    Crushing powder when seating

    (First post) I am reloading for 308. 208gr hornady eld with Reloader 15 using the hornady reloading manual. About halfway through my powder charge increments, I started hearing a crunching sound as I seated the bullet. I was seating to the same depth, and obviously more powder takes up more...

    Reloading Virgin

    I’m looking to get into reloading in the future. I’ll be starting out with my .300 win mag. I want to use 200-230 gr ammo. Can anyone recommend the best supplies and equipment for me? Every bit of information helps.

    DIY 3D Printed Bullet Feeder (credit to AmmoMike83 over on Thingiverse)

    First things first, this is not my creation, I am just spreading the information. With the sinking cost of 3d printers, it is becoming more advantageous for us DIY types to make the things we need instead of buying them. Don't get me wrong the Mr. Bullet Feeder appears to be a great product...

    308win 190gr SMK

    I have a R700 20" 10 twist rifle....i developed a 190gr SMK load using 41.9gr Varget, Fed Gold Primers, and Hornady brass....I am averaging 2390fps. It groups sub-MOA. Here's my question: is 2390fps "fast enough" for a 190gr SMK? My rifle seems to "like" the 190gr more than the 175gr, but I am...

    Inconsistent Results with Same Charge Weight

    Hey guys, I'm developing a load for my 300WM. Currently working with Hornady brass, ELD-M 208grs, H1000, and Winchester primers. During my initial ladder testing, I found 73.5, 74.5, and 77.0 to be the best charge weights. But, when I loaded up two, 3-shot groups for each of those three weights...

    Gunsmithing What is the purpose of annealing casings?

    I am new to reloading and am looking into making 300 blackout casings from 5.56 casings and I tried to do some research on the topic but as all things of this nature I got many different answers to the same question. Some people say that i need to anneal my casings while others never even...

    Light primer strikes with crater?

    At the range today, I noticed quite a few of my fired cartridges had these light (ish) primer strikes with craters. I’m using a howa 1500 in 6mm CM and using Starline small primer brass, Winchester small primers and Hybrid 100V, slightly higher than medium charges. The pic has what looks to be...

    Range Report New to PRS, 6.5creed load data seeing if people have similar results

    I recently got a criterion remage barrel, heavy varmint, 26”, 1:8tw, stainless. As I have been finding different loads, I noticed any 140gr bullet shoots lights out with 42.1gr of H4350. Berger VLDs, Nosler RDFs, ELDs, hornady bthp all can use this load and shoot half MOA. Velocities are...

    Nonsensical Headspace Measurements on 223rem cases...??

    How would full-length sizing a case increase the headspace measurement on a .223 case, and charging/seating/crimping decrease the headspace measurement?? This weekend, I started taking headspace measurements on some 223 cases in my stockpile in various states on the way to being reloaded, in...

    6x45 or 6.5 Creedmoor

    I'm interested in purchasing my first bolt action rifle. I have it narrowed down to the factory rifle (Savage B10 Stealth Left Hand). I am debating between choosing my first chambering: 6x45 rebarrel or 6.5 Creedmoor. I could get the .223 and rebarrel with a Shilen pre-fit chambered for 6x45 or...

    Suppressed vs. Non - Suppressed

    May be a stupid question, but this is meant to be the place to ask, so here goes... I recently worked up my first load for my precision rifle, and did so without a suppressor. Every now and again I do like to shoot suppressed, so my question is, will shooting suppressed affect my load? Or...

    I need some experienced .45 acp loader advice

    Ok, so I'm looking for a new load in my hk45 tactical. I'm looking for a load that is kind of a jack of all trades. I want it to be a 230 grain plated ball, using titegroup and maxing out at 4.7 grains. I've had bad luck in the past, and I want this to be a pleasurable gun for others to shoot as...
