  1. 3031 in .243?

    Hi all. I’m unable to purchase .243 factory ammo and unable where I’m at to purchase the correct powder for reloading my .243 shells. I use 80 grain Sierra boat tail soft points and mostly for hunting coyotes. The only powder I currently have on hand is IMR 3031 but I’ve heard that burns too...

    Powder Sentry

    I found this guarding my powder hopper today. Looks like he’s got everything under control for now, so I left him at his post.

  3. *DILLON DILEMMA* Version 2

    To all that replied to my earlier post, thank you so much. I’ve received excellent advice, and I am so glad that I posted here before purchasing anything. To recap, I shoot USPSA and 3 Gun, and I’m looking to load bulk 9mm now and add on .223 in the future. Per advice from the previous thread...

  4. *Dillon Dilemma!* Advise and suggestions please!

    I shoot USPSA and 3-gun matches religiously, and I’m looking to reload bulk 9mm and then add in .223 sometime in the future. I plan to deprime with a Frankford arsenal hand de primer, wet tumble with stainless pins, then load in the Dillion 550. I have access to everything I need to pour and...

  5. Load Variation in a Dillon

    I've discussed the variation of loads in a Dillon with a couple friends lately. That got me to wondering about testing just how much mine vary. Then in perfect timing, one of the articles in Dillon Precision's latest catalog was explaining a test they performed on comparing powder charge...

    Hornadys new Measurement Station

    Thought this looked pretty interesting, weight is 8 pounds and has leveling feet. Just thought it looked interesting for comparing ogive, headspace location and bullet to ogive location. Anyone seen one?

  9. New to Giraud, have question...

    So I am new to giraud, have a few quick yes or no questions. 1. Feel slight, slight, slight burrs when done. Is it acceptable to give a quick wipe with some fine steel wool to smooth out case mouth? 2. If I rotate a trimmed case on calipers, it varies by .0005, I assume that is more...

  10. Is ultrasonic cleaner the way to go?

    I currently use a traditional tumbler. But it seems the rotary tumblers and ultrasonic do a much better job. Not cleaning large volumes or brass. May be 100 lapua cases at a time after a BR match. Any advise? I like the idea of it not taking 3 hours and having to deal with all the...

  13. 300 PRC Load

    Let's talk case prep

    Full length resizing case prep Discussion: How I do it. First after returning from the range I check the head spacing, after that I will lube and full length resize and de-prime in one step. Second, after I have resized I chamfer the mouth and neck then get the lube off by tumbling in media...

  16. Bob Green comparator review

    Just got it in the other day. Sorted about 150, 6.5 Berger’s Gotta say. Very impressed. Even with Berger’s, there was a pretty substantial range of .002 And I had about 3 that were wildly off. Very misshaped. Took several readings and the bullets were off .010 from one side to the...

  17. Bto. Beating dead horse

    I know I’m beating a very dead decaying horse. Measuring bto. I only want to know ONE thing. I have heard the bearing length arguments, the weight arguments. My one and only question is, I have had Berger’s that varied in bto length by up to .004. Not common, but they did. So I know...

  18. Powder charge, winter vs summer nodes?

    I don’t do much cold weather shooting. Last summer my accurate node was 40.5, about 80-85 degrees, probably humid. Yesterday it was 50 and cloudy. I noticed I was at 42.5gr can it really change by 2 grains due to temp? The only other change I made was from Hornady to lapua brass...

  19. Adams trickler (static) problem? Maybe?

    So I went to do some reloads the other day. Loaded up the auto trickler and my powder drop. And after dumping the powder, the trickler started up to trickler the remainder. But even tho loaded with powder, the motor kept turning and turning. So I emptied it, blew down the tube, shined a...

  20. Which light small press for range reloading?

    I have been up in the air asking around. But wanted to get a general consensus. What is a good press for full length sizing at the range. I really want something smaller and lighter. As of right now, the only thing I can think of is the harrels compact and the rcbs partner. I wish I...
