    Powley computer and estimating loaded cartridge pressure

    So I was playing with http://kwk.us/powley.html <--- this and unfortunately it looks as if the data is only useful for rifles. Is there another tool that anyone knows of to estimate pressure for pistol rounds?

    135 gr LRN 9mm using w231

    135 gr LRN 9mm using w231/edit: also wst I'm about to start loading up these for the first time. Can't find any loading data for this combo (135 gr LRN 9mm/w231). I was told 3.5-4.2gr. Does anyone have any published load data they would like to share?

    Why were these reloads so dirty?

    I loaded up some bayou bullets in 9mm in 115 gr, 124 gr, and 147 gr. I went the full range of the min/max loads in the books. The min loads of 3.2 gr w231 on the 147 gr @ 1.133" OAL were downright nasty. The 3.4 gr loads were a bit better. No problems whatsoever with the 115's and 124's. They...

    Deprime & size or tumble first

    As the title says I'm interested to know in what order the majority of you prefer to do this. I could see the benefits of both ways and I've read where people do it in either order. I'm new to reloading so maybe my question seems ignorant. If so please inform me of the best practice for this...

    new to reloading, need advice on tumblers

    Hello all, I'm new to the forum and reloading and was just needing some advice on tumblers. I'll be reloading 9mm, .223 & .308 in low quantities. I need a tumbler that can clean 100-250 casings at a time for a reasonable price. I'm willing to spend more for a better quality product and I have...
