I am a relative newbie to target shooting. I have been shooting for about 8 months now. I recently acquired a Remington 700 Police in .223 and a Remington 700 5R in .308. I have been both of them have standard Remington triggers with about 1.5 lbs. I have been shooting them off the bench...

I have a bunch of soft tip 150 gr spitzer bullets that I would load in 30-30. My question is if they are ok to shoot as long as I load them one at a time through the chamber?

Hello, I have been reloading for about 6 months now, initially I just reloaded 45 ACP but for the last couple of months I have been reloading 30-06. I started with a Pawn shop Savage 110 that shot pretty awful so I recently but a new Savage 111. I know it is not great out of the box but I...

I have done it with the loadmaster and it happend when something went wrong (flipped primer or upside down case in the feeder and the ram was already partly up the stroke and the powder disk got to about the middle of the cavity, when I brought the lever down to fix the problem I thought that...

The human being will find a way to screw up a fool proof process. The moment we forget that, bad things happen and surprise us. Of course not forgetting is not guarantee that bad things will not happen any way but....

I am a newbie to rifles so please bear with me. I recently bought a Savage 110E and I am having problems with the magazine. When I load the rounds into it, the one on top does not protrude enough for it to be picked up by the bolt when closed. I dissasambled the rifle (blind magazine) and as...

I just bought 400 rds of military surplus (according to the guy in the store they belonged to an old cuban guy that was waiting for a redo of the Bay of Pigs) of 30-06, according to him they were kept in 8 rd clips. The headstap is LC 89 and they looked a little tarnished and with some dings...

Since the actual muzzle speed is apparently a very useful measure, it looks like I need a new gadget. Which ones do you recomend and why. Let's not aim for the Rolls Royce of chronographs. Thanks.

Thanks guys Appreciated. Since when I was using 4.8 or 5.0 in my Glock I was pretty happy, I guess I will not push it any more. Thanks everyone.

I was working up my first 45 ACP load. I am using Bullseye and 200 gr round nose bullets from Rainier. I recently got a copy of the Reiniers loading data and it says that for 200 gr FN bullets the min charge is 4.0 gr and the max is 6.0 so I started loading at 5.0. 5.0 was ok 5.2 was...

Thank you Thanks for the info. Where can I find that manual? Do they have an online version?

Thanks everyone I feel better.

I am loading 45 ACP rounds using Rainer Bullets 200 gr copper plated round nose bullets. The Lyman manual does not have that exact bullet listed. My choices are: In their website rainer says you should use lead bullet data because thier copper plating is very...

I am kind of new to reloading. Up to now I have been reloading pistol ammo for plinking. I started with a single stage lee and then I bought a Loadmaster (that is a whole different thread:banghead:) but today I decided to start developing a load for my Glock21 just to get used to the process...

I recently bought a SW Nightguard in 45 ACP. I love the moon clips, you will be happy with them BUT BUY A LOADING AND UNLOADING TOOL. I bought the "moonclip tool" for about 30 dlls. I have bought way to many gadgets in my life and I can tell you that those are the best spent 30 dlls. Enjoy...
