I now have many of my dies now setup for the various calibers I have. The resizing and flaring dies were a piece of cake to setup. The seating die took a few tries of trial and error to get to the right depth and OAL. So my question is now lets assume I switch my .45 die from round nose...

Ok, as I said....lawyers and their improbable odds. We have been dispensing gasoline into our cars for what 80 years? This "static" has never been an issue until the last 5-10 years. I bet most have happened in extremely dry conditions, or something in the environment was just right to make...

Once again I suspect it is a way for shipping companies (and their lawyers) to make money by creating a solution to a problem that does not exists. It is kind of like at the gas pumps where it says to touch metal to discharge static before fueling.....like anyone has ever blown up a gas...

Yea!!!....another who thinks like me. The whole FBI 9mm to .40SW seems like someone finding a solution to a problem which did not really exist, which was actually the 10mm. Oh but lets make it a shorter 10mm. I'm sure the ammo makers would love to get them all to switch to another caliber...

Hence the sentence "I'm going to start at Hornadys specs"

If you look at Alliant's online resource, all they practically use is Speer bullets. I know their print data is different, but online it sure seems Speer is their "favorite". http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/RecipeList.aspx?gtypeid=1 I think Lee's manual is the most vague. The Lee...

I was the OP on the above mentioned post. Similar question. What I took away from it was: Different bullets from different manufacturers. They have different diameters and therefore different reactions to surface pressure in being pushed, different metallurgical composition, different...

I've been shooting all my .44 test loads out of my Ruger Super RedHawk first. I am fairly confident I could shoot an elephant out of the cylinder and the gun would be fine. :)

Wow, so basically like a muzzle loader I could pack in a paper napkin and seat the bullet. That would give me a different result than a regular round? Interesting......so much science to start experimenting with.

Looking at .44 special there are a lot of lead 50 round boxes for $35+and a few up in the $40+ range. I can get a 100 round box of Hornady JHP bullets for about $25. Seems a lot cheaper to do it myself.

On a second question I pulled a few of my dads 44mag loads apart with a bullet puller and they had a polyester fiberfill in the case. There was a bag of fiberfill in with his reloading stuff. Why the fiberfill. Is it actually a good practice, or was this a old myth or something? Thanks you...

Yep clear as mud, but I think some of the dirt is settling. I agree on the different lawyers...sheesh....they are annoying.

So a thousand of an inch in diameter and fraction in Ballistic Coefficient can account for that much difference in performance/pressure/velocity?

The book is a compendium of various load data. The cover of the book is the first image. http://www.amazon.com/The-Complete-Reloading-Manual-Special/dp/B000WZCIF8 Over pressure would bend, ripple the cases or push the primer backwards? I ran some 6.3g of Unique on 180G Hornadys and they all...

My father passed away last year and I inherited his reloading equipment. I'm looking to get into loading .44 special for the Taurus 445ti he had. Looking at this book below for loading 180G Hornady it recommends 6.1-6.6g of Unique. Loading for 180G Sierra it recommends 6.9-8.8g of Unique. Why...
