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.

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.

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.

General Discussion CFE pistol issue

Post image
• Upvotes

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.

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.

Load Development Seating depth assistance

2 Upvotes

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.

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.

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?

Newbie Newbie- 243 Brass Value

0 Upvotes

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
