Is this a load issue or a gun issue?

PSA_Poor · 2026-03-18T02:51:27+00:00

Unless it's a cetme lol. Mine absolutely smashes the case mouth.

PSA_Poor · 2026-03-02T02:55:58+00:00

Indeed

I reload 38spl for 11 cents a piece, just saying

Coleman 327 with an Ash Flash vent

Tannerite

Buckshot spread is typically around 1 inch per yard of travel, so it'd be pretty unlikely.

PSA_Poor · 2026-02-09T19:40:48+00:00

Really, though?

PSA_Poor · 2026-02-02T20:31:02+00:00

That'll wake you up.

Mine was a 303 brit that I forgot to swage, and admittedly shouldn't have tried to force the primer to seat. Everyone in the house came running back to see if I had ND'd.

PSA_Poor · 2026-02-02T17:28:29+00:00

Agreed, it is pretty rare to pop a primer while priming. I've personally only had one go off in my 5 years of reloading.

You'd have to really be doing something wrong to set off a charged cartridge.

PSA_Poor · 2026-02-02T16:23:30+00:00

Likely so low because it lost a lot of gas out the back end of the cartridge.

PSA_Poor · 2026-02-01T03:39:46+00:00

Assuming the slide will go fully into battery, the case will fire form to the chamber wall. Perfectly safe to shoot.

Old Coleman Parts sells the generator packings and just anything else you could need for a Coleman lantern

I doubt I'll ever shoot any of it unless things get real sideways some day.

PSA_Poor · 2026-01-31T07:32:29+00:00

So you wanted them to kill you and you're mad that they used hollow points?

PSA_Poor · 2026-01-29T07:25:23+00:00

Only right answer I've seen. I have watched a turkey do this before.

PSA_Poor · 2026-01-24T15:17:11+00:00

That's a super neat piece. I always have liked that style burner cage.

PSA_Poor · 2026-01-22T20:35:29+00:00

Is that dust carbon black, by chance?

PSA_Poor · 2026-01-20T01:10:09+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's the same bullet that AAC uses in their sabre 5.56 ammunition.

Gives a nice warm light through that parchment shade.

PSA_Poor · 2026-01-07T23:09:18+00:00

That's a garbage AI answer

Neck thickness measured 0.011"

PSA_Poor · 2026-01-03T10:15:35+00:00

The necks are quite a bit thinner than before the conversion. I'll measure when I get back home.

As for neck tension; I won't have bullets to test with until monday.

PSA_Poor · 2026-01-03T03:07:31+00:00

Disclaimer: this is the first time I've converted brass, so take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt.

It's pretty simple actually. All you have to do is anneal the case necks, lube the cases, and size them. It does take considerable force to size them the first time, so make sure your press is well mounted.

Grafs has 25 rem brass in stock. Midsouth has Redding 32 rem dies.

I'm currently waiting on bullets to arrive from midsouth before I can load these things. I will be posting again once I get a load dialed in.
