I have petload data using H380 and have and idea of what the MV is. Can I shorten number of test loads to a new powder that will have similar MV as estimated by load charts and using the same bullet? With the same MV, shouldn't the pressure curve be close? Any actual experience comparing two...

A local reloader I talked to last week said he was going to develop a nice load with a 150gr Hornady so he'll have a general idea what he can work around for testing Barnes 150gr bullets. This will save money. I did a short search of compared loads using different brand bullets of the same...

I pulled a few 45-200LSWC bullets yesterday using my kinetic puller and noticed than all of them had the pain rubbed off. If such is the case, the exposed lead would rub off in my barrel. I took a hammer and smashed a bullet with a hammer, even at an angle and the pain remained on the lead...

How deep do you Bullseye and PPC shooters seat your bullets? I seat my bullets at the cannelure or to a factory round. But, I've heard it mentioned that there is a forcing cone. And, there is the overall length of the chamber. Do you seat your bullets so their flush to the cylinder or some...

I want to bump up a .311 Barnes bullet to .312? Can it be done? Can I PC it up by .001". From my experience, .312" bullets shoots through my rifle better than .311"

For the life of me, I can't find the thread where someone had great groups and used Federal brass. I started weighing my collection of 9mm and .40 cal range brass, randomly pulling 50 cases and weighing them. This is what I recorded. Federal .40 cal. 67gr (10%) and 69gr (90%) Remington. 40cal...

I hope to soak your brains and keep the thread interesting. When I use to dive, my oldest brother decided to help me pack first, and before I left, I poured everything out on the driveway, spread it out, and inspected whether everything I wanted was there. What's in your hunting pack after so...

I started casting in March and am pretty well invested in them. The molds cast decent looking bullets from range lead but my groups haven't looked as good as lead bullets purchased from Oregon Trails..so far. I will guess that one problem I face is the lead I'm using. The question I have is if...

Guys, I was sorting my .40 brass yesterday and was thinking, is Remington brass better than Winchester brass for bullet casters because the Remington has thinner walls? As you know, your cast bullet has been sized for a proper fit. Pulled bullets in the past show that tight internal brass...

There more models of knives than guns. Which do you choose. What knife did you find the best for your needs to clean your game? Any other tools? Any did you not like?

Does anyone have experience using VVN310 for 9-122, .38-148wc, or .38-150swc? I've read that the Clays load data is about the same. Which would you guess would make a more accurate load with this fast powder?

The fun is over and you've shot your game. How do you take your game out? Backpack or drag it out? What kind of pack or drag system do you use? Why?

I plan to use AA2 for my 9-120/122gr target loads. Future loads I plan to assemble is 9-115/124 GD loads. I'd like something a bit more stout but in the intermediate range. While AA7 was made for the 9mm, has anyone used AA5 and had better results than AA7?

I'm just throwing this out in hopes someone has an oversized RCBS neck sizing plug .321" or larger they'd want to trade for a .308 sizing plug. Thanks

Do any of you carry a handgun with you when hunting? If so, what kind of holster do you use and what type of pistol do you carry? Do you carry your handgun for only when hunting for certain game?

I've wanted the Swedish M67 Rolling Blocks for years and have looked up what little information there is about in on the web and youtube. The question I have is how accurate can that rifle with its original barrel be? The barrel, from what I read, was their musket barrel refitted on to rolling...

My FL sized Arisaka cases have a sharp shoulder but the fireformed case has a round shoulder like a Weatherby. To properly FL size this case, I need to have a custom die made, yes?

What are your thoughts about resized and grouped rifle cases by weight vs. volume? Do you do both? Has anyone did range tests to compare the results and improvement on accuracy?

I found a Youtube thread by Fortune Cookie 45 last night and he uses toilet wax sealers on his cast bullets. Has anyone tried this and is there excess smoke?

What is your experience on the best powder for your .45acp? This is mine experience so far: VVN310 sucks. I've tried it on 185gr Nosler JHP, 230RN, and 200SWC. Not good for me. I'm going to burn it up in my 38-148wc and my 3-150swc loads. Bullseye is perfect. Great groups in everything. My...
