    Reloading .38 special SWC target ammo.

    I won many a PPC contest with 3.5gr of Bullseye under a 158gr LSWC out of my M586 6". Now, if you want to go wild....rather than mild.....you can always look up some of the loads from the old reloading manuals and give them a try. Just be careful....... :D

    Best powder for heavy 44 magnum loads

    I know it is a figure of speech but, reloading is no game. An enjoyable and satisfying hobby seeing you are dealing with things that can kill you, your loved ones and other innocents. W296/H110 is by far the best powder for heavy, jacketed, 44mag loads. Can you use it for lead? Yeah but 2400 is...

    Hodgdon "WARNING" About 40S&W

    If you have a firearm with an unsupported chamber, use the slowest powder possible for the weight bullet and you will never have a problem. It is when you use fast powders with heavy bullets that problems occur. Remember though, this problem showed up in Glock's with factory ammo, not reloads...

    Do you have a favorite brand of primers?

    I have used a ton of different primers. From Magtech to Wolf to Tula to Winchester & CCI along with Remington and Federal. For handgun loads, as long as I use a magnum for magnum loads and standard for standard loads, I've not seen a big difference between all of these brands. Well, Federals are...
