I have a 1901 marlin 1897 lever action .22 I never use, it was my grandpas but I don't know if it was his grandpas or if it was one of his beater guns. I have been toying with the idea of trading it since I can't really put a monetary value on it. Anyway I've been offered a Springfield P9C 9mm...

I just ordered 500 pieces of NEW LC 7.62x51 primed brass, do I need to size the neck? I bought some new Winchester 30/30 once and had to full length resize to get it to chamber in my model 94. I will be shooting this out of a Springfield M1A. Also should I expect to have to trim it? thanks, John

I got a Remington 742CDL in 30-06 in a recent deal and have someone interested in buying it. anyone have an idea on value? Id say its 95-100% condition. Ive looked on gunbroker and they are all over the place. from what I gather this is the deluxe carbine edition. Thanks!

So I bought an AR15, have collected an obscene amount of brass and started resizing on my single stage press.....this is gonna take a while! so I am entertaining the idea of getting a progressive setup, where do I begin? I load 308 for my M1A, 30-30 and 30-06 on the single stage RCBS press I...

I have some Speer 165g and am trying accurate#5. I can only find data for HP 165 gr. pills. I have gone from start to Max (6.4-7.1) and cannot get my 4053 smith 3rd gen to cycle them. I am crimping with a lee fcd and think I'm crimping enough. There are zero signs of pressure at max load. I...

How many rounds do you make at your starting load? Do you load up by .5 gr or so and bring 10 of each to the range and test? That's what u was thinking of doing. I bought some SMP 846 and understand it is much like BLC(2) so I started 10% below the starting load for BLC and made about 10 of...

A friend of mine gave me some surplus 7.62NATO rounds that have no makers mark, actually its only stamped "7.62mm", no Nato, no X51, and no head stamp. the box they came in is tan in color and has no markings either. they are brass cased, annealed necks, FMJ bullet and Beredan primed with a red...

After some more testing I've found that 3031 out shoots 4895 in my new M1A. But I don't see it as a very popular powder in the M1A. Otis listed as being a fast enough powder for the gas system and doesn't require compression in military cases. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With my new M1A scout! I shot 3 different loads today, first was magtech 150 commercial ammo witch yielded a 5 inch group or so, then I shot 44gr. IMR 4895, in new Winchester cases with CCI200 primers and 147 gr. Milsurp FMJ bullets and had 1.5" groups at 50 yards, and finished with 42 grains...

I just picked up a brand new Springfield M1a scout rifle and plan on hand loading. I have read some articles about reloading for this gun and understand most of the issues people have but I can't get my head around adjusting the sizer to correct headspace. I have a single stage rcbs and an rcbs...
