I was thinking that a 4.0 gr load would be a good place to start. Thanks for the vote of confidence!

Hi All,
I have a can of Hodgdon Universal and I'd like to work up some cast loads for my .22 Hornet with it. I looked at the Powder burn rates from Hodgdon and they list Universal right next to...

Here are the shots of my repairs. I added the shoulder bolts and I drilled and tapped the middle sections with 8-32 x 3/8" stainless hex head screws and added some removable thread locker. Bye Bye...

I Ordered some of the bolts you pointed me to from a guy on ebay. I will post photos and specs of the bolts I used when I get them.

Hi,
I'm new to shotshell reloading and I'm looking for a good 12 Ga. load for hunting raised Pheasants using Remington Gun Club hulls that I can use in either an autoloader or 6lb pump that won't...

I have them circled on the attached image. They are .375" in diameter and maybe 2.5" long? There are 4 total. the one shown here has a bolt in place of one of the pins.

I have an old Truline Jr. press (that I really like). The linkage is held together with pins and e-rings. Mine pins are in need of replacement. Where can I get another set? I already checked Lyman,...

I've found that the fire-forming load I was hunting with would shoot .625" groups at 200yds. Hard to believe, but true. The issue is that it shoots about 2" lower than my already-formed loads.

Nice group! I use Lil Gun and get very similar results, but haven't tried 4198 yet.

You are WAY more sophisticated than I am, I'm sort of a hack. Thanks for all of the cool ideas.
I have a new 17 Hornady Hornet in a Savage Model 25. Yesterday I tried using 3,4,5,6,7 grains of...

Hi all,
I've typically fireformed my 17 hornet brass by loading a bullet and using my standard hunting load and primer, but I recently became aware of the cream of wheat method. I'd like to use up...

They've got to listen to you and respect the gun. I just taught my 10 year old nephew how to shoot a daisy red rider this weekend while camping. I wouldn't have considered it until just recently as...

Here's the pic of my little homemade bullet puller. I had to ream out the case neck just a tad with a phillips head screwdriver so the 22s would fit loosely. I insert the 22 lr upside down into the...

I used a .225 Lee bullet sizing die for my gas checks, but the bullets are .224 or .225 (I think), since they made it through the die without loosing any material.

I have about 300-400 .22lr CCI Blazers lying around and I wasn't thrilled with their performance in my Marlin 22. I decided to try recycling them for a .22 Hornet squirrel load. First, I created a...

I'm fairly new to casting and reloading for that matter, but have you ever tried playing with Cartridge Overall Length (COL) on your cast loads for that 7mm-08? I wrestled with my Model 43 Win 22...
