I don't load for the 25 krag, but I have done some forming. I have found that different brands of brass behave very differently when forming them. Here is a step by step system I came up with to handle some of my difficult brass...

A friend had a Ruger P90 that sent the brass straight up. It would land in your collar, behind your glasses and sometimes land and stay on top of your head. One time a piece of brass landed in the breech just as it was closing on another round and pinched the mouth of the case. (not a failure...

I am no expert in AP, but the ss-109 "green tip" steal penetrator 5.56 projectiles are available from several sources, just search for ss-109 or any source that sells pulled bullets. The black tip 30 cal projectiles are also available, but I don't remember what they are called. Cartridge...

A few of us cast bullets during our lunch hour at work. We plug in the pot 20 minutes before lunch and can get about 150 bullets and still have time to clean up the mess.

I don't know if I agree with the "in case of emergency" thought, but I do have ammo and reload for ammo I don't have firearms for. Since I built a very informal shooting range on our family property, I bring people that have never shot or have not shot in many years to spend the afternoon...

6.5x55 303 British 22-250 8mm Mouser These are not Walmart buys, but Academy carries them. 45 colt (will work in 454 and 460 in a pinch)

Given your specs. you might look at the Simmons Whitetail Classic. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/168462/simmons-whitetail-classic-rifle-scope-65-20x-50mm-adjustable-objective-mil-dot-reticle-matte It fits your specs and price point. It is clear, bright and can be used to see the moons of...

Luckily until a few years ago the only incidents I had were to fire a shotgun in the air to scare off some kid smashing mail boxes and stealing stuff from peoples yards. I moved to town about 20 years ago and hated it until my wife and I moved to her grandparents old house with 7 acres of...

My Accurate book shows a max load of 13.1 gr. of Accurate #9 with a Sierra 85 grain Round Nose @ 1972 fps pressure of 41,000 cup. They worked up the loads using a 9 inch Douglas test barrel to get pressure reading and once the max load was determined, it was fired from a CZ-52 to get the...

Nice Hog! Nice shot! I too like to use small rounds for the added challenge of shot placement. I recently took down a 250+ lb (scale maxed out) hog with a 30 carbine and dropped it where it stood. My buddy shot the same size hog at the same distance through the chest with a 500 S&W Mag and...

I have had more than one rifle that would have the point of impact rise, usually high and left, when the barrel heated up. 4 inches is a lot, but it is worth a shot.

I use Slic silicon base spray (dries dry), but I will give this a try. Thanks for the Info!

I use Varget, BL(C)-2, and H322. I started with the BL(C)-2 and was very pleased with the groups. I did notice over several years that my Point of Impact would change with wide changes in temp. Not much, but just enough to be irritating. I use Varget in a 243 load and H322 in a 6mm PPC load...

Even a tiny air pocket anywhere within the jacket would cause the bullet to destabilize when spinning at high RPM. I would however suspect that this is highly unlikely given the bonding and swaging process. Sierra is also very good at quality control. I find very little weight spread...

I have seen something close to this on one of my 700 yard targets. After further investigation, that range caused my bullets to arch into the branches of near by trees. Although I got some key holes, I have never seen such clean profiles. Did you notice any difference in sound or recoil...

It looks like you have very little powder in your case. You may be getting inconsistent ignition of your powder. You can try using a slower powder to get more in the case, or use nylon pillow stuffing to keep the powder to the rear of the case. I don't know what the burnt pillow stuffing will...

I have found that using the kinetic bullet puller, you will tap several times with out the bullet moving at all, so you tap a few times more a little harder, still nothing. Try a few times a little harder, then the bullet comes completely out on some of the rounds. I think you will find it...

I have made reduced loads for my daughters 243. I got the load data from Guns & Ammo. It was far below any listed load data that I had available. It required a small amount of Nylon pillow stuffing to keep the powder against the primer to prevent pressure spikes. Here is a link to my page...

If you really want to get a longer OAL, I would pull the bullet and resize the case. The reason is because you will loose neck tension. When you put the new bullet in, it may be loose and fall in the case (worse case) or just have inconsistent tension and cause a loss in accuracy. You can...

223 brass with crushed or split necks are perfect for converting to 7.62x25. I try to use every thing I can, and I like the challenge. :)
