My wife never did like my mothers china cabinet so I asked her if I could make a gun cabinet out of it, she said yes and the following is what I came up with.

Has anybody loaded the MO 125g lead cone bullets in 38 spcl? My 38 spcl lead bullets from MO bullet measure .357 and the 9mm are .356. Is that enough to really make a difference and can you substitute them for 38 spcl. Just wondering if anybody has done this.

If one were to make their own steel gong target, what type of steel plate would you use? How thick etc?

Went shooting with a guy I know, when we picked up the brass I looked at these cases from a 7.62x25. What do you all make of these primers?

lead bullet hardness vs too fast of bullet speed = leading. yeah or nay? For example if you have a 'softer' lead bullet, shooting it at a 'fast' rate, is leading connected to bullet speed and bullet hardness? If NO, then what is leading connected to or caused by? This to settle a...

The thread on load data forms made me start putting my own together on an excel spread sheet. I have the basics of it lined out but I want to add a cell that would allow me to plug the wt of the bullet, a chrono speed and calculate the bullet energy. Anybody have that formula and how to...

Now that everything is priced to the moon and back, how much does everybody think they are saving now? Yesterday a LGS was selling .223 for $90 per 100 or 90 cents each. Based on what I bought all my components for, I can reload it for about 20 cents each, give or take 2 cents. That's about...

I have a sig m400 that I am trying to get the reloading lined out using the HDY 68gr HP/BT and 75gr HP/BT. I am having a problem getting the rounds to chamber correctly. COL is 2.25-2.23. It appears the problem is that the HP does not want to slide up the ramp easily and pushes the bullet...

so a local store has these at a pretty good price. are they a dedicated, muzzle loader only scope, or can they go onto a 270?? the one i'm looking at is a 3x9 40mm scope. anybody know anything about them??

Anybody else had any primers fail to fire from Winchester, WLR and WLRM? I've had two now. One last october during hunting season and another today. the WLRM was on a 300WSM and the WLR was on a 25-06.

I recently started reloading lead bullets for the 9mm, 38spcl/357mag and 45ACP. A lot of what I've read about is to be on the lookout for leading in the barrell. What specifically am I looking for to identify leading in the barrell? When I cleaned my pistols, the barrels all came out...

What do you all think? Was just given one as an early Christmas present. Pleasantly surprised.

this year my 14 yr old son went with me hunting. he got his first deer, a doe. Got it on the 7th and last day hunting. He saw several opportunities lost due to not being ready, also passed on a few shots due it it just not being a good shot. all in all a good hunt for him to learn patients...

I purchased some hsm 125gr semi wadcutter bullets, lead, using unique powder. The hsm site says to use comparable load data for lead bullets. So I loaded some; 7.3-7.5 gr unique for a .357 load- based on my lyman book. the book says for a 120gr starting load 7.2, max load 9.4 Now I'm...

We were out yesterday trying to dial in my 14 yr olds 270 for hunting season. Getting him more practice, trying to narrow down which hand load we wanted to use etc. the last time we were out he was shooting well. 2x and 3x moa at 100 yds. Yesterday he was not doing well, bad day shooting...

I'm a rookie at reloading and ran into a problem. When loading Nossler Ballistic tip, yellow tips into 270 brass, the tip of the bullet got stuck several times in the die. Had to take the die out and take it apart to dislodge the bullet. How do you keep this from happening? The cases this...

My 13 yr old is taking Hunter Safety this week. Tonight was ethics and the question posed to the adults was; "If your child shot the wrong animal, doe for a buck or some such, would you turn them in?" I haven't answered him yet. I already know my answer, yes I would- with a lengthy...

can you use 357 dies to reload 38sp in 38sp brass? also, does the brass make a difference, i.e., is the brass interchangeable?
