A multi year review.
Mono Metal Bullets…A multi year Study
I am always looking for the best mouse trap available. Hunting costs a good bit of money and takes a considerable investment of time; I never want my gear to hold me back. When handgun hunting, I a…

Has anyone compared these 2 powders in heavy, magnum pistol loads?
I am starting to load 454 Casull and have been able to locate N110 but not H110. I know that the velocity will be marginally less with N110 but what about accuracy? That is my #1 goal as this will be a hunting round for me ..read more

I get that reloading components have gotten expensive and I’d bet Dillon still has a 50+ week wait on machines and dies, but why do you reload?
I started in 1995 for something fun to do and was shooting a lot at the time, so it definitely checked off the cost savings box. I made the investment in a Dillon 550 and later traded for a 650 and eventually got dies for almost every caliber I shoot. For a long time it was about being tight-fisted, then I got into creating accurate loads for both...

How To Get More With Less
What’s old is new and new is old. Here’s an old trick you can use to make your round-nosed .22 rimfire ammo hit harder and make it a noticeably better killer for garden/house pests that need dispatching this summer. Equipment is minimal and all you need is a die, a file and some .22 rimfire ammo.

I know I’m opening a can of different worms here so I’ll be clear in that I want night crawlers only.
Specifically corn cob and vibrating tumbler type cleaning. I not at all interested in sonic or rotary tumbling.
Recently my Lee tumbler was laid to rest after 20 years of faithful service. So I purchased a new one, only to want to try something different in the way of brand name. Rockford Armory has as good a reputation. Found a good deal that came with some corn cob media. The issue is, I...

Hi.
I have been using a Lee Auto Breech Loader for my 9mm ammo for a long time. I load the bullets by hand but now I installed a bullet feeder to make life easier. So I thought. When I drop a bullet onto the pan it flips over and is laying there. What can I do?
Is anybody here using the same setup and knows a way to solve this problem?
I would appreciate any help ..read more

So I have loaded Berrys RNPlated .356 at max 4.8 gn of Vit N340, COL 1.142. Verified Avg of 10 rounds 963 thru a 3.1 inch barrel temp 70deg, 29 bar. Also ran 10 rnds Blazer 124 gn thru chrono avg 1020, manufacturer states it should be 1090 so chrono is good to go. Vihtavuori data states thru a 4" barrel should be 1155 for this bullet, powder, COL recipe. the Xtreme is running 848 at 4.4 gn (suggested for N330). So I guess I am seeing slower velocities due to a shorter barrel. What...
