    Reloading Question regarding 410 and 45 colt

    I have a judge that shoots 410 and the 45 long colt. I was looking into reloading then noticed the long colt is .451-.456 but a 410 is only .410. Am I missing something here? 40 something thousandths over sounds like a lot.

    What is the most accurate (DIY home molded) 12 gauge slug at say 50/75/100 yards?

    Title pretty much says it all. Im not finding a lot other than lee key 7/8 or 1oz and the lyman 525 gram. Is that pretty much it? Those 3? I plan on shooting smooth bore but open to hear actual results and feedback from others that have tested smooth vs rifled vs rifled choke. From what Ive seen...

    Is there a simple way to compare IR Illuminators equally?

    I want to have an equal comparison, apples to apples. I'm looking at 850nm IR lights. With regular lights, a 60W isn't as bright as a 65W. I'm told by one IR seller his 3 watt is brighter than a 5w by company X. So I went to mW as in milliwatts and again am being told, dont look at the mW...

    1 powder for 243 and 270

    savagekindaguy - yes I know about that link. I started there 1st then came here. Capt RB - the 100V is not extreme temp. stable, nor am I shooting an 87gr but thanks anyway. dwm - the H4350 doesn't show any data for the 243. It's not even an option to view with 243, 75gr picked. Have you tried...

    1 powder for 243 and 270

    I just got a 243 and want to reload for it as well. I like the Hornady 75g V-max. On my 270 I use Hornady 130g SST with H4831SC. I cant find any load data for that powder on the 243 so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good powder (stable at all temp range like the 4831 is) that will give good...

    Remington vs Browning

    Hello all. I really am torn between 2 guns and want to hear your thoughts. I just got a remington 7mm mag, model 700 SPS after tax I think about 800.00. Brand new, never shot. Somoene wants to swap that and an older shotgun for a browning high power safari 7mm mag. From the pics, it looks nice...

    What's the order of finding the best load for an adjustable gas impingement semi auto?

    Here's what's going on. I know about the ladder, OCW, grouping etc but I'm stuck at 1st base. I have a 308 I'm trying to find a best load for. The problem Im having is it's adjustable gas impingement operated. Using stock rounds the primers were blowing out so we were told to turn down or off...

    Picking the best powder, powder selection

    g0rd0 - "a note to how they performed" as in chronograph speed? How else do you know they perform? Vette - You start off with Nosler's load data but that's not going to work for me. 1) I'm using Hornady's bullet and 2) I called Hornady and they said they dont have a "best powder or recomended...

    Picking the best powder, powder selection

    Hello everyone, I'm just getting into reloading and my head is swimming. I am shooting a hornady 130g 270 cal that from the factory does 3200fps. If that's what I'm sighted in for, that's what I want to reload BUT hornady has some special blend you can't get to replicate those numbers. That...
