So do you select pellet size to fit the choke or do you assemble a load and then tinker with chokes?

I tried it in 38 special and 357 when I first got the mold. It would crimp in the crimp groove and fit the cylinder in 38 special.

Have you done any performance testing with your loads? One...

Million dollar question

For lead buckshot at normal useful buckshot range, is 0.005” to 0.010” of “mash” on the pellets detrimental to patterns?

Personally, I haven’t done enough testing to...

Look at that! A photo finally posted right side up for a change.

For those of you interested in cat sneeze loads, I found this interesting.

My goal for this 200 grain load was “silent without a silencer” and I got pretty close with a 16” barrel. I would like a 24” barrel for further drop in muzzle pressure. Then hopefully I could...

Welcome to the forum!

Excellent question for a first post! I feel like I read somewhere that H110 loads get a 3% reduction from maximum and most other powder calls for a ten percent reduction...

Was the difference in data for different crimp? Does a roll crimp generate more pressure?

Did you check the weights of the powder and shot dropped?

Congratulations!

Do you need three phase power to run your machines?

How many buckets full do you want to get rid of?

Thanks

What an excellent idea! Thank you!

I have some 0.440” round balls I acquired in an auction and was trying to figure out ways to use them in 12 gauge. Buried in shot worked but is wasteful and...

There are some loads in the bpi Coyote manual using longshot and blue dot. OB16 gas seal and nitro cards on top of that. Teflon wrap around the shot, if you are placing an order. Or I can give you...

All this talk about 410 buckshot has me thinking. I bought some TPS wads for tungsten turkey loads. Now I can’t wait to get home and see if number one buckshot fits in them?

Six of the #1 BAM...

I’d like to see photos of the contents of the bucket of “lead” you got. I bet it’s rich with antimony and was someone’s stash for enriching soft lead before you got it.

And I really really like...

Isn’t Vista Outdoors selling the ammunition side to a foreign entity already? It is in the works, if it isn’t done already.

I wonder if Alliant powder will become even more difficult to find?

Do you have another nifty formula like that for stacking by fours?

Somewhere in all the chapters before the load data, Richard Lee says it’s okay to substitute a slightly lighter bullet in place of a heavier one. Modern Reloading Second Edition by Richard Lee.

I wouldn’t be afraid to swap 0.311” in place of 0.330” (00)buckshot. The column might get a little shorter for crimping, so put a card or felt wad under them if needed.

I’ve seen recipes for 00...

Thanks!

Congratulations!
Glad you didn’t give up prematurely!!!

Now post some targets showing how they shoot.

Welcome to the forum!

If your rifle has a 24” barrel it may be fairly quiet without a suppressor, especially if you use subsonic or target ammunition.

This is 112 ft lbs energy....

Can you post some pictures of those please?

I’m starting to buy German made tools if I can’t get USA. I really like the Knipex pliers.

So are there any American made nail clippers?

See the fine print?

Do you have any soft lead you can mix with your existing stash and try casting again after it’s diluted?

Performance may be similar but the pressure and breech thrust is too much for a Contender. The 7.62x39 would have to be loaded to a lower pressure because the body is larger diameter than 30-30. So...
