    Burn rate

    I bought 12,000 224 tracers from Wideners for a local group buy, now I am working up a load to get them to light off. The idea is to use a "hotter" powder to get them to light off more reliably. My questions are; Does a powder with a faster burn rate correspond to being a hotter powder ...

    Why no conversions of Berdan primed brass?

    I have been reloading berdan cases with large rifle (217dia.) berdan primers for a couple years. The thing to do would be to get someone to import 500,000 or so I am sure they would sell out in a week if marketed correctly. Here is a picture of 10,000 wolf primers ( on top ) and 10,000 berdan...

    Mystery rifle round

    This mystery rifle round was picked up in the dud can at a local range, by my non-internet savvy neighbor. He had already pulled it apart when he showed it to me and had already dumped the powder / gun cotton / cordite ??? I haven't measured anything yet but can if it will help. I will have to...

    chamfering under power

    I would recommend swaging as well but, if your going to use the chamfer method, I would go with this one and buy an adapter at your local hardware store to run it in drill press. It is adjustable as to not remove to much material when being used. I done hundreds of 308 berdan cases with it...

    9mm case failure

    I have had the same type of failure in 9mm brass as in your picture, right at the 6 o clock area, the least supported area of the chamber. I have also had a complete failure that left the brass in the chamber while ejecting the base only. Neither one cause any harm and since I use range brass I...

    REmoving Berdan Primers

    I have re-primed about 3000 7.62x51 cases and some 7.5x55. The RCBS berdan tool works great after it's adjusted correctly. I got lucky and stocked up on primers when I could. I check all know sources at least once a week and haven't seen any for some time now. The process I have seen to...

    Feeling Blue (LOL)

    Decide right away if you want to load standing up or siting down so you can mount the press accordingly. I load standing up, but that's just more comfortable for me, especially doing rifle rounds. When I load I always prep some brass as far as, station 1 and station 2 and set them aside. A...

    Dilon super swager adjustment

    one hundered I sort my brass by headstamp first, then swag, but I am doing a between 500 and a 1000 at a time. If you just have just a few to do at a time, of mixed headstamps, that could work, but there goes the vary reason for owning the super swag.

    Talk me out of it!

    Before I knew better, I would reload rounds for friends, after talking with my insurance agent/friend, never again. If something "bad" should ever happen, it wouldn't be up to my friends to decide how to handle it. It would be up to their insurance company and their lawyers, and they would be...
