I'm going to buy one of these for .223 loading with 52 to 55 Gr. bullets. Plan to shoot in a bolt rifle with a 1 in 9 twist. Accuracy shooting at paper targets from a rest at 100 and 200 yards will be the main goal. When I'm not metering the charge by hand, I'll be using a RCBS uniflow. Is one...

I have been loading various pistol cartridges on a RCBS single stage press for awhile now and have obtained very good results. I'd like to begin .223 rifle cartridge hand loading soon. I plan to buy some new brass to start with and shoot it exclusively in a bolt rifle. Being that I will start...

My question is two parts. The first is that I have been using Rainier 148 Gr. DEWC (copper plated) bullets in 38 special cases with 2.7 Gr. of Bullseye. I lightly crimp almost flush with the case mouth. I have had good results with this load and understand it has been a traditional load for many...

I'd like to slug the bore of my 1911 barrel and also do a 38 special revolver. With the 1911, I plan to use a Speer round lead ball available in .454" diameter. In the 38 special barrel I'm not so sure. Speer offers a .375" round ball. Is this too big? Should I just look for an egg shaped...

...but what's the flashiest powder you've ever used??

I woulld like some opinions from those that use full wadcutters that are copper plated. I see them for sale by Rainier, Berrys, X-Treme and there are probably other manufacturers that I'm not even aware of. My goal is to use a very light (2.7Gr.) load of Bullseye for punching paper at 25-50...

I have dies from Lee, RCBS and Redding. I'll buy what works well and if I have to pay a bit more it's worth it to me. That said, I don't like to throw money away either. I have a single stage rock chucker and I'm looking to get into 38 Special handloading/reloading with the occasional batch of...

Hi all, I'm experienced with .380 and .45 ACP reloading, but am just getting my feet wet with .38 Special. In looking over a new Speer reloading manual, a question arose. It's more of a theory question I guess. I thought I would seek the answer here. I know the .357 Magnum cartridge is made...

I'm wanting to move my wife up from .22 rimfire practice to a 38 special. I plan to use a 4" barrel S&W Model 66 with Hogue grips. We mostly punch paper indoors at 25-50 feet. I'm looking for advice on what amount of powder load (Bullseye) and what type bullet might be best. Crimp preferences...
