    Another Question On Primers for .30 Carbine

    For the most part the 30 Carbine is very similar to handgun Magnum cartridges. While 2400 doesn't require a Magnum class primer the firing pin in the 30 Carbine is powerful and it's also a floating firing pin. You really don't want a thinner softer cup subjected to that. If it were me I would be...

    Murphy's Law

    Did you expect anything different? lol It could have been worse, a primer could have gone off. At least you got all but 2 of the 150 rounds loaded.

    What is this? - Strange bullet like thingy...

    That looks like a Bill Noody's bullet made by Northern Precision with a "base guard." I would love to say I'm smart and know stuff but I saw it in the June 2023 Handloaders Magazine #344.

    M10 Operators

    I agree, A 158gr LSWC over 4.0gr W231. That load is very accurate in all my 38/357 revolvers. That includes a 4" M&P pre M10.

    Self Defense: 357 Magnum VS .38 Special

    It's a shame how only a few people can ruin a perfectly good thread. I decided to close the thread because cleaning it up would have deleted about half the posts and issued several dings. Bickering, insulting and off topic posts are all over this thread. I'm sorry to those who were...

    IMO this thread serves no useful purpose since the complaints are from over 9 years ago.

    Electric auto measure and extruded powder

    Over the years I've heard so many small problems with electronic powder dispensers I have stuck with my Lyman #55 and I'm happy with that choice. I'm sorry I can't help you on this one since I've never bought one.

    9mm with Unique powder

    Just to give you a hand, the newest Hornady manual lists the charge range for Unique with a 115gr XTP bullet as 4.3gr to 5.4gr. They list the OAL as 1.075" who h is probably where the crimp groove sits.

    Self Defense: 357 Magnum VS .38 Special

    My opinion? There are a lot of mistaken assumptions in the OP. I don't agree with a lot of it but we will be civil about this, correct?

    Best 9mm SD load

    There is no such thing as best. All name brand ammo from reputable manufacturers will.do the job IF you do your job. Make good hits, hit what you aim for and you will stop the attack. Now for the real test, the ammo you choose must be 100% reliable in YOUR gun, not someone else's gun. Find an...

    Grandad's 32

    Robert, try again. While there was a major fire back in the 80's those were the "official" records. There were other sources and they are now available for an online request. I know this because I just got my father's records from WWII about a month ago. Try here, good luck... Request Military...

    30-06

    The 30-06 is my preferred "bigger" hunting choice. I agree, A handful of different cartridges are all you really "need" for good hunting but as we know, what does need have to do with it?

    Lyman 358156

    I bought the soft cover because I'm cheap. In retrospect I should have bought the hard cover... :(

    30-06

    They sure are. I bought 6X ammo cans of Greek M1 ammo from CMP years ago. Two of the cans were 192 rounds in the enblocs and the other 4 were 240 rounds loose. I shot the 2 cans which contained the enbloc ammo and stored the rest. I have been loading those 384 cases for many years now and the...

    .44 Special Loads For a Rainy Day

    The original powder trinity is Bullseye, Unique and 2400 and they still work very well after 100 + - years. My powder trinity is a little different, it is: W231/HP-38 W540/HS-6 W296/H110 If necessary in the future I will substitute the newer W244 for W231 and W572 for HS-6. Like the...

    586 nd loadings

    Everything you heard about weaker designed K frames from back when do not apply to the L frame revolver of which the M586 is. The L frame was released to fix all the Magnum K frame problems. Have fun with your revolve without worries.
