Sorry if this has been covered before. A member would like to buy a (T/C NW explorer) blackpowder rifle from me. OR shipped to WA. Are there any restrictions on this? Searching numerous websites has confused things even more so. Some say WA has a new law, Cabelas will evidently only ship to WA...

If one studies WW-2 Soviet history, you'll see they had it pretty rough (major understatement) for a while and needed a simple yet effective rifle that could be mass produced and would be tougher than the winters in which it fought. Since the model was a proven design they produced them by the...

I agree with Mx & GJ, AA #9 is a great powder for 357mag and 10mm.

+1 on ReloaderFred's comment about Scharch. Good brass and usually in stock for 10mm. They did have some processed 10mm for a good price, but not sure if they have anymore. You can call them and check - (719)539-7242

Battman, welcome to the forum. As capreppy said, there are a lot of us LnL AP users here that can give you ton's of advice. Looks like your going to be shooting that "little snubbie" a lot more often

My Weatherby Vanguard likes 22gr RL-10 and 55gr Nosler Ballistic Tip or 55gr Midway dogtown bullets the best. H-335, H-322, Varget, RL-15, 4895, 748 all worked quite well, but not quite as good or consistent as RL-10 at least for my trigger finger and rifle.

Longshot, AA#9 and 800x are all superb 10mm upper end powders. As mentioned before, 800x does not meter well.

tuj - 1. No more dangerous than walking out to pick up the mail..... so long as all safety rules and loading by a published manual are followed. When a person loads outside these simple parameters bad things can happen. If you read on a message board someones load data, take it with a grain of...

gpwelding1 - Nice job! I remember years ago when I started flying, my instructor would ask a question on how would I do this or do that.... The only acceptable answer was.... BY THE BOOK..... Handloading is no different.

Nice to hear that your such an authority on the subject Rhino. When a die I pay for cost's you anything, then you can say it's a waste of money. Maybe. I've used a GR-x die on 1000's of pcs of 10mm & 40 S&W brass and will continue to do so.

I've been using the Redding GR-x push-thru die for all 10mm reloads. If your going to pick one up, I suggest getting the carbide version.

+1 on Berry's plated. 180gr FP are super accurate.

10mm and Longshot are made for each other. Very accurate with 180gr MG JHP or XTP's & meters great. 800x and AA #9 are also good choices for 10mm, but I still prefer LS.

Longshot with AA#9 coming in a close second. 800x is also great, but as ljnowell mentioned, it meters poorly. All of these with 155gr or 180gr XTP's are very accurate.

788Ham --- the 55gr SP and HP DogTown bullets have shot great in my rifle. You might try a box of 100 next time you order from Midway.

RL-15, with H335, H322, RL-10 & Varget coming in a close 2nd.

There are so many powders that perform well in .223. In my Weatherby Vanguard 1-12" I've had good luck with - W-748 BLC-2 H-335 H-322 RL-10 RL-15 Varget I usually load 55gr Nosler BT's, Hornady V-max and Midway's DogTown bullets and all the powders listed above with all bullets shown are...

If the guy didn't sell a thing at the show, he has no one to blame but himself for his "marketing efforts"....

Hornady 7th Edition does show AA# 9 at 14.9gr max for 180 XTP's. It's not the first time a bullet mfg and powder mfg data are different. I've loaded #9 at close to Hornady's max and saw no signs of pressure. YMMV. My preferred powder for 10mm is Longshot.

Others may feel differently, but even if I didn't save a dime handloading, I would still do it simply because I enjoy loading my own ammo. But since I do save money, especially on several calibers, it's a hobby that pays..... And there is not too many of those.
