Older Reloading Manuals - Safe or not?

[NKJ nut]

I guess you're right, I take anything to do with firearms seriously. And if the information has been provided many times before, again so what. Search functions are only as good as the indexer or search engine developer.
It seems you were the only one that mentioned a problem with a re-hash of the subject.

Lighten up a bit. I'm sure Dennis doesn't see a problem with rehashing anything. Especially a good topic like this one

They're bound to be safe. I'm still using them.

Yes but how do you explain the mushroom cloud over Lake Leon or the fact that you are now sporting a long tail like a monkey, extra body parts and now glow in the dark

Hmmm. It seems I get to add to my "ignore" list.

That feature works great, just don't add all of us to the list

I had so many on it once I thought the forum only had three or four members, so I had to take everyone off of the ignore list and start over

Lighten up on the "Old Man!"

Dennis is OK, take it easy on him. He comes across harsh, sarcastic and mean at times BUT, that's just how he is! I'm just kidding Dennis!

When some of us went AWOL he is one of the ones that sent word that folks were missed, like Sargent Preston and myself.

He just comes at having ammo from a different perspective. We, some of us anyway, are re-loaders, that's him. "Give me ammo for my gun for a certain purpose and I'm happy."

That would never work for some of us though, myself included, we say: "Give me a round that fits in this firearm that is different than the last one I shot in it." Nothing wrong with either as long as we all stay cool about it.

One thing to remember about Dennis, he is a retired engineer and I don't mean the kind that pulls on an air horn chord!

Ok, I never meant for anything to get 'too' negative. But I guess I took the first post of his as an attack - It sure came across that way anyway.
Main thing is info exchanged useful when possible regardless of how many times someone asks the same question.

No problemo, compadre!

PDL,
No harm no foul, friend! If anyone was attacking anyone, it was Dennis on me. We have been through it so many times now that it's like water off of a duck's back both ways. Now, there was a time when................

It's all good now!

p.s. I'm with you on the older manuals by the way, I just have to KNOW!

Skip,

I updated those images you sent me from Speer #5, 6 and 7.

Heh Jessie, there's nothing at all that can't be explained on pp 366-367 of the Speer No. 8.

That is true, and both of us still use that data anyway

I believe I have told the story about one of our friends in NC who went outside one night and saw a shooting star in the northwest. He said his first thought was "MY God Skip has finally blown himself up".

Welcome to the club, PDL. Many of us made this mistake before. We got over it. Dennis got over it too. Now it's your turn.

Cheers,

Mike

A while ago I got a Puma '92 in 45Colt. Guess what powder I christened it with! SR4756!

ROFL!

Jessie, my friend, I'd not think of ignoring you! By the way, how's your backlog? I'm looking at my supplies, and I may need some .358" and .430" Keith-shaped pills to go over massive quantities of SR-4756 in Speer #8 weights within the next couple of months.

I wouldn't ignore you either. Matter of fact if I see that you have posted in a thread I read it no matter what the subject is. So that's as far away from ignoring as it gets

On the bullets you mentioned there is no backlog, as long as you call before someone else sees this

Just teasing ya' I'll hold some for you

 

[38-44HD45]

Thanks, Jessie! I appreciate the compliment. I need to look at my supplies more closely to be sure what I need. I'll be back with you in a few days.

Sorry about the thread drift. Here: Old data rules!!

Same with me!

If I see that you have posted in a thread, I am like Jessie, I'm gonna read it even if it's about a subject I care nothing about! You rock, John!

The reason I check them out is I need training on how to

I have a copy of the Speer #11 manual. It doesn't list C.O.L. for any of the loads.

Were they using SAAMI max cartridge length for the loads that did not have a footnote or were they loading to the cannelure/crimp?

CRICKETS CHIRPING....

CRICKETS CHIRPING....

Sorry, Jake. Didn't mean to ignore you, but I don't know for sure. I have a Speer #11, and I've loaded from it, but I've never paid much attention to C.O.L. numbers except in very specific circumstances, usually with reference to auto-pistol rounds that need to be short enough to fit in the magazine and the right length to feed reliably. If the bullet has a cannelure, I think it's usually safe to assume that it was loaded to the cannelure. For non-cannelured rifle rounds, I've usually used a round of factory ammo with a similar bullet contour/ogive to set up the seater die. What caliber are you working with?

Skip, I'm hurt. I've never intentionally yanked any chains. Well, at least not many...

Oh, please, don't be hurt. I meant it as one of the sincerest compliments. Like learning from a professional!
