SOLD!

I will sell this entire system as a whole or individually depending. Only reason I am selling is because gf is moving in next week from WI and she has nicer stuff than me. Already have setups in bedroom and basement so this has to go. EVERYTHING is mint and works perfectly. Repeat. EVERYTHING is min...

Re: Advice on working to a safe load for .50AE 400grain

That 24.5 of H110 seems about right at max considering heaviest 454 casull loads with 405gr bullets are at ~24ish of H110. The 454 and 50AE have similar case capacities. One thing to remember with using H110 or 296 is to not use for reduced loads. Those powders have tendencies to have pressure spik...

Re: Advice on working to a safe load for .50AE 400grain

One other very important thing: While starting reloading with 50AE is kind of unusual, it has several blessings. You can't double charge a case, and the 50 DE is damn near indestructible. yes, you could blow it up easily with Bullseye if you grabbed that canister by mistake, but with 296/H110, whic...

Re: Advice on working to a safe load for .50AE 400grain

Swen, if you are using plated bullets be careful. Watch your velocity. Most single plated I'm aware of have a velocity limit of 1250fps. Some double plated go up to 1450fps but unless you know they are truly double played I suggest you keep it under the 1250fps. Call me if you need any help. I shou...

Re: Advice on working to a safe load for .50AE 400grain

First thing is you're completely off base on the taper crimp. For a stiff 50AE load its FIVE FULL MILS!! 500 Smith is 7 mils. The best way to measure is pull the bullet and measure the crimp groove diameter left on the bullet. You want .495" diameter in the crimp groove. BTW: How long you been...

Re: Post em up! Let's see those reloading benches

I might as well just post a pic of me holding a stick sitting on a beanbag with a tv tray in the utility closet. Some pretty amazing reloading benches and rooms in this thread. I am a newbie and my pictures will prove this. But you gotta start somewhere right? 2 weeks into the reloading game althoug...

Hey there BigDog58, good to hear from you again. I had bigdawg in my head as I know one on another forum, sorry. Sounds like OldmanFCSA would be quite popular on youtube if he had a channel. I've watched a lot of ammosmith and iraqveteran8888 and others and have taken in what I can but it's nice to ...
