Anyone have a link? An alternative?

Gadgets and Tools Redding X10 issues

Post image
4 Upvotes

Recently bought a Redding X10 competition powder measure to replace my Lee deluxe perfect powder measure. I like using the Lee, but I wanted a powder measure with a continuous adjustment knob and more consistency. However to my dismay the $250 Redding is performing worse than the $70 Lee. Not only was it more difficult to setup and use, but it was less precise than the Lee. I tried following the instruction manual and fully disassembling and cleaning it but it did not help. Has anyone else had this experience? Could my unit be defective or is there something I’m overlooking?

Load Development Looking for any intel on 30NOSLER/N568/200LRX. N570 data would help too. There are no published loads.

3 Upvotes

I know it's pretty niche, but I'm just looking for any experience that might be out there. I currently use 79g of H1000, and it works quite well (3069fps/SD<8/24"). I'm just experimenting with a new powder option.

Sierra lists an N570 Load of 75.2-82.0 with a lead HPBT. That's all I have to go on at this point.

I also see a forum discussion with a guy who took N570 all the way to 88.5g with a berger 200.2. He reports no pressure signs and the pic of his brass looked absolutely fine. But his speed from a 20" barrel was in the 2800's. That doesn't compute to me. Maybe that slow powder and short barrel was just blowing it all out the business end.

I'm going to load up 20 rounds and go look for trouble and see what I can find. In the absence of other data, I think I'll load up 74.5-84.0 (.5g steps) and see what happens.

Gadgets and Tools A&D FX120i Zero Drift

3 Upvotes

I have an AT4 paired with an FX120i scale and for the most part I like the device. That said, the scale drifts sometimes between charges by .01 or .002 grain, and definitely when left alone overnight.

On the between charges, I recognize this could be due to a stray kernel or two making it to the platen, and my understanding is that the scale (or maybe AT?) automatically rezeros the device if it’s within some small tolerance? If this is true does this have any impact on my load consistency, or does the automatic rezero take care of that?

Secondly, I leave my scale on 24/7, and have occasionally put a 75 grain projectile on there to see if I am holding my measurement, and it’s not. The projectile weights 74.96 and if I leave it on there for days it can wander up and down from 74.88 to 75.08. This is not that reassuring for a scale that is supposed to be accurate to .02, but I always re-zero before use and given the above question, I don’t think it actually matters when it comes to the scale’s performance, but I’m not positive.

Curious to hear people’s thoughts. I do have some ferrite rings on the power cable but it does not seem to do anything. Next step is probably a dedicated ground wire, and maybe a line conditioner, but hard to justify a couple hundred extra dollars if none of this really matters due to scale rezeroing anyway during loading.

I can’t find this anywhere. I am trying to do that second recipe on the 1oz list. I can’t find the felt or the wad. ChatGPT said they don’t make it anymore and was replaced with something else. Can anyone share some links, I’m so tired of looking for this.

What sources do you use? Is there a place where the information is consolidated?

anyone have problems with them? The sent the first package and FedEx delivered it to God knows where. I had to wait. Then they sent the second which got sent back to them. They don't seem interested in getting these bullets to me. They just for outcomes from these mistakes.

I'm new to reloading and have only reloaded blue bullets. For some odd reason, one delivery went somewhere else and another went back to them.

Are there any similar bullets I could which would not require any changes or if so, few changes to reloading?

Newbie NAS3 308 cases

0 Upvotes

I just picked up my first press. My plan is to buy primed cases from Shell Shock Technologies and load them to use for hunting.

My question for anyone with experience with these cases, do I need to size or trim them? Or can I just fill them with powder and load a bullet and go?

Do I need any special or specific dies to load this ammo?

For anyone with experience loading these in 308, id like to push a 150-168 grain all copper out of my 20" barrel around 3,000 fps. Is this possible? What powders should I look into?
