Hey all, I am helping a friend with an issue he has with his Huglu. He is having issues with light primer strikes, the previous owner "altered" the firing pin but he isn't sure what was done. Does anyone know if the Huglu pump shotgun uses a Remington / Mossberg style firing pin and spring? I...

Is anyone out there loading the 125gr SNS casting coated bullets? I am helping a friend out, we started with 3.4 grains of Bullseye at 1.115 OAL. They were jamming and would not pass the plunk test as I did not have the barrel available when I loaded 10 test rounds for him. I had my Lee hand...

I have a Savage Hog Hunter in 308 and there is a bulge in the barrel under the front sight ramp. I am not sure what's going on, I was re-arranging the safe tonight and I bumped the front sight, it seemed loose. On inspection I twisted the base a bit and the front sight came off. There is a...

I have three loads I am looking at as a starting load. They are listed below, give me your thoughts. The A-Max looks to about 2 grains below start, I loaded a couple of rounds using the 175gr data, I figured it would be a close start with a reduction for the LC brass. Thanks in advance! 178gr...

I have a general question about a load I have been using. The data checks out but it seems weird. I have some 147gr surplus 308 bullets that I am loading behind CFE223. The only question I have is that after I fire the round, the brass comes out clean, a little soot on the neck but it is getting...

I noticed this while prepping brass last week. This is a hand load using Lake City 2005 brass, LC crimped primer and a 62gr SS109 over 24.5gr of WC844. These are mild loads compared to factory M855 ammo. There are two ruptures in the case, none of the rounds felt or sounded different from the...

I have a problem with deciding on which rifle I will buy later today. I have a Savage Mark II with accutrigger in layaway but I can't decide if I should get it or a Marlin XT-22 with adjustable trigger. The Savage feels light but OK, what do you recommend? Either will be for plinking since I...

I purchased a pound of the new wonder powder CFE223 a few weeks ago at a gun show. I did some testing to verify how it would meter etc. It is nearly identical to H335 in volume of 0.0645. The load data is NOT the same but the measurements are. I have a nifty Excel worksheet that you select the...

I am looking to get a progressive to start loading .223. My Lee turret isn't going to cut it with having to manually index the turret. I am looking online and have no idea where to start. I like the Hornady press and I am stuck between it and a Dillon. There is the option for a Lee Pro 1000 etc...

About a week ago I was shooting some 200gr IDP#4 from Mo Bullet company over 4.3 ish grains of GreenDot (it was the startign load I don't have it in front of me), one shot sounded like a primer only, I cleared the weapon and the barrel was clear but dirty. My father told me he could see the slug...

I have been using Bullseye loading 45acp, it meters very well and consistent, I have some AA#7 that I was using for some XTP's and it makes a huge mess. It is too fine an leaks around the disks. What other powders for 45acp meter as well as Bullseye? I don't have a good local source for Bullseye...

I have a quick question, I purchased some Hornady 230gr lead ball ammo. I tried using a factory 230gr to adjust seating depth but it looks too far out. Any ideas as to what the depth should be? The one that looks correct has an OAL of 1.243" an the one that looks off is 1.2765" Thanks for any help!

I have a Kahr CW45 and I have been loading 200gr LRNFP over 4 grains of Bullseye. This stuff is nasty! After 100 or so rounds I have tons of unburnt powder on me and the gun. What is a cleaner burning powder that I can use? Thanks in advance for any help!

My dad gave me my Great grandfathers model 12 yesterday, it was made in 1953 has a full choke and is a blast to shoot :evil: Is there a way to remove a chambered shell without firing the gun? Right now we cannot rack the slide without either dry firing or shooting a live round. Is there any...

I am having some height issues with the press and dies for my .444 Marlin, the decapping pin is catching on the brass as the press rotates. This is damaging the brass and causing headaches. Has anyone used this before? I am thinking that removing the pin will make it work. I have the same issue...
