    X-Treme 9mm 115 HP journey

    I am trying to find a W231 load for my Ruger P95DC and X-Treme 115 HP plated bullets. I have loaded 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, & 4.6 at 1.050 OAL, mixed brass & CCI 500 primers. 4.2 & 4.3 make it a single shot. Using a rest, targets for 4.4, 4.5, & 4.6 look a lot like I used a shotgun. I used...

    SR45 jam

    I loaded a few rounds of 45 ACP today: LEE TL452-230-TC over 5.0 grains of W-231, OAL 1.205, CCI LPP & Mixed fired brass. The fifth round did not go fully into battery and now the slide will not eject the round. There is nothing in the barrel and the gong rang four times. I think this...

    For new reloaders in need of Orientation

    I am preparing to teach my adult son and daughter to reload, and I thought I would share a document I wrote that describes my current pistol reloading process. It combines a visual flow chart with concise text visually paired to the process steps. It is for visual learners :) Knowing nothing...

    For those who still doubt that HP-38 = Win 231 ...

    Black label can = Win 231 White label can = HP-38 Both one pound cans were filled on March 07, 2016 Both have the same batch number - 2448 The clincher... both have the same defect in the second '0' in the date I'd say that these two cans of powder absolutely were filled on the...

    YouTube Preference Poll

    Please vote. I don't mean to be divisive in asking this question. Most poll questions seem to want to lead you into a response. To be clear, I am simply trying to understand the large differences between the number of thread views and the number of YouTube views. It makes it look like a lot...

    My new LEE Auto Bench Primer

    I finally gave in to the "off-press priming movement" sweeping the forum. I have removed the priming attachments from my LNL after using the LEE bench primer one time. It's like butter, and I don't see going back to press priming, even if I decide against the LEE for some unforeseen reasons...

    Harbor Freight Tumbler PVC Drum 9mm Load Test report

    I can now report that the 4" PVC homemade replacement drum I made can hold a load of 475 9mm cases, and still clean well too. I set the max load by weight, and 4 lbs is the magic number. I don't know what the number or weight of 45 ACP or 38 Special cases I can fit in will be, because I have to...

    Wet Tumbler Agitation Revealed

    I made a modified drum for a 6 pound harbor freight rock tumbler out of 4" PVC pipe. It's nothing special, but I made the end cap of clear plastic so I could see the agitation. I thought you might be interested so I posted a slow-motion video. No talking, no music, no personality :-) just the...

    ProChrono vs. Cauldwell DATA

    I tested these two units today, and I am posting the results here. This was not scientific or rigorous in method. Just a few 22's over the end-to-end units. I don't know for sure what the ammunition was, I just used what was in the magazines. Could even be mixed. I did remove these from the...

    RCBS Trim Die

    I run my brass through my LNL-AP to de-prime before cleaning. I am interested in putting a trim die in station 4 to check for long cases at the same time. I'm talking about the case-hardened die that you use with a file to trim the case flush with the top of the die. Are these satisfactory...

    What, me Uniform?

    These pictures show why I like to uniform primer pockets. (See updated picture in post #9) In the row of 5 cases, the first three cases have stock primer pockets, and the last two (on the right) have been uniformed. My high primer problems have vanished, and I now have no issues priming on my...

    Hornady Bullet Feeder Die

    Hornady Bullet Feeder Die Lately it seems the craze is to use a Hornady bullet feeder die without the expensive motorized bullet feeder assembly. I have drenched my hands in gasoline every day for thirty years, and my fingers work about as well as you might expect. As a result I look for any...

    Is anyone using ProChrono Digital PC Remote software?

    I am thinking about buying the $50 ProChrono Digital PC Remote software. My searches of the archives make me think nobody uses this accessory program (or they don’t post about it). I don’t intend to use it as a range display since I shoot in the backyard and I don’t have any problem calling a...
