I think its a waste of my money to buy a pound of shotgun powder to accomplish this endeavour. 1lb.=7000g At 35g per casing thats a heck of alot of casings that could potentially be made. These are...

I have annealed the casing and tried expanding using different size expanders. All this did was roll the shoulder in or it compacted the casing and made it short. It would seem to me that it would be...

I'm new to fire forming wildcat casings. I have annealed my .300wsm casings. For the powder load, would I use the .300wsm load data and load them at the minimum or maximum powder weight for the given...

I am speaking about the extension not the barrel nut. They are 2 different parts doing different jobs.

Do I need to have a washer between the barrel and the barrel extension? Yep its dumb question yo some people but not to knuckle head like me.

Does anyone know what the thread size is for Lee dies where the primer pin holder screws into the top? Does the caliber make a difference in thread size used by Lee?

Yes, I am using SAAMI specs. Only way to do this correctly.�� it all makes sense now. Thank you for the reply

I have an idea for a wild cat cartridge that I would like to try. I can have a chamber reamer made for dimensions of my idea. I would use any of the large SA magnum cases based off the .404 Jeffries...

I am reloading for 7.62x51 for my AR 10 platform. I have been searching the local reload shops and websites for .308 projectiles. When I look up .308 projectiles for Hornady, Berger, Nosler, etc; I...

Well that answers my dumb question. I guess Im a poor bastard that cant afford the good stuff. Lol Thank you all.

I have a dumb question. Why isn't the powder side of the hole beveled outward like a nozzle? I know there is a tool to do this to remove any burrs and uniform the hole size in the powder side but why...

Remy - No I have not pulled the boolits. I'm sure there is powder in them all as when I shake them I can hear the powder. I have never tried just using a primer to push the boolit out of the case. I...

I have been reloading for 10 years of and on when I need. Over time I have amassed a few rounds that have not fired. I have tried to fire them twice. The firing pin has put a nice dent in the primer....

Thanks for quick answer.

Can someone tell me if I can change a Stag 8T 5.56 into a .308? Is it just a barrel and bolt change? Will the lower need to be changed along with mags? Some one has offered this rifle to me but I...

Thanks for info.

Runfiverun - that's exactly what I was thinking. Like how an arrow flies.

Valornor - thanks for info on the book. I will look it up and read it. Any other ballistic books that...

When swaging projectiles does the Center of Gravity matter? Should there be more weight toward the base or the meplat? I am thinking it would need more towards the meplat so the bullet doesn't...

Brian...yes you are correct. An idea I have may require a part of the jacket to flow into a shape and area.

Can gilded copper be flowed under pressure like lead does? Taking into consideration the tremendous pressure it would need.

What are the differences between swaging and casting a lead ball or cylinder? I am assuming by swaging the lead it is compacted and raises the weight slightly as more lead is inside the given area of...

When putting a cannelure on a rifle bullet does this lengthen the bullet or create a bulge on either side of the cannelure or both?

I am having a trim to length quandry. I have two books, Hornady 8th edition and Lyman 39th edition. The problem I am having is my cases are short. The caliber is .380. The cases are new and once...

The name says it all. Thoughts? I would think if it's good for rifle bullets it's good for pistols as well, given the pistol bullet is being pushed supersonic which is above 1128 fps. Also that there...

when shooting my pistol the front sight moves to the right. I am right handed. When the trigger breaks and releases the hammer the trigger swings to its full reward travel and the pistol pulls to the...

Is it because the turret might pop off under pressure or because the turret gives and bends out of alignment with the ram shaft if the jam shaft and nut in the back is not set correctly?
