I'm thankful, don't get me wrong. But "buy a pre-barreled kit" isn't advice on how to not screw up your virgin barrel. Well, I suppose it is advice on how not to screw up... just not the kind I'm looking for. Second to drilling a circular hole, herein lies my biggest concern. Historically the...

I ain't buyin' a thing from sweaty Ben, and I definitely ain't buyin' an AK from him. Second, if I don't ever try and fail at something, I'm never gonna get good at it. Yeah building one of those kits would be easier, but all the builds me brother and I want to do aren't easy projects.

I would go to AKfiles, but they're a PITA to join... or maybe I'm just too lazy. Dunno about any other AK specific forums worth their salt, though.

Looking for a bit of advice when it comes to AK building; specifically with regards to populating and pinning the barrel. Headspacing a virgin barrel is an easy enough job, but pinning it proved... for lack of a better word, disastrous. So one royally hooped trunnion and 90 dollars later we're...

Which model CZ? My PCR will eat anything I throw at it. Plunks 1.15 all day. 5.9 grains of AA#5 with Berry's 115 plated at 1.15 works to good effect.

Overall goal is to get these Gallant 217's around 2moa using CFEBLK and still being sub sonic, but I'd settle for 4moa. Getting these to cycle is trivial. Goal of this little experiment is get these projectiles going 1000fps with a load density as close to 100% as possible without blowing...

I'm in the process of a weird work up for 300BO right now. I could only find H110 and CFEBLK at my local suppliers, and its just my luck CFEBLK isn't in the QL database. So I'm stuck making assumptions off the closest thing I can, A1680. So that's no bueno. Anywho, first ladder test I did...

Recently picked up Quickload; it's nothing short of magic, it seems. One thing is kinda bothering me, there isn't much of selection of projectiles. I suppose that's not much of an issue because you can enter your own projectile parameters pretty easily. But you can't really adjust how "hard"...

Unless someone else here forms 300blk on their AP, I think I'm pretty convinced the "problems" I've been having are normal. I guess from now on I'll just adjust until contact with a shell in.

Sorry it took so long to get back to y'all. Was too busy royally screwing up an AK trunnion. I have had the sub plate off before, so I guess it's possible I screwed something up putting it back on. Anyways, gave those screws a good lick again to make sure they're tight. Haven't noticed a...

I've only got Unique and One Shot, but both give me similar results. But you got my curiosity piqued, so I picked out a once fired 300blk case and tried sizing it on the AP. Better results than formed cases, but had to be screwed in about 1/3 of a turn to get proper headspace. Really had to...

Here's the thing. The dies I thought were the issue size absolutely fine on a single stage. SOMETHING about this press is giving me issues sizing. The shell plate rides absolutely as close as it can over the sub plate. I don't have a feeler small enough to fit under there. Same with the...

I picked this press up used back in December. Up until recently I've been only loading 9mm on it. During this time I had a heck of a time trying to sort out sizing issues. About half of my cases, regardless of headstamps, would have setback with just finger pressure. This process saw me go...
