    Issues with Lantec Ebcg not going fully into battery. Suggestions?

    Hey People’s, So I purchased one of the more expensive Lantec EBCG TiN coated ones, their most expensive ar15 bcg during one of their crazy 50% of sales. It feels and looks great but it just doesn’t function very well in most of my rifles. If the rifle and bcg are spotless and oiled up good...

    Looking for 44 mag projectile recommendations. Target / fun

    Hey guys. I am looking for some interesting bullets to load for my 6.5" 629 classic. I've never reloaded 44 mag but given I don't shoot it a ton I thought it would be nice to pickup some random style bullets to try and load up some small quantities. I actually know very little about 44 mag in...

    .308 loading questions (dies and neck size bushing stuff) need advice

    Hi, So I am finally starting to get into loading for the .308, in the past i've stuck with easy cartridges like 223/300blk and pistols. For 308 I want much higher expectations to get the most out of my JP barreled semi auto. That said, when I went die hunting I was surprised to find out...

    Help with chrono data / advice please.

    I made a post a few weeks ago after my first time using a caldwell G2 chrono (upside down version with LED lights) and got some suggestions that I tried today.

    LF Advice. 300blk 225 grain ELDM using CFE BLK. Compressed load causing bullet deformation

    So I recently worked up a ladder load using CFE BLK and 225 grain ELD-M’s for my 8.3” AR 300blk. My load range was 10.5-11.5 grains of CFE BLK. When I chronographed the loads the 11.5 was the best with a very low spread and about 1050-1060 FPS. So I went to load some more today and noticed...

    Hi all, I’m looking for more affordable 300 blk bullets to load subsonic and am not having much luck.
