I just got the reloading Dies 277 Sig, Brass Bullets. And Bought 6.8x51 Ammo 113gr. Also 277 Sig Ammo. I just wrote all i could find on 130gr 145gr 165gr for powder charge in IMR & Hodgdon.
New member here so sorry if this is something I am not doing right. Joined to get more data on reload development and I just spent a few days measuring case volume of 200 rds of 6.5 creedmoor and thought I would share my averaged case data but no matter what I do I always get the red error text below. I am in the Apple eco system, but got same results using Safari and Firefox, on mac or ipad browsers did not matter. Any ideas on what may be the issue?

The problem was case length can only be up to hundredth of inches. While the error message says check entries a little more detail on the exact issue would have been helpful as I measured to thousands.
I have successfully reformed some brass to make this cartridge. Now I need some load data. Anyone in the community have the knowledge/expertise about the 43 Mauser. Any and all help appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mark Larson
Kaliber ist hier: https://www.xxlreloading.com/caliber-load-data/11.15-x-60-r-mauser-(smokeless). wir haben nur leider keine passenden Geschosse in der Datenbank. Lass uns gerne wissen, welches Geschoss dazu passt, dann schauen wir mal nach LAdedaten ....
Anyone on this board who can share any information on reloading .444marlin with VV N32C Tin Star. I don't know if there are any cowboyloads for this caliber?
Cannot seem to find 6.5 Carcano load data. Am I just looking in the wrong place, or is it because the mixed diameter used in the Carcano(.264 and .268) ?
Hi, I was wondering if there are some specific load data out there for the M1 Garand. Bullets I would like to use are Hornady 55gr and powder from Vihtavuori.
Any experince with this compination?
My M1 is from 1945.
Hello Alex
https://hodgdonreloading.com/rldc/
This data lists all three versions of both 308 and 30-06. Reduced, commercial and military. Didn't see any 55gr bullets though. Maybe you meant 155gr. It's all there.
Both Hornady and Sierra Manuals have similar data. However you must buy there books.
I am new to reloading. I am shooting a ruger ar556. I was looking to find the closest load to the miliatary green tip. Does anyone have any recommendations on what load I should shot.
There is several loads listed in the 8.0 Edition Western Loads for both 222 Rem and 556 Nato. Just look for the 62 MIL M855 listing for the desired powder. Here is a copy of that document:
Enjoy.
I noticed the COL listed here for the 454 Casull is shorter than the COL listed in Lee, Hodgson, Lyman, and other load data sets. I'm just starting my journey into reloading so I'm a complete novice so wanted to know why it says max cartridge length of 1.68" and a COL of 1.765" on the schematic of the cartridge? I almost loaded some Hornady XTP Mags using the 1.665" number labeled as cartridge length. I doubled checked the number and saw that all my other load data manuals were listing the cartridge length as 1.765" and so loaded them at that number instead. Am I missing something and the cartridge length stands for something other than COL? Thanks for the info.
I would recommend using the OAL Trim dimension listed on the manufactures load data. Hornady uses 1.373"/1.383" as your min/max trim rates. The 240/300gr XTP have a COAL of 1.745". If at any time you are unsure of your COAL, start at the max of 1.765" and check chamber fit and function. To tight. Lower .010" (1.755") and check, Repeat if necessary. Try to use the recommended manufactures COAL for any bullet, ie, Barnes, Sierra, Speer, etc.
Hi can some explain how to get the case capacity. I am not sure how to get that value and what units the website is showing it in. GoW not sure what that is?
Thank you.
Claudio
Yup, the steps below are perfect. The only thing I would change, personally, is I wouldn't add the water while the case is on the scale. Purely because an oopsie could result in water in the scale and electonics doesn't like that.
GoW, by the way is Grains of Water.
Hi, all.
I have reached a point of "analysis paralysis"!
I have a collection of propellants, viz. Somchem S335, Somchem S341 (Riflex Blue), Somchem S355, Lovex S062, Vihtavuori N150 and Vihtavuori N550.
I can't find two charts on the internet that agree with each other on the relative burn rates of these powders and, a separate query to Google's Gemini gives me a completely different answer too!
From comparing multiple sources, my own rating of these powders, by burn rate (fast to slow) is:
Somchem S335
Oh wow - this is a topic that can be discussed endlessly and there is no wight or wrong ... the burn characteristics of a powder are determined by a number of factors:
explosive heat (energy conversion potential )
burn rate and function (functions are never linear - some start fast and then slow down ...) , which depends on the chemical composition and shape of the powder
density and bulk density (if bulk density is high, you can fit more powder into the case, which converts to higher pressure and energy)
Some burn rate charts might take only one variable (i.e. initial burn rate) . Others take a weighted average (of explosive heat, initial burn rate, etc.) , some take empiric values of similar characteristics (i.e. weight of the charge for certain calibers). This leads to a different ranking and can be confusing.
