Yes I have a reloading manual. Thanks, but what I was hoping to hear was someone say they were using IMR
Trailboss. I went to the IMR website and they list 10 to 14 gr behind a 150 gr bullet. I...

I am looking for a good mold to use in my 308 win. I was wondering if anyone had tried this combination. I want a good varmint round prairie dogs, moles, ground squirrels. Range out to 150 to 200...

Ok, so I’m going to order a 43 top punch to see how it works. Thanks for the input. If that doesn’t work I’ll get a WC 38 punch.

I am reloading a Lee 401-175-TC bullet for my 40 S&W. I had been sizing the bullets with my Lee sizer but have recently decided I wanted to try the same bullet with a PB gas check. So, I got me a...

How long do you tumble it with graphite. Also, what is the purpose of the graphite? So that it flows better maybe?

I have a ball mill that I use to make black powder. I cast 60 cal. musket balls to use in this ball mill. I have never been too finiky about the quality of my mill balls because they were not for use...

This is a random sample I grabbed off of the top of the pile. Coverage seems to be pretty complete. However, this bullet has a bevel on the trailing edge. So even if there was a little...

I have HFPC several thousand bullets by now and always had a problem with the rim of PC left on the base of each bullet. This clogs up my resizing dies. Gets into the workings of my press....

Yes, I worry about uneven heating. The hot plate is a great idea. I'll go to the flea market and see if I can get one cheap.

Yes, I preheat my molds with a small MAPP torch that I keep handy next to my work area. I usually heat the mold for 30 to 45 seconds whiles turning it over and around. That torch gets crazy hot, and...

I spend most of today casting and recasting lead. Normally I use COWW, but today I thought I would try to make a batch out of the stick-on pile that just keeps getting higher and heavier. The mold I...

Ok, so I have been casting bullets for awhile now. Just plain jane WW stuff and have gotten my technique down pretty good. I have a smelter, lee 10 lb pot, and a couple of Lee aluminum molds. I have...

I agree that 65 rpm is probably a reasonable speed for the size of mill that most people on this forum would be using, but to claim that 65 is some magical number is misleading at best. It does...

I just replied to this subject on another thread. I used to be very confused why some materials suggested Hardwood and others suggested Softwood. It is my experience that what is meant when a...

It shouldn't matter much other than how long it takes to cook off in the retort. That being said I only use dry. Also, I used to be very confused as to why some sources would say use "Hardwood" and...

One of the problems I have with working loads up is the ability to shoot test rounds. For me, shooting is not just simply stepping off the back porch and squeezing a few rounds off. I have to drive...

That trash can is stuffed with landscape rubber chips, it will give all your lead back

excellent idea.

I like a chronograph with experience.

Isnt that always the case. ��

It will give up to 5 diffrent velocities /ranges for each shot fired. Its quick and easy to use.

This is a confusing statement.

I am going to buy a chronograph in the next couple of months. I would be interested in any comments and reviews of the different chronographs on the market. I am looking to use it to develop pistol...

My wife is not interested in pulling the handle on my Dillon. Neither are her friends that she likes to invite to the range. For her it as much a social gathering as anything. Since most of the guns...

All very good information. Back when I was loading years and years ago I was loading with a different motivation. I had a limited income, and I loaded for economy. Being roughly 18 at the time I did...

That is the exact manual I have. The 49th edition. I have read it several times. It is also where I get most of my load data. I am not new to reloading. I loaded on a single stage press back in the...

Yes, I understand. But that still does not address the underlying problem of how to sort the fact from the opinion from the fiction without trial and error and calling the forum or the manufacturer...

Is there a place where I can learn about the internal ballistics of all the various powders? Some say use 2400, some say use Blue Dot, some say no-no don't use blue dot with a light bullet, some say...
