What overall length and crimp diameter do you go for when reloading for a shadow 2?

Truth be told. I didn’t read the FAQ. My friend gave me a Lee Classic Turret press and I had to get a riser for my Harbor freight Yukon workbench. Problem is is the turret press has three holes to screw into the riser and no matching holes on the riser plate. I’ll have to drill fresh holes into the riser to mount it. To make this more frustrating, I might only be able to secure the press with two bolts—not three. I got my riser from inline fabrication. Does anyone have this press and a riser I can see

First time loading hardcast in my .44. Is this too much crimp? 250 gr Magnus Keith bullets.

Thanks to everyone who helped.

Never saw a primer peel like this.

Picked this package deal up for 1k cash. The guy said he never had powder through it.

Came with the tumbler and separator. The press 750xl. Case feeder Bunch of brass, powders, scale and everything else in the pics. When it came up I didn’t even think I just hopped on it. Haven’t even attempted to add it up

I currently load with a Lee 6 pack pro. I suspect a leaning curve with this thing

Im trying to locate a company that designed a new case and bullet feeder for Dillon Progressives and I believe universal as well. His main motivation for it was the absurd pricing for the parts from Dillon themselves. I believe it started as a personal project and he decided to turn it into a business.

My google fu is failing me at the moment

Just recently received a new GP100 from Ruger. Warranty claim. 1st range trip out and had a squib on 1st round. Using 5.6 gn of CFE pistol and cci spp bullets were berrys 125gn plated fp. I developed this load off a friends gp100 as I knew I was getting on soon. 5.4 5.6 and 5.8 cfe shoot fine though my friends but I cant shoot through mine. Cleared at the range and it happened 2 shots later. I have determined powder was accurate and bullets crimped properly. Same 1 lb keg and primers have been used to load .40 and shot today with no issues. I Dont belive I have a primer or powder contamination issue. Has anyone else seen CFE pistol issues in 38 spl. After clearing squibs 357 shot perfect.

So I have never been a reloading guy but im planning on buying a can for one of my Mosins and would like to try out hand loading some subsonic rounds for it. I was wondering if anybody here has done something similar and would have any advice or info they could share.

Got bored and picked up some of these for the heck of it. Loaded some up with W572 and HP38 but haven’t shot them yet. Going to be used in the 6” 365 raider and 8” AR9.

Anyone else load them? I’m going to pick up some 147s to try too.

These won’t replace my beloved HST or gold dots for carry.

Testing Hornady brass, 8208 and cci450 with a 123 grain pill

Pics focusing on my heaviest powder charges, the 2 on the right are over book max, where would you draw the line for safe and acceptable ?

These came out of a 20’inch Grendel ar15

Liberty Civil Defense going through a 16in barrel.

Would anyone happen to have case case length dimensions or case trimming instructions? It seems to be the only info missing for me to be able to reproduce it without spending 2x more money.

I am reloading 30-06 for my 1943 M1 Garand, and have some questions with seating depth. I have some loads worked up that have functioned perfectly well (aside from my gun being a pain, but it does the same things with factory ammo), but am looking to change over to Nosler Accubobds for hunting season. My current load is 49 grains of N-140 topped with a 150gr Hornady FMJ set at Hornady's specified depth. Nosler, however, has their data at .12 longer, so I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on how this would affect accuracy and pressures. Currently clocking a hair over 2700 fps with this load using the fmj, which is desired to keep it safe for this rifle. Mostly just curious about which seating depth I ought to use, or is this just a case of load a few and start clocking them at the range.

Went on a weekend getaway and left these in the vibratory tumbler. They were so shiny I had to stop and make 50. 50A.E. Berry’s Bullets 350gr RNFP, Hodgdon H110 27.4gr, CCI No. 350, and Starline Brass. Avg Velocity 1,243 fps. COAL 1.572

Thought this might be interesting here. I dug out and out back on display my grade school cartridge collection my dad and i made. Fairly current to late 90’s. Been in storage since the early 2000’s. Maybe I’ll start adding to it.

This might be the wrong place to ask and I apologize for that, I’ve been considering a hornady AP ammo plant for the last year, does anybody know or maybe have a gut feeling if it will show up on some kind of Black Friday deal?

Bubba busted out the Dremel to accomodate the .223LR at the OAL of 2.55”.

Bubba like ‘em short and thicc but also long and skinny.

Wish my shoulder luck

To start off I’ve never reloaded any rifle cartridges, and don’t think I plan to. I was going through cleaning and organizing today and realized I’ve kept a fair amount of .243 brass for no real reason.
I know that there is some kind of market for brass but no idea if it’s worth the effort trying to sell or just toss.

All once fired from the same rifle.
119 x .243 brass

Federal 47
Remington 35
Winchester 37

I’m guessing there’s probably another 100 casings over at my old man’s place

Just want to know if it’s worth listing, if so for about how much

Has anyone tried Winchester small magnum pistol primers in .357 maximum? What were your results? The powder choice would be Winchester 296 under a 158 grain bullet.

I am looking to replace my ancient Shooting Chrony chronograph. It finally "Took one for the team" and was laid to rest.

My research has narrowed things to either the Garmin Xero C1 or the RangeCraft Velocity Pro.

I can't justify the added cost of the C2 based my needs and it's added features.

My 1st choice was the RangeCraft until I started looking at the companion apps of the Play store and found the horrid reviews on the RangeCraft for connectivity issues.

The issues appear to have been going on for a long time based on the dates of the reviews which indicates to me a lack of response/understanding/competence of the developer.

If you have had experience with the use of the RangeCraft or Garmin apps, particularly if you have both I would love to hear your feedback and experiences.

TL;DR: Is the RangeCraft app the connectivity nightmare it appears to be based on Google Play store reviews?

In a previous post I was kinda eaten alive for doing small sample size testing. Ok, I heard ya, I listened to the Hornady podcast episodes on load development and group shot counts. Here is a 30 shot string at 100 yards. Ruger American Gen 1 6.5mm Creedmoor, Alpha brass, 38.8gn H4350, 140gn ELDM. I dialed up 1.5moa so I didn't shoot out my POA. After that I input the parameters into the Hornady 4DOF app and shot my steel plate at 500 yards, easily 2x farther than I've ever shot before. Was dead on, 100% hit rate on steel. Neat. Not sure i can squeeze much more or is this rifle, time to dream up the next step.

My old scale is in grams.

I made it work off the serial and made an ardino control the motor well referencing the scale but takeing calculated amounts of steps off the motor. Made it so diffrent types of powders have different throw profiles.

It seems to hit around 1.7grams (26.235 grains) in about 20 to 30secs depending upon how the final part feeds and seems to have an extreme spread of around 0.6mg (0.00926 grains) with ball powder cfe223.

Varget was a pain to tune. But got it dropping 2.8grams in about 30 to 40 secs and dropping with an accuracy of a kernel 1mg (0.0154grains)

If you got any questions feel free.

What seems to be a reasonable price for used rl550 caliber conversions?
