I am planning on loading around 50 rounds of 158gr lead SWC bullets in 38spl. The cases are primed with a combination of new and pulled primers, so the loads do not have to be perfect, or even very accurate, but they must be safe. It will purely be used for plinking. An added requirement is that...

I think we all do this sometimes. We buy a new gun just to be able to start reloading a new cartridge. For me it is not just reloading a new cartridge, but also scratching and itch and filling a niche. I have always wanted to reload 380 Auto and needed to fill me pocket carry need. Yesterday...

It has been a while, but finally I was able to test another group of loads with my P365X using the RMR 115gr MPRJHP bullet. My plan is still the same, find an accurate and reliable load, meeting the magical 1,150fps. This is the velocity RMR tested these bullets for expansion. I indicated...

I have not been testing any of my reloads for a while, but today I had time and I caught up with most of my backlog of testing. I tested 30 different loads today, and probably spent about 4 hours outside in the National Forest. What a beautiful day in the North West. The testing results were...

Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I definitely do not have any cleaning tips. This thread is basically to ask for some advice regarding best practices or tips for cleaning reloading dies. There are YouTube videos out there showing basically: Cleaning with Hornady OneShot Cleaning with brake...

I have not cleaned any brass for a while, but yesterday I had to pull out the FART and clean some 9mm brass. After getting ready I realized that I can't remember exactly what I used the last time. I remember I used dishwashing liquid and/or car wash and wax, plus some Lemi Shine, but couldn't...

It has been a while now where I have tried to find a more accurate (smaller grouping) load for my SIG P220. I always try to better my previous best grouping load for a particular gun, but for a while I have not seen any improvement with my P220. It could be the me, gun or load, but I decided to...

I received these lubed 158gr lead SWC bullets and would like to make the best out of it. I don't know how hard/soft these bullets are. The revolver is a Ruger 3" SP101 357mag, but I am planning to just stick with a light loading 38spl load that I can enjoy. The load development plan is to test...

I have started a new reloading project using the above combination. The plan is to find accurate loads out of the P365X using the 115gr RMR MPR bullet. The plan also is to find an accurate and reliable load, meeting the magical 1,150fps. This is the velocity RMR tested these bullets for...

A few weeks ago I bought some seconds bullets from RMR. My plan for these bullets will be loading them using my normal RMR 115gr FMJRN bullet loads data, with quantities of 50+. They will basically be used for my normal shooting, but no load development. That does not mean I am not going to test...

Last week I picked up 1lb of AA#5, a powder I haven't used before. Initially I did not know which cartridge to start with, but looking at the Western Powders reloading guide, made up my mind. Under 9mm they have the RMR 115gr FMJ bullet listed, which is what I have been loading lately. I will...

We have had a heat advisory in the Lewiston Clarkston area until tonight, so I decided to go out to my favorite spot and evaluate my TiteGroup loads for 45ACP. My thinking was that nobody would be out there, and I was correct. I actually created these loads in November 2020, but never made the...

I have been evaluating load with my P365X, especially with the W244 load. During my last test I also included some TiteGroup loads. These loads were only tested at 10 yards, so I still think my W244 load performs better in the accuracy/grouping column. Following are the test results from my...

Tonight I loaded a special 25 load rounds based on the following load that has been tested in my Sig SP2022: 9mm, SP2022, 3.9" Case: WIN COL: 1.125" RMR, 115gr, FMJRN, W244, 4.5gr, FED100M Average: 1068 ES: 11 SD: 5.1 Force: 291 PF: 122 Velocities: 1064, 1063, 1073, 1067, 1074 Grouping @ 15yd...

I haven't been able to get out and test my loads for a while, so today I made some time to test some of my loads. Following are the actual test results, but I will also add some of the actual scanned targets once I had some time to scan the results. A bonus scan will be a test I did at 50 yards...

No, it is not as bad as primers, but I did put an order in in October, and finally today I was able to pick up a 1,000 RMR 115gr FMJ RN bullets. An added bonus today was meeting Joe Durnbaugh, the shipping Manager at RMR. Joe, thanks for always being courteous over the phone, and treating me...

When I go to my local Sportsman's Warehouse I always look for something special I can load. A few months ago they had a sale on the 125gr Speer GDHP. I would have preferred the 135gr bullet, but I never see them in the store. I bought a box of 100 of them at the time. So finally I decided it is...

The THR member must be getting sick of all my posts after this weekend, but I have one final post after my testing. A few weeks ago I received a care package from member Dudedog with some 9mm/357sig RMR 147gr match winner and RMR 124gr MPR bullets. This was obviously a huge surprise to me in...

Lately I have been trying some new powders, and one of them has been Winchester WSF. My initial impression regarding WSF is that it seems like a light shooter, seems a bit smoky, and it is not super accurate. My initial observations could be due to where I started my load workup. It seems that...

A couple of weeks ago our local Sportsman's Warehouse had some Federal Gold Medal Small Pistol Match Primers in stock. I have never tried the match primers, so I bought a brick to try out. I will be testing some of my better performing loads with the match primers to see how they perform...
