Frequently Asked Questions

1. What components do I need to reload ammunition?

A reloaded round needs brass, a primer, powder, and a bullet. On this page, choose bullets by weight, diameter, and construction for your cartridge, and brass made for the correct cartridge, prepped and inspected. Pick your powder from our reloading powder selection, and match primer size and type to your load data in our primers collection.

2. Can I mix bullet and brass brands in the same load?

Generally yes, with two checks. Brass from different makers can vary in case capacity, so sort by headstamp and re-verify loads, especially near maximum. A different bullet of the same weight isn't automatically a drop-in, since length and construction change pressure, so use published data for that specific bullet.

3. How do I choose the right bullet weight for my cartridge?

Start with the weights your load manual lists for your cartridge, then narrow by use. Lighter bullets shoot flatter and faster for varmints and targets, while heavier bullets carry more energy for larger game and hold up better in wind. Also check that your barrel's twist rate stabilizes the weight you choose.

4. What bullet diameter do I need for my caliber?

Bullet diameter often differs from the caliber name, so ordering by name alone is a common mistake. For example, .223 Remington and 5.56 use .224", .308 Winchester and .30-06 use .308", and 6.5 Creedmoor uses .264". Confirm the diameter in your load data before ordering rifle bullets or pistol bullets.

5. What should I do if a bullet or case looks out of spec?

Set it aside rather than forcing it into use. For bullets, look for damaged tips, dented or torn jackets, or deformed bases. For cases, check for loose or tight primer pockets, cracks, and dents. A loose pocket can let a primer back out, while a tight one can deform it during seating.
