Looks like it passed from what I can tell does any one know when this will take affect.

I have some Gallent 125 grain coated bullets that have to be loaded in 1.09-1.10 range to plunk in my G19. I have some load data that shows Accurate #5 with COL at1.05. I also have HP-38, Unique, and power Pistol powder I want to try. One of my manuals show any data for those powders with a COL any shorter than 1.13. Should I be OK using the data with a shorter COL as long as I do a work up load?

Anyone used Gallent bullets in 9mm? I just ordered 1,000 125 grain coated for $70 shipped ( they were out of 115 grain$66 shipped). Just wondering on were to start COL. I will be using Accurate no.5, Unique, HP-38 and pistol powder is what I have on hand.

Wondering of anyone has had any experience with lead free primers. Anything advice or suggestions for reloading with them? Does anyone carry them in stock around Nashville/ middle tn area?

I'm wanting to load some 300gn, hard cast, Hunter's Supply WFN bullets for my 5½" Ruger. I have Win296, IMR4227 & 2400 on hand, all of which I'm told are suitable powders. I'm really only wanting a load of around 1000-1100fps, so not stupid hot & heavy. I'm really REALLY struggling to find consistent data. Everything I have found is all over the place (literally I've seen minimum loads in one book that actually EXCEED the maximum load in another!) Lots of stuff for 240s & lots for jacketed 300s, but all I can find is forum data from 2012 & older. Not exactly trustworthy......... I'm really scratching my head. Can any if y'all help me here? Please feel free to PM data, if you're not comfortable doing it publicly.

Need to re-stock .30cal carbine. 2 options, same price, PPU or S&B? Have had excellent results with PPU. Also curious about Geco 9mm or a "cleaner" brand than WWB 124 NATO from WM. Burned through over 1200 rounds, no issues though it seems to leave a lot of residue and brass filings. Not particularly brand loyal with most 115/124 available for less than $.20/rouund. Thanks!

What is the good or bad about these "NATO" loads? Any help is appreciated.

I own a Remington 673 in 6.5mm Remington Magnum. From searching all over various online sellers, I can't find anybody who sells this caliber (not even listed on Remington's own website). Any suggestions on where to source some? Or, has it been totally discontinued?

Devastating rounds. Wonder how long these will last before they get outlawed by the government? https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/g9-bullets-review/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=20190311_BlogDigest_320&utm_campaign=/digest/g9-bullets-review/ http://www.g9bullets.com/

Just a heads up, On target in Murfreesboro has their 5.45 on clearance at 3.75 a box for wolf and WPA for 4.99 I think.... I picked up 500 rounds of the black box wolf today.

Can someone tell me what kind of 7.62 ammo this is?

Experimenting with some 125 grain blue bullets in 9mm. Anyone have any experience with these? I have a good load worked up with HP-38 working on one with Accurate No5 and just picked up some Unique. So far I have found that you must put a good amount of bell on the case. These will be shot mostly in a Glock 19, S&W SD9VE and M&P 2.0 compact and will most like get shot from my dad’s hi power and shield.

is anyone else reloading for the 22 tcm ? i have been for around 5 yrs now . so what powders and bullets do you like ?

Just got a notice from MidwayUSA that powder and primers can now be shipped together.

Has anyone here loaded 45/70? I'm trying, but my shoulder is giving out. I'm shooting a Marlin 1895. I'm loading star brass with Speer 300gr HP's, 55grs of Varget. According to Lyman's book top load for Varget is 63grs. I've got a 12" gong at 165 yards that I'm using for a target. I've got it set on two chains from a saw horse. When I hit it, it almost spins all the way around. The rifle has almost dislocated my shoulder. Even after I put a recoil pad on it. No signs of pressure, except my busted arm. Any suggestions?

I am relatively new to this shooting game (started in Dec 2015 with a SR22 Ruger and have added some more 22's and a 9MM and 380). Just saying not much of an expert on anything. A buddy does a lot of shopping online and locally in Sevierville, TN (Smoky Mtn Gun & Ammo, Floyds Golf and Guns, BUD's Guns). He has helped with my ammo purchases above my own shopping. We sometimes share a large quantity purchase from online source to get FREE SHIPPING with large quantity (small quantities ADD SHIPPING and that generally throws price per round way off). Some sites save state tax as well. Anyway, I have a list of book marks for buying AMMO and will present a couple. Just thought maybe condense information. Maybe, someone benefit or provide some good ones from their experience. Target Sports USA (just recently bought some 380 from them - Blazer Brass 350 Rouds at $99.99 (will get $2 per 50 rounds or $14 back via Blazzer Brass Rebate = $12,28 per 50 round box = c$0.246 per round). TargetSportsUSA.com NOTE: Reason I don't like a 380 is AMMO Cost (best deal locally is $12.99 plus tax about $1.20 = $14.19 per box. Palmetto State Armory (friend and I shared a 22LR AMMO some months ago, he buys from them often) PalmettoStateArmory.com Bulk Ammo (I have not used, just one I had in bookmarks) BulkAmmo.com RKGuns (I have not used, my friend has -- they have local TN Stores, so tax I guess is a problem). RK Guns.com FFL Thing: Smky Mtn Guns & Ammo is $10 Fee and $10 Background check. BUD's is $10 if shipping to BUD's in TN from Online BUD's in KY. Save TN Sales Tax on guns shipped from some places. .

No longer content to just sell bullets, Sierra is entering the factory ammo world. I can't wait to try these out. https://www.recoilweb.com/sierra-steps-up-their-game-with-gamechanger-ammunition-145411.html

CCI has announced a few new 22 loads. https://www.recoilweb.com/new-silencer-food-from-cci-145228.html There is a lot more at the link and its worth reading. I'm very interested in the blue nose as I've gotten to where I rarely shoot anything fast these days.

I want to see the numbers on this. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2019/01/21/shot-2019-seismic-ammunition-high-mass-loads/ No way that carries much energy. And two piece cases? Are we just making things too complicated now?

Are people still looking for this ammunition? I am unsure of what it’s worth, don’t ever plan on shooting it so...may decide to sell. This is the 7N6 ammo Obama had banned from importation.

I’m curious about the Whidden blackout trim die. It’s $60 where the Dillon is close to $190 (with tool head). Will the Whidden make the conversion or will a rough cut be necessary? Also need to know if their die will work with the Dillon tool head and vacuum setup. I can’t see any reason to spen $190 if $60 will do.

I'm getting ready to start reloading 357mag for a carbine rifle. I've got some Magnus 158gr JSP's (J-119) and I'll be using H110. Hodgdon's data shows that with a Hornady 158gr XTP the starting load is 15gr and max is 16.7 at COL of 1.580. I think I'll follow this being that it's the closest data to the Magnus bullet I can find. Does anyone load Magnus bullets? All advice welcome. Thanks. Her's a pic of the XTP and the Magnus J-119.

I recently received some empty aluminum 9mm cases in a batch of misc. brass. I don't see why these can't be reloaded, but I've personally never heard of anyone actually doing it. Anyone have experience or potential issues I should be aware of? Thanks in advance. I did a brief search on this but came up empty. My apologies if it's already been discussed.

Hi guys, does anyone reload for AR pistol 5.56? I am looking something with as little muzzle flash as possible. I use IMR-4895 and it is pretty bright out of 10.5 inch barrel. Any comments appreciated. Thanks Mac

Hello everyone. recently I have been looking at the 338 Federal. I am curious if anyone has any experience with this round. From the outside looking in it looks good? Blessings Doug
