    standard primers in 357

    I use 158gr Zero JHP over 7.7gr Unique (flake) powder and CCI 500 standard small primers for my full power 357 rounds. I've never had an issue.

    Finished my precision AR build today (PICS!!!)

    Here are the first grouping for both me and my rifle. I shot 5 shots at 25 yards to get the optic in the right area, then I shot these three groupings at 100 yards. These are my first groupings at 100 yards with any rifle. The most I've ever done is shoot milk jugs with my SKS or Mosin. A...

    BL-C(2) for 223

    I haven't seen pretty much any powder in the last couple months. Thanks for the input. I think I'm going to hold off until I can get ripped off buying something like 4895 of Varget...

    BL-C(2) for 223

    I have no powder. I'm loading .223 77gr SMK BTHP for an AR with a Kreiger 1:7.7 18" barrel. I've been offered 8lb for $220, should I do it?

    What dies should I buy for 223 AR?

    Good catch guys. I'm thinking about using imperial wax. The only info I haven't been able to find is best way to remove the wax. Is tumbling in corn cob media for an hour or so good enough to get the wax off?

    What dies should I buy for 223 AR?

    Thanks guys, I got the Forster Ultra 2 Die set (micrometer seating die, and FL sizing die), and a Lee factory crimp die. I'm just cutting my teeth, so here is my plan with the things I have (or have already ordered): 1) Tumble in corn cob media in vibratory tumbler (possible SS wet tumbling a...

    Tell me if I'm missing anything for loading 223

    Okay, I just ordered everything on my list. I may get the WFT trimmer if I end up loading a bunch of rounds. Thanks guys.

    Tell me if I'm missing anything for loading 223

    Good catch on the calipers. I have a descent set for my pistol rounds.

    Tell me if I'm missing anything for loading 223

    I have an LNL AP. This is the first time I will be loading rifle rounds. They will be for a precision AR. I will be tumbling in corn cob media. I will probably get a single stage press, and possibly a Thumbler Tumbler in the not-so-distant future, but my goal is to simply get started while I get...

    What dies should I buy for 223 AR?

    Money is no object. Accuracy and Precision are top priorities. Sexiness would be nice, but I'll always take function over form.

    What dies should I buy for 223 AR?

    I will be loading for a precision AR with a Wylde chamber and 1:7.7 twist. I will load 77rg SMK BTHP bullets. This is my first precision rifle. I will be using a Hornady LNL AP to start while I get used to shooting the rifle. When I hit a plateau in precision I'll probably buy a single stage...
