There is an incredible shortage right now, primers are selling close to a dollar from scalpers and powder is $100/lb in the store. I've been looking for retumbo but it's pretty scarce even from scalpers

I was thinking of trying 4831sc I do have 4831sc available, I think it's the same burn rate. What are your loads and velocities? I feel like mine are slow but I started to get pressure signs before I even touched 2900fps

What does yours like? I just got some awesome groups with 51.6gr IMR4831 behind a 143gr ELD-X but the mv was all over the place so I'm gonna run a ladder off of it. You try any other bullets?

Hey folks, I'm working on my first load ever and and running into an interesting problem I can't seem to find answers for. I started with 3 loads out of the Hornady reloading vol.10 book and the very first group of 5 was touching, the second group of 5 had 4 almost in the same hole and one...

I come to this site often looking for tips and there seems to be a lot of knowledgeable folks posting here, can anybody direct me to some good resources for understanding and applying techniques for reloading? I've been working up a load for my 45-70 and getting decent results, now I have a...
