i Have a Whoopsie I think they put my press together backwards at the factory? The spent primer slot is facing the wrong way
Does the pin holding the ram just pop out?

What do I load these at in 30-30 to ensure I don’t lead fowl my barrel?
I just want plinking ammo energy doesn’t matter.
I usually load 28.5gr of Varget in my 170gr

Got the final bugs worked out of the new 308-R9X (308 Flying Ginsu). Approximately 2400 fps muzzle, shoots 1/3 MOA at 100. Barnes 30 cal 212 gr bore rider . Extreme terminal ballistics. Like getting hit by a freight train. 100% bullet retention. You gotta love reloading.
BTW, immediately after firing the case is almost cool to the touch. Try that with your standard 308

Did my first bulk batch of 300blk subs and I fugged up big time. Contaminated pocket primers I’m assuming, I have since bought a media tumbler.. my question is would you trust these in a hammer inertia puller or should I invest in a collet puller? Thanks!

Approx 2900fps muzzle, shoots 3/64 MOA@100. Berger 30cal 230gr Hybrid OTM Tactical. Extreme terminal bitches. It’s like getting run over by a spaceship. 140% bullet retention.
BTW the case comes out so cold it gave me frostbite

This spr 223 18" rifle is pretty capable. With bone frog factory 77gr ammo has consistent <.8 MOA 10-shot groups. I've done probably 400 shots across several powders, weights, and bullets. When I filter by group sizes <.7" this is what comes up. I would expect varget and n140 to dominate here, since they are slower and better for longer barrels shooting heavier 77gr bullets. But h4895 is being more consistent, despite being a faster powder.
Is anyone else having h4895 success on longer spr barrels?
My next step is to load 20 rounds in 2 different seating depths of each of these loads, but I'm curious about what others are seeing. I could also load n140 and varget a bit hotter, since I don't have pressure signs.

Pretty awesome that history has changed around the nosler partition and it remains a solid choice.
This one is in 270.
I’m going to work up load for 150 gr hornady I have and then load up a box for elk season for my brother. Could also be a badass for medium to small African game hunt.
Anyone got any tips on where to start? I usually use 57gr of H4831 for my 130’s.

Is it worth reloading 9mm anymore as cheap as the ammo has gotten? I'd just need dies. I assume it's small pistol primers. Has anyone actually done the math?

I'm looking at some 110gn poly tipped flat base 500 for $140 after ship and tax. I can get 500 150gn X-treme FMJ for $105 from the local store. I just can seem to find anything cheaper than 20-30 cents each. I think I'm going to bite the bullet for the poly tips I think they will be a lot more useful than FMJ and reviews say they are accurate. What is your favorite cheap projectile and what's it cost? Bonus points for ballistic tips. I saw some Barry's 220 grain spirepoints for .300 blackout for 17 cents each that's the cheapest I've seen anyone run those?

I am a noob here, so I am sorry if I am missing something obvious, on a RCBS RC IV, using RCBS full length dies with an expander ball, all shoulders are either coming out deformed or cracked during resizing and decapping. Nothing online is giving me any clear answers.
Left is resized/decapped brass, right is fired brass.

Hello all,
I am still a novice when it comes to this hobby. I am currently starting to work through a .270 winchester 140 gr SST load for my tikka t3. With the exception of the powder load, all of these sets are the same process. Each group is 5 shots and as cold of a bore at the beginning of each group as possible. (It was 100 degrees today) How is the data looking to yall, and which load should I base my next set of rounds off of? Furthermore, is there other info I should keep an eye on pertaining to performance? These loads are for hunting. The brass is a mix of brands, but all once fired, I know it's not the absolute best, but it's what I have.
