      David Tubb High Power Rifle Reloading

      I spent a few days to get through these two video's, but have to say it was time well spent. There are two video's and they both say they are 2 hours long. The second video is really only 1h19m long and the rest is advertisements. My advice is when you see something important to you for your...

      Information on Alpha Bravo Manufacturing bullets

      Good Evening, I just purchased 500 of your .45 caliber 230 Grain RNBB .452 bullets manufactured by Alpha Bravo Manufacturing at The Gun Shop on Easter Avenue.

      .45 ACP large versus small primers?

      Greetings everyone, While reloading some .45 ACP I received from a friend, I discovered some of the cases require a small pistol primer (instead of the usual large pistol primers). How common are this variant of .45 ACP cases? Additionally, has anyone noticed a performance decrease when...

      New to reloading .45 Auto...need recommendations on powder & primers

      Hey everyone I just got setup with a hornady deluxe reloading kit. I have everything I need except for the powder and primers. I'm having a heck of a time determining what primers and powder to get and more so where to get it. I'd prefer to buy local in MD to save on the hazmat shipping...

      Reading pressure signs

      After a reloading session went bad I saved the fired brass and took pictures. I thought this could be a good educational/reference tool for others as well. This is the 6.8 SPC cartridge with CCI41 primer. The 1st column on the left is included as control fired factory loads. The remaining...

      Reloading the 6.8 spc take 2

      I have been reloading and learning and I thought I would share my results with you all. I worked up the loads published either in the powder or the bullet manuals, or in the case of SPEER 130 gr SPBT I used the data published by other reloaders as my maximum loads. All the data have been...

      .458 SOCOM First shots

      25 yards sitting freehand from the bench/table (The first 5 shots can be seen in the target below all were to the right of the orange dot. They were Hornady 350 Gr Interlock FP, using IMR 4198 36.0gr and COAL 2.045.) Now I need to decide on what optics I want to put on it for Pig Hunting...

      Reloading the 6.8 spc

      Hi all, this is the first time I am reloading. I wasn't planning to, but since I built my 6.8 spc and experienced the price of ammo I decided to teach myself to reload. I did my calculations and based on the cheapest 6.8 spc ammo I will brake even my initial equipment investment after I...

      Lee Reloading Stand

      I've recently purchased a Lee Reloading Stand. Quite ingenious for folks with little space. You don't have a lot of surface area, but it's great for mounting presses and is very mobile. I decided to clean off my work bench and dedicate it for reloading, so I'm selling it local for local...

      Reloading and getting started.

      I live in Annapolis. I've been shooting on and off for the last 10 years. I hunted when I was younger but not recently, just target shooting. Thought I would start hand loading my 270 win. I have 2 Remington 700 in win 270 and 5.56 AR, a Remington 597 in 22lr and Remington 870. Seeing as...

      Which caliber to choose? A resource

      I stumbled across this while searching for something else and found it to be one of the best sites for cartridge info that I have ever seen. It may be common knowledge to many of you, but based on how many people are having a tough time figuring out which caliber to build next (I am one of...
