reloading

I am selling some stuff I've had laying around for the last year or so and I'd like to clear some room on my bench. New RCBS 300 WBY Mag die set (RCBS#15201). $25 shipped Contact me at 334-398-0938. Thanks!

I haven't started reloading my 338 Lapua yet, but originally opted for Retumbo... being as Retumbo is really no where in sight, I'm not going to do load development on it and then have to try and find it or another powder to replace it.. so I'm just going to sell what I have and switch to IMR...

What are some favorite reloading powders for 185 gr. TTSX Barnes bullets for elk at 300 yd. +/-.

I see a lot of talk on small es, and the use of it to ‘determine’ the node. And developing different loads chasing a small es on velocity. In my experience I’ve found reloading practice such as annealing, uniforming flash holes, Wright sorting primers, along with other consistent practices are...

Just purchased a 6.5 PRC with a 20'' proof 1-7 barrel. It was previously owned and had been shot using h4350, everything I've read is recommending a slower powder. My question is should I stick with the faster powder to achieve the best velocities out of the short barrel? Hopefully someone has...

Hey, I just got dies for my Ruger American in 450 Bushmaster and had a few questions. I read in the Hornady manual that this round headspaces on the case mouth and heavy crimps should be avoided so that excessive headspace is not created. Should I avoid or minimize chamfer on the mouth? Can it...

So I finally decided to reload for my 300 Win Mag. 32" H S Precision barrel 1 in 10 twist. I'd like to use Berger 190 gr. VLD Hunting bullets. My question is about the powder. V V lists the N560 as a compatible powder. Does anyone here have experience with this powder? I know H1000 is the go to...

I’ve noticed very recently (now that I need more) that H1000 and Retumbo are very hard to find. I live in Missouri within 1 hour of both Midway and Grafs. Called grafs today, Retumbo must not be being made any more, and H1000 out of stock. I have a 338 Lapua and a 6.5 SAUM in which I was using...

I have a brand new never fired semi-custom rifle , a takedown switch barrel on a Montana action in 338-06 ai, 30-06 ai and 25-06 ai built by a reputable gunsmith. Having owned the gun for 5 months and still not had time to fire it the first time is excruciating but though the pain is exquisite...

Hey! I'm new to this exchange, but I've been poking paper and game for many decades. I enjoy semi-auto and revolver pistols, along with bolt action and AR rifle platforms. Experienced in .17 HMR, 22LR, .243 WIN, 5.56 NATO, 7 MM REM MAG, 9MM. I reload a little. And I enjoy building rifles. I...

I visited my local gun shop at the weekend to purchase my .308s diet of IMR3031 sorry I was told no longer available it's been banned by the European Union, so has all the other IMR powders. Last year we also lost the vast majority of Hodgdon powders for the same reason.

I just rebuilt a target rifle I had in .300 WM. New barrel, stock, optic, the whole nine. in the process of rebuilding, I lost my ejector spring while doing the barrel install (took ejector out for headspace gauges) And then I decided not to even keep the ejector since I don't really care to...

I’m looking at building an AR-10 in 22 creedmoor. I know you should use a small base die when reloading semi/pump/lever action firearms. For those of you currently loading 22 creedmoor for an AR, I’d like to know how you go about this. 6mm Creedmoor small base die? Thanks for the help.

I’m trying to do a buddy a solid and build him a hunting round for his Ruger M-77 Mark II in 30.06. I’ve put a Timney and an H-S Preciscion stock on it. I’ve been testing seating depth with Berger VLD Hunters 168gr. with a moderate load of Varget. I haven’t been able to get them to group at all...

I could use some reload data on a Sierra Game King ballistic tip (green) 140 grain bullet. Can anyone offer up a suggested powder, amount and approximate velocity for my .270 cal.? I don't have the Sierra reloading manual, so appreciate any suggestions. This would be for white tail, axis...

Hello all. I am Ward Thurman, long time reloader for my sons bountiful hunting (usually). We recently purchased a used M77 in 338 Win Mag. This is our first belted magnum. We also bought some used Remington brass and after I loaded them up, they would not allow the bolt to close. We bought some...

Anyone have any load data for 124 grain Hammer Hunters in this chambering. Shooting a 26" Proof barrel 1:8 twist, max cartridge length 2.8 inches. New rifle, about to start break in and load development. My second SST :). Thanks in advance for any help!!

I bought a 21st century neck turning lathe and just started. I'm doing some 7mm Rem Mag nosler brass. The concentricity is worse after I turn the necks. I'm running the brass over the expander mandrel that came with the lathe before I'm turning them. Any thoughts??
