I use the 515gr Postell with pure lead but @ about 1200 fps. Penetration and expansion are both impressive. With bigger bores its not the speed that does it. IMO slower MV and softer bullets is...

I've found Lil' Gun to be my preferred powder for heavier-projectile super sonic loads. I use H110 for my 110gr bullets, Lil' Gun for 125-160gr and 1680 or CFE BLK for heavy subs

If you're just looking for a little bit of flare at the top, the Lee might work. If you're looking to seat a fatter bullet and not swage it down, look at the NOE expander.

All of my shooting with this rifle is in a 10.5" 300BLK pistol and I don't shoot it more than 100 yards. I'm running my temp at about 850* (via PID) on pure lead. I haven't tested pressure casting...

Hello, new caster trying to figure out my own edges of “acceptable” for my cast bullets but am very curious what the line between your keepers and discards looks like. Right now I separate between...

I've been using a cheap chinese {{GASP}} digital scale as my primary for reloading for about 5 years now. If you want my experience I have posted it HERE a while back. I've found digital scales...

I've got a binder I got for free from a sales guy, in the front it has all my current chamber jam OAL/CBTO info for each bullet I've put through it and in the back are my "confirmed" loads for each...

When I got my RPR in 6 Creed I sent in cases and bullets (Hornady 108 ELD-M) to have them cut a neck sizing die. I believe it was a great investment in my reloading for this rifle along with...

One note I found over the years that might be relevant on this thread........try not to turn the turret backwards, it wears the plastic square more quickly. I picked up a bag of them from lee when my...

I use H110 for anything under 125 grains, Lil Gun for 125-150 grains and 1680 for subs (usually 200-230 grains). The H110 and Lil Gun are usually loaded with about as much as I can fit in the case...
