    How Flat Are These Primers?

    Awhile ago I did an OCW test across a wide range of charges and eventually settled on the load I have now. Wondering if I didn't miss some pressure signs back then though so looking for another opinion. When I did the OCW it was pretty cold so I was leaving the ammo inside, then shooting...

    Help develop a new load. How do YOU do it?

    Wouldn’t pressure and velocity somewhat correlate? I was going to run a chrono for those too. It may not work but for 20 rounds I was curious to at least experiment. 👍 Also I’m far from an experienced reloaded so my results may not be good to take as a data point anyways. Just went to dump...

    Help develop a new load. How do YOU do it?

    There's a running thread on rokslide with some guys just finding pressure, backing off, and then shooting a 10 round group to see what they get. I think I'm gonna try that for my 30-06 and see what I get for comparison. I'm not a benchrest shooter so if I can get 10 round groups that are...

    Kraft Data Driven Training: Try This

    Meant to add the setup pic. Used the tree, planter and the mat cuz I don’t like laying in snow…. The tree is 97 yards if it matters… Also anyone want to buy some trigger sticks 😂

    Kraft Data Driven Training: Try This

    First standing and kneeling (primos trigger sticks sucked). Ditched em and used a tree and a planter pot for the rest and did better than I normally did. Picked up some good tips from the modern day sniper podcast about basic positioning etc. still coming 4-5 mils up from recoil so obviously...

    Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

    Last light outside the house at just under 250 yards... borrowed a throw pillow from the couch to use as a rest. I thought the 50gr varmint bullet (whatever is in the AE tipped varmint round) would do more damage but I couldn't even find an exit wound. Hit just above the front shoulder on the...

    Powder funnels

    I've got plenty of time to tap while my CM lite throws a charge (On a separate table). I could definitely see a value to that though if you're cranking out rounds or have already upgraded some of the other stuff.

    Powder funnels

    Makes sense. I will occasionally get 1 kernel that wants to stick, but usually no issues loading brass. When I go to pour powder back into the jug is when I see a lot of static. Not sure why the difference, but can usually shake almost all the powder off.

    Powder funnels

    Potentially dumb question here out of ignorance... What is gained by the nicer funnels? I'm using the plastic one that came with an RCBS kit, and while cheap, it does seem to effectively funnel powder from my scale into the brass... Also feel free to ignore the question so that I'm not...

    Anyone have a Redding T7 press they want to part with? I'm in Southern WI. Could trade a rock chucker supreme and cash or maybe some IMR 4064/4895 too.

    30-06 Length For Savage - Short(ish) Chamber?

    Being home sick the last few days I finally got some time to load up some rounds for a Savage 114 American Classic - Stainless in 30-06. 22" 1:10 barrel. While trying to determine a starting point for COAL/CBTO I ended up with the rounds significantly shorter than I thought they'd be and am...

    6.5 Creedmoor 147 Gr ELD-M. RL16, RL26, H4831SC, H4350 Test and Data

    Old thread but my .223 T3x is a little snug both closing AND opening the bolt. LC Brass at a variety of charge weights. Settled on 24.0g of N140 with 77gr SMKs. No other pressure signs so I'm guessing similar to the poster above that the brass is slightly thicker or sprung back a hair more or...
