reloading

I came across this interesting video. Granted the testor is just using CCI, but still some really cool info. Enjoy and discuss freely.

Hi All. I'm considering manufacturing and selling machined aluminum wheels for the annealeez annealer. I'm making this post to gauge interest/demand to determine if the job will be worth running. How many of you would be interested or know someone who would be interested in purchasing a set. I'm...

So my buddy is wanting to sell 56lbs of the Rad-78L he says it's close to IMR 7383. I've never heard of it before. Do any of you guys know anything about it Also if anyone is interested I'll have him get on here or I'll ask if he wants me to give his contact info. He is in Illinois, central ish.

Hello all, I bought some Hammer bullets for my fast-twist 25-06 and I'd like to know if anyone has any helpful information regarding load data. Below are the ones I have right now: 110gr Absolute Hammers 116gr Shock Hammers 121gr Hammer Hunters 128gr Hammer Hunters I only have H4831 and H4350...

Morning everybody, this is for you guys who are looking for some brass. I just got word that Bertram is getting a shipment ready to go and they are taking pre- orders. 28 Nosler and 300 PRC are available along with a bunch of others so check it out. https://bertrambrass.com/ It's good to see...

Hi All, So I have a Bergara Premier Highlander in .300 Win Mag that I am working on some hand loads for. I am using Berger 215's, H1000, Norma Brass, CCI 250's, and Redding Type-S Bushing Dies. Gun will be primarily used for elk hunting out west. I followed Berger's starting point of 70.5...

First off I am an avid hunter, absolutely new and green to the reloading process and long range shooting. I have a cousin that is a genius at this and have talked much with him on suggestions / feedback which has led me to start shying away from standard rifles and delve into custom. my...

Is anyone in a position to sell me ( for non-Gb prices) some primers ? Looking first for some large rifle or small pistol specifically.. thanks in advance , I know it’s a long shot... 😂😂

What dies does everyone out there like? I own RCBS and Hornady, but not the other higher end ones. Anyone that has experience with both, any personal preferences? Are they worth the extra $? Looking for my long range hunting 300 win mag!

For awhile now I have been trying to mathematically figure out a way to determine optimal freebore for a given cartridge and bullet. Obviously the easy way is to send a dummy round to your smith or the reamer maker and be done. I however would like to figure out a way to accurately determine...

Throwing this one out again. Trying to get a load for 285 ELDMs out of a 338 RUM with n570 powder. I’m shooting 250 berger elite hunters right now over 97 grains n570 in adg brass but would like some more energy and speed at distance. The load would be shot out of a factory Remington 700 xcr...

Take a look at the video below. When I use my Hornady OAL gauge to push the bullet up to the lands I hit a good deal of resistance, if I push a little harder the bullet then slides up and stops (at what I assume is the lands). When I pull the bullet out it has these marks all the way around...

This is more of a theoretical question I haven’t found the answer to... After seating a round, I always will put it in a concentricity tool, and if the runout is greater than .002, I will use the adjustment tool to straighten the round until it is less that .002. In doing that, am I creating a...

Just tried my first load with my tikka t3 lite 308 my nosler book says 2.810 for over all length, i used the hornady o.a.l gauge and i took about 5 measurments that came out too, 2.989? Did some reading and people were saying the bullet comparator (.308) (hornady) will Be a different length too...

I recently had a proof barrel put on my .300WM Sendero. I’m working on developing a load, and have yielded good results from 70gr of IMR4831, with a Nosler AB 180gr. In fact that is the same recipe for the weapon prior to adding the new barrel. Here is my “hmmmm” moment. I had no indication of...

Noticed Creedmoor Sports is running a sale on IOSSO cleaning products. Anyone have experience with these cleaners? I did a search on the forum and found nothing but 10 year old posts. I pretty much only use Brass Juice now but have looked at buying a cleaner for my ultrasonic cleaner to clean...

My parents gave my son a Browning .30-06 semi auto rifle some time ago. I think it could be a good step up for my son in the future who is nearly 11 from the 260 Remington he currently shoots when he can handle it and when we begin elk hunting. My hope is that it’ll be a bit less recoil than my...

What's you least favorite hunting rifle cartridge to handload for among rifles owned and why?

Was wondering if anyone has tried the N565 with their 28 and if so what kind of results they got. Been using US869 with decent results as well a rl33 with promising results. Seems N570 is the go to in the 28 but that stuff being like hens teeth I thought I might give 565 a try but wanted to...

I finally found some Winchester brass for my 7mmWSM. Barreled action is at PAC-Nor getting a new tube and brake put on. I weighed the first hundred pieces and found quite a wide assortment of weights per piece. I’m not sure what to do now, these are hard to come by. I’m trying to start out...