This statement, "My (perhaps naive) understanding is that a faster burning powder is typically better for lighter bullets travelling at a higher velocity and slower burning powders better for heavier bullets - regardless of calibre," is not correct. The rule of thumb is that smaller calibers (smaller case capacities) made for shorter barrels use faster powder. The powder should fully convert before the bullet leaves the barrel. Otherwise, a too-low powder conversion creates massive muzzle flashes and noise. So typically, pistol and revolver calibers use fast-burning powders as well as military calibers (for economic reasons, they often have small brass and short barrels like .223 or .308).
The load tables on xxl - other than on other sources - also show the powder burn, fill rate, etc. This helps a lot to find a suitable substitute for anyones default powder that might not be available. It also often lists the recommended powders. Hope this clarifies and helps.
Alguien podría facilitarme información sobre el asunto? Datos de carga y demás ...
I did it with 338-06 Not 9,3x62, and there is an important difference in the base diameter. look below. My process Anneal the brass
Dull length sizing with my 338-06 die.
Measure ALL brass and trim if necessary
In My case I could use the load I use for hunting for fire forming. As the difference between a 30-06 and 338-06 is only the bullet diameter. I do not know if its the same with 9,3.
And done, that was all there was to it.
HOWEVER. the base diameter of the 9,3 is 12,1mm while a 30-06 is 12mm. This might result in some very "blown" out cases that might work but wont look nice.
I found this thread from USA, that might be helpfull.

spoiled by the traditional manuals, and new to site as well as only been reloading since This past December, Data on this site does not indicate trim to Length for the 277 Fury/6.8x51 just max case length , any help would be appreciated.
/salute
I agree with spricht Deutsh, but add that in most cases the trim to length is usually 0.010 shorter than the max. length. It is most important to maintain a uniform length for all your cases if you are crimping the bullet, especially if the bullet has a crimp groove. You do not need to worry as much if using a Lee Factory Crimp (LFC) die, because this crimps the bullet with horizontal pressure, and not at the end of the case. Not sure if the die is available in your round, but worth looking for. Enjoy days at the range.
Hi, folks.
I'm reloading my .375 H&H with Peregrine VLR4 230gr bullets, using Lovex S062 powder.
However, I'm battling to find a stable velocity which also GROUPS well on the target. I'm seeing a BIG discrepancy, though, between what the target velocities are on this XXL site, versus that on Peregrine's website. XXL has the target velocity at 2710 fps, where Peregrine has the velocity at 2920 fps.
Personally, I think 2920 fps for a 230gr out of a .375 is rather fast, but that comes from the manufacturer.
Question is - what should my goal be? Do I aim for what the manufacturer says, or go by the XXL load data?
Any advice?
I think XXL only loads to roughly 90% of max charge. Others might not. I find that BARNES max load data always is in the overpressure zone as an example. As other here says, load to your weapon, use puplic load data as guidelines.
I have tried the last couple days to add a Weapon to my diary with no luck. I have tried from my computer with Chrome, Foxfire and Microsoft edge with no luck. I have also tried from another computer and a cell phone with no luck. I keep getting the same message in read at the bottom of the added screen shot. Is there a trick or something else i need to try?
Thanks
Sorry I'm starting off bad by asking about a lot of things. Hope you can hang with me I'm sure there is reasons for what you do. You guys seem to rely on COL alot. I don't worry about COL. Bullets especially today with the ballistic tips can vary substantially in length. I use bullet ogive. The ogive is what I always want to be in the same place. I want the bullet the same distance from the lands every time. Am I wrong in my thinking. Or do we just look at the same thing in different ways.
Thanks
COL really means nothing because of the many different throat lengths in various guns. Always measure your distance to lands accurately for each different bullet you use. The Hornady base to ogive gauge gives you a good reference point
I just sent in a request to get this bullet added to the bullet list. They just started selling as a reloading component far as I can see. Before it was strictly a loaded ammo bullet for them. Long and sleek with a .608 BC. Hoping they can put it in there as it would be great for mid to upper size rounds. I'm working on a load with it now for my 280 AI. After that I will work on my 7PRC. I like the idea of the whole bullet shoving through and hopefully creating an exit wound.
it has been added - you and everyone else can view the status transparently always on this page: https://www.xxlreloading.com/request-new-bullet-to-be-added
There is load data already for 9.5 x 55 : https://www.xxlreloading.com/calibers/9.5-x-66-se-v.-hofe
22 Nosler was created in 2017 why is there no load data?
Thanks
Thank you very much.
Hello, it is planned to insert
6,8 western loads?
