I've seen plenty of Varget, Benchmark, 4064, 335, and 8208 around here, but pistol powder has been nowhere to be seen until yesterday. Yesterday I saw Bullseye and Power Pistol for the first time in a long time, sadly could only get a pound of each. No 231 or HP38 yet, but I'm hopeful that the...

This sounds like a great reason to buy an M1 Carbine!

I've loaded lots of 223 on my LCT. What I've found works efficiently for me is to dispense a primer into the cup on the last stroke completing a round. So I raise the ram seating the bullet, click the primer into the cup, lower the ram, remove the completed round, place the next piece of...

Definitely for me. I never would have bought a 41 Mag if I couldn't handload for it.

Great results in a pair of AR's using Benchmark and 55gr VMAX or 53gr HPBT bullets. Still hoping to find some 60gr VMAXs to try with it

I have zero complaints about my Auto Disk and Pro Auto Disk measures (currently have 3). They leak some with fine ball powders like H110 or WC844, but not enough to make a mess around my loading area. With Win 231 and Bullseye I see next to zero leakage. Charges don't vary more than +/-...

I guess it would have helped if I'd read the whole instructions.....I saw the chart and ran with that! Figured the 30-06 ballistic info would work fine since it's the same caliber projectile as the OP would be using. Good catch and thanks for the correction!

From this link: http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?fid=1&tid=8790 The reticle for .308/7.62 is calibrated for a .308 caliber 180gr SP projectile fired at 2650 fps. Using the Hornady ballistic calculator at: http://www.hornady.com/ballistics-resource/ballistics-calculator A 180gr SP...

First off, just to clarify, what exact scope is it? I see 6x and 4-14x Springfield "Government" scopes. Was there any paperwork with the optic listing what drop at each range is (in mils or moa preferably)?

I have run into the same issue with 40 S&W cases when loading on my Pro1000, which uses the same case feed mechanism. Smooth and consistent operation of the handle was the key for getting mine to feed them properly without tipping over. I found that any jerky motions, particularly when lowering...

Good call, could be... My father got a matching set of the Buckeye specials that Ruger did back in the 80's or early 90's, one in 32-20/32 H&R Magnum, and the other in 38-40/10mm. He had Hamilton Bowen tune them up and make a new cylinder that handles 40 S&W in the 10mm combo, and he bored out...

Did they do a factory run of them like that? Or did you get someone to do a custom job for you? That looks pretty sweet!

Love my Blackhawk in 30 Carbine, it makes a great companion to my M1 Carbine. I've only ever loaded 110gr FMJ with H110/296, and the muzzle blast and report definitely get some attention at the range! Very accurate and the recoil is quite manageable. I'd love to get my paws on an Automag III...

RC - Yikes! I've always had good experiences with Federal brass....goes to show that all manufacturers put out lemons occasionally.

Well I made it back out to the range today even though I couldn't find any other 44mag ammo to try. Fired another 5 rounds, all split. The fellow shooting next to me had just wrapped up his box of 44mag, shooting a S&W 629, but was kind enough to offer to put a few of my PMC rounds down range...
