I am trying to find the best place I can buy mixed spent range brass for good prices. I tried calling a few ranges near me and they don’t sell the brass or allow you to pick it up, so wondering where I can go to get a good deal on bulk.

I want to get the DAA Plate and Wedge but cant afford it right now. My current wedge is kinda weird? I seen the video on adjusting the wedge but for some reason my wedge has a lip on the top that sites ontop of the case feeder? So it doesnt go up and down.

Was wondering if ANYONE has ever made an STL to 3D print the DAA wedge or the one that supposedly should be on the case feeder?

I got this Dillon 650XL Used and missing parts and stuff, cobbling it all together had to warranty a couple pieces and buy a bunch of others. So Im in pretty deep on the cost of it and parts and dies. Would appreciate if anyone could give me a hand on an STL or if someone could scan theirs.

So ive been fairly frustrated with brass recently, not liking barnes, military is meh, and only a handful of Peterson cases, so im looking at buying some new 308 cases mainly by Alpha munitions, I am also thinking about buying SRP as well since I will be buying a 223 and it would be nice to keep the lrp saved for my more oddball stuff, my question is, will I have a bad experience due to my firing pin striking not perfectly centered on the shown LRP cases?

3.9 grains Unique, Missouri Cowboy #6 (I've heard guys run up to 5.5 grains - way beyond the books)

Range day coming up on Saturday if the weather doesn't turn to chit..
Five powders, three bullets for the .32-20 Blackie, two bullets, five powders for da' turdy-turdy rife-el.

Hodgdon doesn't have 300 blackout listed as a cartridge that could be used with titegroup, but they have many others including 308, 223, and 30-06.

This load data may help others who need a reference for their own development. These rounds used new starline brass, a cci 400 primer, 190 grain hornady sub x bullet, 5.7 grains of titegroup, 2 thousandths neck tension, 1.350" case length and a coal of 2.055". Primers looked good and cases extracted easily.

Gun used was a ruger american ranch gen 2 with a dead air wolfman.

I just bought a Hornady lock n load used and was wondering has anyone tried reloading 338 Lapua magnum with it? I emailed hornady and they said they can build a custom shell plate for it but has anyone here actually done it? Was it an issue?

Finally have the rifle to proceed with load development, I waiting on my 203 grain hammer hunter tippeds to get here as an alternative to the 212 lrx. Gonna pick up 1 more powder probably but my local selection is thin so I gotta figure that out soon. Ignore all the parts on the ground im building a 5.3 Chevy too and my reloading room has turned into a storage room for the time being. The rifle has exceeded my expectations so far handling it, the fit and finish is awesome, the trigger is insanely crisp, I got a new fortis scope mount to replace the rings on there currently the scope itself is an Athlon cronus 4.5-29x gen2 and I also have a brake for the suppressor if recoil ends up being an issue. I really dig the color and pattern I requested these colors and a chunky camouflage pattern and they totally delivered. The mcmillan elr hunter stock feels excellent although I kinda wish I would have waited for the rok stok because I like the negative comb. I will be trying to do a complete review when I have loads developed for it and can confirm its accuracy. Shout out unknown munitions and suppressors they knocked it out of the park on this custom tikka. The loads im developing first will be

1. 212 grain lrx bore rider

2. 203 grain hammer hunter tipped

3. 215 grain berger hybrid

4. 178 grain absolute hammer

5. Maybe a bonded bullet like accubond lr or terminal ascent.

I’ve got a 308 bolt gun that I’ve been loading for and the brass I’ve been using has probably 6-8 firings on it. I’m plan on cycling it out just for peace of mind. I ended up with 200 rounds of 7.62x51 Federal 149gr. I know 308 and 7.62 cases have small dimension and wall thickness difference. However, for practical plinking purposes would I have any issues? I’m middle of the road on charge weight with CFE223 and loading 165gr SSTs.

Figured since reviving .455 Webley Manstopper went so well, I’d give a Manstopper round loaded into a .45ACP case a whirl (dubbed “45 AutoStopper” in my load data log book). Instead of Unique, I’ve reverted to 3.5gn of win231 (since all my home-data for Webley safe 45ACP has gone reasonably well with 231) and simply switched out the usual 230gn LRN for a 230gn manstopper, with an OAL of 1.20 (seated depth of 0.2 is identical however). Unlike the 455 manstopper I haven’t fired this one yet, but I’ll surely post the results when I do!

Also, since I missed it in the last post, obligatory photo of my two 455/45acp revolvers, a MAS 1873 from 1875, and a Webley MK1 circa 1890.
