  1. Who has or is using Accurare 5744 or Shooters Buffalo rifle

    I used it a lot in 30-06 (150 jacketed) and 45-70 (405 cast), and have run out. It worked well. I have since been using other powders, but not because I didn't like the 5744.

  2. 9mm reloading help needed

    Could it be the magazine, not the barrel or ammo?

  3. H320

    I just acquired some H320. It is old surplus that was bought in bulk and split up among shooting buddies, dated 12/69. It is good powder, that has been kept in sealed cans inside. The powder looks and smells like it was made yesterday. I can't find any data on it. I suspect it was a...

  4. Powder Storage

    In brass, under a bullet. :becky: Sorry, couldn't resist. Honestly, I don't know the official answer. I keep it in original containers on a shelf.

  5. Hornady SST Terminal Ballistic Performance

    I used a handgun in 7mmBR, a 154gr SST moving about 2000fps at muzzle, shot a doe at around 35 yds and bullet not recovered. The exit, you could stick your thumb in. The doe ran about 24 inches, straight down. So the 7mm 154gr SST worked below 2000fps. I would guess what you are loading will...

  6. Trimming question

    A good rule to go by is to trim all of your brass to the shortest length brass you have in that batch. Same length brass helps keep neck tension equal, which helps accuracy. Especially if you are crimping.

  7. Reloading Apps/Software?

    I have used reloading assistant. Mainly comparing data with books, and determining loads for unpublished needs, such as cast bullets. I do use it as a reference, but use the data with caution as I don't know if it is screened or proven before it is put on the app.

  8. Heavy cast bullets for 300 blackout

    Do the cast bullets cause any problems with the gas system, after a lot of rounds fired?

  9. hard resizing 308

    I have graphite and have used it. It works well. But don't think you won't have to clean after using it. Your fingers will be covered with it, and the necks (and more) of your brass will also be. Both sizing lube and graphite will work. Either way, I would run it through the tumbler again...

  10. hard resizing 308

    I second Handloader's comment. I use Hornady lube in the little tub. I stick the neck into the tub, very little, maybe 1/8 inch or so. Wipe off the outside of the neck, too much and you will dent your shoulders. Just leaving a tad of sizing lube on the inside of the neck. I only do this when...

  11. Good 308 Brass??

    Don't forget if you reload military or surplus brass, you will likely need to remove the primer crimp the first time you reload it.
