Hi again every one. Still kind of new at reloading. This is my 2nd year reloading for my rem 700 in .308. recently I picked up a bullet comparator and oal gage. I measured the distance to my lands with 168gr hpbt bullet. distance = 2.312 2.311 2.313 2.311 added up (9.247) and divided by 4 to...

Hi again everyone. so I started reloading last spring for my .308 bolt gun. It's been a good time. Looking to start loading for my Olympic arms AR chambered in 5.56, 16in heavy barrel. Do the case volumes fluctuate as much as .308 brass from head stamp to stamp? Anyone have a good recipe with...

Just picked up a box of ultramax .223 55 gr soft point. I was disappointed to see that a lot of case body's were banged up and dented. Is it safe to shoot these cartages with dents? has any one else tried the ultra max remanufactured (reloaded lc brass)? Better yet can I reload the reloaded...

Thinking about reloading for my ar. The barrel is stamped 5.56. I know I can run 223 through it, but I usually buy 5.56 because that is what it is stamped. I was looking for a 556 full length resizing die at the store and couldn't find one. Seems they have 223 in all the popular brands, some...

Thinking about bringing my stock 700p in to the gunsmith for xmas. I want my barrel threaded for a break. While it is in the shop, I was thinking I would have the trigger lightened up just a bit. Any other ideas on what a guy should have done for a stock rem700p? Maby a new trigger, bolt handle...

So the wife dry fired my jc higgens 12ga and the pin is now stuck. it is sticking way out from the bolt face. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Should I just bring it to the gun shop.

Trying to tighten groups at 200m. Loading for a rem 700p 26"barrel with 1-12 twist. Started reloading this spring, so still learning. Current paper punching pet round is hornady #3037 150gr fmj bt, with 39.6gr imr4895, rem 9.5 and wlr primers, and any brass I can find or buy inexpensively...

I was looking for the load data for 130gr Barnes ttsx bt and irm4895 powder. loading for rem 700p 26in 1-12 twist. Googled the heck out of it and cant find that specific combo. Closest I found on the Barnes site was 130 gr xbt @min 42.5 gr imr4895 = 2814fps, or max 46.5gr imr4895 = 3079fps. any...

hi again. So far in my loads I have ben using bullets with a crimp groove. Not paying attention to the over all length of the cartage, just seating the bullet to the middle of the crimp. Now that I have learned more, I see that oal is pretty important to accuracy. Setting the bullet back from...

hello. I think I may have done a bad thing. I just got an ultrasonic cleaner for my brass. works great! cleaned some cases ultra fast. the expander ball in my fl size die had a build up of junk on it, so I tossed the fl size die in to the tub after cleaning the brass. the die came out black...

Hello again everyone. I am a new reloader, just started this summer and I'm on my 300th round. I am having a good time with it. Every thing I have loaded to this point has been my once fired brass. Most of my cases are at the end of their life span I think. Starting to see the shine 1/16" up...

Hi every one. Recently I decided to start reloading for my .308 win. I have put together and fired 80 rounds now with great success. I cant believe the difference in consistency. Both rifles shoot WAY tighter groups with the hand loads vs cheep box ammo. So I plan to continue reloading. I am...
