    Why am I having these primer ignition issues?

    On 9mm check for a crimped primer pocket. They cause all kinds of problems.

    Seating near the lands (Ruger 77)

    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 touching after that. About 20thous does well in my rifles after working up a load.

    Rifle Rounds: Your Acceptable COL Tolerance; Die Tolerance Expectations

    I never measure. I keep a standard in with the dies that I pop into the shell holder & adjust the die to it.

    RCBS RangeMaster 2000 Scale

    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 reasons. The one I use now that is a Smart Reloader. It had a hefty price tag as well but I've been happy with it. There is others on this forum that...

    New Reloader: Share your wisdom please

    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 verify another without a standard. You'll also likely be using a tape measure to verify a caliper. Beam scales aren't in the same league as a digital...

    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 Federal ammo for the BMG the other day & was surprised to see the head had flowed back into the injector port. I haven't talked to Federal but I...

    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 across the web but I can point at what to consider. A case that you could replace the primer, powder, & bullet without sizing is very low. If the primer...

    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 would I ever look at data from three different people & then just guess at which one I should trust more. I have my doubts that any of the major...

    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 hunting rifles go that is all I've ever used. Some are easy to find loads for while others are picky. I've never had a bolt rifle I couldn't get under...

    Shot my first handloads

    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 wasn't large. & It will disappear after a while. Maybe 300 or as much as 500 shots. The rifles I've done this with doesn't have deep throats & with a...

    Shot my first handloads

    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 what they do. We've been having this same conversation in a few different threads over the past week or so.

    What powder is this?

    I like that. I might still it. Lol

    What powder is this?

    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 as flat as possible as long as it doesn't concern the other two factors. If a bullet is traveling to fast it will expand more & I may not get the...

    Hunting with an AR15

    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 head 100 yards away. ;)

    Brass Failure

    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 .6gn. it's just shoot into 3 different targets then stacked to decide where center of the centers are. Then you can see how big of a group your centers...

    What powder is this?

    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?

    Hunting with an AR15

    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.

    Hunting with an AR15

    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 nice Chinese scope for $30-$40. I just bought one for my son that was $40. It's about a 28x zoom. Very clear glass that doesn't even have to have a...
