    Ammo at lgs

    Just like last time prices will stay a bit higher than we like or will pay for on a regular basis, a year or two of having plenty of ammo on the shelves and not much moving then we will see all these ''Sales'' on ammo putting prices right back to normal prices. I see this now with online...

    moving a Safe alone?

    Low profile jack should be able to fit right under it with a cut piece of 1x6 to help keep the jack from maring the underside. I moved my Hells Canyon safe this way and it worked perfectly. Second time I moved the safe to the new house I used the same jack in the center holding most of the...

    My first Nutria hunt

    Always an excellent day out on the water. Hunting Nutria is fun for sure and they are good table fare, good meat much like rabbit.

    Bad time to get back into reloading...

    Welcome and Nice bench by the way. I think it will take a good six months maybe more before we start seeing components back in stock regularly. Just hope the prices of todays insanity will not hike the normal prices in the future.

    RIP rcmodel

    Its been a long minute for sure since I have been on this forum and is shocking news to have seen this thread. My start and guide to reloading was this forum and RCmodel was a guiding light for me as well. We even shipped one another brass that we could not use or had come across just to keep up...

    picking up reloaded brass

    Agree with the double charge, most of the 9mm , 45, and 357 brass I load gets used until it cracks or the primer pockets get loose. But to answer your question, I wouldn't personally pick up brass from a match where most of the competition are rolling their own, if they are leaving it on the...

    need 800x info

    I have worked up loads with 800x for that same 9mm (4.5 xdm ) and a few others. 115 grain rn plated to 147 gr fmj. Metering is a downfall of this powder but I like the cleanliness and accuracy it provides. I find that much like long shot 800x tends to give better performance at mid to just...

    Hornady lnl classic single stage press?

    Use the search here for threads about this subject. Yes the dies would need to be adjusted. Some folks have used shims in the single stage to raise the bushing so no adjustment needed. Happy reading.

    Torn Out Primers When De-Capping

    Try soaking the cases in diesel fuel, its thin enough to penetrate or transmission fluid, may have to soak for several days. Worth a shot if you still have some you have not de capped yet and suspect them of corrosion in the pockets

    Tare Weight

    Probably not much help, I know the one pounders tare at 1015 to 1020 gr Hopefully some one has an empty 4 lb to weigh for you. Did you google it :D Why not a large zip loc bag then you can cut the corner and funnel it back into the jug Correction had to be made on the weight, I posted it in...

    Tare Weight

    Not only will the plastic jug vary, so will the amount of powder in each can ! The method for weights at most all manufactures utilizes a hopper/ scale that is digital and drops the product when weight is reached. There is a range of high and low programmed into the machine by the operator and...

    Loading for different guns

    If his weapon is older or may be suspected to have an issue I would definitely work up a load starting low and work up to find the sweet spot with it. Also assuming that your ammo will function and feed in his pistol. Hope this helps. The ar I wouldn't worry about unless one has tighter...

    Loading for different guns

    I load 9mm and 223/556 for ar platforms as well. I use the same ammo in a few different name brand weapons. Even close friends that trust me and my quality control enjoy the ammo I produce for said rounds. I have not seen any difference in my rounds in any gun that is modern or in good working...

    Lee Autodisk, Nosler bullets, Longshot powder, and accuracy advice?

    I agree with archangel, nothing wrong with throwing charges and weighing them up to experiment, then return the powder to the container

    Resizing 308 brass

    Seating the bullet to the cannulure is the place to be. Load data from a like bullet will usually have a different oal. If they are short projectiles, then sure your oal will be shorter than data suggest. If you are unsure, measure the bullets and post back, I will compare them to the many...

    Resizing 308 brass

    Flat base soft point 150 grain I believe would be it. As for the load data, you should be able to get that from IMR web site data. If not the exact bullet is listed due to brand, I would just match it to data with a similar 150 grain bullet for data and use start charge and work up in small...

    IMR 800-X for handgun reloads

    Ived used it in 9mm with 124 gr fmj, clean burning and excellent accuracy. Also worked up some 357 loads with good results for plinking. Had to weigh all charges by hand, still like cornflakes :D (800x)
