    Anyone have any 10mm brass for sale?

    Please PM me if you have some 10mm brass you would like to sell or trade. I know this is mainly a rifle community but I am sure most of us also reload for pistol. Thank you.

    Suppressors .22 can worth it?

    I own a 762 can and I love it, it is impressive every time I use it. As impressive as it is I wonder how much quieter a .22 can be. I am looking into a silencerco sparrow and am wondering for those of you who have one is it an impressive audible difference or simply an expensive novelty? Thanks...

    I went through this thought too.... but once you get one you will want another.

    AR-15 sub sonic load help needed

    Jwp is right. I cant believe you shot a load through your can without ensuring first that it was not tumbling. You are not going to get that rifle to cycle with a sub. I agree it is cool to have a sub load for an ar, but if I have to cycle the round I might as well have a bolt action...

    Suppressors POI Shift

    Can is a Surefire 762SS and the rifle is 24" Rem 700 in a Mcrees chassis. This is my first load for this rifle, but if I remember correctly I have shot this rifle with the can on and off with another bulk loaded ammo and had minimal POI Shift. I will look into it more next time I head out and...

    Keeping Track - Number Of Firings On Brass

    I keep track of mine in my logbook which I made on an excel sheet I keep on my computer. I do all my loading in order. If I am working a load, I will only load what I need out of 100 and the rest stay clean and prepped in the same plastic container with the loaded rounds. When I get to all of...

    Hornady LNL powder drop issue

    Is your tension on the spring too tight? I had issues with mine before and now I set the powder drop to work with the spring off and then put it back on when I am ready. I dont see a problem with loading with it off, but it is just another thing to think about...

    Suppressors POI Shift

    It is a QD can. I worked up the load without the suppressor and this was the first time firing this load through the can. I have fired this rifle with the can before and experienced little to no shift. I am just wondering if there is a specific cause for a certain load to shift and another one...

    Brand of brass, sizing, and accuracy - a question for experienced reloaders

    Not 100% on this, but i would think that there would be different springback rates on those cases. Possibly the Lapua cases stayed where you sized them to, and the RUAG brass stretched back slightly increasing the headspace slightly. The reason I would suspect a tighter group would be possibly...

    Suppressors POI Shift

    Hey guys, just wanted to run something buy you all and see what your thoughts were. At the range a couple days ago I was testing a new load with a 308 and experienced a large (6MOA) shift with my suppressor on. I dont know if this is just with this load, as it is the first time I used it on...

    LMT MWS LM8 20" Stainless: first range trip "RANGE REPORT"

    BM, I think you just need to give it more time. I bought an expensive 308 gas gun also and was very unhappy with my purchase at first, but for whatever reason I kept at it. After about 300 rounds I had noticeable different accuracy. I struggled with the handloading process for my gas gun too...

    Subsonic .308 reloading process?

    I too do not drill flash holes. I treat the brass the same as if it were for supersonic ammo. The standard LR primer works fine for me. One of my 308's run 9.5 of trailboss and it seems to ignite just fine.

    Berry's plated bullets-good?

    NSO is right. I load these plated bullets using lead bullet data and they work great. My go to for 9mm.

    Shooting a gas gun isn't like shooting a bolt action.... Explain this to me please

    You have the key right there IMO Raptor, "unless you are trying to rapid fire". IMO the fundamentals are the same, however I feel that I and others tend to rush shots in a string because you dont work the bolt. If every time you rebuild your position and pay attention you can shoot a semi great...

    Help with subsonic .308 load

    TX, All of those loads IMO could go through a can without a problem. On my track to a sub load I found that most bullets I tried would have a slight offset to it like your original post with the arrow. I attributed this to the possibility that the round was not tumbling, but rather starting to...
