Thanks for the help folks. I greatly appreciate it. Glad I am not alone in this and I know what is going on now.

Hello everyone, I have been reloading for about 3 years now and have can honestly say I have never had a problem with my loaded ammo shooting accurately and reliably, however I have always had problems with OAL being inconsistent and it is driving me crazy. First off I will list the equipment...

Nice gun, even nicer store with good people it is my favorite gun shop in the area Enjoy shooting the SVT

Thanks RC helpful as always What constitutes a fast twist in terms of these bullets? I do not plan on going past 22.0 gr of IMR 3031 with these rounds max load is 24.3gr I plan to shoot these out of a 1/9 Twist AR-15 and I have a savage model 11 which I believe is also a 1/9 twist, Would this...

I recently purchased some Speer TNT 55gr JHP bullets and I am having some trouble finding some decent load data for these bullets. I am looking to load these in .223 Rem with IMR 3031 I am also wondering if I can use the same load data I used with some 55gr FMJ rounds I am using load...

I wouldn't reload it..........I would just swim in it.

Well I just got back from the gun shop with some new Case Guard loading trays and cartridge boxes to transport my shiny new reloads to the range to be disposed of properly another 50 dollars down the drain @1SOW The guy who convinced me to start loading listed saving money as a reason to start...

Recently I posted two threads in this forum asking for help. I got some great advice from both of the threads and took much of it to heart, it helped me to load my first rounds and today to much success I fired those rounds. :D I loaded two calibers 9mm Luger and .223 Rem Here is load...

For clarification my process is to use the tare button to subtract the weight of the pan, with the pan on the scale the weight is zero. I then throw a charge and weigh it in the pan after this I dump the powder in the pan back into the powder measure and place the pan back on the scale, I then...

***Update*** Re-zeroing before after every charge seems to have fixed all inconsistency issues the scale is right in the proper margin of error which is alright as I do not plan to work near the max load area with this scale. I am going to buy a RCBS 505 scale is short order for hotter loads...

Thanks for quick replies For those not familiar with the Hornady GS-1500 it is a battery operated and it shuts off after 30 seconds of not being used so it is hard to let it warm up. I do use the tare function to subtract the weight of the pan from the powder weight, every time I put the...

I posted a question on this board yesterday and got some great info and answers but, alas I have run into another problem please bear with me. I recently just got into reloading. I have been trying to load some 9mm Luger. I am using a Hornady GS-1500 scale which seems to be the problem It...

@ bds My cases look exactly like those just a slight bulge good to know it's not a problem I always knew not to go under the MIN OAL. The data in my manual says the published OAL is the minimum for the maximum load published. So I assume using near that OAL even for higher power loads will be...

@Scimmia Thanks for the prompt response, good to know I didn't screw something up I guess I assumed correctly with the flaring, it was just enough so the bullet would not fall out of the case on it's way up to the seating die. Any thoughts on my load data or choice to seat slightly above min...

First a little background, I have been shooting for about 4 years now and I just got into reloading. I just got set up about 2 days ago. I have equipment for the following calibers, 9mm Luger and .223 Rem Here is my list of equipment: RCBS Partner Press RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure...

@Sport45 My dad was shooting a Marlin 925 using WWB 40gr HP. The range was completely empty no one for many miles. I will take a picture of the whole target later but for now it is a target very similar to this one http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=426631 My target is a...

Thanks for the quick responses. I just wanted to clarify some things, the dimples that were previously painted over were from a 17gr .17 HMR at 100 yards. The target said rated for most rimfire cartridges, obviously not including the .17 HMR. I find it extremely unlikely that I fired two...

I had a strange occurrence at the range today. I am looking for some possible explanations. Today me and my dad decided it was a nice day for some plinking nothing too ambitious, just shooting some steel and a little paper punching. I was using a Remington Target Master single shot rifle. I...

I need a quick answer as I cannot seem to find a definite answer online. I need to know if it is legal for a minor to transport a handgun (Ruger MKIII) to a shooting range on private property and fire it without adult supervision the handgun would be in a proper case during transportation and...
