Neither Ched nor Fio have earned my favor for bulk reloading. The former likes to blow the plastic hulls out the muzzle while the latter tries to do the same to the basewads. Federals definitely tak ...

As a side comment about pressure, one notable observation which came out of my testing with the Pressure Trace II system: Muzzle velocity is not a reliable predictor of chamber pressure. Some factor ...

Mark, yes have definitely seen that problem and a host of others with reloaded Ched hulls. Because the crimps tolerate so many reloads it is tempting to keep reloading them. Then they stretch and fa ...

Somebody snagged a real prize. Congratulations!

If I hadn’t exhausted most of my spare earthly means on a trio of 725s in the last year, I would have jumped on it like a fumble in the endzone.

To my knowledge Smith Long is still running this website. I have no reason to believe otherwise. His most recent post to the group was August ...

If you can't find any.....use the SG16 plus whatever card or fiber wads to make up the wad column.

Agreed. Anyone tried airsoft pellets as filler? Have similar need in my 28 ga load.

The website software platform appears to have been upgraded recently. Evidently now in compliance with latest security standards. Whether it will make any difference or not, I will continue to fund ...

I tested DR-16 with Pressure Trace II system and found no appreciable difference in chamber pressure or muzzle velocity between DR-16 and SG-16 with 7/8 oz loads. The only difference was stack height ...

I’ve been happy with both, no distinguishable difference. They’re great for just about everything where lead shot is permitted. Our club has a half pallet of 1 oz 1300 fps Rio, very high quality and ...

Half century ago, hunted pheasants in cattails wearing pair of jeans. Noticed denim on side of left leg was frozen solid. My leg is still has no feeling in that patch today 50 years later.

Let’s go down a rabbit hole for a moment. Pursuant to dispositioning the NR Davis SxS mentioned here elsewhere, I looked into what ATF deems to be a Curio and Relic. Not finding myself identified th ...
