I didn't know anyone in the West was making 7.62x51 with Berdan priming. The more consistent ignition part makes sense to me. Seems like others I have talked to have had a hard time finding the...

Why / how would you use Berdan primers with 7.62x51 ?

I have an RCBS Uniflow measure. I put their baffle in it, it made a noticeable difference in charge consistency.

Belding & Mull is in business, but cannot tell from their web site or the...

Supposedly designed for seating cast bullets. So does use of the M die on jacketed bullets have a noted improvement in concentricity as opposed to what competition sizing and seating dies can...

My biggest problem with the Dillon 550 (old version) was interruptions by failure to drop primers in the cup. I adjusted the height of the cup on the slide bar per the manual's instructions. I...

OP do you have a 1903 or Garand to try them in? Are any of the cases discolored or corroded in any significant amount? I have same experience as the others with 1960's and 70's vintage HXP. I'm...

This post caused me to weigh my reloaded ammo, and the deviation was higher than your sample, but still performs well. It also caused me to notice that a handfull of bullets in any 50 rd batch are...

This is an acceptable variance for both. This is not match rifle ammo, shoot them at 25yd or less, proof is in how they perform. I bet you they shoot just fine. I compute the total difference in...

Oh, yeah, as far as taking them apart, I'll just say this. I've shot Colt Black Powder (3rd Gen higher end replicas), replica Colts, and replica Remington BP revolvers for 30 some years. I've...

If you're shooting black powder in a revolver, or black powder, recommend Dixie's Black Solve concentrate cleaner, comes in 4 ox bottles, mixes to 32 oz, perfect for std spray bottle. Put some on...

I measure after purchase, and during re-sizing process, and if the brass cannot get into specs to pass a case gage, it doesnt get loaded into my semi auto rifles.

I get by real good with the tools...

Bullets must have black powder lube on the lead, the bullet lubes designed for smokeless loads will not work well. Around 35 gr +- of black should do it, hopefully you should not need a wad. Black...

I used to get mine from Top Brass (Scharch Manufacturing) out of Colorado, they also cater to Cowboy Action shooters like Evil Roy, specializing in handgun brass. Their processed LC 7.62 was great...

Here's a reloading cost calculator to give a decent approximation. At Bartlet's GI Brass you can get 1000 7.62 for $150. Going by...

Very interesting thread, continues to inform and entertain.

This thread ends years of wondering if I missed anything. Thanks

You might be getting more resistance from the jacketed and they crush. If there is that much lead, I think all this adds up to the cases are too tight. As stated bell the case mouths more and in...

Who sold them to you? Let us know so we can avoid them. Can you get a refund as they are not usable for the purpose advertised?

I'm running Win 231 for 230 gr FMJ. Win 231 is the same as HP-38 and Hodgdon shows identical data. For me 5.0 gr works great and duplicates factory loads.

As the manual always says, work up the...

Yes, get a pic, and maybe you should make a poster and put them up at the range, hey you with this rifle, get help fast!

I haven't shot them yet but everything I have heard from folks who do is good. So far.

The Rock Chucker is the gold standard for a heavy duty, long lasting basic, beginners or mainstay single stage. Mine has been going strong for years, and I still load several calibers on it.
