    Guys with short leade 9mm barrels. Do you load 147's?

    So, as a bullet designer I recently came up with a 147 grain 9mm bullet. To develop the bullet we used the casing specs from SAAMI to determine how far the bullet could be seated and still chamber in a SAAMI barrel. Well, it turns out that not all cases are SAAMI spec (duh) and some barrels...

    .50 BMG ball bullet dimensions and specs? Anyone know jacket thickness?

    I don't know ANYTHING about .50 BMG and I don't deal in anything in .50. That said, I've kinda been offered a gun in .50 BMG for an amazing price and I was wondering if it wouldn't be fun to swage my own bullets. Then I started looking into maybe buying a machine to manufacture them as the...

    Who here uses .357 bullets for 9mm?

    So, I've been shooting .357 bullets through my 9mm test gun for quite a while now. We test fire some of the pulled bullets that we get in and rather than switching my reloading press over to .38 or .357 I just load them and shoot them in my 9mm. I have seen on forums and know several people...

    Primers: Difference between CCI Small Pistol Magnum and CCI Small rifle?

    So, I am one of those guys who uses small rifle primers to load handgun rounds. For progressive press reasons, I have switched to using CCI primers exclusively.

    The hazards of buying from Rocky Mountain Reloading

    Got this picture from a customer. Make sure you reinforce your mailbox when ordering bullets. Now you know why buying the $3 insurance is highly recommended. The post office just doesn't seem to get it sometimes.

    Bullet designs. Where can I get some?

    So, I am looking at maybe making some of my own bullets. Anyone know where I can go to find design specs for m193 bullets? Heck, any 55 grain .223 bullet will do so long as it will actually work.

    A comparison between Dillon 650 and Hornadly LNL AP from a guy who owns both

    Okay, so I own about 3k worth of reloading equipment and heaven knows I will never make or shoot enough ammo to make up my costs. I collect presses kind of the same way many of us here collect guns. I like to see how they work and how they feel and what I can do with each one. Anyway, I own...

    Another bullet identification thread. Help me figure this one out.

    These are supposedly Speer bullets. However, they don't look like the regular Gold Dots. They appear to have the same plating as a gold dot and the same general profile but the hollow point on them does not look like a gold dot. They are 158 grain .357 bullets. So, what do you guys think...

    Help me identify this bullet

    So, I got a lot of these to sell but I am unsure as to what they are. These were pulled from Federal Ammunition and were sold to me as Fusions, but I have sold TONS of fusions before and all of them have a boat tail design. So, are these just a new design for fusion bullets or are they...

    The power of primers

    So, last night I was loading some .40 for a buddy of mine and accidentally had a primer put in a case that was no good. So, just screwing around I put the case on the floor and smacked it with a hammer. The primer popped and flew about ten feet across the garage and punctured my completely...

    Hornady Customer Service story.

    So, I found a used Hornady LNL AP with a broken sub plate for $225 and ended up just trading a good amount of bullets for it. I figured that I could get it up and running for about $100 more in parts. So, when it got here I looked at all the parts it came with to see what I would need to...

    So, every now and then I get a revolver and always have problems with them. I own 3 revolvers and I can never get them to be reliable shooters for me. Anyway, this time I bought a s&w 317 with the 3" barrel. I shot it a bunch and it did fine for about 200 rounds. Now, all of the sudden the...
