Hello 7mmstw... what hand gun cartridges are you working with? Bullet weights. I load hard cast bullets for a few revolvers.. Alliant 2400 is a good powder for full house loads in .44mag and .357mag with gas check cast bullets.. for plain base bullets I usually use something like Unique for...

I wish everyone a happy new year! I wish us all to be safe, never stop learning, keep up the quest for the best accuracy possible, enjoy our hobby of guns, appreciate the small things in this life as they are most important. Keep family and friends close. Make this year the best possible year...

The box of .277 cal 130 grain partitions for $8.99 is accurate. Early 90's? Lol! More like 1980! Primers were .99 cents per hundred. H4831 was 5 bucks per pound. Shelves were full then guys.. I know some of you had to be playing with guns in your teens back then.

An elk will never know the difference between a 140 and 150 grain bullet if you do your part. Experimenting is part of this game though! It all depends on how much time you want to spend.

Oops! Looks like I posted twice.. sorry for that! 150 grain bullets will stabilize in a 10 twist barrel.. the 150grain ABLR bullets may not.. they are pretty long.. A Nosler tech I talked to says they work well in his rifle.. I've shot some thru my rifle and I didn't see much promise. The...

Looks like you are going about things like I do. Hope you find a load the rifle likes. My mod 700 .270 win. has a 22" barrel and 2900 plus some velocities are safe in my gun. The barrels used for the loading manuals are chambered to SAMMI minimum dimensions. The loads in the books have to be...

Looks to me like your going about working up a load the way most would do it. You might find a node the gun is happy with pretty soon. The test barrels used to test loads in the manuals are chambered to SAMMI minimum dimensions. My mod 700 .270 win. Has a 22" barrel and 2900 plus velocities are...

I reccomend you go buy a lottery ticket ASAP! Deals like that are very rare. Nice to see someone got a real deal for once! 😁

Do you have accesss to a chronograph? Are you seeing any pressure signs such as flattened primers or sticky bolt lift after you fire a cartridge? The Hornady #11 manual calls 57.3 of H4831 a max load for a 150 gr. bullet with a MV of 2800 fps. In my experience with the .270 Win. 2900fps or a bit...

Those were the days. It would be nice now just to be able to walk into a store and the things we need and use on the shelf. Here is one I found the other day.

Hand guns are different than rifles..I only want everyone here to stay safe...PERIOD..

We all do what we can to avoid mistakes.. I've been at this for 42 years.. the gremlins can find you..we all do our best to avoid it.. learn from mistakes! If your still safe and good to go, then thats all good!

Hey there gbflyer! What happened to you is no surprise to me.. I once had "help" loading some 7 rem mag ammo... my helper so to speak seated a bullet in a primed empty case. We went to the range and everything was going well until "click". I left the bolt closed for awhile wondering what the...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

I'm right with you Tack Driver! Very good advice!

I agree 100% Makes absolutely no sense at all.. All I can say is, get the most from what you have. It's the only choice you and the rest of us have. Approach YOUR max load carefully and be safe. In my opinion, each rifle has it's own max load.. sometimes the best accuracy is right there at max...

The loading manuals we all have access to are a guide for loading the cartridges we shoot. The test barrels used to develop the printed data are all chambered to SAMMI minimum dimensions. The data in the manuals has to be safe in all guns in any specfic caliber. Some data will indicate modern...

I had the same trouble with some Nosler .22-250 brass once..

I can't agree more with this statement! It's almost like nobody is at home with Nosler... I've been shooting their bullets for 40 plus years now in several calibers as I'm sure all of you have. If I have a choice, I'll buy Noslers.. Lately I've been shooting Hornady bullets with excellent...

Man oh man if that's not the truth!
