As you can see QL does NOT match Hodgdon data. If you could post your actual case capacity in Grains of H20 of a fired case that may help bring these two closer together.

That "single charge weight" is Max charge. Alliant recommends you reduce this "single charge weight" by 10% to start. Read here. http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/ ... rtridge=80

Is Nosler 5.56 load data loaded to 5.56 pressures or is it actually just 223 pressures loaded with Heavy bullets? I'm aware that it is not recommended to shoot 5.56 ammo in a 223, so is Nolser 5.56 data Un-Safe to use in a 223 chamber?

Sorry, but this is not entirely true. Not all published data has been "Pressure" tested. Sierra for example has no pressure testing equipment and test their loads the old fashioned way, they guess. Hornady "Pressure" tests most of their loads, but not all, depends on if they have a...

I think pressure data can be very useful for several reasons. One being the use of Quickload. This forum has a lot of QL users and also several members that request QL data. Being able to compare QL generated pressures with actual pressure tested data could be extremely valuable when loading...

Good point, I have asked "why" to most of them as well, no reply except from Sierra. I can answer "why" Sierra does not list pressures, They do not test with pressure testing equipment, so there are no real numbers to list.

Why doesn't Nosler list the Pressure numbers in their manuals? All the powder manufacturers as well as Lyman list these numbers, why does Nosler leave them out? Thanks

I load for accuracy and velocity. I see no reason to load a 30-06 down to 308 levels. If I cannot find an accurate load with top velocities with certain components, I keep working and loading and changing components until I do. It's what I do, cuz I can, that's why I handload. If I wanted...

Your annealing looks fine. I don't use the temp stuff anymore as it is a pain to remove from the cases. I think your neck tension problem has more to do with your Collet die than it does with your brass. The Lee collet die is set up for about .001 neck tension. Many (me) find this to be...

This is the one I use. I use it for all my Handgun ammo and small rifke cartridges like the 223/5.56, 7.62x39 and 221 FireBall. I love it! http://harrellsprec.com/index.php?crn=4 ... how_detail

Why would you have reason to doubt this? The shipping regulations are indeed fact. Western powders gets much of their powder from Belgium. When they run out do to unprecedented demand, it takes time to get on the manufacturer's list and acquire more product. 2230 and X-Terminator have been...

Midway's "expected in stock" is Oct. 1.

6.5- .264, 100-110gr Accubond. 6.5 Grendel hunting bullet.

Has anybody contacted Hornady to confirm? This list is all over the net, along with official looking notices from Hornady denying this. Both could be true, or not.

No, probably not. Stick with your RCBS Comp seating die. The grass is not always greener!

The answer is "They can". They are not magic and cure-alls. You may find magic, you may not.

OK, got it. By all means give the Lee Factory Crimp die a shot. No pun intended. It may indeed improve your accuracy as it does for me. Just don't over do it. To much crimp will decrease accuracy. Start with a light crimp and work up to more crimp gradually.

The Lee expander die is a different animal that the Lyman "M" die that I use. The Lee die is basically a flaring tool with a cone shaped plug that flares the case mouth. The Lyman "M" expands the entire neck similar to the plug in your sizing die and can apply a slight flare to the case...
