I think i’ll see if there is any accuracy difference in Hornady 55 Grain FMJ vs Everglades Ammo 55 Grain FMJ Version 2.0

I have always wanted to take a look a shooters world, I think i’ll try that next.

I got some surprising results. I tested 4 cartridges today. 2 commercial loads 2 hand loads. Palmetto State Armory upper, 16” barrel, with a 1/7 twist. Used a caldwell rifle rest. Cold day, snowing, windy. Winchester white box. Average velocity 3093 FPS. 5 shot group @ 100 yds 3 3/4...

Long over due update on this. I was able to successfully develop a nice load that I will continue to test. I am currently at just over 1200 FPS the bullets I am using actually weigh out at 310 Grains and is providing just over 1000 ftlbs of energy. I am happy with velocity and energy considering...

I love my 550 but I would have went with a 750 if I could do it all over again because it has more stations and more options overall. That being said I’m content with my 550 and doubt I will ever change. Items I recommend are a strong mount, bullet tray kit, out put & brass bins, tool caddy...

I have decided that I am going to go with 21 grains H110 under my 300 grain bullet. If I can get to the range this week i’ll report results.

I really appreciate the information

Thank you!

Thank you for the information. Very interesting that with H110 you can get a higher velocity with the 310 grain bullet vs the 300 grain bullet.

I appreciate all the information from everyone. I’m may look into AA-9. I would like to get to just over 1,100 FPS with the bullet i’m using but I don’t know if that’s possible with my barrel length.

I have a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan .44 Mag that I want to develop a bear defense load for. For bullets I currently have Montana Bullet Works .431 300 Grain WFN-GC hard cast. My Lyman 49th and 50th edition lists a 300 grain lead bullet with a max H-110 load of 18.5, I read an article that...

I really like my Frankford Arsenal Case Trim and Prep Center but holding each case to trim when doing large batches fatigues my hand. I used my Frankford Arsenal hand priming tool with the large primer rod to hold cases and it cut down on time and is much more ergonomic. Maybe everyone already...

May I get the code please. Thank you!

Thank you everyone for the help!

I have been reloading pistol and rifle for a while now and wanted to try shotgun reloading. I have some questions I am hoping to get some help and direction on. I am looking at 12 GA 2 3/4 load data for 1 1/8 oz target loads and one hull listed is “Winchester HS or compression formed plastic...
