What have you reloaded today?
Rain, Rain Go Away I’ve been reloading and I want to go out and play. Loaded 60 rounds of .308 subs today. .300 blackout tomorrow. -

What have you reloaded today?
Yeah it is gusting 15 to 20 right now and they are calling for gusts up to 50. I've battened down the hatches and maybe by the end of the week things will settle down. -
What have you reloaded today?
I wish the wind would die down up here so I can test some .308 sub loads I loaded a few weeks ago. Seems it’s either raining windy or both. -
Reloading for 308 win SA
If you buy unfired brass it will most likely be SAAMI spec and you will not need a small base die or shoulder bumping. However bulk fired brass (especially military such as LC) may have been run through a machine gun that have looser chamber tolerances and allows more case expansion. I have an... -
What have you been doing at the bench today?
Loaded some new .308 sub loads to try in a Savage 10 Hornady 180gr BTSP 10.5 gr Trail Boss 2.65 c.o.a.l Hornady 180gr BTSP 8.5gr TiteGroup 2.65 c.o.a.l Does anyone have a good .308 sub load for bolt gun using 165gr BTSP? -
What have you been doing at the bench today?
Yes vey much so. I’ve tried several loads with CFE BLK and H110 and by far the most consistently best groups have come from 1680. I am new the sub reloading scene so I am by no means an expert. I think for .300AAC 1680 is a very versatile and will be my go to powder. -
What have you reloaded today?
Some were decapped and some weren’t but none had crimped primer pockets and all were boxer primers. -
What have you reloaded today?
That’s what I was guessing. Thanks for the clarification. Definitely have to use a little muscle and extra lube……..that doesn’t sound right does it.…..😆 -
What have you reloaded today?
Thanks. Glad I’m not the only one. Others have been tight but LC seems to be the worse. -
What have you reloaded today?
I’ve been processing a lot of older brass and noticed that Lake City (LC) head stamp .308 brass has more swelling at the base compared to Nosler, WWC or others. Is this because it might have been shot through military weapons (M-60) that may have looser chamber diameters allowing the swelling... -
What have you reloaded today?
My RCBS FL .308 Dies were not completely resizing some of my brass so I bought a set of RCBS Small Base .308 dies, used extra lube and the cases now fit in the chamber gauge perfectly. Loaded 50 rounds of .308 subs using 8.1gr Trail Boss and 147gr FMJ. -
Buying Reloaded Ammo?
Back in the summer when I got to the range and an older guy was getting ready to leave. He asked me what I was shooting, I told him .45. He smiled and said “here you go” and gave me a handful of .45acp. I politely thanked him, took them home, pulled the bullets, dumped the powder and set them... -

Small-Base Dies - maybe it's me? RESOLVED!
I’ve used RCBS for over 30 years and learned how to reload on my Dad‘s 50 year old RCBS equipment. I’ve never had an issue with their products and I’m glad they took care of you and made it right. Nobody can be perfect every time, but everybody has a chance make things right when they not. -
What have you reloaded today?
Loaded 500 rounds of.45ACP using Berry’s 185gr HBRN and 5.2 gr of Tite Group. -
Small-Base Dies - maybe it's me? RESOLVED!
As Palmetto stated no where near that much pressure needed. I use RCBS and have never had a problem. Hopefully it was just a bad set that got by QC and they’ll send you a new set, -
I am this old….
Ahhhh the good old days. Can’t believe we’re paying $89 for a brick and happy they’re back in stock. Get them while you can because I don’t believe they’ll be going back down. -
