    Start loads 9mm Titegroup - plated vs xtp??

    Howdy all, Just a quick question here. I'm working up a new load for 9mm with some titegroup under 115 grain plated bullets. Never shot plated projectiles before and I'm trying to figure out where to start. Lee's table recommends starting at 3.9gr for a 115gr lead bullet and then starting at...

    Dillon 9mm die set or Lee Deluxe carbide set??

    Have just about everything I need to start reloading 9mm. ...except dies. I've reloaded .223 and .308 in the past and all my gear so far is all LEE, which I like a lot. However, its next to impossible to get 9mm dies at a reasonable price these days. So I can either go to a local reloading...

    What's a good trade for 1500 once fired .308 brass??

    Hey guys, I'm gonna pick up about 1500 once fired .308 brass from a friend. I could sell it but I'm thinking of trading in the forums for 223/556 brass as that is what I really need. What would you guys consider a good trade? 1 for 1? (1 .308 for 1 .223) 1 for 2?

    TUL AMMO small rifle (non mag) primers ok for AR15 loads??

    Hey guys, I recently bought 5000 TUL AMMO small rifle primers to reload in my M&P 15t. I didn't order the magnum primers, just the regular small rifle. Got them from midsouthShooterssupply. Item #112-KVB223. Earlier I had read that TUL primers were fine and now I'm reading a few threads and...

    Anything wrong with cleaning brass this way??

    So I was gonna pick up some walnut hull at a local store tomorrow, 9lbs for $15 was all they had. But before I did I thought I'd try something I'd heard which was throwing the brass in my rotary tumbler, some hot water, some tumbling shot and some liquid soap. Took about 10 minutes and the...

    Reloading without a chrono - when to know when I'm nearing max?

    Howdy, I'll be reloading 308 for the first time soon (RE 15, Winchester LRP and MK). I don't have a chrono and my understanding is you can tell when you are loading too many grains of powder when the fps starts to drop off even though the charge is increased. So my question is mainly, are...

    Question: reloader 15 for 308

    My 4lbs of RE15 arrived today! I've been looking around for some recipes for RE15 and 308. Most of the load data I've found has 168 grain bullets and above. Anyone have any experience/advice using it with 150 grain bullets?

    Lupau brass life vs Remington?

    My question is what is the reloading life of Lapau brass against a more inexpensive brand such as Remington or Winchester? I'm new to reloading and will be loading 308 rounds. Lupau 308 brass looks to go for about $75 per 100 where Remington looks to be about $40 per hundred. Of course, I'd...

    Glock 19 Ghost trigger - double fire - help

    Installed a Ghost Ultimate 3.5lb trigger on my gen 2 Glock 19. Took it out to the range today and it was double firing. Pulled the trigger once and it rapid fire two shots. One squeeze and *pop*pop*. At first I thought maybe I was not releasing the trigger all the way and accidentally firing...

    Can you recommend some good rings?

    Looking to get some new rings. Gonna be upgrading my scope soon. Currently have a cheap barska 3-9x40 on there. I can afford the rings now, and they'll probably also hold the barska a little better for the time being. The current rings I have hold the scope a little high, so I'd also be...

    Considering getting muzzle brake for .308 - your thoughts?

    Took my Ruger American .308 out for the first time this weekend, and as expected, it kicks pretty hard. Not a huge deal, but after 50+ rounds my shoulder was definitely feeling it. So I started considering buying a brake as I'm told this can help a lot with felt recoil. What do you guys...

    Howdy gentlemen, This is my first post. I have a question which I'm sure has been asked many times before. I've done some pretty extensive searching on google for the answer and have run into some contradictory facts. So I'd like to see if I could ask again here to get a straight answer...
