Matchkings shouldn’t react to a magnet, should they?
It looks like Lyman’s format, so their newest manual would have it.
Oh yeah. But they were undersized cast bullets, so they just went back in the pot to make some more.
it turns out that a factory crimp die is no good for cast bullets. They were sized to .401, the...
I had to pull about 400 pistol rounds because the bullets were undersized. I quickly realized the hammer wasn’t the way to go, so I rigged up a spacer and used some lineman’s pliers and pulled them...
1000 223 should fit easily in a top loading medium flat rate.
Im pretty sure my 62gr FMJs are seated right around 2.250” so I doubt they’re too long.
I think I’m at 23.5gr, same bullet and powder. I just used 69gr load data for those bullets and H335 for the powder load data, it seems to be pretty close.
But as stated, this powder is notorious...
My eldest son is home on leave, so I haven't done much of anything at all on the bench. I did cast a bunch of bullets for 40s&w and subsonic 300aac, but haven't gotten around to powder coating them...
I’m in for 60ish pounds. Usually it’ll fit in a medium flat rate, which is around $15 I think.
I had a good load at 43.8gr, but it doesn’t group right after threading the barrel and adding a brake. It’s a little better with the suppressor, but way off without. I need to get to the range to get...
I think I remember reading somewhere that that’s what they use in the M118LR round with a 175gr bullet.
There’s no listed data on hodgdons site for it with 6.8spc, but it works well in the others listed, maybe on the faster end for ‘06 though.
I also have another test set for the 308, since it turns out that threading the muzzle and putting the brake on it changed the harmonics enough that it no longer likes the load I had developed for...
Thanks, I just have to try to carve out some time to go to the range and try it out.
I just got my M&P40 slide back from optic milling. I think it's pretty much done, now I have to get a good reliable load worked up for it.
But tonight, I hand out candy before going to a party....
Man, I know you said you won't split. But I'd love to meet up and buy some primers off of you. You could also get in touch with a buddy of mine in Fairborn, he owns a small shop.

I’ve decided to trim down some of my future plans, so my loss is your gain. All brass is either range pickup or acquired from trades. Pics available upon request.
270WSM, 80 yellow brass, 28...
It just made a huge stink and all settled to the top. I skimmed it off when I fluxed.
The plugged nozzle was just from use, I've probably run close to 200lbs of material through it now, so it was...
I melted down the undersized pulls from my learning experience. Something like 500 40cal bullets that got post sized down to .397-.399” by the factory crimp die. Powder coat really stinks when...
Yeah, it’ll be decently over the sound barrier with that load, but it’s a good starting point to work down from.
And an AR won’t really like that bullet profile very well, so it’s good that it’s...
I tumble wet and dry, depending on batch size and how dirty the brass is.
For dry tumble (small lots of semi clean brass) I use corn cob and a bit of nu-finish. For wet tumble (bigger lots or very...
PM incoming.
I enjoy playing video games occasionally, it's a good escape. And if the election year panic doesn't lighten up soon I won't have any components left to load up anyway.
I'm down to my last box of...
