Frustrated with Load Development
oh and as hot as it's been in the last month, trying to keep your loaded rounds at a somewhat consistent temperature will help. If your ammo was taken from a/c house to a/c truck and fired in a short period of time vs your next time to the range the rounds had been sitting in the truck at 100+... -
Frustrated with Load Development
have you measured your chamber and tried coming off the lands and grooves at different intervals. One of my rifles likes the round .005 off and another prefers .014 -
44 mag homebrew shotshell recipe
For those of you that may be interested... I primed several 44 mag cases and used 6.5 grains of Red dot (you can also use unique) then using a piece of a bud light 12 pack container, a spent 44 case, tack hammer and piece of wood I cut out the wads. I placed a wad over the powder using a... -

45 70, the manly cartridge
get a .410 shotgun mop and wrap 1200 or higher sand paper (get it at an auto paint store like PPG) around it. Spray a good quality lite oil on the sandpaper. I use Balistol. Chuck the mop directly into a cordless drill and polish away. 1200 or higher is like using tough toilet paper, it would... -
School me on bullet and powder grain relationship please
Damn if I have a scientific answer. Just follow that manual and don't try to second guess the information in there. If you are just starting to reload you are in for a tremendous amount of "why's". Like why is the same load more accurate with a different primer, why does this brass give better... -
