    Trouble with 9mm 124 grain round nose

    I recently bought some 124gr round nose, hi-tek coated from Gateway Bullets. These are 356 diameter (verified) 124gr RN BB without lube grooves. The problem is, I have to seat them quite deeply in order for them to chamber. All the other 124 and 125 grain, both lead and coated, I seat to...

    New powder from xtreme bullets?

    So I just saw a you tube video on xtreme bullets channel. They introduced powder and primers at SHOT show this year. Powder available second quarter. Obviously there's not much info around but I just wonder if it's Maxaam powder. The csb1 and csb5 and what have you. I think I read Maxaam was in...

    Any experience with the Sierra 230 gr JHP?

    I splurged a bit an bought some Sierra 230 gr JHP for my acp. First impressions leave me, well...impressed. Really deep cavity and bullet to bullet consistency seems to be really good. I loaded some of the Sierra's accuracy load but have not been able to try them out as yet. Anyone else have...

    Load data accuracy loads vs actual results

    I'm looking to develop an accuracy load for my Winchester model 670, chambered in 30-06 caliber. I'm perusing several load books and as we know, most of those list a load they found to be most accurate. Now, I realize actual results often times differ from published data where speed is...

    Sierra jhp load help please

    I bought a bunch of bullets today for my 1911. Of those, I grabbed a box of 230gr Sierra JHP. The Accurate data lists the 230 grain FMJ so I used that data. The listed COAL is 1.250". However, with that bullet they don't work in any of my magazines. I pulled the 8 that I loaded, dropped...

    Loading for accuracy

    So I've been reloading a few years now. I load for several rifles and several handguns. I love it all but I think the next step in my evolution of hand loading is learning the steps to work up the most accurate load I can. After loading for my 5 rifles and shooting them quite a lot, I've...

    38 special unburned powder...

    So we have an old can of Winchester 571 powder and I looked up an archived edition of the Winchester loading manual. We wanted to find a 38 special +p load to shoot in our Ruger GP100. This old manual shows a charge of 7.7 grains of 571 behind a 158 grain lswc. We loaded several rounds and...

    Range report, 2 loads

    Well I finally got some time to do a little accuracy (or is a better word consistency?) testing with 2 different loads. I would like to say there was a clear winner but, not so much. The 2 loads are first, a 200 grain lswc bayou bullet pushed by 6 grains of bullseye. The second is a 230 grain...

    Favorite 44 Magnum loads

    I broke down and ordered a Ruger Blackhawk in 44 Magnum today with a 5 1/2 inch barrel. I'm heading to the local Graf's retail store next weekend for dies, brass and bullets. I have a jug of Lil Gun I'll be using for full blown Magnum loads but am looking for a milder load as well. If I can...

    45 acp.... Too short?

    I am loading up some 45 acp for my 1911. I'm loading a 185gr lswc being pushed by accurate #2. The book shows a COAL of 1.210 but that length doesn't plunk well in my barrel. The base of the case extends past the barrel hood quite a ways. I need to shorten to a COAL of 1.155 for that to be...

    One more crimp question

    I think K I have decided not to crimp my 30-06 rounds. I shoot them from a bolt gun and my accuracy is great. I have plenty of neck tension and I'm not worried about it. But. What about a lever gun in 30-30? Logic is telling me that crimping is a good idea here to help prevent set back. Or is...

    Separate dies?

    The more I read and learn it is becoming clear to me that, when loading 45 ACP, bullet seating and crimping are better when performed separately. I load on a SS press. My question is. Shod I get a separate die for crimping or just set up my seating and crimping die to perform both operations...

    Any advantage t newer equipment?

    So I'm relatively new to metallic cartridge reloading. I have about a year or so under my belt and load for 3 different pistol and 5 rifle calibers. I don't shoot thousands, or even hundreds of rounds. We do a little recreational shootkng and keep some on hand for hunting and rainy days. We...

    Archived load data

    Does anyone know where to download archived load data for old Winchester powders? I've downloaded them before but I'll be darned if I can find it back.
