I was given some reloaded .30-06 ball ammunition a while ago. The person who loaded it was getting on in years and his QC was poor. For the most part the brass was worn out with erratic lengths, split necks, etc... I decided to scrap the cases, salvage the powder, primers and projectiles. I...

The simple, boring answer is that multiples of 20, 50, 100, etc... are easier to count and inventory by the manufacturer and merchant. The cool boxes are the ones loaded to match the magazine contents of the intended weapons. WWII German 9x19mm in 16 rd. boxes = 2 Luger or P-38 mags per...

Anyone have any experience with making your own shot loads. You know the type, small lead shot in a pistol cartridge used for snakes and small vermin. I used the CCI/Speer plastic shot capsules years ago in .38 Spl. but wanted to try something new and different. Anyone load something like this...

I started out with an RCBS Rockchucker setup about 25 years ago because that is the brand my uncle used and he is the one who taught me handloading. I'll probably never replace it. My kids will probably not wear it out either after I am done with it. Over the years I've acquired bits and pieces...

My HK-91 was rough on the brass too. The chamber fluting was not a problem, but the cases got big dents in the side from the ejection port. Got a port buffer and it helped a lot. I only reloaded the brass to see if the flutes caused a problem, which they did not. Since at the time, 7.62x51mm...

Now that CCI Blazer aluminum cases use boxer primers, has anyone tried reloading them? I've seen 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP with the boxer primers so far... D.D.

An older box of Winchester large rifle primers I just finished using up states that the primers are for "Standard or Magnum rifle loads". The newer boxes of Winchester large rifle primers I recently bought just say for "Standard rifle loads". What is the difference? Both are marked "WLR"...
