Didn't mean to turn this into a 1 man thread, but in my last post I should have also mentioned that Universal being ranked behind Unique is very suspect, IMO, and today I noticed that they have the new W244 ranked slower than W231. Since W244 is really an updated version of W231 with some chemicals ...

Still looking at handgun powders, N330 should be ahead of Unique while Western shows V-V 3N38 to be slower than AA #7. And, of course, AA #7 is a Western powder.

First, let me thank you for the question, and let me apologize for the slow response. My wife's younger brother is in dire straits and in hospice in Abilene. If you can find Hodgdon's previous burn-rate chart to the one we're discussing, IMO, it's the better of the 2. The problems I've observed with...

looks like they now post data online as well: https://www.speer-ammo.com/en/reloading/handgun https://www.speer-ammo.com/en/reloading/rifle Thanks, ghostrider! Saw this and checked the current online data. BTW, Nosler also does this. If I understood them correctly, the data is from the 14th edition...

Hodgdon does a pretty good job with their burn rate charts; while they update them more than most. No burn rate chart is perfect and there some clear examples of that with this latest one. Refardless of that, Hodgdon does about as good as anyone else, and probably better than most!

Maybe you can tell us what calibers they show Norma data for? Rob Behr up at Western is a good friend. As mentioned elsewhere here, I have a fairly new article on their blog titled: The Heavyweight Semi-Finals. Rob wrote the manual while the data was developed in their lab by others. It really is a ...

Everyone seems to believe that H4350 is THE powder for the 6.5 CM. Then, as an alternate RL17. I'd like to mention a couple more that are lesser known but maybe even better. Norma N204 is available through all of the major web retailers like Powder Valley, Midway etc. It is a 4350 class powder like ...

Howdy Y'all! I know I haven't been around much since I registered as a member, but a lot of that is due to a recent project. It's been wrapped up mostly for a few weeks now and I was asked to do an article about it. I've written several previously that you'll have to go back several pages to find. T...

Sorry for the dumb question but I have never reloaded. If I mainly shoot 9mm and pay about 18 to 19 cents each for them, is there any way I can really save money by reloading? I would need to do full metal jacket bullets, the wife would never allow lead. Thanks. You do not use FMJ, you use copper p...

Howdy Y'all! New member, long time handloader. To the OP, are you considering the Hornady vs RCBS because of the complete kits? As far as precision handloading I will make a suggestion that doesn't often get mentioned: that of Top-Dead-Center. This is a mechanical means of stopping the rams up-strok...
