BikerBob Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hi. I just recently discovered this forum. Wonder why you guys have kept it secret for so long. -:) I've been reloading for a long while, mostly interested in rifle for benchrest shooting, but also reloading pistol in order to shoot more. There's more to this hobby than meets the eye. My latest "project" is to reload for a Glock 40 caliber without blowing my hand off. Looking forward to learning a bunch from this group.

Hi-Power Jack Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Welcome aboard, Bob If you're reloading .40 Minor - no problem - you will be fine. If you're reloading .40 Major, you'll want to use heavy bullets and fast powder, which is the best way to go, but you can run into a serious problem if you suffer any bullet setback. To check for bullet setback, push the bullet hard into your reloading bench, and remeasure OAL - If it shortened, you have bullet set back. To correct this, most people try to Over Crimp to keep the bullet in place - NO GOOD. You need a tighter re-sizing die. Good luck with it. Doing any competititve shooting?

BikerBob Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 No competitive shooting around here close that I know of. I'm just a plinker trying to keep enough skills so I won't embarrass myself on the range. Love to shoot, though, and always tinkering with something.

MAC702 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I noticed, but didn't know how to tell anyone about it. I also noticed that he noticed, and then started giving one-liners to every other thread he could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
