Yesterday I was gifted two five gallon buckets of 9mm NATO brass (all around 3 years old). All once fired. Now I have something to do when it's too cold outside to cast boolets. Since I use a...

I chamfer every new case I get and rechamfer after trimming. I made my own chamfering tool from a countersink.

I have been using Lee reloading items since I started to reload back when I was 17. I like almost all of it. In fact I wish they would bring some of their items back mostly bullet molds.

IMR 3031 or H4895. I don't like ball powder in the 30/30. Although I will be testing some loads with CFE 223.(since my son gave me a pound to test out.) One thing is that my 30/30 is a bolt action...

I have never had it but my brother did and he said it was more painful than having a tooth pulled with no pain killers. I will keep you in my prayers.

Anyone besides my self use this great program? If you do has anyone written a plugin for the .30 Super? My brother in law went and bought a S&W .30 Super. To bad there was no ammo for it.

Some one on this list said they couldn't find any Alliance powder, but a range(A Place To Shoot) here close to San Antonio, has some 2400, BE86, and quite a bit of the RL series. They don't mail out...
I never shoot full power loads unless I am hunting. I don't see a need. I keep my 9mm to about 1000 FPS, 38 Specials to about 800 FPS, 357 Mags to about 1100FPS and 40 S&W to about 850FPS. Now my...

I was at my local range when a guy next to me had a stoppage with his Sig 320(I think it was a 320). He couldn't get the slide back as it was stuck. The guys at the range tried to get it open when...

Okay, I want to make some alloy that will be a BHN of 18. I have tried the spreadsheets but they haven't helped.
How much pewter do I need to add to 8 pounds of pure lead to get 18 BHN?

Seems like that would be an all around cartridge for anything in North America.

Did you use a magnum primer? That's a lot of space for just a regular primer. Although Unique is a pretty easy to ignite powder, with all that empty space and you not knowing where it is. It could...

Here is what I would try. Spray a lot of WD40 down the barrel. Let it sit for 30 minutes too and hour. Get a 12 gauge shotgun brush. Shove it down the barrel. SLOWLY. Tap the rod with a small...

Sounds like you have a headspace problem. I removed a .303 separated case once with a 12 gauge brass brush. Real tight going in but it got it out.

Just going through my reloading notes about this boolit and in the .357 mag at full power it will over penetrate. From my notes my brother shot a deer in the brisket with a MAX load of H110 and the...

I have one of those bought back in the seventies. My load is 15.5 grains of H110 with a magnum primer. This is not a max load but close. Hope this helps.

For your own safety and any one near you. Don't fire any more till you get this figured out. I have a permanent scare from a gun blowing up next to me at the range and it was only a .223. The...
