Bought the Caldwell G2 a while ago and it works real good for both rifle/pistol.  The Bluetooth feature and app can be finicky but it satisfies my needs.  Was < $200 shipped.

Lihikai,

Great recommendation on the Ed Harris "The Load" info/article.  May try some of the reduced loads to preserve brass life. 

Mahalo!

Been handloading for a while but getting my act together to start loading 7.7 Japanese for my Arisaka type 99.  Anyone have experience or do's/dont's I need to know about before I start?  YouTube has a lot of knuckleheads on it but I trust you guys and your advice always.

I have load data and have collected:
- Lee 7.7 Japanese 3-die set
- New 7.7 brass (Priv)
- .311 caliber 180gr RN and 174gr spitzer bullets/heads/tips/projectiles (whatever folks wanna call them)
- CCI LRPs
- Powders include IMR3031, IMR and H4895, IMR4064, Varget, BL-c2, H4350

Still need a case trimmer...

Ahh, the 60% redux loads.  I have both Trailboss and H4895 so I'm gonna try it too.  I love developing and shooting handloads, too much fun!

Thank you my friend,

Inspector,

Perfect!  Greatly appreciate the published data. :worship:  I guess I need to get a cast bullet manual huh?

I'll provide a range report as I ladder up my recipes.

Much mahalo Sir,

Aloha,

Just starting to reload 30-30 Win for my Pre-64 Win Model 94 and having trouble finding load data for my Missouri Bullet Company 165gr RNFP lead bullets.  I have factory ammo for pig hunting but want to be able to plink with my daughter at low pressure to avoid leading/recoil...1200-1400 fps.  Anyone have recipes or experience?

Mahalo for any info.

Kimo  :shaka:

Been way too long my braddahs. Finally worked up loads settling on Hornady 140gr ELDs using 39.6gr of H4350 with .20 setback, Starline SRP brass and 2.805 OAL. Wow! Punching .5 MOA at 200m and 2 MOA at 500m. With a gas gun I'm super happy with results.  Had to go with a 10oz heavy buffer for functioning but recoil allows all day trigger time. I'm now worried about barrel life?  I have 600 down the pipe but hear 3k may be the limit. Anyone have experience?

Great info, big mahalos!  I can definitely attest to the beat-up brass issue, extraction marks galore on my factory brass and will assume the same for my reloads.  A heavier buffer may slow the action but would it provide longer brass life?  Just wondering?  I bought some Starline LRP brass but plan to get SRP brass since I have an abundant supply of SRPs.

Also having trouble getting H4350 powder (half a bottle left) for my 140gr pills but saw some load data using IMR4064, IMR4831 and Varget.  Not really trying for anything over 2300-2400 FPS or 1200 yards but definitely looking for 500-600 yd accuracy and function.

Again, appreciate the info, please keep it coming my braddahs.  I'll update you guys on my load testing.

Now it's off to my loading bench for a mad scientist reloading session... :shaka:

Anyone loading 6.5 Creedmoor?  Looking for some advice and recipes if able to share.  Obviously will not hold anyone liable for shared info, just looking for some info. since factory ammo is expensive/scarce.

My gun stats:  Gas gun/semi, 22in Aero Precision, rifle length gas system, fixed Luth AR rifle stock, 5oz rifle buffer (have a 10oz buffer but yet untested), Aero Prec HPI BCG, SWFA FFP scope.     

Mahalo,
