I'm fixing to begin reloading 357 mags for a rifle for the first time and it dawned on me that I've never trimmed the brass for my pistols, do I need to trim them for a rifle?:?:
Is case length as...
Have any of you ever used the Hornady XTP JHP in the 180 gr bullet #35771 in the .357 Mag rifles, either Rossi or Marlin? If so, what powder did you use and how much and what accuracy did you find?
Anybody care to share load info on a .35 Rem rifle using Hornady 180 gr XTP jacketed bullets. All of my books are sketchy on loads and leave nothing else but interpolation. Thanks
Thanks for the advice Fryboy. Very informative and covers all my questions;-)
I bought a 3 Die Lee set and I am crimping with the seater die. Would I be better off seating the boolit with the seater and buying a FCD to do the crimping?:?:
Is contacting the factory an option to see if I can return it to be checked? The barrel has not been removed as I've never seen one removed that I couldn't tell. It is too new for that. I'm saying...

I was looking for another source to try & solve why there is such a large difference between my Hornady & Lyman manuals for the loading of my 6.5 Swedish Mauser. Lyman's suggested starting load of...
Where can you go on the 'net to download load data from the powder companies? I have never been able to get info from Hodgdon but got info from IMR. Now that Hodgdon owns IMR, I get stonewalled when...
Thanks Versifier,
I will mic the heads and if I find no expansion, I will assume the cratering is ok?
Anybody out there got a good load for the .204 Ruger using factory jacketed bullets like the Hornady V-Max in 40 gr. Everything I've loaded is showing pressure, even at suggested starting loads. The...
I just signed on and I'm sure this has been hashed over many times. I usually create my own brass by shooting it up but I have bought a couple of new caliber handguns lately and when I went to buy...
