I saw on one of the Firearm news sites I go to that at SHOT show Hodgdon is going to start making a pistol powder called "CFE Pistol". It is supposed to be just like CFE 223. Now for the bad news, the guy they interveiwed from Hodgdon's said he thought it will be about a year plus before...

As the sig cases are priced higher than I like, does anyone have any history reshaping the .40S&W case to .357SIG. The way I look at it, it looks to be just creating a neck on the case. Is there a pitfall I'm missing. I'm looking to shoot one of my pistols cheaper than factory ammo will let me.

I can find a healthy assortment of brass and primers locally and on the web for what I reload. But, bullets and powder locally is a joke. My LGS has some IMR powders in stock, but nothing in the burn rates I need. Is it just me, or does anyone see this trend around them( only some components )...

So I have been thinking about the jump in bullet weights in the .300BLK. Low 100's to about 150 and then jumps up into the 200's. I'm interested in finding out if a load could be built using a 180g bullet. Comments, questions, or suggestions are most welcome. The comments are the part I really...

I am just curious as to how some of the other forum members transport a second or third upper with them when they go to the range or shooting events. Me, I'm using a double rifle bag at the moment. The bag I have holds the assembled rifle real well, the loose upper, not so well. The spare slides...

I have brass, primers, alittle powder(h110), and no bullets. I like Nosler products but can't find anything they have listed for this caliber in the #7 Nosler. Anyone know of a source with bullets in stock that works well with this powder. I'm also looking for some W296, if anyone has a line on...

I got to come home form work today to find a S&W M&P .300 blackout full upper sitting on my work bench. I love my wife. And she won't tell me where or how she got it. This sure as hell beats the flowers I had sent to her office. So, anyways, I will post pictures just as soon as I find the camera.

I don't have anything chambered in 40S&W and never have. What I would like to find out is if the barrels of the M&P 40's are fully supported as far as the cases are concerned. If I am to keep with my routine, I would be reloading for anything I bought. I know that for example Glocks chambered...

So, we are having a gun show this weekend here in Norfolk and I'm going window shopping. I just wanted to get this out there for any of the forum members that are close by and didn't know about it. Hopefully the prices are not that bad. Maybe I can find the .300 blackout barrel I'm looking for.

I just wanted to find out about swagging .22 hulls into .224 bullets. I have seen several video's on youtube and am really interested in the up front costs and materials needed to get started.

So, I have been thinking of getting a 300 blackout upper and am wondering about reloading for it. Any thoughts on that? I'm trying to get as much info on this round before I make the leap and buy an upper.

We all have our favorite brand and models within those brands, so lets not get into that can of worms of whats a better press. What I'm asking is how often, how detailed, what types of cleaners, oils, lubes. Any little tricks to get something done easier, faster. Like Me, I use my air...

Jst picked up a 1lb. jg of CFE223 at a gun show for $23. I would be loading Nosler 50gr. ballistic tip in LC brass with CCI primers. They for the most part are going to be used in a 16" barrel with 1 in 8 twist. I have had good grouping with the same brass, bullets, and primers filled with...

Just got a bag of 1000 cases 5.56 cases from a friends dad, mixed stuff. Was sorting thru it and found several Lake City from '73. Just thought it was neat to find brass as old as me.

Ok, so there is a host of info saying that powders, primers, and some bullet weights are interchangable between the two. My question is, would you use a 9mm 115gr HP bullet in a 380auto case? Everything I read says the two should be sized to .356" and the O.A.L. is the largest difference that I...

I just read in American Rifleman, April 2012, Issue, pg. 31, that Federal Premium has a recall on several lots of Power-Shok .243 Win. 80-gr. soft point. It may have the wrong powder in the cases. product number 243AS lot numbers ending in 5T561 5T562 5T563 5T564 5T565 5T566 If you have...

So, as I sit here preparing .223 cases for loading, I'm thinking there has to be a faster way to lube the inside of the neck. I just can't think of it. Been using cotton swaps for awhile now and it is time consuming. Anyone have a better/different method

Ok, this was most likely been covered by hundreds of posts, but why does S&W say in their manual to never cross over 5.56 ammo in a barrel marked 223 rem but doesn't say a thing about 223 rem being able to be used safely in a barrei marked 5.56 nato? Think maybe it has something to do with...

I'm just starting out in reloading( got a Lee turret for christmas) and I got the bug, already have reloaded several patches of 9mm and 380auto with great success. My question is why does the Lee Pro 1000 only have 3 holes in it's turret? I like using the factory crimp die on my 9mm, which the...

She likes to shoot my 15 alot, but now she wants one of her own. But the catch is, she wants it to be a vivid purple. I have done camo jobs before, but don't know where to start to get the shade of purple that she wants. And any married man knows not to upset the better half.
