I have a Remington 700 in 308 with a 26 inch barrel with 1/10 twist. I'm looking for a load for the Hornady 155gr ELD-M using Varget powder. Anyone have a favorite load.
I have a 5 gallon bucket that has 3 inches of primers in it. It weighs 10.5 pounds. You won't get rich, but it's better than sending brass to the land fill.
Tried to buy powder there a week ago. Had 3 pounds of AA2230, one had a $35.00 price, the other two were priced at $45.00 a pound. Guy at the register wanted me to pay $45.00 each for the 3 pounds. Wouldn't sell me the pound for the marked $35.00 price. I will never darken their door again.
You can save money reloading, if you are shooting 20,000 plus rounds a year. You have to be ready to buy in bulk when you find a deal on components. Cabela's had CCI primers for sale a couple of years ago, bought 32,000 in one shot. If you are not willing or able to drop a couple of grand when...
I have presses from a single stage all the way to a Dillon 1050. There is no way I would recommend starting on a progressive machine, especially a Dillon 750. Way too many things going on for a new reloader to keep up with. Reloading is like shooting, practice your accuracy and speed will come...
I have a Dillon 1050 and have been thinking about an AmmoBot. Does anyone here have any experience with automating a 1050. Just trying to learn all I can before I spend the money.
What part of north Ga are you in? I have presses from single stage all the way up to a Dillion 1050. I would be happy to give you an intro to reloading.
Precision Delta makes good bullets and their shipping is free. Rocky Mountain Reloading also has free shipping, just bought 21k 9mm 124grain fmj bullets of 7.2 cents each. You can also check Everglades Ammo and Montana Gold bullets. Berry's runs free shipping from time to time if you are looking...
Find a friend or someone close to you and go reload on their equipment. See if it is something you are willing to do. There are people I know who are great shooters, but just cannot get a grasp on all of the reloading steps. I would be more than willing to help, but we are a long way apart. I...
What rifle are you loading for? I have found that XM33 will have varying powder charges, by up to 25 grains between rounds out of the same box. You can pull the bullet and balance the charges and the ammo becomes a lot more accurate. I have also found that if I don't seat the bullet as deep in...
Does anyone know of a company that makes a kit of the needed tools to prep a 50 BMG case? I am looking for a trimmer for overall case length, a flash hole tool, a primer pocket tool, a tool to remove the military crimp from the case, and possibly a neck turning tool. I can find bits and pieces...
