I can't seem to figure out a way to load either of these rounds without getting a bulge at the base of the bullet in the brass. The bulge is large enough to jam up my Beretta 92fs (Which is what I will be loading for). I'm loading using RCBS carbide dies. It happens if I use a crimp or do...

I already have a few books but none of them list this bullet. I was wondering if anyone can help me out with what Speer lists as the OAL and the low and high powder charge with 231, titegroup, and unique. Thanks in advance for any help.

Just wondering if these dies have a taper or roll crimp.

Today I got out and tested some loads. The bullet used was Hornady XTP/HP 230gr. They were seated at 1.21, Hornady states 1.23. I have to seat them that deap for my 1911. I used Winchester 231 powder. The loads that I shot were 5 gr with an average of 751fps, 5.1gr with an average of...

I recently purchased some 77gr Noslers for a rifle that had a 1-7 twist. The problem is that I sold the gun and now don't know what to do with the bullets. I guess my big question is, are these bullets a waste of powder and primers in a 1-9 barrel?

I'm looking to get a semi-auto 308 and have narrowed it down to a Springfield M1A or a Armalite AR-10. What are the perks to either of these rifles. How do they compare in accuracy, reliability, and build quality. I also will be reloading for whichever I end up with so I don't want it beating...

Im obviously left-handed. Do I need to go with a left-handed model or can I adjust to a right handed rifle. The reason I ask is because most of the rifles I am interested in arent made in left-handed. Do any of you lefties out their own a right-handed bolt. Thanks in advance.

I recently started reloading .223 for a 1/7 twist and a 1/9. Right now the only powder I have is BL-C(2) and the projectiles are Hornady 55gr FMJ Nosler 77gr HPBT. I've also been using WSR primers. Does anyone have any good loads to recomend to me with the projectiles? More than willing to...

I've been reloading 45 Auto with 230 GR XTP/HP. I've been loading OAL at 1.23 like the Hornady book says. The rounds feel fine in my Sig 220 and Kimber Custom II, but they feel to long for my Springfield TRP. When extracting a loaded dummy round it takes a lot of force to pull the slide back...

I was wondering if anyone here reloads for the G3 style rifles. I plan on purchasing a PTR rifle and a port buffer. Curious how badly damaged the brass is with the buffer. Are they reloadable?

Just checking to see if anyone purchased through them and what kind of an experiance they had. Thanks.

I recently purchased a Hornady LNL kit and am having some problems with the powder dispenser. I'm trying to reload for the 45 auto. Im trying to get 5 grains of powder. I can't get the depenser to consistantly drop a charge. It varies up to .4 grain. I even tried to measure heavy loads to...

Seeing if any of you have a good load for .230 gr Hornady XTP out of a 1911. The powders I have on hand are Red Dot, Unique, and Titegroup. Are these good enough or do I need to pick something else up?

I recently purchased a Hornady LNL kit and cleaned the powder dispenser as instructed. Now I am getting powder stuck all over the inside and it is throwing charges that are varying by .3 to .4 grains. I have tried three different powders so far, Titegroup, Red Dot, and Unique. Same results...

I have a lot of Lake City 5.56 brass laying around. From my understanding 5.56 operates at a higher pressure than .223. My question is this, am I able to reload the 5.56 cases with a .223 load?

I'm new to this reloading thing so bear with me. I would like to start reloading for 45 auto, 9mm, and 223 rem. I recently purchased a Lymann tumbler and a Hornady Kit. The problem that I am having is getting the brass clean. I bought the Lymann green corncob media. I was having problems...
