How accurate and how precise does your powder charge need to be? There is a thread looking for scale recommendations right now and the prices for the scales range from $25 dollars to well over $600. A few months back I bought a $25 dollar scale from Amazon and tested it for repeatability...

A funny thing happened on the way to the loading press today. I decided to top off a load box of ammo this morning in preparation for a upcoming match. I set everything up, double checked the charge and the seating depth, calibrated the scale, grabbed a bin of sized cases and proceeded to start...

Located a couple of great articles on load development and reloading. I thought some of you might enjoy them step by step on reloading for bottleneck rifle http://www.texasprc.club/hand-loading-for-precision-rifle-bannon-eldridge/ and another on precisionload development...

I see a lot of threads wondering how to do a load workup, here is a step by step rough 4 X 4 workup. This is designed toi get me in the ballpark and fine tuning is still needed Fist step was researching the load. It is meant as a long range load up to 800 yards. The BC of this bullet is too low...

In another thread flash hole deburring was mentioned. The only test I have seen on the practice was in by Litz ( is he the only one that actually tests these theories ?) and he found that if you are using brass with punched flashholes not drilled deburring produces a significantly lower SD of...

Anyone else do this for mid and long range practice? this is a no longer a official NRA sanctioned event But a local club has been running some matches using the A-21 target. I have a old CZ 452 that always shot well and love the competitions. I dusted off the CZ and went up and tested some...

Anyone here use one and can review it? I have 2 universal depriming dies already and the magnet trick has cured my Rockchucker's spent primer puking problem but this little puppy looks so neat I may just have to buy myself one for Christmas https://harveydeprimer.com/

Labradar and Samsung bluetooth incompatibility - Update Just got a Labradar and the bluetooth connections are quirky at best. Sometimes connecting and other times error after error connecting. This is on 3 different Samsung devices with three different Android versions. I sent a email to the...

Just got my Labradar today and wondering about battery usage I have a 12000 mAh battery pack and six rechargeable AA batteries already. For 3 - 4 hour range sessions will I need another battery pack?

Have to say I was pretty disappointed in this one at the end of part II they promised https://www.ampannealing.com/articles/42/annealing-under-the-microscope/ instead we get a infomercial so this post is a bit of a rant...

This morning my FART was giving me a fit trying to get the end caps to seal. I cleaned the seating surfaces and gaskets several times but kept getting a slight drip when rotating no matter how much I tightened the end caps I put a light coating of vaseline on both sides of each gasket and no...

I have been thinking about trying one of the Wilson chamber dies for seating and the DIY press thread got me to thinking. Is a arbor press really necessary? Why not just sit the bullet seater base on the top of the ram of a regular press and hold the die in place as you raise the ram. You can...

Anyone here ever gave it a thought? All it would require is a lead pot and some playground sand. Heat it up to 750 or 800 dip the cases in up to the base of the shoulder for a few seconds. Time period could be determined with liquid Templaq, heating would be even and it would not be that hard to...

a small test of 4 different small rifle primers. I only did 10 shots per primer except for the CCI 400, one of which had a squib. A 15 or 20 shot group would be preferable but this gave me a idea of what worked for this load. I used Peterson .260 Rem SR cases on their 3rd firing. They were wet...

I have 2 - 3 pounds of RL10x and about the same amount of TAC left over from my .204 days. I changed the barrel out to .223 and was thinking of buying some lighter bullets to use with the .223. The barrel is a 1-8 twist barrel I am thinking of trying some 50 - 55 grain bullets. Has anyone here...
