    Anyone know anything about this barrel pressure and bullet velocity spreadsheet?

    Ever get curious about something, start an internet search, and wind up somewhere you've never been before? This has been around for a while (Feb 2012), so I have to think someone here has seen it before...

    What to do with 45 Colt blank brass?

    Last weekend I was sorting through my brass to start the tumbling process, and noticed some 45 Colt brass with larger than normal primer holes. Headstamp is Starline Blank. So I either picked it up at the range, or it was some white box ammo from a commercial reloader I picked up years ago at...

    Factory Squib

    First time at the range since late last fall - having a nice time... Pew, Pew,Pew, Pffft ..... Wut? That was odd. Eject the case. Have a sense something's not right - drop the mag - can't really see down the barrel from the breach, but it seems dark, take a peek over the front of the...

    A little off topic ...

    But I think it fits the "spirit" of the forum.... I'll understand if it gets locked or deleted. But in the meantime, enjoy a little humor.

    Any favorite 9mm loads with RMR and Win 231?

    I know there was a recent thread that mentioned RMR's MW bullet, but I'm not seeing it now. I'm probably looking for the wrong thing. I know I could do some serious searching, but I'm being a little lazy, so I'll explain why. It looks like I'm about to introduce 2 guys to the world of...

    How many are reloading from home?

    Or should I say, have a bit more time for reloading? My time is split, so 3-4 hrs saved on commuting, and a bit more time for poking around this forum and running the press. On the flip side, the local indoor range is closed, and it's been windy and cold lately, so unloading is a little slow...

    How much abuse can a primer take before it complains?

    I don't know the answer, but it's much more than I expected. The primer in the attachment pic got caught between the primer transfer bar, and the case feed plate mounting. Normally, it would be obvious. But this one was a little different. It was the last primer in the stack, and for some...

    Redneck Engineering a Lee Bullet Feeder to a Dillon 550

    The why - Started loading 9mm again (I'll do a batch of 1K-2K every so often), and noticed I was getting annoyed handling little RN bullets. It's a bit tedious, and slow. Of course I read the threads on here about bullet feeders and whatnot, but I just can't justify the Dillon solution for 9mm...

    Anyone using the Lee Buldge Buster on 9mm and 380?

    I have some 380 cases that look like they were fired in a very generous chamber. Maybe not an incorrect one, but I was thinking it would be nice to get them back to spec before reloading them. But the real reason is 9mm. I have a tight chamber 9mm, and I'd rather not end up with another out...

    Another Day at the Range, Another Learning Experience...

    A buddy offered to take me to the indoor place he's a member of - they had a member special going, so I was the freebee. On a lark, I decided to take an M&P 45acp that I haven't shot in a year or two. I've had it for a while, but for some reason, I hadn't taken a liking to it (accuracy weighs...

    Found a strange 9mm case

    At least one I've never seen before. Was at the range this morning, collecting my brass like usual (along with a few strays), and this ended up in the pile. It has an internal band in the base that is integral to the case. It measures ~0.351" from the mouth, and mouth to base (along the edge)...

    Hi-Skor Data

    Actually, Dupont data from 1964. I put Hi-Skor in the title to make it easy to find, as I sometimes search for old data. A friend of mine gave me a couple old Handloader's Digests. They are fun to leaf thru. A long time ago I kicked an old can of Hi-Skor to the curb (or maybe 'back of the...

    Shot my Chronograph today...

    ... it survived Decided to get the ProChrono Bluetooth adapter - based on recommendations in this thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=807486&highlight=prochrono Have to admit, it's pretty sweet. A couple things didn't work quite like I expected, but maybe I need to read the...

    Is RMR's website down?

    I get the front page, but all of the links return 404- Not Found. :banghead: Here I sit, wallet in hand, unable to satisfy the urge. Once the wallet goes on the dresser, it could be weeks before the stars line up like this again.....

    Anyone using the ProChrono Digital Bluetooth Adaptor?

    Any thoughts? Looked like it could be pretty handy. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/241552/competition-electronics-digital-link-bluetooth-adaptor-for-prochrono-digital-chronograph

    RCBS Primer Swage Die and Lee CC

    Was just wondering if anyone has any experience using the RCBS Swager on a Lee Classic Cast. I apologize if this has been covered in detail - if so, kindly point me in the right direction. :) I did a quick search and came up blank, but my patience for forum search functions isn't very...

    550 primer slide bearing hack

    Sometime several months back I read a thread on here about a home-made plate to extend the primer slide base plate to make it run smoother. I wish I could recall when and where to give proper credit, but it would take too long to find. Anyway, a couple months back I switched over to...

    Stupid cheap 550 primer catch attachment that might actually work

    Not sure if this is worth posting, but here goes... Last night I was looking at the press thinking I need to load some 10mm (really, anything after a long 6 month hiatus), and it occurred to me I really don't care for the primer catch bin. So I looked around, and before I knew it I had a...

    Can anyone ID this ammo?

    Scored a small tin of ammo at a great price (about what it sold for originally). Looks like 18 boxes of 25 rounds, but I have not unpacked the tin to verify that. Anyway, the reason I want to know is will I be able to reload it? If it's boxer, I'll take it to the range where I won't lose...

    MB Coated Bullets

    :cool: Anyone know how fast they can be driven and maintain the integrity of the coating? I looked on the website faq, but didn't see anything specific about it. I was hoping they could be used in place of heavy plated and jacketed bullets.
