There's hardly any data available for this pistol powder. I was told that it was developed for the 9 mm military ammo. In 9 mm I use this with 5.0 grains of powder. With a 128 grain powder coated cast bullet seated to about 1.148 oal. Works well with multiple pistols. This is a compressed load...

I was Barbary sheep hunting in Southern New Mexico. We heard the sound of some rocks falling. So we just sat still. I was with my wife and daughter. After about 10 minutes of silence we saw them. There was three of them walking on a high ledge. As we were watching them the lead sheep skylined...

About to take the plunge. With some 155 gr. Lee cast bullets. The questions I have are if powder coated do you still use a gas check? If you did use gc' s where did you buy them? If you didn't use gc's what was your experience? I'm going to try to push these at about 1800 to 1900 fps. Using...

Im looking for an economical source for 7.62x39 jacketed bullets. I have seen the extreme bullets but I am leery as some have said they gave great results and others have said they had feeding problems and bullet set back issues. Im interested to know if there's anyplace out there has pulled...

Has anyone ever used ECM77 powder from expansion industries. http://www.expansion-industries.com/. This powder is supposed to be similar H335.

Should the life span of the 416 stainless barrels using standard ammo (not steel cased) be the same as a standard carbon alloy barrel. Been looking at some of the good deals available.

At the range yesterday and its getting to early evening time. Sun is just about set and im getting ready to go home. I start thinking about this guy that was shooting an ak pistol I saw earlier. It being full daylight I was able to see an enormous fireball of a flash and very loud report. So I...

Went to a couple of LGS's today and I saw a few Kel tec pistols in 9mm for as low as $219. While I'm not too serious about buying one they did have a certain appeal to them mainly being the price. Is there anyone out there who has had any bad experiences with them. I know there is a thread going...

I stopped in last Friday to one of my favorite places to buy reloading supplies, ammo and other interesting goodies and filled out the paper work on a new S&W M&P 45 full size and after 5 minutes they told me that my backround check was on delay status . I went to the same place last year and...

How common is gas blow by on steel cartridges? I was talking to a guy and he mentioned this happening. In regards to this happening me. I think it caused my chamber on a mini 14 to get dirty causing a film of carbon buildup and then making my rifle fail to extract. He also said loading a brass...

Hello All, I'm going to attempt to make case gauge for the .25 auto. Does anybody know where find dimensions for one? Andres.

Hello all, Was at the range today with my Wife we were shooting her Sig P6 pistol and she was wearing some kind of short pants and while we were shooting it seems like a particle of burning powder fell on her shin and burned her. I always wear pants so if its happening to me I don't notice...

I sometimes find unfired shotgun rounds at the range, and not being one for waste I pick them up and save them in a bucket. With the birdshot loads I was thinking of adding them to the lead that I melt from used jacketed bullets to increase the hardness of the alloy. I was just wondering if any...

I have some imr 4350 that Im planning to start loading in .223 with 55 grain jacketed bullets. I have used this powder in loading for 30-06 with decent results. I was wondering if anybody out there has any experience with this load combination. It will be fodder for my mini 14.

I found Recluse's recipe for tumble lube. But where the heck does one find JPW?

Have had both. Just looking for opinions. I like the piece and quiet a sonic offers but it seems that the outside of tumbled brass is cleaner even with used media.

I have been thinking of starting a reloading business from home but unsure of all the requirements and potential profit. I know you have to get a ffl and county blessing, and liability insurance. Is it worth it? Do a lot of people buy reloaded ammo?
