I have measured these diameter and height a dozen times and can not see a difference in measurements. What I did notice is that the ginex cup is higher than all other primers. Where other primers anvil is higher than the cup, Ginex cup anvil is even with the cup.ginex left, cci200 right Do not...

Varget, H50BMG, and h4895 are very close. I'd like to know if this "heat of explosion " is correlated to energy potential. I know I can get better velocity from Reloder 33 than H50BMG at the same pressure but RL33 is "cooler " burning than H50BMG on this chart. Also, single based powders hit...

This is all I have on heat of explosion. Maybe someone who has Quickload can share a compilation of current listed numbers.

Looks like CCI to me.

Is it yellow? Or orange? Can you post a pic?

Decap a primer and look at the color under the anvil. Federal is orange for standard large rifle and purple for magnum. Winchester is green for both large standard and magnum.

At one range I go to, I check the garbage can. They throw brass from factory ammo in the trash can!!!! In January when it was -5° for a week I decided to organize my reloading area and gun cleaning room. I had twice to four times fired brass from old barrels from up to 10 to 15 years ago. ( I...

Last week I got in touch with Phil Hoham from Berger/Vihtavuori, he sent me some old stock jugs.

This handsome guy needs to find somewhere else to build his nest. This is the third year I've seen him on his morning perch on the 200 yard target post. Luckily, it's me not one of the other degenerates that might see him. The good news is that a overwhelming percent of people at this range...

A while ago I got 19 one pounders of h4831 into one!

I put electrical tape on the holes right after I inspected the jugs. Today I poured two eight pound vihtavuori jugs in one Alliant eight pound jug. I'm not kidding. I could have fit another pound in there.

I bought three 8lb jugs of n160. Apparently they lost a fight to a forklift. They have pin holes in the plastic. If anyone has empty containers let me know. Thank you very much.

Those are virgin. When I bought these Nosler cases from Midway they sent 3 different lot numbers. That one lot weighed 3.5gr more than the rest...and was 3.5 gr less water capacity. I was wanting to see what the velocity difference was. It was about 35 fps. I shot those for foulers. This is...

Well, it looks like this load is holding repetitively, which is a requirement for my OCD. Lol I could get much more velocity with RL26 or n570 but with the cost of barrel life. This H1000 is cool burning and should be stable for a big temp range. Besides, I have about 75lb I bought during...

The barrel is getting broken in and seasoned. I'm almost done firing virgin brass. Today got out to 200yards with 185 Juggernauts and H1000. In case you are wondering, I adjusted my scope after. When I shoot out my aim point I cant see a precise aim point, lol.

I either forgot or didn't know WA outlawed ARs. That sucks! Aren't they a "commonly used firearm" ?? Is there a lawsuit to reverse or appeal that horsesh!t ??

I've been thinking about this also. I didn't want to say it outloud.

I get sick at my stomach when I see $400 for 8lb of Retumbo. A couple of years ago it was $180. This isn't the ceiling either. Manufacturers and retailers are loving new reloaders who started after 2019.

Two years and ten months ago I bought Rl26 for $24.37 a pound and RL33 at $26.99 a pound from Powder valley! Also, they didn't charge tax either, now they do.

New lapua brass has way too much neck tention. I run them through a mandrel before seating virgin lapua brass.
