I think that it is time to pickup a new scale. I had a charge of 6 grains of 3N37 sitting on a RCBS RangeMaster 750 scale, and after loading 20 rounds the scale crept up to 6.4 grains. I zeroed the scale and weighed a charge and it said 6 grains. It always crept up a bit but never that much. I...

Looking into four reloading books for information on the 45 super, and finding nothing has sparked an idea to pickup Quick Load. The price of Quick Load is about what I paid for the four reloading manuals. Is there any other software that I should check out before purchasing Quick Load? I...

I went online to Hodgdonreloading and Vihtavuori, I found some 45 super load data on Hodgdonreloading for Longshot, a powder that I have. Hodgdon states 1,053 fps max load for a 200 grain JHP with Longshot for a 45 super load. Vihtavuori states with a 200 grain HAP, Hornady, and 3N37 and 3N38...

I will be picking up my new HK USP in 45 this week, supposedly it can shoot the 45 super due to a well supported case and the recoil spring is supposed to be able to handle it. I ordered a die set, shell plate, and die holder last night. Is there a special brass needed to run the 45 super? I...

Thinking about picking up a cmmg 45 acp carbine that can fire the 450 smc. But the 450 smc seems to use a thicker brass with a small magnum pistol primer, Starline doesn't sell it. Just Buffalo Bore loaded ammo. Can a Glock gen4 G21 or G41 fire a 450 smc? Can a Glock gen4 G21 or G41 fire a...

Thiking about reloading another caliber, the 10mm. I have been reloading 40 S&W for about four years now, and I tend to see how fast I can get a bullet going over the chronograph. So why not get a 10mm. The powders that I have been using will work in a 10mm: CFE, Autocomp, Longshot, 3N37, and...

I finally picked up a chronograph, and found out some interesting things. I am using these rounds in a 9 inch long barrel 40 s&w carbine. A 180 gn with 7.8 grains of Longshot 8 beeing max load, came out to be 1265 fps. Average fps. A 165 gn with 7.8 grains of Longshot 7.8 beeing max load...

I have a 40 s&w mp5 carbine that for the most part couldn't hit the broadside of a barn at 50 yards. At 25 yards the group is about a foot. Finally decided to re barrel it. I I measured the chamber diameter on the barrel that is currently in the rifle. The current chamber is .430 id. The new...

Going to starting to reload 44 magnum in a month or so. I did a little searching on the forum, and came up with IMR 4227 and Alliant 2400 as a decent powder choice. I own a progressive press, so I was wondering how these two meter. I also have CFE, Autocomp, and Longshot, they all meter quite...

I just bought a Tauris 44 mag. raging bull 6.5 long barrel. I also picked up some loaded ammo. Probably going to pickup a set of dies next month. But the ammo that I ordered, seems to have two different bullet diameters. One is .429 dia. buffalo bore 270 grain 1450 fps Jacketed Flat Nose the...

Finally was able to get a few rounds over the chronograph that i picked up a while ago, but haven't been able to use till last weekend. I was using a carbine with a 9 inch barrel, and was shooting a 180 grain fmj with 7.5 grains of longshot. The fps came in at 1260. I have some Autocomp and...

I bought some 40 s&w brass on amazon a few years ago, but I can't seem to find any now. Looking for some once fired brass. Anny ideas on where to find some brass?

I plan on loading some 165 grn gold dots and 180 grn fmj and 180 grn Nosler hp with Long Shot. In the online hodgdon site max load for a 165grn is 7.8 and for a 180 grn max load is 8.0 grn Shouldn't the max load for the heavier 180 grn be less then the max load for the 165 grn?

I have a 40s&w carbine with a 8.5 inch barrel. I am looking for a powder to drive a 165gn bullet to the highest fps. My press is a progressive so preferably something that meters well. Anny ideas?

The caliber is 40 S&W The press is a rcbs pro 2000 progressive with carbide dies and I just started having this problem, while resizing the die starts to dig into the casing, and I can't finish the stroke Sort of messes me up considering I am using a progressive press I think I might size...

Trying to find some load data for a 40S&W, 180 grain Nosler hollow point with WST. Looked around a bit but can't seem to find an exact match anywhere. Has anyone tried this combo?

Trying to find some cheap 40 jacketed bullets. I have a carbine that won't reliably feed plated bullets, they keep hanging up. It eats up any kind of jacketed bullet, it runs great on 150GN Nosler JHP but they are 45.99 for 250

Just came back from the range, and I must say Winchester Super Target is some great powder. I am shooting 40S&W, loaded some 150gr nosler hollow points (gun doesn't like plated) and wow what an accuracy improvement over a lightly loaded CFE Pistol round. Winchester Autocomp came in second...
