My limited research showed me (bunch of years ago) the 22 LR bullets normally run 6-8 BHN. Pretty soft but not as soft as pure, about 5 BHN...
Personally, I believe the chunk of media would be blown out by the primer pressure...
The guberment already knows what firearms I purchase (NICS form at FFL ), and I rarely buy ammo on line, the only purchases I've made are...
There is a lot of information in a reloading manual besides load data/powder charges. Each new edition usually has new info and articles that are...
After cleaning my most important step takes place; inspection. Routine with me and any media "stuck" in a flash hole is easily spotted (adds ,001...
I see reference to downloading a pdf of a particular web site load data. Then printing, and keeping the data in a binder. What's the difference...
I must be blessed! I use purchased "once fired" brass, range pickups, mixed headstamp cases untrimmed. Been reloading for 40+ years and my...
Unless the powder charge was maximum, I'd shoot 'em...
Long thread, but IIRC someone mention differing diameter of SA primers as compared it US made primers, so yesterday while sitting at my bench...
Besides ammo cans I use plastic shoe boxes, the soft, snap on lid kind, for handload storage and Beer Nuts jars for loose rounds. At the dollar...
I like books. So, I try to buy manuals soon after they become available. Don't know how many I have, but there's a bunch. Because of my Rule #1, I...
Thanks 234, I had forgotten that simple way to determine throat diameter, much easier than a chamber cast or a "pound cast"...
Excellent place (almost as good a THR!) to find info on all aspects of cast bullets; https://castboolits.gunloads.com/ and the cast bullet...
Just an off side thought. You mention a ,355 sizing die. IMO this seems to be undersize for 9mm, 38/357. My success with PCing consists of;...
My 1911 will feed, fire, and eject any 45 ACP cartridge that will fit the magazine. Never tried full wadcutters or empty cases, but I've heard of...
I started casting long before I could afford a lubersizer, nose punches and dies. I started with pan lubing with a long discontinued Lee kit...
You pushed a fired primer out with a tooth pick then a live primer was a snug fit? Hmmm. More research needed. I've reloaded some very hot, max...
I did. Tuesday I was reloading some 45 ACP with small primers. Today I got my kick about shoes, the ones I wear in my shop, and when I went to put...
Well, I know it's not CFE Pistol, Bluedot, Universal, BR-5 nor Bullseye, or W231
One of the things I strongly suggest to a newer reloader (or any reloader for that matter), is to find a load (bullet, powder, primer, etc.) in...
