    Making 45acp Cases from Starline 45 Win Mag

    I have trimmed 9x19 mm to load for 9x18 Mak. Not because I'm poor but because I'm cheap, and the brass was in hand. I was short of 44 spl cases so I trimmed down 50 ct of 44 mag. I will say all of this was a pita.

    Light Load of Accurate No. 9?

    Here is my story with Accurate #9. I followed X reloading data for #9 in .357 mag. with 158gr jhp with standard primers the charge was around 12.2gr which gave poor accuracy stuck cases and cratered primers. I then tried Accurate's data for the same jhp bullet weight and primer. 13.6-13.8gr gave...

    44 special

    I have tried 700-x for 44 spl but it did not meter well for me, but it did shoot well. Am I being to fussy about flake powders metering poorly?

    44 special

    My thoughts on the Rossi 720 is that is in the mass equal to a S&W K frame, where as a S&W 696 is a L frame. If I were reloading for a 720 I would stay with in load data for a Charter Arms revolver. JMO

    BE-86

    I've been happy with Be-86 in 9x19, seems like a good replacement for Unique.

    44 special

    For a S&W 696 I mostly load 200-215gr lead, coated and jacketed. For mild target loads I use W-231, for warmer loads I use WSF. I tried Unique but didn't care for it.

    24" Barrel in 44 Mag Lever Action?

    I would prefer one in the 18" ish range, I think handiness out ways sight radius here. As for velocity 18"ish is about optimum. Just my 2 cents.

    Barrel tuning question

    I can see how barrel harmonics effect POI, but what is the best way to control and manipulate these vibrations and which is most effective and repeatable? Is it a tuner brake or a chunk of rubber? I don't know but I have a feeling I'm about to find out, I will start with the rubber and go from...

    Barrel tuning question

    My Howa 308 Win shoots 3/4 MOA with 150gr Nosler BT with Varget powder, if I could shrink that to 1/2 MOA it would be worth the effort.

    Barrel tuning question

    I have this AR in 223/5.56 that I will scope, I'm thinking of a compensator of some sort will keep the impact in the field of view at higher magnifications.

    Barrel tuning question

    Can a muzzle brake or compensator be rotated to act as a barrel tuner?

    Barrel tuning question

    Thanks for the input. I have always tuned the load to the rifle, but with variations in temperature it makes sense to be able to tune the rifle to the load. I have a Marlin bolt action in 22 mag. I will try with the LimbSaver. I have some center fire rifles that are threaded and could use a...

    Barrel tuning question

    Again I am ignorant, I am weary of snake oil. I do not want mean to sound condescending but I am just trying to figure this out. I have followed Eric for some time now on YouTube and I have enjoyed his input but...

    Barrel tuning question

    I am mostly ignorant on this topic and would like to learn more. I'm guessing tuning a barrel is a way to control barrel vibrations. As a reloader I achieve this with my reloads, but temperature is my enemy. So tuning the barrel to a load seems to make sense, what is the best way to achieve this?
