On 9mm check for a crimped primer pocket. They cause all kinds of problems.
Touching the lands spikes the pressure & those were all over the target. I didn't shoot more then a couple & never tried to work out a load...
I never measure. I keep a standard in with the dies that I pop into the shell holder & adjust the die to it.
I haven't but I have used the cheap $2 one. They drift & respond slow because the true weight is between measurements. I switched for the same...
Hmm. Well just reading your post makes me feel poor so I can't give much insight there. However I would like to give this, a second scale can't...
That is well worded. Much better then I put it. I also agree the signs are harder to see in a automatic but still there. I bought some factory...
If you can afford & g want the tools to measure pressure with then great. However there is things to look at as your loading. I can't teach you...
Did you really think before posting this? For reloaders that wasn't too stick to printed data & just mock it then I say to them have fun. But why...
What is"good enough groups" this changes for me depending on what I'm doing. Everyone's standards for good enough seem different. As far as...
Good luck with that goal. It's probably harder then the perfect load.
It's been several years since I've tried to make hunting rifles shoot through the same hole however it can be done. The nodes that done it usually...
I think you misunderstood me. Trying to stick to that .1gn measurement is hard enough. But now go shoot the exact same loads on another day & see...
I like that. I might still it. Lol
It's about bullet delivering a given amount of energy into a target & hitting the mark to me. As far as speed goes off course I want it to shoot...
Tree rats are tasty. I also use W748 in ARs but that was because it was cheap which isn't the case anymore. 17HMR is nice to touch them in the...
I have never seen a failure like that. Thanks for posting it.
Maybe it's in the way your looking at it. Instead of a 3 shoot group think of it as a 9 shoot group that the spread in the charge is as much as...
Why? What is the bullet doing that you don't like? What are you trying to make it so that the factory does & yours won't other then go faster?
The cheap one my son got would be a good do it all. Starts about 4x V-MAX work well on deer here so they should work for you.
I have to disagree. Cheap name brands are going to be junk. By the time you pay for the name nothing is left to pay for the glass. You can get a...
Separate names with a comma.
