    Pierced Primer; a powder kiss on the cheek

    Thank you! No harshness taken or I would have never posted this. The Sierra manual was followed exactly from initial load to max dose. I appreciate the input! I never exceed book listings but in this case I am guessing I advanced the rate of increase too quickly, I never split the last...

    Pierced Primer; a powder kiss on the cheek

    [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Testing some loads for increased velocity and accuracy in a Remington .223 BDL. The first load of 25.8 grains H335 behind a Sierra 60 gr HP. 2- five shot groups measures .587 and 0.857 respectively. No obvious signs of pressure. Next group was 27.1 grains H335...

    Case lubing

    I spread all rounds to be sized on a cookie sheet and then give them 2 sprays of Frankford Arsenal case lube. This lube is water based and doesn't tend to accumulate easily. Orient the case mouths in one direction if you prefer the inside being exposed to lubrication. I tumble most rounds...

    Tumbler Scum

    RC, When I heard from you I knew I would have an answer and I knew the I should have known the answer myself (no disrespect to other posters). The Scum felt greasy and felt just like the first time treated media. The directions said treat the media with 3 or four cap fulls so of course I...

    Tumbler Scum

    Does anybody know what this tough film is in my tumbler?? I usually get some degree of it after tumbling fired brass. Cleans up with simple green after a 10 minute soak and some elbow grease. Black part is waxy somewhat. Tumbled 250 cases in .caliber .38 for 24 hours. Brass primed and...

    Special request, Lightest .38 load

    I have heard nothing but good about those bullets and the company itself. Post-holiday financial situation has limited me buying any new bullets yet. Honestly I can't lie to my wife when she as, "have you tried what you have first." She kind of has a point (reluctant agreement). Have plenty...

    Special request, Lightest .38 load

    Fred, Thanks! I long ago ruled out adding anymore lead, especially in the confined space I load in. I still have your bullets on display as well as the Pig Sticker, nice addition to my 5 foot tall mancave.

    Special request, Lightest .38 load

    Simple request. My 56 year old 4'8" 95 pound wife is willing to start some target shooting at an indoor range. Given her size and likely sensitivity to recoil I want to proceed gently. A friend wisely suggested a S&W .22 revolver but this soon after Christmas is a no go. What I have is...

    Can anybody identify these bullets please??

    Bought a couple of thousand from Midway's Blemished bullet sale 5 or 6 years ago. I am having a problem identifying the make and use of these particular bullets. I believe the red tipped bullet is is a Hornady SST. The other two I have labeled as yellow but to have a slight pale green hue to...

    Stick powders and rotary dispensers

    I feel your pain and frustration. I love Varget for many applications and have a ton of it. I use a Lymann powder dispenser that is accurate to between 0.1 and 0.3 grains, but not when metering Varget. When using this powder at least every 5 rounds need to be returned as the weight exceeds the...

    Loading unsized new brass

    The two rifles were both (GASP) Remington 700, one model an LTR I just got and the other a bull barrel BDL from the 1980s. Both were stock triggers just lightened up. All targets were at 100 yards. Great point about just neck sizing, I never considered it as it was an accuracy issue to me...
