      Over trimmed brass

      I have the worlds finest trimmer in a couple different calibers. I have one in 308 that I use on 30-06 brass for dummy rounds. I’m not loading super hot loads. What are your thoughts on firing loads that has the deck trimmed too far? I know too long is an issue because of pressure. But what...

      Speed == Stability

      The website says it wants a 1:9 twist but that's assuming its coming out of a 223. I emailed customer service and they said it might work out of 1:10 because of the extra speed out of a 22-250 vs 223. Sure enough, they are #1 sexy time. I got some Sierra 90gr bullets (#9290T) and my rifle...

      520y shootout

      I've found that shooting shotgun clays that have been set on the ground is fun and challenging it has a flaw. The flaw is sometimes the bullet just POKES thru instead of causing it to shatter. The shooter ends up putting several rounds in it and it never "shatters". Those repeat hits ended up...

      Custom Range Fee

      The less and less I see primers now days, I'm thinking of asking for a 500-1000 primers as a "range fee" to come shoot at my farm LOL!

      Lehigh Defense: Controlled Chaos 62gr

      2021, I'm going to continue the quest for a great round. Right now, I'm using a 69gr match king handload out of a 22-250 at 3,365 fps. The twist is fine, load is great but I'm looking for something different for 2021. I have some 62gr controlled chaos projectiles and i want to try them out of...

      bullet question

      I have about 500 of them. They are in an unlabeled box. They are 200gr billers measuring at .427” Anyone know what they are? or what caliber they are intended for? I'll poke around more in the morning but i'm tired so i wanted to throw this up and see if anyone knows or wants to take a stab at it.

      Nosler 40gr Trophy max RPM

      I've shot some bullets fast enough to cause them to spin apart, exceeding the RPM their structure/composition can withstand. Its quite impressive but not the desired result either. Most manufactures don't list the RPM, just the twist rate (or faster) and typically "no maximum" speed. After...

      Quick Load: Confirm/Check

      I've got a load that works for my rifle and i would like someone with quickload to dbl check the FPS i'm getting. My chronograph is damaged and i'm not sure how much haha.. The point is, in the past, QuickLoad has been within 10FPS of what i was showing on my chronograph so i would like to dbl...

      Ballistic Gel?

      Anyone out here have ballistic gel? I want to try hitting it w/ a couple bullets at 500y to see what the expansion is. I might try water jugs too but that's not as good of representation of groundhog/deer as ballistic gel would be.. i think/assume. I'm looking to test a 300win mag, 165gr...

      PEW PEW! New caliber?

      I'm looking at a new caliber, just for poops and snickers. Prefer bolt action, but AR-15 platform is fine too. For the sake of having the poll in 1 spot, please check it out on my website. https://benspelledabc.me/polls/8/

      Projectile Identificaiton?

      I inherited several of these bullets from my now deceased father in law. They are 357 magnum and too long to fit in a revolver. They work great in a lever action though. He only used two kinds of powder (bullseye and Alliant 2400). I only have 2 loaded rounds left so COULD shoot them thru a...

      brass selection and why?

      Most of the time, I don't give 2 rats ass about the brand of brass i use to reload. i only need to hit a groundhog out to 600 yards and so far i haven't hand a problem doing that with my loads. recently, I've decided to dig deeper into brass processing. covid shutdowns has it's positive sides...

      300blk subsonic (carbine gas)

      Search is slow (virus scan maybe??) atm but I'm guessing someone has had this problem/question already. ANYWAY... does anyone have a load for a CARBINE length gas block 300blk that is subsonic AND cycles your bolt? I'll do my own research and at my own risk but was looking for some potential...

      Short list for invites, 500 yards

      I’m going to make a short list for invites. COVID is still among us so we will skip the hand shake hellos and stuff. The crops in the field will be too tall soon but until they are I’m going to allow people to come out. Ranges will be 5-100 or 200, 250, and 500 yards. After a few...

      Long (ish) range invites

      I anticipated there would be some less than ideal shooting when I brought guests to the farm. As long as it was SAFE, I didn’t care too much. I... am just disappointed that the dueling tree I had for 3 years with no problem got shot up (damaged) in only 5 days of invites, 10 people. Now I’ll...

I'm looking to get a big ol bull barrel threaded. timeline doesn't REALLY matter but would prefer it not tied up for 3-4 months while it waits on the shelf to be done. Anyone know of a reputable gunsmith that can do...

      Tumbler Cleaning Media

      I inherited a BUNCH of reloading stuff a while back and while i'm greatful for the hardware i'm finding there are better solutions that also dont break the bank. I'm not ready to go ultra sonic, wet media blah blah blah. Maybe in time. What i HAVE tried though was just a dry media tumbler...
