    Correlating Jacketed recipes to Plated bullets

    So, can I use “jacketed” recipes for plated bullets? Why do I ask (now)? Someone gave me a few hundred 125gr plated Berrys bullets for .38 Special. And, I could not locate a specific load recipe for 125 gr Berry’s Bullets on AmmoGuide.com . (I know it is not the only place to look) And, it...

    Reclaimed Shot for reloading

    Local supplier has barrels of 7 1/2 reclaimed lead that he represents as still "round" for a good price. Any pros or sons to using this for informal practice loads in 20 and 12?

    Powders for the Apocolypse

    Well it is cold outside, so fire up the woodstove and humor me... If you had to stockpile powder (Think like a Prepper) and you loaded for these cartridges: .38, .357. 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 acp; 12 and 20 gauge;.222, .223, .257R, .7mm RM, .308, .30-06, 7.65 Arg, and you were a minimalist (as few...

    Nosler Accubonds vs. Partitions and Ballistic Tips

    Wishing I could buy into the hype/promise, but cautious... I have waited to experiment with the new Accubonds. I admit to being a Nosler shooter. I lived with a simple rule.... Ballistic Tips for Deer and Partitions for Elk and "up" as a general rule. Then along comes the Accubonds and the...

    Comprehensive SD Ammo comparison .45 acp

    Does anybody know of a fairly comprehensive, comparative analysis of the available .45 acp Delf Defense Ammo. I can find 30+ You Tube Videos of two or three different factory loads, but nothing about a comparison of 20+ loads.

    HEPA filters in loading room...

    I got to thinking (something that doesn't happen too often at my age) about air filters. My son and I share a reloading room at his house (lives a bloack away). He just had a child (my 3rd grandchild) and I started to rethink the whole lead issue. We load a lot of shotgun shells for trap...

    Heavier bullets in 9mm for SD

    I don't want to debate using reloads for self defense. I have all the confidence in the world that I make reliable, safe and effective ammunition. I am, as an Illinois resident, going to be applying for a concealed carry license. I have settled on a small 9mm for a carry pistol. My opinion...

    Should a first time reloader get a progressive

    So, I have always cautioned first time reloaders to start out with a good single stage or a manual turret press. But, I have had numerous acquaintances come to me for advice and already have a plan to buy a Dillon (or another) progressive loader based on advice from some other pistol shooter...

    How about a 9mm Makarov for CCW

    It just reaches 100fps w/100 gr in a very small package. About 15% better than a .380 and about 80% of a 9mm... I am considering it for those T-shirt and Shorts days for pocket carry

    Greater Accuracy potential in 7mm

    So, from a case standpoint only; .280 or 7mm RM (or another 7mm) for 600 yards and more. I have a 7mmRM and know the quirks of the headspace on the belt issues. I have decided to treat myself to a barrel burner/reach out and touch it new rifle built on a Savage action and want it in 7mm. I...

    .45 acp and Clays

    In the shortage I ran low on my three favorite powders so I tried some Clays that I could get. Shot them and they ran fine, but I was a little surprised at how dirty they left the pistol. I have loaded .38s with Clays in the past and my notes didn't indicate that they shot this dirty. Is my...

    .257R or .260 Rem????

    Anybody ever done any "scientific" comparisons of the .257 Roberts and the .260 Remington. I have been a fan of the .257 for 40+ years, and was about to buy one for my son (Win Model 70 FW) when a friend made a critical comment that my Roberts used to be the best "mid caliber" but the .260 was...
