Re: Chamfering & Accuracy

Whether or not you see a change in accuracy, will depend on your ability as a shooter and hand loader. Seating the bullet straight is the goal. Flat edge to flat edge, is the hardest to seat.

Chamfering & Accuracy

Curious if one would see an appreciable difference in 300 blackout accuracy by chamfering all cases? Debating whether or not I should add chamfering in to my reloading process.

Re: Pursuit of an inexpensive accurate super bullet - 125 tnt speer

Just swapped out the barrel to a 8.3” BA Hanson; so, working with limited data too. Curious if most folks find accuracy loading these bullets a bit hotter.

Probably wont be using cast bullets. What I have is about 1000 rounds of the Berrys 220 grain bullets that are copper coated. Will be u...

Delving into sub-sonics

Good afternoon! I have a DA Nomad 30 in jail currently, but should be coming soon and I may be visiting it at my transferring dealer’s range once I get my taper mount in. Im hoping to get recommendations on a solid performing powder for subsonic rounds. I have alot of W296 that I use for supers but ...

Re: Ejector Smear - Overpressure?

Haven't heard back! Im guessing I should just back it off to 17 grains. Anyone top out at 17.4 grains in their semi auto rifles?

Carbine Buffer - I am running a Law Tactical Folder on it too.

Not sure of the gas port size.
