your probably thinking what the heck??? but in all seriousness i just got attacked by a swarm of yellow jackets living in a pile of matress's. i originally piled them up to burn them and decided to do the environmentally responsible thing and take them to the landfill. while loading my...

PLEASE LIMIT THIS TO FIRST HAND ACCOUNTS!!!! as a long time gun owner, but fairly recently interested in AOW and SBR type stuff, i am curious if anyone has seen prosecution of errant builds. i am not refering to the nidgit walking around the gun show clearly carrying around an SBR and being...

shillen 26" 1-9 twist, got some 80gr hornady's and was thinking of sending them down range in it. not much load data out there. my on hand powders are re-15,17,22,25, varget, 4831, h380, 4195....

i/e if i am using their bullets do they offer the info on-line or do they want us to buy their book, i'd be kinda nice to see what they say to load for col and stuff w/ some of there a-max v-max stuff, but i really don't feel i need another reloading book just yet...

ok i was trying to use fire formed 223 brass and got very inconsistant neck tensions on the bullets, from not enough tension to hold the bullet to very snug, i thought the crimp die would even everything up, but the groups all shot nice beautiful verticle strings, i am contributing this to the...

i ran into something i wasn't expecting today, i was trying to seat hornady 75gr hpbt's on 25.3gr of powder and my dillon seating die was denting the bullet jacket where it was pushing it in. i was seating to mag length so i was probably compressing quite a bit. the dent appeared a good .2...

i went to reload some form fired brass and a few did not want to slide on the shell plate, i am assuming that it is an over-pressure sign and i pushed the load to far. i loaded quite a few combo's in a hunt for that magic load, my max powder was 46gr. i was using benchmark and varget w/ 155...

i am certain i am not the first to encounter this, i am having to seat my bullets real deep to get them to fit the ar-15 mag, my first thought was maybe not all mags are the same, i/e some might have a little more room in them, maybe some one out there will know. i am attempting to load hornady...

the reason i ask is a got a box of sierra's that has a box that is old enough that it is held together w/ metal corner bead and the 30 cal hollow point bullets look crimped at the tip. didn't know if i should load them for blasting ammo or trade them off for something i can use.

explanation: i had one oddball box of remanufactured ammo w/ 150gr nosler ballistic tips, i pulled a bullet and it had 46gr of a powder that looks the same as varget, that box of 20 shot better than anything else my gun has ever seen, i tried to duplicate the load w/ varget and 155gr amax, but...

you shovel a foot of snow off your shooting bench to test out your newest loads? well, that is what i did today, i had spent a few nights this week putting together loads for a troublesome 308. i was wanting to go w/ heavy bullets so i could shoot beyond 500 yds and could not get anything to...

hi all, i asked before on about a mystery gun i have, i bought a rebarreled savage in .223 24" heavy barrel w/ no markings, the warm weather gave me the itch to go outside and play yesterday. i loaded up 25gr of varget behind hornady 52gr hpbt match bullet and got some respectable groups. 1...

5.56 03 AD, the first two are fairly obvious,(caliber and date) but don't know who or what "AD" is... i have been depriming and swaging allot lately i have allot of interesting headstamps, some i know, some i think i know, some i don't. the reason i am curious on this one is i have allot...

for much the same reason that i don't store my guns in the basement, i don't load either. i see allot of guys w/ there benches in the basement, i don't have any noticable moisture issue's but chose not to store powder/primers down there either, just in case, can anyone speak up yes or no on...

hi all, over the summer i bought several rifle from a coyote hunter, stuff he had bought/built, then moved on to something different, i have found that every gun i have recieved from him was something unique or special, it was just figuring out how he had it built. this gun that i just...

as i continue to learn about reloading i am constantly coming up w/ more questions, it is time to start buying powder for various calibers, i have worked through building up some loads w/ a veteran reloader for my 300rum, we experimented w/ imr 7828 and ended up using reloader 25. be he told...

this will be a long post, but i think it is worth reading as i can't believe it is happening right now here today. a good friend of mine was recently recruited by our state for a job. he is a mechanic, i/e this is not a national security issue or anything. anyway, when originally...

as a new dilon 550 owner, i have begun a long learning curve, my question starts w/ primers/ i see at least 4 distinct types, large/small pistol, large/small rifle, and then is there magnum ones too or are they just large rifle. then i only see two size tubes for the dillon, do pistol/rifle...

the local newspaper showed a charity auction that had two AR-15's, an sks, 870 remington, 38 taurus, etc. i already donated a converted saiga, and will probably put whatever guns that don't sell from my other post, which will probably by the 12 guage pump, i have had no interest in it. to...

basically want to know if the wolf stuff that i picked up off the range should get thrown in the trash or saved for reloading.(.223)
