While shooting sporting clays today, I had a hard recoil with a louder than normal report. The base tore loose from the shell leaving an empty sleeve in plastic in the barrel. The base was severely deformed and rounded around the edges (will include pics later). It also knocked the charging...

Anyone have suggestions for lube/grease on an RCBS Grand shell plate? Does it matter if they are silicone or petroleum based?

Being fairly new to reloading, I found this article very helpful in shedding some light on this vague term that seems to be subject to many definitions. I especially appreciated the explanation in the context of various disciplines (eg long range/short range hunting, target riflery, shotgunning)...

I started reloading shotgun shells in June. Just passed 1500 and the Grand is running well. I have my sporting clays recipe down. I may still experiment with components but definitely feel like I have the process mastered. Also fired my first metallics today. 130 gr Speer .270 Spitzers on...

Attempting to find correct depth for Remington 760 Gamemaster (slide action) in .270. Accidentally pushed too hard on the slide and it is now stuck solidly in the forward position. I'm guessing I've firmly planted the bullet in the lands. Any suggestions for how to get the action unstuck...

Started reloading shotshells this summer and am currently working on first batch of metallics in .270 Win. I just finished reading Chap 5 of the ABCs of Reloading and have a 2 part question: 1. Red dot has been working OK for shotshells but I am noticing some inconsistent drops out of the...

I'm interested in firing my original M1884 trapdoor Springfield. I plan to have it looked over by a smith first. I have some original brass and one box of original black powder ammo. Recently found http://www.starsandstripesammo.com/index2.html who will make 45-70 Government to trapdoor...

Hi all - finally getting off my duff and resurrecting some of my dad's old equipment to try and get started on my reloading journey. I've mounted the RCBS Jr. and Uniflow powder measure. These weren't stored terribly but poorly enough that rust has crept in. For the press - anyone have...

Recipe calls for 18.5 gr of red dot. RCBS chart shows 468 for 18 grs and 480 for 19 grs. Following directions, I get to 474 for 18.5 grs. The 474 is consistently dropping 19.6 to 20.2. I'm using a Grand reloader for 12 ga. Should there be any reason for this? Are those charts not always...

Having a tough time getting camera to focus on my problem...will try to describe. Noticed the other day while shooting clays that the inner facing rim on the bottom side of the ejection port looked a little out of whack. Upon closer inspection, the rearward portion of what appears to be the...

Hi all, new to the site and new to reloading. Have been spending a lot of time reading through the threads (what I understand at this point, anyway) and wanted to thank everybody for their willingness to share their knowledge and experience. My father did all his reloading before I was old...

Have a Remington Mohawk 48 in 20 ga and love it. Problem is it came with a permanent full choke barrel. I'm looking for a replacement barrel with a wider pattern - skeet or imp cyl. Anybody know where I can find one? If not, looking for advice on installing tubes...would it be worth it given...
