Shooters World is still here and can be found online. Availability hasn't recovered quite yet, but I've seen a handful of different types of it come in stock during the last year or so. I never did...

I think you are looking for Shooters World Major Pistol, manufactured by Lovex in the Czech Republic as D037.01
Many of the Accurate powders used to be manufactured by Lovex before AA moved...

I have both Ginex and Servicios Adventuros (SyA) primers. The Ginex ones seat hard in some brass.
I went in on a case of the Ginex with a friend. They are too difficult to seat in some brass. I sort...

Well friends, Midway has 2015 on "clearance" so I got a jug. Then found that Hodgdon is selling it direct on their website for even cheaper, $26/lb. Which is unusual. I wonder if it's going to be...

I have not used it for cast either, but I'm down to a couple pounds left in an 8lb jug I got a couple years ago. Use it in 308 168gr and 223 69gr and I like it a lot.
Consider it equivalent to...

I've seen people on various forums bemoaning the scarcity of 2400. I've seen it pop up a couple times lately, Natchez has it now.

Rambling:
I got 4lb of it in 2019? near the beginning of my...

Recently acquired my first revolver, a 4" 586-1. I'd been lusting after this model for a few years and it's beautiful.

It's got the target hammer and .5" serrated target trigger, which presents a...

My guess is .30-40 Krag

I got out to the range yesterday.
Recap:
Kahr P45, 3.5" barrel
MBC 230gr coated bullets
Redding dies

This time I ran all the bullets through through a .452 sizer
Adjusted expander die and ran...

It's a Kahr P45. Polygonal barrel, not much throat in my amateur assessment. I do not have pin gages or telescoping bore gages. Seated at 1.200 OAL though, I don't think it's a throat issue, I think...

Well, I tried the FCD.
I numbered 10 bullets and 10 brass, with no primers or powder. I took all measurements twice, once across the number and once the other way. I show the avg and stdev...

Thank you all for your input!
My primary takeaway so far is that I should seat and crimp in separate operations. Should have thought to try that myself. Guess I have been spoiled doing both at once...

Got my first 45, a Kahr P45. Strange choice maybe, but affordable (used) and made in the US and I like it. Shot great with the little box of S&B 230gr I got to try it out.

Ordered some MBC 230gr...

Does anyone think he should try slowing it down? I tried 165gr lubed factory cast plain base in a Win 94 30-30 with 2400, 15-19 grains at 1650-1919 fps and accuracy was unspeakably bad.
I dropped...

I am 43. I started reloading in 2019. 9mm, 223, 308, 30-30, 8x57, 357, soon 45 auto. Some of these save me a little money per round. But even the 9mm and 223, while I couldn't load it as cheap as you...

Learned recently that "Ammo Inc" is building a $12 million 160,000 sqft plant to produce loaded ammunition in Wisconsin and planning to complete construction by mid-2022. They make their own brass...

Just got tested for the first time, 6.6. I have been reloading for only 3 years. Have not started casting yet, but have been melting down range scrap into ingots in preparation. Wearing a 3M...

My 8x57 likes 4320. I would not hesitate to try it in 308 but I'm saving it for the Mauser as I've only got 3lbs and it's discontinued. You might like it if you can get enough to make load...

I see 309-170-F on Ebay for $90 -- too much markup for me. But there's 309-160-R and also 180 for $26, plus shipping.
Some things I learned to buy-once-cry-once, and other things (where there's a...

Thank you to everyone for your good advice!
Took me long enough to make this update, but my second outing went much better after slowing way down. We have redefined what I thought of as "rifle...

I ordered .30 115gr and 165gr bullets from Rim Rock on April 1, and I'm not sure exactly when I received them but I know I had loaded and shot some of them by April 25. They were well packed and...

I made this burner to smelt range scrap with used motor oil.

Thank you for your replies. Yes these are the plain base. I am not likely to try factory GC bullets anytime soon as the price seems comparable to or more than J bullets. Maybe if I progress to...

Greetings! Thanks in advance for any advice, or if you can point me to any stickies that'd be helpful. There are many.
I had a very poor first outing in .308 and 30-30 using precast lead boolits,...
