Not seeing any data from Speer using the 125gr TNT bullet in the 300 black out. I would assume that the Hornady load data would suffice but, then I am assuming things not knowing things. Anyone see any problems with this assumption? Have any of you tried this bullet in a 300 blackout cartridge...

Looking to get a 10” or shorter 300 BLK barrel for my AR. I need to understand the technicality’s before I pull the trigger on this purchase (pun intended). What are the current rules as far as a pistol goes? Braces are out now? Only option is a smooth wall receiver extension? What are the...

Longest range I have to shoot at my club is 200M. I have enough practice for this to become almost boring. Don’t get me wrong, it is a good poke that makes me work the fundamentals on my part. Rifles I have are plenty capable of this distance and group well when I do my part. I am taking a trip...

I’ve been reloading since 2014 so not super new to the game, recreantly started dipping my toe into the progressive loaders. Picked up a Lee 1000 at a gun show (old style with square base) set up to load 45acp. I’ve loaded a couple hundred rounds with it and think I like it, but it takes some...

Looking to replace broken bullet feed fingers for the Lee bullet feed system. running a Pro1000. I believe I had something out of time and crushed one side of the feed fingers. Are these sold separately as a replacement part? Quick loogle search shows the replacement of the bullet feed dealy...

I recently picked up a Raptor 30-06 from a flea market, and it is in a cartoon like state. the barrel is split like a banana! The seller had no information on its previous owner, bought in a storage locker auction. What in the world would cause this kind of catastrophic failure? the barrel is...

38sp load help needed I have been trying to load for my RI M200 without much succuss in regards to velocity deviation. FPS is all over the place with in a given charge range. Components are Berry’s 125gr FP, Fed #100 SPP, Win 231 powder (tested 3.8->4.8) brass mixed. First load test brass was...

Picked up some fired range brass for 6c EA mixed head stamp. Noticed different knurled banding on the brass/nickel cases. What are the bands for and how do they affect the reloading of these cases? Some are where I would expect the base of bullet to be, some are far down the case where I would...

Picked up my first revolver over the weekend. Wife said “why don’t you have one like that” in my collection. Without a good answer I said, “I don’t know, why, do you want one?” to my absolute surprise she said she would like to try one. So, I bought a RI M200 for $230 bucks. Price was good, has...

I have read some threads on the inter-webs that say electrical and RF devices interfere with digital scales. Is there any validity to this? Will my scale read different if my cell phone, PC/laptop, and or TV, is on or near the reloading bench? If so, why?

Has anyone tried IMR4064 in a 6.5 Grendel? I don’t see load date in any of my books for it. Looking at the burn rate chart it does fall within the range of powders that are listed. H335 at #86 Benchmark #85 (fastest), imr 4064 #101, Varget at #108, cfe223 at #111 (slowest). Seems to be in the...

Well, I messed around with the unused parts drawer and PSA website, made me a AR15 6.5 Grendel. Anderson lower and upper (nice fit) with a 20” PSA SS 6.5G 1/8 twist, various leftovers from other stuff. All I can find is wolf 100gr HP steel case to shoot for now. It seems to want to group...

Any one try the loads in their PDF manual? Downloaded it from their website. Seems like some really basic load data, but it is nice they provide something to load their bullets with. Looking at the 115gr RN 9mm and 200gr RN 45acp.

Looking to replace the stock sights on my RI 1911-A1-FS any suggestions? This is a staked front sight, GI dovetail rear, not cut for Novak or adjustable rear sight. Is the front sight staking removal and install something a layperson could do with the right tools? Also thinking about better...

Inspired by a post I saw here a while back I thought this might be fun to try. Turns out it was a hoot! This combo for me has no real application other than plinking steel at 50yrsd. Back story is… long ago, before Cabela’s turned into Bass Pro they had a bargain cave. Found a box of Berry’s...

Powders have been hard to find as you all well know. LGS had some 244 ball – win clean *handgun powder on the shelf. On an impulse I picked up a can. As usual with an impulse buy, I did some basic home work later. Want to know the general consciences on this powder. Loading for 9mm-45ACP. Might...

Was setting up a load ladder for some SS109 (green tip) pulled bullets about 6 months ago that I never got around to shooting. Cases are loaded with IMR4895 and have been kept in cool dry storage. Things being the way they are I’m thinking of pulling the bullets, keeping the powder, and...

They say there is a first time for everything, this is a first for me. I had a case separate about a third of the way down the body from the mouth. I’ve read about separations happening just above the web and inspect cases for that prior to reloading. Looking for the shiny ring, if I see one...

Finally got around to buying a 1911, Rock Island M1911-A2-FS, nothing fancy. So now begins the reloading of 45 ACP. I have experience loading for 9mm and 32 ACP so not new to pistol loading, just new to the 45. Anything special about loading this one? Advise, things to look for, special...

50-grain Varmint Grenade Working up a load for this bullet. Ran a ladder with Varget 22.8 to 24.8 in .5 increments. While none blew my skirt up as far as tight groups, I think I need to run something similar again. Rifle is a 20” PSA on an Anderson lower, Accu wedge, Rise A trigger, A1...
