primers
I am a newbie to reloading so please do not laugh. I am going to reload for a 45 auto and a 380 auto. I plan on using Winchester primers. Large pistol for the 45 Auto? Small pistol for the 380 Auto? mttrapper[:)]

i'm on the hunt for hulls that take a #57 and/or #157 primer. i can use 12/20/28/410 ga hulls 0 -
one reason i ask i know what primer i use and what powder load for the 110 load but what if the bullet is a 115 rn the weight is more most sites only give you up to the 110 grain bullet for the .30 carbine what about the 115 grain load out specs do you add 3% 0 -

Umm, with a heavier bullet you lighten the powder charge.0 -
So you say to use less powder by 3% for the 115 grain bullet or more
i know the psi on a 110 grain is 38,000 for the m1 carbine0 -
I kow I'm gonna come across as a smartazz so I'll just speak REAL clearly here.
You need to go back to square #1 and start there. From what I've seen from your post, frankly I'm afraid you're gonna hurt yourself or someone else if you reload !
Get SEVERAL reloading books, read them from front to back 2-3 times. Find and buddy up with an EXPERIENCED reloader, a mentor, so to speak.
Do as I've recommended and things will proceed from there once you've learned what you need to about the BASICS OF RELOADING.
Sorry if I've offended you in any way, but again, frankly, I'd be scared of giving you any reloading info for fear that you'd accidentally misuse it and bad things would result.0 -
you can keep your smartazz answers to your self this foarm is to ask questians you understand ASK that is what iam trying to do but people like think they know it all but do not answer a simple questian they have to feed so much crap [xx(] 0 -
Yes there is a Chart) Look in your Hand loading book and it will give you what specific primer for the powder and bullet you want to use. Only use what is in the Book for that particular Bullet,powder and cartridge. No One here is a Smart azz. It sounds like you are very new to the Craft of hand loading. With an attitude like your you will be lucky to get anyone to give you the time of day here unless you apologize to the great advice you got on here already. Also go ahead and take that challenge and try out Spell Check.
Good Luck to You Sir.0 -

I acknowledged at the onset of MY original post that what I said would 'prolly come across as a smartazz answer. I don't want to launch a diatribe as an explanation for what I said BUT,....
I get the impression that you know next to NOTHING about reloading. Hence the ADVICE to seek out knowledge in the form of books, experienced reloader(s) and IMHO the best tool of all, a mentor, to help you along this journey you have chosen to undertake (reloading). The aforementioned tools ARE INVALUABLE. I stand by the statement, "a LITTLE knowledge can be a dangerous thing"......especially where GUNS, reloading and shooting are concerned!
Glad I could help........
Have a good day...................................and good luck!0 -
Advice is what you asked for and you have received it from a number of people > many things about reloading sound contrary to everyday logic . one of these is YOU need less powder for a heavier bullet in the same cartridge .Check any book that has more then one weight bullet for the same cartridge. Different powders require different amounts for the same cartridge even with same primer and bullet. and most important YOU can not guess on the amount to increase the load because you go lighter or heavier on the bullet by X % it does not work that way . modern gun-powder is progressive burning. The higher the pressure the faster the burn and the faster the burn the more pressure. You can say take a rifle case and load 40 grains of powder and get 40,000 pounds per Square inch in pressure go to 45 grains and get 50,000 PSI and then go to 50 grains and go to 100,000 PSI and KABOOM[:(!][V][xx(]. Don't guess go by a load published in a book or better yet 2 or 3 books. 0 -
Well some people don't answer your question just the way you would like them to. No problem just move on. I have been loading for a number of years and still go to the manual. I don't "make up" loads. If the book says start here and work up to this, then you are safe to do that. When it comes to shooting or reloading it is best to leave the ego behind. 0 -
The questions were unintelligible. 0 -
Where did he go?? 0 -
Prolly doped out a load for a 158gr HBWC for his M1 and blew his freakin' head off.
Some folks either can't read or refuse to when it comes to those tedious reloading books. All that useless info, all those references to more useless info; makes ya wanna puke.0
