I have the same die and bullets and get the same results. I do not mind the OAL variation, since that bullet will be out of the lands if it feeds in the mags of my guns. Try taking a small piece of aluminum foil and crumple it up. Remove the seater stem and turn it upside down. Put a drop of...

Lets not forget that while some millionaires choose to spend their money to push to restrict the RKBA, others do just the opposite. Not too long ago a millionaire hired a civil rights attorney at a discounted rate to test the limits of the 2A, and today the final outcome of that case is known as...

Most likely legal for seller, and certainly legal for the receiver - the NY laws only prohibit the "selling" of ammo, not the buying or receiving of ammo. Even for the seller, the law requires that only sellers of ammunition "who engages in the business of purchasing, selling or keeping...

I find HP38/W231 kind of sooty at lower pressures, but surprisingly it seems to shoot consistently even at lower pressures. Cast lead rounds in 9mm and target loads in 38spl may leave my hands a bit darkened, but I do not remember any malfunctions due to the soot. When I ran low on HP38, I...

I load mixed brass in 308, not 243 but I suspect that the brass from manufacturers may just be necked up and down since they are otherwise the same. 308 loads can really vary widely in pressure with some brass, although I have had good luck with RP, Win, Hornady Match and PPU brass. Mild loads...

The larger of the two cavities on the double disk is on the bottom of the measure? Putting the larger cavity on top leaves a "shelf" between the top and bottom disks where powder can hang up.

Actually, it seems like the bolt and carrier design of the SKS may actually be more adaptable to full auto then the AK design. The tilting bolt of the SKS contains more mass relative to the bolt carrier than the rotating bolt of the AK, and the disconnector on the SKS will hold the hammer until...

Not directly related to case length, but to Federal cases in .308 specifically. If you have not worked up loads in Federal .308 brass, use caution in using load data from other cases. Federal brass can have as much as 2g less capacity than other cases like RP, Winchester, etc. Mild loads in Win...

1.15 over 4.4g of HP38. Passes the plunk test in both a Ruger P95 and Keltec P11. At 1.15 there is definitely a lot more bearing surface outside the case then you typically see in factory rounds. I suspect there are many guns that would not fully chamber these, but they shoot well in my guns.

I am not so sure that the jump to the lands would have a significant effect on barrel time necessarily. Have you seen any experimental data that shows that? The jump seems to effect both peak pressure and the pressure curve, but I suspect that the bullet acceleration rate is a function of...

NY state for the rifle AW definition allows zero "features" on a semi automatic. Semi automatic has a definition that you would expect, but the extent that a gun that is semi today needs to be changed to be non-semi is undefined in the law. Also, the magazine needs to be "detachable". What...

I was referring primarily to the fact that there is a long standing series of disagreements between the NRA and SAF legal teams. Clement was representing the opposing side, so in that sense he was "against" the Heller team. That being said, I think it is fair to say that Clement may have been...

Not such a long shot at all. I am not sure why the FFA is not much better known in pro-2A groups. http://firearmsfreedomact.com/

In addition, Gura is mainly a civil rights lawyer as well, with no real background in 2A causes. Keep in mind that the Heller case was completely funded by a man who does not even own a gun and if I am not mistaken also believes in UBC. IMO, Gura does have some legitimate reasons to take...

That is true, but it really is tragic. There is much of NY that is beautiful country and very much pro-2A, but it is absolutely ruined by NYC. There are more pro-2A gun owners held hostage to NYC politics in NY than there are total residents of many smaller states. Upstate NY residents are held...

I am pretty sure that is not the case. It does not usually matter to us, since bullets are generally all constructed with a lead core and copper alloy jacket, so longer bullets also have more mass. Two bullets of the same shape and volume but constructed of aluminum and tungsten would...

That is true, but the destabilization once the bullet is trans-sonic is for a bit of a different reason AFAIK. Spin on the bullet helps stabilize the bullet against pressure differentials around the bullet in flight. If the bullet leaves the muzzle when the center axis is not exactly in line...

"I am a rape survivor, and a rape attempt survivor. The difference is, the second time, I had a gun." --Evelyn Logan Wise words indeed.

NY City for certain, but nearly all of NY state outside the NY City metro area is very pro-2A. The situation is bad, but not for lack of trying by any means. We simply lack the numbers needed to get pro 2A politicians elected. The typical out of state response is "well just try harder". Maybe...

Those pics clearly illustrate your problem - the bullet is in the lands. Look at the first pic - the rear of the case sits below the lugs. Now in the second pic, the rear of the case sits above the lugs by a considerable amount. Take a straight edge of some type and lay it across the lugs...
