50 BMG, I'm still wondering how much experience you have at handloading?

Judging from the P.M.s that he has sent me,he has talked a great deal with a military explosives expert.:rolleyes:However,he mentioned nothing about his actual reloading experiences.:eek:

But he has probably stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.:D
 
gatehouse, I'm wondering how much experience you have at hand jobs??? I'm thinking that you practice with stubblejumper ALL THE TIME!!!!! Why don't you to homo's stop posting on my thread seeing as you have had NOTHING useful to add yet!!!!! I'm guessing that your both 35 and still live with your parents and probably have to much time as well a many other things on your hands!!!! STOP POSTING!!!!!!!!!!!! What is so hard to understand about that STOP POSTING!!!!!!!
 
I guess you are embarrassed to answer the question?

Dont' worry, I found put that you are very inexperienced by one of your other threads

50BMG:looking for any advice on tumbling brass. I use corncob media and some stuff called FLITZ polish. The problem is the fine dust seams to collect inside the brass. It gets so much in there sometimes it cant even be removed by washing it out with water. No to mention how much of a pain in the ass washing each piece of brass is. Is my corncob media to old? is my polishing media that i'm adding causing the dust problem, Funny thing is that i just bought some new walnut media and it has some kinda red polish on it. This stuff seams to get dusty and collect as well. The red residue inside the case is so bad that after washing three times it was still red in the case neck!!! any suggestions???? how bad is this dust if you leave it in there. Will it burn up with the gun powder??? will it burn dirty or not burn at all and leave behind an abrasive substance in the gun barrel????

This is pretty rudimentary stuff...:p

There is no shame in being new to reloading..Being a poser is much more embarrassing.:wave:



PS I dont' take orders from you where I should/should not post.:p
 
As Boomer has stated eariler, I find published manuals to be a good rough guide, but that's kind of it. One reason for that is the significant variations found from one manual to the other for same caliber/bullet/powder combinations. I just loaded some 180gr .308 loads with IMR 4895 for example, and my manuals had max loads ranging from 37.0gr up to 44.5 gr. Talk about some variation! Any starting your reloading near max to save time and money is something I don't do as I've had a rifle lock tight below listed max powder levels because of way too much pressure. Don't jump ahead - it's just not worth it! I find it handy to have several manuals handy and kind of look at averages from all the manuals, then start low and work up.

BTW - I've also found that for many cartridges my best accuracy was at higher pressure levels, at the listed book max or past it.

Good post, thanks for some useful information!!
I have also found my most accurate loads to rite near the max load. I have never had to exceed max recommended load to find accuracy in any of my rifles yet. I have however loaded my .50BMG rounds 2% above max but never seen any serious overpressure signs. However my group did start to get bigger again. I went back to max load were it was more accurate and wont be as hard on brass anyways. I guess just for clarification i did start at 10% below the suggested max load and worked my way up in 2% increments.
 
well gatehouse i guess you really do have nothing at all better to do. it's actually very sad. Feel free to post away if you have nothing else better going on for you, I will just ignore everything you say anyways!! I actually almost feel kinda bad for you.

Don't let the door hit your ass when the admins boot you out the door.
Don't bother to reply; welcome to my ignore list until that happy day.
 
What your ignore list!!!!! You cant be serious!!!!!! What am i ever going to do now that I'm on your ignore list!!!!!! bahahahaha I'm hurt i really am. All this time i though stevebc was my best friend and now I'm on his ignore list. Does this mean your not going to invite me to your birthday now ether????
 
If I may suggest, .50, you may want to check out the alberta outdoorsman forum, as there are many on there who seem to enjoy argueing in the same style and substance as you.

Most of the posts are during business hours, however, as I don't think anyone's on there who isn't a gov't employee.

Just a suggestion.

You are confused....If I cared about what you want, I would have acquiesced to your childish pleas made here and in PM's to "stop posting on my thread":p

Besides, I do find it amusing that you started the thread speaking in absolutes regarding ammunition/pressures, etc, but it's clear you have very little actual experience, and it's always funny to expose a poser...;)

Speaking of childish and posers..... oh look there's gatehouse again bahahahaha This guy never stops. Well you go ahead and keep on posting!! It just further proves my point anyways!!!!! I'm actually going to go DO SOMETHING now. Believe it or not some of of have better things going on in life than the CGN website.. Feel free to keep on posting, but i'm not going to be gratifying you with a response any longer. Your just going to be talking to your self again, like usual.

All we have really proven here is that you like to talk loud but dont' have anything to back it up with.;)
 
WOW!This thread is still not locked,no more posts removed,and no ban yet?After having one post deleted by a moderator,and receiving a warning from that moderator which he totally disregarded,he is still here.I am surprised.
 
And here I thought it was going to be locked back at post #29

What amazes me more is that you guys have continued discuss this thread with .50mg . I applaud you guys for continuing to discuss and educate those of us with less experience in reloading , while having to put up with certain childish comments.

What's interesting, is that you (.50mg) have started a thread that many people have been interested in (which is Great), yet you completely ruined what could have been a very fun, educational and interesting read.(Not Great)

If you actually do have a lot experience in reloading, I find it unfortunate that your are unable to share your knowledge with us in a respectful manor, because any information you are trying to share with us is going on deaf ears due to your disrespect of fellow members.
