Having tendinitis in both elbows, tears in both shoulders and a once broken wrist prevent me from using all but the kiddie compound bows. I picked up a ten point wicked ridge invader and it’s all the xbow I’ll ever need. I learned quickly to only use 1 bolt for practice after destroying the...

waldens, I’m right there with you. I first got a taste of tennis elbow after throwing 90+ 80lb bags of concrete to pour a foundation for my shed. Took months to stop hurting and couldn’t reload at all cause the pain was excruciating. Two years after that my FIL passed and MIL bought my wife...

Thank you nambu1! That's very helpful! Guess I should have searched the interwebs further. I don't want to damage this pistol, I actually use it for carry (ducking all the bricks being thrown) I would really like a decent practice load for it and not crack my frame by pushing it too hard. It...

hdwhit, I purchased the 55gr fp-tc from Rim Rock Bullets. Cowboy hard cast lead bullets according to the box. I'm thinking I might need a slightly slower powder for the heavier weight bullet cause I need to set them near .860 coal to get them to feed reliably. Of everything I've loaded to...

Hello all, I could use some help here. I am venturing to reload the diminutive .25 auto. Out of all the manuals I possess the only powders suggested are Imr high skor 700x, unique and trailboss. I have all these powders but I'm also looking at burn rate charts that show that Imr PB and IMR 7625...

Hahaha, thanks for the laugh gsbuickman!

kwg020, I have been keeping my eye out for quite a few of the powders you mentioned, I was pretty happy to find the 1lb of h4895 and Varget, both seem to be go to powders for many. All the others would have to be an online purchase for me as the selection around here is slim. I am considering...

DRAINSMITH, I know how you feel, to each their own. If I had ever encountered someone wanting to sell me an autocharge for that price I would have jumped on it as well. I waffled Between the two to be honest as the autocharge was a bit less and most everything else on my bench is Hornaday aside...

Agreed! I don’t look anywhere else for good advice!

DRAINSMITH, I never bought the Hornady autocharge, I’m sure they work great if set up properly! I spent a couple weeks researching what I thought would work best for my needs and settled on the CM1500 even though almost everything else on my bench is Hornady. Green is my favorite color anyway...

Varminterror, Thank you for replying, I read reviews on the lnl autocharge and didn’t think twice about finding something better, this forum led me to the CM1500 and I’m sure I’ll be happy with it as it gets the best reviews everywhere I’ve looked, I’m not a fanboy of any brand, I just find...

Bfh_auto I do live in the sticks, it’s an hour + to get anywhere to purchase ANYTHING locally. I’ll look into the CFE223 for 30-30 for sure but I honestly shoot my ar way more than the 30-30 and picked up a wide variety of (to me) powder to play around with. I was trying to find powders that...

ArchAngelCD, I have heard that fluorescent lights and cellphones throw off the accuracy of digital scales, I noticed as much with my Hornady gs1500 scale in that I didn’t trust it and always zeroed between charges. I could pick up the pan with weighed charge and set it back down and it would be...

thomas15, The 1 bar cellphone signal is only on a good day for me way out here in the boonies where I live lol! I’m way ok with that though but heard so many reviews saying keep your cellphone away from the CM1500 that I wanted some real feedback on weather or not it caused real problems...

ArchAngelCD, I know you’re experienced in reloading and always appreciate your advice and replies to my posts. I bought that 5lbs of CFE.223 Cause trying to find any powder suitable for the.223/5.56 locally is a losing crap shoot around here. Very few lgs and only a couple big box stores...
