Be careful using the one shot with big rifle cases. I use the stuff religiously for all of my handgun brass and for 223. Anything bigger I use the Imperial wax.

I love that everyone said to do it! I thought we would have at least 1 “better safe than sorry.” The first time I was def nervous and left a leather glove over to catch any shrapnel. Now I just put on the glasses and pop it out. I have had 1 primer go off while reloading on a Hornady lock n...

I bought the hardened squirrel daddy pins from Amazon and they work great. Gave a couple to a friend, he didn’t think he would need them, silly man!

I get bags of brass every so often. I left some 4831sc for a buddy’s 270 since he was out. I tore the label off and wrote on a piece of tape so it wouldn’t attract attention at work. Also left him a couple boxes of bullets so he can load up some practice for his son. Feel like what goes...

I lost my can of sizing wax, the big one! The small quarter size one is right where I keep it but is now almost out. Finally broke down and bought a new can hornady wax, we will see how it does. BTW, I know that the day the new wax shows up the big can will be found.

Had similiar problems, my shuttle slide wasn't going back far enough to allow a primer to fall into the hole. I had to take the metal tube that the shuttle follows back and bend it away from the press. It works now, but it still occassionally hangs up. Good luck, Jared

I know a guy that has a paper tube, like a paper towel cardboard roll but 3xs longer that he uses to sight through. Some clubs do not like you having a rifle set out when the range is cold and looking through it. I have enough time by myself that I set up my chrono and then go look through the...

Not blown away with the Superformance in 300wsm, it is working for me but not to the extent to move from any other powder. The other thing is that Hornady is using different Superformance powders specific to a certain load and bullet. At least that is the way I understood it. The...

I thought I was the only one doing this, I had problems with my 44mag and 45LC brass getting scored and difficult to size. Started spraying them and cleaned the resizing die, too easy. Been doing this for 2 years now and it makes a huge difference for me. I now do it before running the 40s&w...

I have the Hornady LNL and the Pro 1000 and a Lee single stage. I use the Lee Bench Plate to switch out the Lee stuff, but the Hornady seemed to big and heavy. I have my Hornady attached to a 2x6 then attach it to the bench using 2x4 pieces under the 2x6 and then bolt the whole thing down. It...

Thanks everyone for the advice. I have placed the order with midway for the 30cal Hornady 110gr Vmax and for the Speer 90gr in 270. I will try to move the vel down to 3000-3200 for the 300 and 2800 for the 270. Thanks, Jared

Thanks Archangel, I will try dropping it down 500-1000fps and see if I can achieve any accuracy or if the bullet will even stabilize. I appreciate your time. Jared

So bullet weight doesn't figure into the equation? I remember reading that big cases w/ small bullets i.e. 22-250 and 220 swift burn barrels out faster than others. I wasn't sure what caused the erosion, fast velocities or powder burning around the bullet? And of course I can't find the...

New member here, will shooting super light bullets wear out the barrel faster than regular loads? For example, I was thinking of the 110gr Hornady V-max in 270 win and 300 wsm with a speed around 3500fps. This is per the new Hornady reloading manual. Will this burn out a barrel like shooting...

Try the Leverevolution, I thought it couldn't live up to the hype, but I was wrong. I did 35 gr behind the FTX bullet and had the best accuracy I ever experienced with my Marlin 336. I had an average of 2196 FPS for 4 shots and a group a little over an inch at 100yds. 35.5 the max averaged...
