Hi Everyone,

I'm glad I came across this tread. I'll be glad to share my experience with the 350 Legend.

I've loaded and shot probably over 500 rounds so far in multiple ARs. Sorry - no...

HI All,

I've not posted for awhile but I've been busy. I'm an FFL in Ohio and we are excited about this cartridge. I have CMMG 16" 1:14 AR barrels in stock as well as 5-round and 10-round mags. ...

Got some new Lyman media and I'm going to give this a whirl this week and see what happens

ShooterAZ - good to know I'm not going crazy. I'll try a bit of graphite. Do you think it is inert to not affect the powder? I know we are talking about a miniscule amount. But I do want to load...

Hi Drew,
Just my 2 cents which mostly came from other folks' 2 cents on here.

Like you, much comes from personal trial and error. But, here's what I do and came up with.

Instead of soap, I use...

I've been on a stainless steel pin tumbling binge over the winter and prepped a bunch of brass, my 44 Mag included.

So I finally started loading some on my RL550B and the powder drop die got...

FYI - These are dropping at about 320+ grains. Finished out with powder coating and gas checks the ones I checked are coming in at 325 grains.

Thanks. That makes sense.

I've searched these forums and not found the answer - maybe I missed it.

I ordered the 300 grain lyman #429650 gas checked mold. I'm developing a hunting load that will be my generic heavy boolit...

Here is a batch of my data on this forum. Mostly 32 SWL/HR mag, 38 SP, 357 Mag, 44 Mag, 9MM
...

UPDATE:

Went to the range with the Pro Chrono today. Did more extensive load testing. Sorry, I forgot the ES on all of these. But, the SD is not too bad and the ES was similar to last time.
...

I've been casting about 7-8 years now and shooting thousands per year. I made the mistake of starting with 9MM and did not have much luck. But, now, I'm very, very happy with my other casting. ...

I've been casting 32 100 grain DEWC from Magma mold 32-100-WC BB SGG. I size it to .313 and use Magma lube. It comes in about 103 grains lubed with range scrap/wheel weight alloy.

There is a...

You kind of have it - I want to "make bullets" because it's so much easier than making #4 buck and cheaper than buying #4 buck. My main purpose is to be able to practice and "plink" a fair bit with...

I've gone back about 2 years on the posts here to review what's been posted so far. I've Googled and searched a bunch but can't find an actual load for what I'm looking for.

I'd like to use 2...

Ramshot publishes data for, I think, a 115 grain lead bullet with True BLue and one of their other powders. It is the only published data from the mfg as of a couple mos ago. I use a 314-120-RF...

I was not happy with the stick of lube I just put into my Star sizer. It is heated so there was no easy way to just lift it out.

So, I got a tube (from a closet rod) that just fit inside the lube...

The main smear I see could be a grey wash. When I use the brush & copper scrub, there are some silver bits that come out - but much less than non-heat treated. YOu found that adding some vaseline...

HI,

I finally got my 9MM load working well with an LBT 360-130-SA bullet, seated deep at .975 COL (to chamber successfully), with 5.6 to 6.1 HS-6. I size them to .3575 or .358 and have used LBT...

Slinger,

I just fought with my 9mm for some time. I went back to every little detail. That all was a good thing but, for me, bottom line was the hardness. When I heat treated m WW to 22BHN +/-...

Thanks, Bob. I'm going to do that. I have one sizer loaded with 50/50 again and I'm going to try it soon, hopefully. Weather has made getting out to shoot difficult.

Timely thread for me. I've backed off 9MM for a few months and got some new molds, equipment, etc. now I'm getting more leading than I remember.

First off, I made a big mistake and started off on...

Ok,

I've posted my 40 S&W lead loading stuff elsewhere as well. But, for a brief background, the Sammi specs for the 40 S&W do not lend themselves to lead. We want our lead about .001 + over...
