    New Universal powder?

    I like Universal a lot for mid-range 357 and 45 Colt. I've had very good results in 9mm and 45 Auto too. It burns clean and meters great. It has always been made in Australia by ADI and imported and branded by Hodgdon in the US. A few years back there was a fire at the ADI plant and all of the...

    WST for 45 Auto

    I've been wanting to try WST in 45 Auto for a long time. I stopped in at my LGS Saturday and they had some in stock finally so I bought two pounds. I have data for 45 Auto but couldn't find any for the other cartridges I load so I guess it's all going in 45 Auto cases. I load Xtreme 200gr plated...

    Sierra 240gr JHC and 296/H110

    I've managed to get my hands on a box of Sierra 45 caliber 240gr JHCs and want to load them for my 45 Colt Blackhawk with 296. I have the most recent data from Hodgdon and Sierra and they are in conflict. Sierra starts at 21.1gr and maxes at 25.0gr. Hodgdon starts at 27.2gr and maxes at 28.0gr...

    New powder for 357 Mag and Ruger-only 45 Colt

    I finally exhausted the last of an eight pound keg of N110 I purchased years ago. N110 had been my go to powder for full power 357 and hot 45 Colt loads since I started using it over ten years ago, hence the bulk purchase. Now N110 is no longer available in bulk, is hard to find and is priced...

    OUCH! - Need help shooting from the bench

    About eleven years ago I bought a T/C Encore rifle in 7mm-08. I chose the 7mm-08 because the round was described as mild recoiling but still with plenty of power. I loaded and shot 500 rounds back then but I haven't loaded for it or shot it in going on nine years. About a year after I bought the...

    OAL for 52 gr A-MAX in 223 Rem

    Does anyone have a published OAL for Hornady's 52 gr A-MAX (#22492) in 223 Rem? I thought I had their latest data but I don't :(. Any data would be great too. I'm planning on using N133 and WSR primers in Win cases. I also have some IMR 3031 and Varget if I can't get good data for N133 and I may...

    IMR 4227 for 357 and Ruger 45 Colt

    I recently bought a pound of 4227 to try as a replacement for N110. I emailed Hodgdon with a question but still haven't gotten a reply. I'm going to have to call them but in the mean time maybe someone here can answer my question and tell me what they know about this powder. Here is the email...

    CCI vs Remington primers - range report

    I finally got around to loading and retesting my pet loads in 9mm, 357, 45 Auto and 45 Colt with Remington primers. I still had loads with CCI primers so I shot them over the chronograph today too to compare. Average velocities were practically identical. It looks like you can substitute one for...

    CCI vs Remington primers

    I've been reloading for over ten years now and have used CCI primers almost exclusively. All of my pet loads I worked up with CCIs. Well, CCIs have become scarce around here and one gun store worker told me that they have been having trouble stocking them for a while and can't take orders...
