I once heard that rifle primers were "harder" and required a harder strike than pistol primers. I'm not sure why a rifle's hammer or striker would necessarily hit harder than a pistols's but that was the gist of the comment. It's good to hear people have tried this without misfires.

Well you guys were all a big help with this and I thought you would like to hear the results of my work with the 10mm after the problems I had. Most of you seem to have picked out the problem correctly, it was the powder type and the charge weight I was using. I started working up a load using...

Havok, Out of curiosity, what is your Bullseye load for 180gr plated/lead projectile?

Duval, ha I guess I really haven't eliminated the shooter but man I just can't imagine I'm that bad! I shoot my .44 mag well and it kicks harder than the G20. I think everyone is on the right track with Bullseye being the wrong powder for the job. I have a lot of longshot fortunately and I think...

I run plated exclusively for everything I load, but I always make sure that I am not exceeding the max velocity spec from the manufacturer. Usually Ranier or Berry's.

What really struck me as odd was that in maybe 10 years of reloading, I have certainly had more and less accurate loads with the wide variety of calibers I load, but they have all been essentially accurate. This is the first time I have ever had one that was so incredibly inaccurate. I almost...

Thanks for all of the recipe and powder suggestions. I will get some factory ammo, and make some new loads and report back!

KWG, upon inspection the barrel appears to be normal. Thanks for the suggestion. RC, thanks for the input. This is a terrible excuse, but I chose Bullseye because I had two pounds of it I bought during the shortage, it was listed as an option in the Hornady book, and according to the data it...

7.5gr Trail Boss under Ranier 240gr RNFP nice bunny fart load for the .44mag

Hello, I'm an experienced reloader and usually a pretty darn good shot with just about any pistol I pick up. However, I just received a new Glock 20 and I sincerely can not hit the side of a barn with it. I worked up some loads for the gun and arrived at the following: New Starline brass...

I wonder if Sig could do it if I sent the gun to them?

Hi, I have a Sig P250 I like a lot, but it's DAO. Does anyone know if the gun can be converted to DA/SA? (first shot DA and subsequent shots SA) Thanks!

I have a storm lake on an XD45 and a Silencerco Osprey 45. It shoots round nose well which is what I loaded to play with the suppressor, however at the range one day, I accidentally picked up a magazine of carry ammo (Winchester PDX) and one of the hollow points got stuck on the base of the feed...

Thank you for that blog post. I love American history and photos.
