Well, I never thought this would happen. The drive hub for my shell plate on my lock n load just snapped off on the down stroke. Hopefully Hornady customer service will be as helpful now as they have in the past!

I recently bought 1k Remington 6 1/2 primers for $7 and decided to load them in an relatively light .223 bolt action load. This is the result to those primers. I know they are not “supposed” to be loaded for the 223 but my question is how bad is this type of pressure sign on the rifle bolt...

just curious if anyone would mind sharing their accuracy load for this combination of powder and bullet. I have solid data on ramshot tac but I have a very limited supply of it and would like to save the half pound I have. I have about 7 pounds of CFE. Thanks for the help!

I know this rifle is not in the best of shape and much has been altered. The original owner cut this barrel to a super short 16.6 inches. Makes it loud and take away from the originality a lot. Other than that the rifler is a mutt with all different serial numbers. That being said what might the...

So i have started to entertain the thought of reloading my own shells. I think it would be nice to find a load for my O/U that wot beat me to death after 100-150 rounds fired. My major question is how do you identify the type of hulls you have. I have been saving my hulls from rounds i have shot...

I recently purchased a Lone wolf extended barrel for my glock 17. The barrel has 2 vertical ports and i'm getting some shaving when the bullet goes through the 2 comp ports. Accuracy has dropped a good bit as i am not stacking rounds at the 1 and 15 yard line like i did with the factory barrel...

I am looking for some pros and cons from folks who have shot both of these guns. I have shot the P320 but not the H&K. I will be buying one or the other but cannot decide right now. Any thoughts??

This is my first shot at adding some color to my Glock 19. What do you all think? Any tips for making it look a little better?

Anyone currently loading for this cartridge? I just found out about this little zippy .22 and would like to get one but only if I can reload it myself. I have found the Hornady dies, 40gr bullets, and Brass but no luck on any published data. Any help would be nice before I buy a firearm. Thanks!

I have heard that there is a way to calculate the burn rate to compare the similarities of two powders. Does anyone know how to do this?

Anyone here have one of these little guns? They look pretty cool for a conversation piece at the range. http://www.zipfactory.com/pdf/HelloZIP.pdf

I have looked over my Lyman, and Hornady manual as well as he Hodgdon site but cannot find anything on 124gr RN with Longshot. Anyone use this combo, if so what is your recipe?

This guy on youtube has actually made his own primers. The numbers he is reporting is pretty close to that of CCI. Here is the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_415164123&feature=iv&src_vid=qXnwuNegPaY&v=InnFDDdtXP4

I finally got my 500 free bullets from Hornady and now I'm looking for a solid IDPA recipe using either longshot, WST, or WSF powder. I see that on the Hodgdon website there is a load for 115JHPs using WSF but the OAL will not pass a plunk test in my XDm 5.25. I thought about running a few at...

I have loaded some test rounds and I'm having some feeding issues. My recipe is 6.9 of WSF with the 185s seated at a OAL of 1.155-1.165. I have tried them in 2 different 1911s and they both fail to feed properly and the slides run the rounds into the top of the chamber. I'm thinking of running...

I just stumbled across this documentary on youtube. Im not sure how I feel about taking the skill of long range shooting out of the equation but it is a pretty cool platform that could change the sniper spotter team dynamic on the battlefield. Here is the link to the documentary...

I would like to load 147grn Berrys plated rounds over longshot powder but hodgdons website only lists specs for 147grn Hornady XTPs. Is it safe to follow that data with a plated bullet?

I am looking to upgrade my IDPA gun from a standard XD9 and I'm looking for opinions on weather or not its worth it to go ahead and make the leap to the 5.25 competition model. I have looked at some reviews but I want to hear what you all have to say. Thanks!

Im looking to get into smelting and making my own lead bullets for 9mm. First things first before I get too excited... Are there any problems with running lead bullets through my XD9SC? Next, is it really worth the investment to buy up all the stuff to make the leads...What are the pros and...

So I decided that it had been a while since I made my wife something and decided to remedy that. I made her a set of earrings from a couple 9mm brass I had lying around. Just wanted to show them off... I'm rather proud of them! If any of you guys would like some shoot me a PM and ill see what we...
