”) They had this cool old Herters press in there.

    I saw the new Frankford arsenal press in the wild

    Saw the new one today…pretty neat. Dunno if I’m a fan or not… Edit: that counter/display it’s mounted to is about chest height on me,& I’m about 6’. Just to put the size in perspective. It is still big however.

    Wet Tumbler input

    I’m shopping for a wet tumbler. I’ve looked at Lyman, Hornady, another brand I don’t recall and the good ol FART… just curious if anyone has input on the subject. Wet tumbling will be a new undertaking, but I’m wanting that kind of clean. I like the looks and features of some, but the price tag...

    Desert Eagle .50 AE Load Data

    Looking for some good load data on the .50 AE. Bullet being used would be a 350 grain Sierra JHP. Everything else is to be determined pending information received. If there is a reloading book out there for the 50 specifically, I would be interested in buying that.

    "Best" powder for .223 Hornady bullets?

    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...

    To Dillon or not to Dillon

    I shoot USPSA and 3-gun matches religiously, and I’m looking to reload bulk 9mm and then add in .223 sometime in the future. I plan to deprime with a Frankford arsenal hand de primer, wet tumble with stainless pins, then load in the Dillion 550. I have access to everything I need to pour and...

    Can you load .223 cases to 5.56 specs?

    Hello guys & gals, From what I understand, the thickness of the cases is what makes the pressure difference between .223 & 5.56. So my question is, excuse my ignorance, say I bought some .223, shot those rounds, then loaded to "5.56 specs"... Would that be a bad idea? Would that be too much...

    I'm new to reloading, but i'd like to do a lot more practice with my actual defense rounds. As of now I've been using factory Winchester rangers (the old black tip), and I'd like to develop my own 9mm load (not picky on grain) that i can afford to practice with some as well as have plenty...

    First time reloading, Primer went off in the press

    Hi everyone, so I just started reloading and after working some brass I tried to seat a few primers tonight. It was my first time, and honestly I think I made a mess of things...
