    Case neck turning

    I apologize if this has been discussed. I was unable to locate any info on the site. I am converting 7.62x39 brass to 6.5 grendel. I have sized and ready for firing. I measured neck wall thickness to vary between 0.010-0.014" on all cases measured. Not surprising since it was necked down. Have...

    Reduced loads for fireforming

    I am the process of fireforming 7.62x39 to 6.5 grendel. It appears the general consesus is to go to the minimum advertised powder charge. I did some measuring using AA 9 as it is a fine grain powder. Brand new unfired Starline 6.5 grendel would hold 33 gr of AA 9. Unfired but formed 6.5 grendel...

    Fireforming 6.5 Grendel

    I am looking to reform 7.62x39 brass to 6.5 grendel. I've got a lot of 7.62x39 brass. I will be resizing using Lee dies. It appears grendel has less taper than 7.62. Looking for suggestions. I have hornady 123 gr 6.5. What is a good way to fireform after resizing? TIA

    135 gr 308 SMK

    I got my hands a 500 rd box of 135 gr. 308 SMK bullets. It appears that these are no longer made by Sierra. The only load data I can find came from a Sierra tech that said to use 150 gr load data. Does any have any experience with these bullets. I can't shoot long as the bullet doesn't even sit...

    RMR 223 69 gr. at last

    Got my 1k order in today after 10 days in postal limbo. It's very aggravating watching it bounce around in my area. But now I have it. This is where my OCD kicks in. I'm one of those people that weighs all components prior to assembly. I haven't finished yet on the bullets but I have about 1/2...

    357 mag in 2 1/2 barrel

    Does anyone have a preferred recipe to get the most velocity out of a 2 1/2 inch barrel. I realize a faster powder will give best velocity in a short barrel. Just looking for best powder and maybe a good load. TIA

    Older and recent LC 5.56 brass

    I am your typical brass whore. I have a connection at a range and can get all the brass I can eat. Recently I was able to locate a substantial amount of LC 5.56 brass. I noticed that there were a few pieces with dates 19 and 20 which looked different from earlier dated brass. Any one have any...

    Blazer 10mm SPP

    I got my hands on a bucket of range brass. I found about 100 pieces of Blazer 10mm with SPPs. The brass was exceptionally dirty on the exterior with what looked like a very minimal glock smile. Has anyone done any reloading with this brass? TIA

    Oversized Lead Bullets in rifles

    I would like to hear your thoughts and experiences with using oversized lead bullets in rifles. I have some lead bullets that larger than the copper jacketed bullets that I have used in the past. I would like to know your experiences with lead that might be up to 0.004" over copper jacketed...

    Dry tumbling with steel pins?

    Ok. This may be absurd but I'm gonna ask. Has anyone tried to clean cases with stainless pins in a vibratory tumbler that would normally be used in a wet tumbler?
