I recently picked up a 32-20 revolver and while completing the deal the shop owner and another customer both agreed that 32-20 ammo for pistols is different than rifles. :confused: I assumed 32-20 is 32-20, just like 44 mag is 44 mag, 357 is 357 etc. The only reason I bought it is because I...

I've been handed down my grandfathers Marlin lever action in .32/20, along with a few hundred pieces of brass, some 80 gr & 100 gr bullets. It seems like any load data I can find is for pistols, which I've also read is too light of a load for rifles. Does anyone have any starting point for...

Ok so I'm reloading 6.8 SPC w/ 110 Accubonds. Using a Dillon 550B press, Hornady New Dimension dies. I know it has to be something simple, but it's about to make me crazy. I have all the dies set, run one case thru to set OAL and it's dead on at 2.260". Run the next case thru and it's way...

When I bought my 500 S&W magnum, I also bought a bunch of reloading supplies from the same guy. That was a year ago, and some of the cast bullets were in Tupperware containers, probably because the boxes were in poor shape or whatever. I have a bunch of bullets that were marked 452 gr FNGC...

Here's a photo of the last 5 rounds of 500 mag I shot. I happened to notice the primers were gradually struck harder around the cylinder. It's a little hard to tell but the first two or three seem to have a normal strike on them, the fourth is slightly deeper and almost punctured, the fifth is...

Has anyone been able to make their own modified case for the OAL guage? I am assuming they must have come up with their own threads or something sp that people can't make their own cases?

Does anyone have any load data for the 500 grain Hornady FP/XTP bullets, preferably using Lil Gun or H110? On a side note, when trying to find data for a bullet does it really make much difference what style the bullet is as long as you have the correct weight? Is a 500 grain bullet a 500...

Can black powder, FFg or FFFg specifically, be measured out the same way as regular powder? I mean, a grain is a grain correct? Sorry if this seems like something that should be common sense, but I am totally new to black powder and want to be safe rather than sorry. :o

I'm reloading a bunch of 22-250 for a prairie dog trip and ran out of Varget. Of course no one has any on hand and I dont have time to order any. I do have some IMR 4350 but I can't find any data for the Berger 60 grain FB Varmint hp's. I do see on Hodgdons website they recommend 38-40 grains...

When loading new brass is it necessary to full length size it? I was just thinking, I've never had new brass before. :o

Well in my haste at Gander Mountain, and digging through their mess of boxes of primers, I bought large rifle magnum primers when I meant to buy large rifle primers for my 22-250. I normally buy CCI 200 primers, but picked up the 250's by mistake. I haven't checked but I would assume...

Yesterday I was sizing some 22-250 brass and while the down stroke didn't seem very hard, bringing the press arm back up was probably twice as hard. It seemed like I could lower the brass about half way and it would get stuck or hangup, then I'd have to pull extra hard or even slam the press...

Why does it seem so hard to find any loading data for 41 mag w/ 200 gr JHP's, especially with H110 or Lil Gun? Does anyone have anything I can start with? I'm guessing about 20 grains or so would be a safe load?

A friend recently gave me a box of brass, bullets, primers and dies that he's had in his basement in a cardboard box for maybe six or eight years. Everything looks like brand new, no rust on the dies or anything. My only concern is the primers. Can they be stored in that manner for a period...

Am I missing something or why doesn't the turret press have anything to catch the spent primers like the single stage presses? I decapped a few rounds and those little buggers were going everywhere, never falling the same path twice. Does anyone have any fixes? I didn't see anything on Lee's...

I have a friend that wants me to help him reload some 41 mag rounds, but he wants to wait until he gets a hold of some jacketed bullets. He has all kinds of cast bullets that he got with the gun and die set, but he'd rather not use them. He doesn't really have a reason why, and I guess I don't...

I was all excited to see a bottle of Hodgdon Lil Gun powder on the shelf at Gander Mountain so snagged it up along with a few other things and hurried home. Upon unpacking my new goodies I noticed the bottle of powder says Hodgdon Lil Gun shotgun powder??:mad: Is there a Lil Gun Pistol...

I have an old Springfield model 120A .22 rifle that over the years has had the threads buggered up and ultimately stripped out completely. A friend of mine said he could helicoil it and it would be fine, which was just the beginning of my head ache. First he broke the tap off in the barrel...

Do any of you add anything to your tumbling media, like a powder or liquid cleaner? It seems like I remember reading somewhere about someone adding a cap full of something to their corn cob media but now I can't find it. On a side note, does anyone use their tumbler for polishing anything...

What's the going rate for once fired range brass that still needs to be cleaned and sized? Mainly 223, 45, 40, and 9mm and all mixed brands but mostly Federal and Remington I would guess.
