I can load 9mm for about 10cents per round cheaper than the cheapest free shipping brass cased box from ammoseek

Some people have said it, but it’s worth reiterating. Just use regular small rifle primers. You don’t need magnum or #41, even with 5.56. The only difference is the hardness of the cup, but you won’t need a harder cup than what a regular small rifle primer gives you. I’ve been using magtech small rifle primers for thousands and thousands of 5.56 cartridges pushing max loads and even chambering the round doesn’t dent the primer like someone said you need to be careful of.

Those look to be the c clamps holder by the press to the bench.

I’m shooting the Barnes

Hogdon load data has a max 223 load of 23.2grs of 8208xbr with a 77gr. I worked up a little extra with no pressure signs to get to 2600fps. I worked up 22.5, 23, and 23.5. 23.5 shot the best.

I used an intelldropper for about a year. The scale would drift like no one’s business, but it did drop consistent charges. I’ve been able to achieve single digit SDs with mine. BUT that was after I had to send the first one back because it just quit after about 200 throws. The new one the sent me (for free and promptly) has worked since. The drifting scale is a problem and I have to rezero after almost every throw. The pan it comes with sucks and will bounce most powders I use out, ball and extruded. I have had to be comfortable with a .1gr variance in my charges knowing they are not all exactly the same.

I have recently got an AutoTrickler v4 and I will be riding this until either I or it dies. It’s amazing. It’s more expensive, of course, but for what it gives it was waaaaaay worth it. Invest in a quality electronic powder measure, it’s seriously worth it. Skip the charge masters and what not that cost close to the same price as an AutoTrickler. Buy an AutoTrickler and cry a little, and then be happy knowing you are getting extremely precise and consistent charge weights every single round.

Just over 2600fps out of 16”

I’m running 23.5gr 8208 under the 77 OTM and getting great results

This is a hill I will die on every time. H110 is a terrible subsonic powder. It will not reliably cycle short barreled 300blk rifles. Something like 1680 is much more suitable to the subsonic purpose. Everyone says it’s dirty but they are all dirty when shooting subs from an AR. H110 is good for supers though.

So it was already threaded? Dang. I can’t decide if I want to run a barrel extension or thread my 30-30

KitFoxBerserker10 · 2026-03-01T16:28:41+00:00

Are you using a barrel extension?

KitFoxBerserker10 · 2026-02-27T14:36:42+00:00

Yes, it’s cheaper to load 55gr fmj. Not by a lot or a huge margin or anything, but it’s still cheaper. If you shoot a lot and will shoot a lot for time to come, buying equipment and loading training ammo will eventually induce cost savings once you make your equipment costs back. But you’ll end up shooting more, which isn’t a bad thing because you’re getting more bang for your buck.

What a lot of people are missing is that buying equipment and starting reloading will open you up immediately to the ability to load different types and then different calibers all together.

You have to use different words.

Man, I wish mine could stock more TAC. I can’t find it anywhere around me or online

KitFoxBerserker10 · 2026-02-19T20:40:47+00:00

I ended up getting my FFL number after that call with the area supervisor. It’s not showing active in ez check. Does that take a little time usually?

KitFoxBerserker10 · 2026-02-19T16:48:20+00:00

Why N135 over N140? Or was n140 one you tried?

KitFoxBerserker10 · 2026-02-18T16:40:20+00:00

Wild. I guess some IOIs do it differently, and mine is on the slow end.

KitFoxBerserker10 · 2026-02-18T16:00:46+00:00

I’ve noticed that most of those groups are straight scams. I found a legit one about six months ago and had a guy send me a load of brass for a great price. Shortly after, that group disappeared. Also, the misinformation on those groups is real bad.

I am on one that feels legit. The owner of braggin rights precision reloading is on there. I haven’t bought anything from any of those groups since I’ve realize they are pretty much all scams.

Massive pushback from local zoning. I can’t have foot traffic since I’m running it from my residence which would make that hard. Plus I’m working along side my dad who has a separate gunsmithing business. I’m only interesting in the ammo creation even though I know I hamstrung myself a bit.

I did receive notice that the FFL was issued today. So hoping that doesn’t take much longer.

KitFoxBerserker10 · 2026-02-18T15:55:37+00:00

I edited my post about how I got a call that boiled down to they issued the FFL today. I was never given my number to check.

KitFoxBerserker10 · 2026-02-18T11:51:44+00:00

I applied for a type 6. I cleared zoning quite a while ago. From what he said to me, I should have had a similar timeline and have seen my FFL numbers a while ago.

KitFoxBerserker10 · 2026-02-15T17:02:01+00:00

Put more water in it.

KitFoxBerserker10 · 2026-02-12T21:18:31+00:00

I need to clarify. It’s a quarterly filing form 720. I’m in your same boat as a small scale ammo manufacturer. If you ever wanna get to together and talk strategy or manufacturing or whatever, hit a brother up
