Wow this did run the gamut....Stav...like you, I didnt have anyone experienced to help me. I did buy a couple of books and have a couple more than that now. I read the books and the instructions that came with my die sets. Although I use a single stage press or a hand press to help limit my...

I load the .452 Softball with Longshot powder. I use it as a brush gun hunting load and find that it works very well. .452 Softball CCI LPP 7.0 gr Longshot 973fps out of my 16" Hi Point Carbine barrel with great accuracy (I know its a Hi Point but it is fun to shoot and +P rated) No...

I have been using CFE223 in my .308 for hunting, I also use it in my 5.56 and my 30-30. I have found it to be a very good powder, a little temperature sensitive and the cases like to be pretty full. My loads vary depending upon the bullet. A hornady 155gr Amax gets 45. grains while a Nosler...

Before I got my Chrony I reloaded some 200gr JHP with 9gr of Unique, I still have some but they just feel weak, I never cared for them and are probably going to pull them and start over. In the last couple of days I have loaded some Hornady FTX (leverevolution) 225 gr with 9 gr of LongShot...

Ok I used the FTX's without trimming the cases back, they ran perfect and shot great, I learned that my front sight post needs to be replaced because someone before me ground it off too much. They make ragged holes where the 255gr FPFMJ Freedom Munitions I used to make sure where I was...

Ok I handloaded 5, I didnt trim the cases back because the overall length wasnt that much longer than normall, you can see the difference but not a lot. In my leveraction rifle they cycle and function just fine with a COL of 1.683. Used the longshot powder and as little as I use per bullet...

Wow $70 for a pound of Varget....Order from Powder Valley even with the one time hazardous fee of $27.5 that would put a pound for about $45 and if you order more than that if gets cheaper. I cannot get powder or case lube at my LGS, I have to drive halfway across Kansas to get powder at a...

I have Hornady one shot spray lube, lyman spray case lube, lee case lube and RCBS case lube....I like the Hornady the best but all of them wash off real easy after resizing and decapping. I have a little mesh bag like women put bra's in that after I resize a bunch of them I put into the...

I have really good luck with the CFE223, with my 55gr loads I use 26.8 and my 68 grain loads 25.8, they both end up traveling at pretty close to the same speed right under 3000 thinking about upping the charge on my 55gr loads hoping to get around 3150. also going to try it in my Bolt Action...

I have been using it for my AR's with 55grain v-Max and z-max bullets 26.8gr cfe and with 68 gr BTHP Match with 25.8 cfe I dont have any target pictures to show you right now but they have been heck on prairie dogs well over 200 yards. The one thing I did notice when I chrony'd them was my...

I got a box of 100 .452 Hornady FTX (leverevolution) and a pound of Longshot to load bullets for my Rossi M92 Rifle with the 24" barrel. My rifle will cycle and chamber 454 casull's and supposedly shoot them but I have only shot 45 colt through it (its supposed to shoot both, supposedly) I am...
