    Double Tap 40 Super Brass

    For those who load 40 Super what is your opinion on Double Tap brass for this caliber? I prefer Starline which uses the small primer but Double Tap's 40 super brass uses large primers. I've read this caliber has suffered from primer flow but I'm hoping that was early in its development...

    case prep for bottle necked pistol cartridges

    For those who reload cartridges such as 357 Sig, 9X25 Dillon, 40 Super etc.. Do you prep your brass similar to rifle brass and chamfer the inside mouth or do you bell like with straight walled cases? Seems the brass is much thinner so would not support inside chamfering. Just curious...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 21 in 40 Super

    Shot the 40 super yesterday for the first time. Lone Wolf barrel, 22lb recoil spring with 10 round single stack mag.. Geesh this thing is a hand cannon and I did not load em hot. 15 grains of Blue Dot with 135 Nosler JHP running around 1660fps. I thought the 9X25 Dillon was snappy until I...

    Make notes when reloading

    Just a reminder for those new to reloading.. make notes for each caliber you reload and reference those each time you work that caliber. You'll pick up tips and tricks as you go along and will want to document those. The more calibers you reload the less likely you are to remember these for...

    standard primers in 357

    Accidentally primed 200 pieces of 357 with standard pistol primers instead of magnum.. They have not been loaded with powder and I realized this shortly after priming the last round. If I stay on the lighter loads such as 125gr can I get away with using the standard primers or do I need to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 21 spring question

    Guys, I'm about to play around with loading/shooting the .40 super. Probably order the Lone Wolf barrel tomorrow. Have the dies and brass on the way. I've read it's recommended to go with a 22 or 24lb spring when shooting this cartridge. I have a Gen 4 Glock 21 and seems all I've been...

    Forming 260 from 243 or 7mm-08, which is best?

    Which do you guys think makes the best 260 brass besides real 260 brass? I've made it from 7mm-08 and haven't noticed any issues. Today I caught two bags of 243 at Bass Pro and grabbed them up as I remember some make 260 from that. thanks, Gary

    Neck Turning for factory guns

    I'm at the point in my reloading where I'd like to branch out a bit. My question is do you guys think it's worth it or beneficial to outside neck turn brass for factory guns? All my handloads are plenty fine for hunting but never hurts to improve if possible. Also if bullet...

    9X25 Dillon

    Shot my 9X25 Dillon for the first time last Sunday.. Boy was that a fun round and completely lived up to its reputation as a flame thrower and noise maker. Loaded 90gr XTPs using Blue Dot. Somewhere around 1850 fps according to load data. Did not Chrono. Shot from Glock 29 with Lone Wolf...

    9X25 Dillon Headspace Gage

    I've looked and can't find such an animal. Anyone know if these are made? Wilson doesn't make one and I don't think Dillon does either. If not I'll just use the barrel out of the Glock as a gage. Just more convenient to have the gage separate. thanks

    9X25 Dillon and Glock 29

    This may be posted in the wrong area but since those who reload this round also shoot it I'll ask here.. Anyone shooting the 9X25 Dillon in a Glock 29? If so is it fairly manageable? I would guess it's no worse than shooting the original 10mm. Have a conversion barrel on the way and curious...

    Nosler Accubond in .264/6.5mm

    Why are Nosler Accubond bullets in .264 so hard for suppliers to keep in stock? Are they that much better than partitions? Midway was out of them for several months, got a batch in and now they are gone again. Maybe Nosler just doesn't make that many in 6.5mm? just curious. thanks

    Suppressors New gun or thread barrel

    Been wanting to try a suppressor and currently have a CZ 455 in .17hmr. This rifle has had maybe 30 rounds through it. Would it be best to have the barrel threaded or simply purhcase a suppressor ready .17 such as the one from Savage? Thanks

    260 Brass made from unobtanium?

    Why is the standard 260 brass impossible to find? I see backorder dates for it continue to move later and later into the year from Midway etc... Who is buying all the 260 brass? thanks, Gary

    making creedmoor brass

    Been experimenting with making Creedmoor brass with varying success. Even though 260 brass is more rare it seems to bake the best Creedmoor however I've experimented with necking up 243 after reading it could be done however I've only succeeded in crushing the shoulder down creating a wrinkle...
