I've got a ton (thousands) of the ss109 pulls that I want to load up as blasting ammo. I know they aren't accurate etc, but for what I paid, I don't care. I am able to push these bullets completely in the case with just my hands! PPU brass, 1x fired by me-purchased new as factory ammo...

Is this stuff worth buying? I recently picked up my first mosin and I need some food for it. I found this stuff on sale for not much more than the corrosive surplus. Is it worth the $30 extra bucks vs. surplus spam cans for 400 rounds?

Just as the title states, can I recover my copper plated bullets and use them as casting material? Looking to get into casting for my 44mag but I don't have a source of lead besides this. Thanks thr

I have been trying to find a load for some 62gr ss109 pulled projectiles. I have tried h335 and h322 without success. Anywhere from 21-24 grains of charge depending on the powder used. These are being fired from a 1 in 8" twist 16" AR. At 25yds, the best 5 shot group I can get is at least...

Is shipping some ss109/m855 projectiles legal to CA? Projectiles only, NOT loaded ammo. I have some for sale on GB and a buyer posed this question. Where can I find a list of places NOT to ship it to, so I can avoid the pokey and guys in black suits? I listed it and now realize I should...

I'm looking for a load using imr4227 and 240gr plated xtreme to be shot from a marlin 1894. Bbl is 20" if I remember right. I don't have a chrono so I'm looking to keep it around 1200 fps or so to keep the plated pills intact. Anyone have load data or run this thru quick load to see...

As a new ar owner, it didn't take long for me to want a better trigger. Exactly 1 range trip to be precise. Explain to a noob the differences in triggers. Example: single vs dual stage drop in vs regular ( can a noob install one?) I'm looking for a good value but also good...

I've been reloading for pistols for about 2 years now. I recently got my first AR and now I need to get my rifle loading equipment gathered. I'm looking for a list of items that I need for Santa. First I will give a list of what I already have. Currently own: Lee classic turret and 223 dies...

I will keep this short. Lets not start brand bashing etc. I am buying my 1st AR this week. I was originally going to wait for PSA black Friday, basically trying to keep the budget around $5-600. Then I found this: http://troydefense.com/portfolio/troy-bravo-rifles/ I probably...

I'm on a phone so please excuse abbreviation. Went to range and shot some 44mag deer loads. 240Xtp with 4227 and they were perfect. For fun I got out some 240 extreme with 7.5 unique. Actually shot as good as the xtp. 10 shots in 1 ragged hole. Poi was only 1 inch different than the xtps...

Am I crazy for this? I'm looking for a new rifle for elk and whitetail (if my state approves rifles for deer). I have been reloading pistol calibers for 2 years now or so. It seems that finding the components is as hard or harder than the actual reloading so Im looking to factor that into...

Hi all, I have been working up a load for my lever gun and need some help. Its a real JM marlin if that makes any difference. I loaded up some new starline brass with 22 (min charge), 23, and 24 grains of 4227 with horn. 240gr xtp and federal mag primers. Heavy crimp. Max is something...

I am trying to get a load developed for my Ruger SRH using Barnes xpb 225gr 44mag projectiles and IMR 4227 powder. (Whitetail round) Heres my issue: The minimum charge per barnes manual is 19gr. I cannot get that into the case without having to SERIOUSLY compress the powder in order to seat...

After a 3 month search, I finally have a conformation # on some magnum pistol powder! Today, I found 8lbs of IMR 4227 and will be loading this for a marlin 1894 44mag (Horn. xtp due to twist rate and large bore) and a Ruger SRH 44mag (barnes xpb) Basically, I have read conflicting reports...

Anyone have any recommendations on a holster for a SRH 7.5" with a scope? I would prefer something that covers the scope also, not just the weapon. I need something to get it in and out of the deer woods while carrying a treestand. Thanks!

With the shortages we all know about, I have started buying up powder that I don't need yet. I recently got 4lbs of 700x. I also started thinking about what I currently use. I've only been reloading for about a year now so be easy one me here. I've been using unique in my 9, 40, and 44mag...

I couldnt find a holster for my G23 w/ rail mounted light so I made one. It's just my nightstand piece so I didn't want to spend big $ on a holster just to sit in the nightstand. I had an old Uncle mikes Nylon OWB w/ thumb break for the 23 laying around so it was the unlucky candidate for...

I've have a g23 with around 1200-1500 rounds thru it. It had a 4lb striker spring installed years ago. Always went bang when it should have. I recently started reloading and have noticed I'm getting light primer strikes in about 3 to 5% of my reloads. Hit the same round again, and still no bang...

Hi all. First post. I recently got into the reloading thing for the obvious reason of ammo availability. I have read tons here in addition to the abcs of reloading and some other stuff. I sucessfully loaded some .40 rounds (plinking) and Im now hooked. The accuracy of making your own is great...
