    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    I answered a phone call from my brother. "I can't find H4350 for my 66 gr 140 gr NBT 7mmRM load. Can I substitute AA4350?" I used Quickload and told him "Reduce to 65 gr for the same pressure and velocity. "

    300WM Question

    I hit a running buck with a 125 gr nosler ballistic tip bullets with a Krieger barrel on a Mosin. The deer went bang flop. I own a lot of 300WM rifles and have a lot of bullets. I am not convinced I need more than 125 gr for deer.

    Jeeez Louise. Where are all the reloading supplies and factory ammo disappearing too?

    g26 blew up on my hand today

    918V has been make succinct posts since the earth cooled. My 1993 Glock 19 9mm has a case support of 0.190" with a case web of 0.160", leaving only 0.030" of thin unsupported case wall to form a case bulge. This or better is representative of most other 9mm brands of pistols . My 1992 Glock...

    g26 blew up on my hand today

    A friend of mine sold me his Taurus 357 mag revolver. The inside of the chambers did not completely clean up when they reamed them. The result is that cases will stick with 357 mag loads... but not with 38sp loading. Now I have lots of Colt 38 specials that I shoot with 357 mag loads and one...

    g26 blew up on my hand today

    I have bought hundreds of guns to test for overload work ups. But I have only bought 3 glocks; 9mm, 40sw, and 10mm. But I have a lot of 9mm pistols. Glock, like other 9x19mm pistol manufacturers seem to have feed ramps that intrude no more than 0.180". 9mm brass has 0.160" thick webs, making...

    Alliant Powders

    I go around asking how anyone has not bought a lifetime supply of reloading components....... and then I order barrels 5 months before hunting season and barely make it.

    Ever Break A Resizing Die?

    I broke a rockchucker press 20 years ago, and they sent me a new one. I was max force on top dead center with an 8mm Lee collet die [should have read the instructions]

    Reloading Spreadsheet

    When I started reloading in 2000, I did overload work ups to destruction on every 9mm bullet and powder combination. I had previously used a spreadsheet for calculating the electrical and temperature stresses in 2000 of the different components in the Tornado jet fighter radar warning system...

    seanh g out of battery is a known issue, especially with reloads. As you can see with the factory Glock Barrel it doesn't take much at all I added night vision to your pic and added my old pic from years ago.

    Gunsmithing Winchester Model 70

    I like rebarreling 98 Mausers and Rem 700s the best with no extractor relief cut. At least Win M70 claw extractor relief cuts are easy, but require a mill. Old video of mine showing cutting M70 extractor relief cut in new barrel

    Gunsmithing Lathe and mill suggestions

    The reason for getting a used gunsmithing size American mill is that industry is surplussing so many of them. The reason for not getting a used gunsmithing size American lathe is industry is surplussing so few of them. If I spent $4k 11 years ago on a lathe and rebarreled 40 rifles, that is...
