Interesting! I have quite a bit of loading data on a few Ackley's 223Ackley (averaged about 50fps improvement, BFD) 22-250 Ackley mostly 55 grain bullets 243 Ackley Berger Hybreds 25'06 Ackley 100 gr. Starks &75gr. also 22-243 Middlested I could get specific if interested. Mostly Hart barrels...

Well, I live where you can't get a concealed carry permit, therefore, my workaround is a very concealable Seecamp 32auto and plan on nothing but head shots.

As a few others have said, I guess my Oehler 35P is about 20 years old, never been hit, BTW. I had the printer serviced once, they turned it around in about 10 days, included a new 9v and a spare. I don't buy the problems with set up unless you are trying to zero it to line up with a target...

THE QUESTION "...... if I took some of them out 2 or 5 or 10 years from now, will they perform the same as when they were made as far as velocity/accuracy/point of impact or does the powder/primer eventually wear down ever so slightly over time......" The ANSWER is yes; "same as when they were...

Short answer, these handloaded components are virtually inert. They should last 20-50 years under ideal conditions. Compare that to your average IRS hard drive. BB

What I find useful is segregating my cases. As an example, (say you have 200) and you weigh them, and align them on a board. The first thing I do is take the ten lightest and ten heaviest and use them for load development, sighters, etc. Then, I have (for instance) 40 light cases, 40 heavy cases...

I think each rifle deserves it's own cases, and if you need to adjust a die, I don't consider that a big deal. If it is, then go ahead and dedicate a set of dies for each rifle. I wouldn't. BB

I see this as a very minor issue. I would full length resize, trim to whatever length that appeals to you and kinda forget about it for the next several reloadings. The design is one that I have never had very much of a problem, at least so far as gaining in overall length. The reason, (in...

Hey deadshot. While I agree with most of what you wrote, I think you are a bit out of line to quote me out of context. Originally Posted by BuzzBoss915 "this is wasted time away from their family" I said nothing of the sort. "For someone less committed, I doubt they would get past the...

Just to clarify, I personally, never use "max" loads. I do hunt hot places and know better. BB BTW, I load for twenty-six firearms, including seven Ackley's and wildcats. If I need more punch than a 223, I break out the 22-250. If I need more than that, there is the 22/243, etc. But, I don't...

See? Everybody is going to have their own rationale. Man, I wish I could get inside the head of those that are cranking the handle just so they can blast a few more rounds, every day. I can't say that I enjoy the sport so much as to repeat the same drills and call it practice. To what end? I...

I think this temperature sensitivity thing is a little overrated. I have never encountered a situation, (and I have hunted in different countries and on different continents) where a simple check of my zero was not possible before the serious shooting started. If H4350 degraded in sub zero...

There has been talk, forever about the economies of handloading. I suppose you can say some cost a few cents more or less than factory stuff, but by the time you factor in the dies for each caliber and the scales and the precision powder measures and a whole room full of specialized tools and...

You may have been talking about revolvers. I was talking about insufficiently crimped bullets and whether they are safe to fire. Where did revolver become germane to the discussion and come on, 45ACP in a revolver? I'm so glad you used CAPS, otherwise I would have missed your obscure point...

Yeah, right. Such a nice theory, but not in a magazine, Amigo. BB
