Largest 5. 56 based cartridges? | Northwest Firearms On another forum, someone posted a link to one of the pages of ar15 barrels website, describing a straight walled 5 56 case with a 357 bullet, called 357 Rimless and then on a search, found some posts by the guy who owns that website turns out the AR magazine design is what is preventing the larger bullets from feedig reliably due to the deep ribs for the bottleneck 5 56 cartridges
Why no modern(ish) guns or conversions to 7. 62㎜ Tokarev? I don't understand why more bottleneck handgun cartridges don't prosper Cracked necks on the empties making reloading less consistent is valid, but not every casing is a 1 and done What other realistic limitations does the bottleneck pistol round have? Because the benefits of easy and reliable feeding are obvious
Best case lube for reloading | Northwest Firearms For a long time I only loaded straight wall handgun ammo and used carbide dies When I started loading bottleneck cartridges I bought case lube in an aerosol can When that ran out I bought some from a smaller company that came in a small, pump button spray bottle Had nothing but trouble Changed to One Shot with mixed results
Bought a 9mm cylinder for my New Model Blackhawk . 357mag to make it a . . . The 16-4 is 32 H R Magnum, the extra cylinder was in 32-20 Win which had been made by Wisner's in Adna, Wash I think the 32-20 cyl had started as a 22 LR K frame cylinder It worked fine The only thing about it was, apparently Wisner's didn't have a 32-20 Win reamer, so they created the bottleneck effect by machining several steps
To crimp, or not to crimp? Reloading 223 ammo for AR15s. I never crimped loads for my bolt action 223 rifles, but the violent feeding of the semiautomatic AR-15 and the potential problems created by bullet setback led me to using a Lee factory crimp die to lightly crimp my AR loads
9mm Luger carbide dies: Lee vs. RCBS | Northwest Firearms I'm starting to reload 9mm Luger and I have two sets of dies available to me I'd appreciate feedback on your experience with them Mixing and matching from both is also possible Lee Deluxe 4-Die Set (carbide sizing, powder-through expander, seater, carbide factory crimp) RCBS 3-Die Carbide
5. 7x28 vs. 9mm vs. . 357 SIG - Northwest Firearms I always liked the 357 sig in theory because the bottleneck cartridge should feed better than a straight wall ( or even slightly tapered) case Unfortunately, that round never really caught on Maybe it'll come around eventually
Best case lube for reloading | Page 2 | Northwest Firearms The rcbs lube pad works but is to slow, l use the zip lock bag method, make sure you lube inside the necks before you put it in the bag, a dozen drops of rvbs case lube for say 100 308 pieces is a good starting point
