Wally, You don't think the roughed up areas will cause a problem, as far as case integrity?

Yes, it's the GI model. So it is something common then? I love the gun, but man, I was hoping to reload for the .45!

Took my new Springfield 1911 A1 out to the range the other day for it's first firing, and I noticed some damage to the casings. (sorry the picture is so big, but I needed detail) The two on the right were in the first string of five that I fired. The two on the left were later on, maybe...

Roger that, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

Hey guys, quick question. I picked up 100 of Speer's discontinued 170gr round nose bullets for my .270, and I'm trying to get some loads. As you can guess, load data is pretty scarce. I'm familiar with the Optimal Charge Weight method, and I'd like to use it, but I'm trying to figure out...

21gr is going to feel like a drop in the bucket compared to my normal .270 loads, but that's the whole point of this load testing--light bullets at 1200fps or so below average .270 muzzle velocity, accurate and light enough to make shooting turkeys and small game fun with my .270. And as I said...

The HAZMAT cost is what's killing these guys. The charge is $22.50, for 1lb, 10lbs, 30lbs, whatever. The way it's supposed to work: Small Business 1 orders 12 1lb cans of Varget. He pays $18.99 a lb, and $22.50 for HAZMAT. Since he bought 12 cans, the HAZMAT charge rounds out to $1.88...

I have to agree with the advocates of spilling more primers to find the original. Lost a CCI LR? Spill some W209 shotgun primers, and I guarantee you'll find the CCI. But not the last W209.

I've been doing some tinkering with low velocity, light weight bullet loads for my .270 Ruger. Jack O'Conner had a light weight load he like to use on turkeys/small game, and that just sounds like fun to me (plus I have 200 110 Sierra bullets lying around). As usual, for information I...

Thanks, I'll definitely get to reading. Also (copied from site): .270 Winchester using H4831 130 grain bullet, 60.0 grains (O'Conner's load) Holy smokes! 7.5gr above what I've been using! Might have to slowly work my way up to that.

I've posted this load before, but H4831sc does a handy job in my .270 Ruger. 130gr Ballistic Tip 52.5gr H4831sc CCI 200 Primer Sub 1" groups at 120 yards ain't too bad. As far as Reloader 19, I've only given it one test, so I won't post any results, but at least it's available at...

For months I've been using the same load in my .270, with very little variation: 52.5gr H4831sc 130gr Ballistic Tip CCI LR Primer When testing batches of that load, or slight variations, I've always went with groups of 7. According to Handloader, as well as a few people I've talked to...

I tell you what, this stuff has gotta be the holy grail of reloading, since I can't find a single store within a 100 miles that has it. Sinclair's has 8 lb kegs for $153, but it turns into $185 when shipping and HAZMAT get through with it! The hunt is on. Frank

The four bullets I've gone through are: 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip 130gr Nosler Ballistic Tip 150gr Nosler Soft Point 130gr Nosler Soft Point You may notice a trend, but Nosler's factory is only 2 hours from my house, so I try to give them most of my business. And I'm not going to...

I saw that, but Ken Water's listed as the second-best load for the .270 (that he had found), so I had to go for it. I'll post a picture of the targets used w/Hodgdon data.

I had been struggling a little with finding a load my .270 Ruger M77 MII would agree with. The best I had found was a load that I had posted earlier: 54.0gr H-4831sc 150gr Ballistic Tip CCI 200 Primer Winchester Case 2" group @ 50 yards. If that's the best there was, then you know...

Roger that. Pet Loads listed 51.0gr as the most accurate (at least if I remember correctly), but I didn't figure that was universal. I'm thinking I'll leave my seating depth alone, and mess with powder first, .5 grains at a time.

Just tested out my first batch of reloads for my .270. Not bad, but I'm guessing there's something I'm going to have to improve (see pic). The skinny: Firearm: Ruger M77 Mark II Load: Full-Length Sized Federal Case CCI 200 Primer 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip BT...

I'm just looking for opinions on Forster's Precision Plus Bushing Bump Neck Sizing dies. I was thinking of picking up a set for my .270 and .22-250, as I neck size most of the time. I know everyone has their own part of reloading that they pay extra attention to, and mine is concentricity...

I'm loading Remington Gun Clubs with 15.5gr 700-X, DR XXL 7/8oz wads, 7/8 oz shot, and W209 primers. I'm cranking em out, but I've got about 150 Federal 209 (not 209A) primers left over from a few years ago, and I want to use them up. Can I sub them in for the Winchesters? Thanks. Frank...
