    Trim length

    I headspaced a barrel a little shorter than saami, and neglected to trim the case necks by an equal amount. Recently I've had a load test where groups of 5 were shot, and while most grouped between .25 and .5 moa, they were missing a shot. The bullet missed the target completely... On one of...

    Wild flyers

    Ladder testing on 180gr Hornady eld-m. Pushing between 2900-3050 fps in 7mm rem mag. 28" tube 8.5 twist. Above and to the right of each target is the group shot at that target. 4 of the 5 groups held fairly well, except... There are only 3 or 4 holes and 5 were shot. On the bottom right...

    Lee FL die oversizing cases?

    I'm getting back into shooting and reloading after a hiatus. I have a bunch of 7mm rem mag brass that I couldn't remember where I left off with, so I just full length sized all 50 in the group. After being meticulous with charge weights and seating depth, I only then decided to measure the...

    .50AE in a .50 Beowulf chamber

    What do you think guys... Can I shot a 50ae in a beowulf chamber? Its not on the saami list. They are both rebated rims to my knowledge. I know the head space issues, but to be frank, with a strong extractor, I dont consider it a real issue... Would you equate it to shooting a 40sw from a...

    glock: 1 in chamber, uncocked

    I have read that one of the issues people have with the glock is the inability to carry a loaded gun in an un-cocked condition. Ive learned tonight, after fiddling with my G23, how this can be done. Can anyone surmise as to how one might go about this? Furthermore, it can be brought to a...

    Truck Stolen

    just had my truck stolen tonight. I live in a nice part of a Denver metro area in Colorado. The dodge ram diesel was stolen from my driveway. I heard it start, grabbed my gun and a flashlight and ran outside. It was well down the road and I didnt have an ability to chase it. I called the...

    trade bullets?

    forgive me if this is inappropriate, and if so, feel free to delete the thread I purchased 500 bullets from rainier for my desert eagle. they are the hollow point 335gr .50 plated bullets. Their nose design prevents me from seating them at an appropriate depth. If I seat too deep, the ogive...

    Momentum or Energy?

    This may be the wrong place for this topic, but here goes anyway... You are planning on rolling up a load for your 10mm (because its your favorite caliber ever) for a back country hike in the Montana wilderness. Its intended purpose is to defend you from any dangerous wildlife you may...

    bullet chaffing when chambered

    hi guys. Great forum! I am not new to precision reloading or the variables involved, however I must note that I haven't the money to spend on high dollar gun parts to really make my reloads shine. I have spent countless hours reloading precision bullets for my savage 7mm rem mag. It has a...
