      375 Raptor

      I’ve been reloading for about 4 years or so. I reload every caliber that I shoot. I rarely buy loaded ammo. With that said, I just completed a 375 Raptor build on an AR10 platform. I loaded about 20 rounds and shot them this weekend. I experienced some blown primers and other high pressure...

      All things 350 Legend

      I picked up a 350 Legend a few months ago. Since then I’ve been researching load data. I have a Winchester 145 grain pills that I’ve been loading. I’ve been using H-110 & Lil’ Gun. I also have some dedicated 170 grain something, but the exact manufacture escapes me at the moment. They have a...

      Herter’s Hulls

      In my range dumpster diving for suitable hulls I have some Herters in my bucket. I discarded but then retrieved them from the trash because they have the same plastic feel as the Winchester AA’s and Remington STS. Those are now my preferred reloading hulls. I have the 5th edition of the Lyman...

      Subsonic 308 with no Trail Boss

      I’m seeking alternative subsonic load data without Trail Boss. I don’t have any on hand and none seems to be immediately available. My research has revealed that fast pistol powders or slow burning shotshell powders are possible. If I am incorrect in any of the information noted, please correct...

      Belt attachment options

      I’m seriously considering a Taccom3 12 shell holder. Price was the deciding factor. Im using a Black Scorpion belt. How would attached the shell holder to belt? Are the TEKLOK, TMMS, ELS, basically the same? I can use any of the previously mentioned options. Any advantage of one over the...

      Gas Checks

      I purchased a Rossi 92 Lever action rifle in .357, with a 16 inch barrel. I'm using lead SWC bullets. Ive been trying to zero the Vortex Scout scope that I have for the rifle but have been having problems. I used a lapping tool to determine that the rings are straight on the rifle. I can hit...

      Customer service

      I have a Walther P22 that I’ve had a for a couple of years. It has less that a 500 rounds or so. I stopped shooting it because one day at the range the safety lever came apart on one side. I emailed the company’s customer service requesting the parts. This was during the pandemic, April/May of...

      Clean your dies

      I recently obtained a suitable full size 9mm platform. I started loading more 9mm rounds than I had in the past. I was having some bulging issues and my cases not “plunking” in the case gauge. I thread jacked another thread (OP of that thread, again I apologize) and some members mentioned...

      MEC bushing trade

      I have duplicate MEC bushings in sizes 28, 30, 32. I’m hoping to trade for bushings 34, 35, 36, 37 or possible others. This trade could take place in person or by mail. Mods, I also posted a similar thread in the want to trade section. Please delete if this is an issue. Thanks

      Browning or Beretta

      I’m considering an over/under and wanna see how they feel/fit. Has anyone seen a Silver Pigeon or Cynergy local to Baltimore county without driving to PA? Looking to drive about an hour or so from Baltimore county to handle either of these.

      Pistol Red Dot

      Just got a Vortex Venom. What are preferred set ups when zeroing in the red dot. I don’t know, what I don’t know. I’m looking for pointers?

      Update on spotting scope recommendations

      I’ve used the searched feature and was unable to obtain the info I was asking. I’m seeking a spotting scope that I can see .22LR holes at 200 yrds. My budget would preferably be under $500 for starters, if possible.

      Major & Minor

      Can someone steer me to a useful link that explains this for IPSC and other organizations that use this classification? Am I correct in my understanding that nothing in 9mm will meet the major classification?

      Primer performance

      I’ve been loading since March. I used the search feature and didn’t find this specific question. I’ve been using reloading consumables that my father used. He reloaded since the early to mid 90’s. I’m curious about some of the leftover primers that I have. They all seem to go bang but with...

      Shooting suppressed

      I’m curious. Why does one shoot suppressed? I tried some 210grain 300BO with a max loading of 9.2 gr of Winchester 296 out of a 10 1/2 inch barrel. A round failed to lock the slide back on the last round. I’ve read that this sub-sonic round has similar ballistic energy of a .45 ACP. Seems anemic...

      Primer or powder

      As I learn this reloading obsession, I’m beginning to take in small observations while at the range. Since reloading I shoot a 10 1/2 inch 300 blk AR pistol and a 16 in .556 AR. I’m noticing “dust” on the table after shooting. As I learn, could this dust be unburned powder? This observation...

      COAL

      I acquired some .308 Speer TNT 125 HP. I loaded 10 test rounds. Using Winchester 296 with 15.7 gr. The COL is 2.060. The bullets were barely in the cartridge. I get to the range today and load the mag and and the two bullets come apart. I crimped them (Factory Lee Crimp Die) but I'll assume...

      Gunpowder registry

      Curious if anyone is aware if their is a registry that suppliers notifying state officials for bulk powder purchases? I’m enjoying the freedom of amassing, not stockpiling, consumables. Where do I find local ordinances for limits on flammable materials for Baltimore County?

      I can’t be the only one?

      Am I the only one who gets on his hands and knees when I drop a primer? Are there any tips or tricks that you use to make easier to retrieve or prevent them from being dropped in the first place?
