I have used my LR at the inside range I use twice and it worked without a miss. When I first got it, I set it up in the backyard and tracked rounds (they really are round) from my BB gun.

Thanks to all for your posts. The standard deviation for the four groups shown was 22.05, 35.11, 30.45 and 17.45 - not good. I'm now reloading the full groups again, this time working to get my powder charges more consistent within a test group. I'm planing on making 15 rounds per set...

First real try at developing loads using my new My Lab Radar. I loaded 4 batches of 15 rounds of 45 Auto with 230 gr Rainier RN plated bullets over Unique powder. The four groups represent 5.2 gr, 5.6 gr, 5.9 gr and 6.2 gr. I set the target at 30 feet and shot freehand using by XD Compact 45...

Free - to a good home - Hornady #45137 THEY ARE GONE!! Free, postage included, approximately 900 Hornady #45137 FMJ SWC, 0.451 diameter, 185 grain bullets. Neither of my 45's like them. They go to the first PM with full and complete mailing address. Just a little give back for all the help...

Thanks Fred. I have developed the habit of looking in every shell in the reloading tray after charging to gut check powder level, so when I first noticed the shell had no powder, the first thing I did was look on the floor to see if I had dumped the powder out. Love the hobby...just wish I...

So I'm new to reloading, with only a couple of thousand rounds under my belt, compared to most here. Last night I found another way to make an error in reloading, so I thought I would share it. I like to size and prime .45 ACP and 380 Auto and store those in bulk. I got my new My Lab Radar...

Good stuff...thanks.

I got mine about a month ago but haven't had a chance to get to the range yet. I'm planning to carry it to the range Sunday afternoon so I put batteries in it and set it up in the back yard today to get aquainted with the controls. I took my 50 year old pump BB gun and put about 12 shots down...

I was surprised that it picked up the other lanes as well. The RSO stopped by and he has a chrony and since this was my first, I asked him what was going on. He didn't have a clue but had never run his at an indoor range. The numbers from the other lanes were all over the board, but the fact...

Here is my experience. I purchased a Pro Chrono, tripod dolly(already had a tripod), a telescoping pole, a chrono light kit and a small backup power supply that would give me 120 volts out for the led light package. I mounted the chrono to the tripod, which set on the tripod dolly. I made a...

Wife and I both carry the P238 and love them. I use 2.6 gr of titegroup with Rainier plated 100 gr RN at .98 AOL and have never had a problem.

I've had good luck with Rainier plated 100 gr.

Great response from you all, as usual. Thanks.

I've learned here that leaving powder in a powder feeder is not a good idea in that it can deteriorate the clear reservoir cylinder over time. Often I'll reload some one night and want to finish up or do another batch of the same recipe the next night. I use Hornady LNL powder feeders, so is...

I'm still new at reloading as well, which is why I posted. In the scrap bin they go. Thanks for all your replies.
