How to KILL Disable a Primer
I'd have thought - yeah - drop a couple of primers under oil (not gasoline) overnight. Following day, pull 'em out, swab them 'dry' and just pick out the anvil and the remains of the priming material. -
Trail Boss Trade For H335?
Sadly, the same may also be true of Clays and Universal Clays. -
Looking to buy reloading kit -
I can concur on the value of having a really solid single stage somewhere in the mix. If you end up having to resize rifle brass, you'll need a chucky press for that, and not every reloading scenario is gonna be churning out 500 rounds in one batch. RCBS Rockchucker for the weight and... -
Can anyone identify this projectile?
I guess if you have a bullet puller, whip one of the projectiles out and saw it in half. That jacket looks a bit too yellow to be conventional gilding metal. If it's actually brass, it's possible that the projectile has been pickled. I seem to remember from years ago, in another lifetime, that... -
What caused this?
OK, so the upper part of the case is resized back to 223, the lower part is - what kind of diameter? 223 runs from .376 at the case head, up to .354 just before the neck 22-250 runs from .467 at the case head, up to .414 just before the neck The case head to shoulder lengths are very... -
What caused this?
What are the diameters of both of the sections? Any signs of rifling on the forward section of the case? A 223 jammed into a 9mm carbine with half the case into the rifled barrel and the back half in the chamber? 223 jammed into a 22-250 chamber? -
Need load for 44 mag 1000fps
No way to compute it as far as I know, but you're basically looking for a round that is going subsonic, and as you can see, the 'normal' max speed of the round is comfortably into the supersonic. I doubt if a lead projectile is going to be going 10% faster. Load a set of laddered loads starting... -
Need load for 44 mag 1000fps
Well, it's going to be Hodgdon-product based, but if you go to https://hodgdonreloading.com/rldc/?t=1 and select the Rifle section, they have a load for a 240gr cast bullet that comes in at 908fps using Titegroup and another using HP-38. If you futz around with the calculator you should be able... -
SDI 223 BRASS IS GARBAGE
Thanks for the heads-up. This must be a pretty new manufacturer because I can't find them in what I used to consider the definitive list of headstamps at Cartridge Collectors or the AFTE. I presume the manufacturer *isn't* Sonoran Desert Institute. -
What have you reloaded today?
I built some subsonic 300 BLK with some 265gr Hi-Tek coated boolits over 1680. I was really impressed with the consistency that the powder can be metered, but the suckas wouldn't feed reliably in my AR, which is a shame, although they shot really well from a bolt gun I have. I might have... -
Once fired Winchester 30-06 brass problem
I was given some 30-06 range brass last year that had some cases in there that were a real problem to resize. I tried a lot of different techniques, and a lot of products, and I hate to sound like a product shill but I found that Imperial Wax was the most successful, closely followed by lip... -
What have you reloaded today?
A snack for the Trashrod 100 rds 7.62x54R PPU Brass with Speer #2223 RNSP 180gr over IMR 4064 -
Hodgdon announces another $$$$ increase
Yeah, I mean I looked at Academy for Longshot. None in stock, but if they did have, they want $53. The good news is that you can find better prices: Cabelas $44 Midsouth $40 There are even places out there with lower prices than that. Obviously, if you're having it shipped, you have HAZMAT... -
Anyone have load info on these?
Like so many modern ideas, they were pioneered (sort of) by the British Army .... https://www.royal-irish.com/artefacts/cartridges-and-indian-mutiny There's no report of how people who were shot by the British troops in India felt about it though ... -
Anyone have load info on these?
They would have been great for the upcoming confrontation with vegans too! -
Selling or recycling bulk 5.56/223 brass?
You know that brass has a higher resale value than all those shoes your partner owns? -
Price for processed 9mm brass?
Alternatively, Outdoor Limted has Remington LMRPs in stock https://www.outdoorlimited.com/featured-brands/remington/remington-large-rifle-primer-22622-no-9-1-2m-magnum-1000-count/ -
How many primers do you have on-hand
Well, as I understand it, Lake City don't manufacture primers, so with their 1.6 billion round/year manufacturing capacity, they're going to consume that many primers if they're at 100% production. Given that they're mainly producers of rifle calibers, there go a lot of rifle primers. If the... -
Attention veteran reloaders I have a question!
Don't forget that in future, you have the option of #41 Small military rifle primers. From the specs, they look like they're just a bit harder than standard primers, but sometimes I've seen those when no other alternatives are available.
