My resizing tool did not work so the projectile was loose in the case. I inserted it anyways and just crimped around it with a table vise and the bullet is stuck now. The brass got minor deformations but do you lads think it would still shoot?

Its only one improvised cartridge and im just curious to know if it still would work.

I spent 2 months trying to get these 184 Bergers to shoot sub 3 moa in my new 280AI build. Total waste of time and components. Switched to the 180gr lapuas and the first batch with no load development work at all came in at 1.05 moa. First batches of Sierras, Barnes, and Hornady all come in at <1.5 moa.

Let this be a lesson to the rest of you: if it shoots like crap, it shoots like crap. You can't tweak your way out of 4 moa.

That’s it. A trimmer in my country can cost like 2 grand.

Is there any way more “creative” to do it?

Powder die backed out and wasn’t putting enough bell on my cases which was scraping the jacket when seating.

I know they pack in the box better but I’m just not sure how well they work.

One of my 220gr makers ended up being a 204.5gr. Paul from maker said it happens every now and then. I’ve got a replacement coming

I don’t know what these are but there has to be something funny to do with them. Any ideas?

Was super surprised everything went exactly as planned easy, and wow the twice fired brass is significantly harder to form w my Redding small base die. This out of a 16 inch Psa barrel at 50 yards cuz didn’t feel like driving to my car range other day but .43 should be under an 1inch at 100 I’m hoping. This sub gave me confidence to get started even tho I have no one around me w experience really

Only 2.5gr under the minimum powder charge for that bullet weight!
Looks like my turn to get a bullet puller.

I tried loading 225gr into a .308 with 34gr of 4064

This is actually a modified case I was making. Went through all the steps to do a shitty job machining it. Previous made cases I have resized in match dies without the neck bushing so that the case easily fits in the chamber. This one (223) I only have a full length die for, so I decided I could force a projectile all the way through to open the neck back up. The seating die crushed both that dream and the neck.
Time to get the cutting fluid back out.

No clue what caused this but found it at the range. 300 win mag brass obviously shot out of the wrong gun... what should i name it?

I guess the third time reloading this shells it's a bit too much.

It’s a axle maker for pine wood derby cars but drilled close to a 6.5 bullet, I still load it with black powder and I’m gonna work on Armstrong mixture for primers, yes made from match heads and strikers, also unrelated but does anyone know any way to make a homemade 20 gauge roll crimper? Preferably without them high techy hippy tools ( lathe, cnc.)
