    .357 Hunting Bullet Recommendations

    Hi all - I'm working up some rounds for my Rossi R92 16" .357 and I'd like to roll some for hunting whitetail here on the East Coast. So far, I've been reloading SWCHP 158 gr Hornady Frontier Lead since I already have a stock of them, but I imagine these aren't ideal for hunting. Probably a 158...

    What Got You Into Reloading?

    Hi all - I've been reloading for about 5 years now. I initially got into it as a curiosity, to better understand ammunition, enjoy greater control over performance and save money. The adage is true - you don't necessarily save money with reloading, but you shoot a lot more. Soon after, I...

    Accurate #2, .45 ACP 200 gr RN (plated)

    Hello. I have a quick reloading question that I hope someone can help me with. I'm loading 200 gr .45 Auto RN using Clean Shot for the first time (I typically use n340 but haven't been able to find it anywhere, so I went with Clean Shot), and I don't know how much powder to use. I've been...

    Looking for budget precision rifle, savage 110 elite precision?

    Hi all, I've done a bit of precision shooting but it was with friends rifles and not my own. I'm mostly a handgun shooter and reloader chasing perfect groups. I'm in the market for an "entry level" precision rifle that's accurate as heck. I've been eyeballing the savage 110 elite precision. I...

    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.

    Reloading remanufactured cases

    Relatively new to reloading and am curious if cases from remanufactured ammo can be reloaded and whether it is advisable to do so. I have about 50 remanufactured, once-fired (by me) .44mag cases that pass initial inspection and show no signs of non-reloadability. Curious of some more...

    Hello, I'm new to the forum. This is my first post so I'm not sure I'm doing this right, bear with me please, im new to reloading. My question is: what would cause my smith 629-6, 4 inch barrel 44 mag to chronograph velocities higher than reloading manual states. My load is new starline brass...

Although this are my first rounds, I've always been interested in reloading and I've been reading a lot lately but there's still a lot to learn...

    Bullet lubed with hbn

    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.

    Hello everyone, I am new here, and yes, I unfortunately have ANOTHER question on Min OAL and a tight-throated barrel. I ask this after scouring the Reloading Manual of Wisdom here on this site for weeks, as well as every thread I can get my hands on- here or elsewhere. Conflicting information...

    Handloading Problems

    Hi guys, I am currently working on a handloading design project at university and would greatly appreciate your input into it. Are there any big, common problems you often encounter when Reloading/Handloading and using current presses, annealers etc.? As a team we are designing a modular...

    Questions About Reloading without Reliable Load Data...

    Hello folks, Long time listener, first-time caller. This is my first post here. I'm 26, a law student, and dabble in all sorts of different disciplines in terms of the practice of using and owning firearms (which the state of California graciously allows me to do.) I have been reloading for...

    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...

    .300 Blackout Recipes147gr FMJ Surplus

    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...

    300 Blackout Vectan powders and missing primers.

    Hello. I just wanted to post my results reloading 300 AAC Blackout with Vectan powders. I was also surprised to see that a few of my extracted cases were missing the primer! I saw no signs of overpressure or unusual noise/recoil. The speeds recorded were less than factory loads. I am using CCI...

    Current Pricing on Once Fired Brass

    Hey guys, after a lot of consideration I have decided not to get into reloading. That means I have a lot of brass laying around that I no longer need. I am planning to sell my brass but not sure of the current prices. All brass will be as it was picked up, not polished or de-primed. Here are the...

    9mm primer crimps

    Have any of you come across 9mm brass with primer crimps? My brother in law wants to start reloading, but is convinced he needs to swage his 9mm primer pockets. I've personally never even seen 9mm brass that had a primer crimp. And I have loaded range brass for years. What's been your experience?

    Best profile for Henry Big Boy?

    I know this question has probably been asked ad nauseum. But I'm gonna ask it again to gain a little knowledge on the issue. I picked up a Henry big boy in .357 magnum a couple years ago and haven't been able to get any of my usual loads to cycle reliably. SWC, RNFP, SJSP and SJHP bullets give...
