frankge Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Ben Ammonette (sp?) has been really good responding. I wrote to him often when I was shooting league trap since shotgun loads are very customized even down to specific primers being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssanders224 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 +1 I email Ben at Alliant often concerning recipes, and he always replies back the same day. Great customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knh Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 shot the first loads from my sdp and the new barstow barrel.Had to look behind to make sure it was me that was hitting the target.My sig 229 has all ways been right on but have had barstow barrels in other 9mm and 45 cal pistols.the difference was very apparent that I did the correct change in the press and the barrel,even shcked my self.

g mac Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Each powder and bullet manufacturer usually has their recommended load data posted on their websites. Check them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Shooter Wannabe Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I like the bullet loading manuals. Also, you can buy loading books that are caliber soecific. I also recommend buying.... and reading, a handloading book. It helped me a lot. Horandy puts out a good dvd on reloading too. Good luck, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroe3 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) I use this forum and the Hodgdon website. My handloads have been nearly perfect from the start. Edited October 17, 2012 by sroe3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCH Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I've got most of my loads from other shooters shooting similar guns using the same components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
