load

A structural load or structural action is a force, deformation, or acceleration applied to structural elements. A load causes stress, deformation, and displacement in a structure. Structural analysis, a discipline in engineering, analyzes the effects of loads on structures and structural elements. Excess load may cause structural failure, so this should be considered and controlled during the design of a structure. Particular mechanical structures—such as aircraft, satellites, rockets, space stations, ships, and submarines—are subject to their own particular structural loads and actions. Engineers often evaluate structural loads based upon published regulations, contracts, or specifications. Accepted technical standards are used for acceptance testing and inspection.

    Article proving that ladder tests don't work for load development

    Alright, I just read this article. The author did a lot of testing/shooting and found that velocity nodes don't improve accuracy and typical ladder tests use too few shots to actually work. https://www.outdoorlife.com/guns/rifle-nodes/ What do you think? I'm really questioning what I used to do.

    Lost my .308 load data :(

    EDITED, UPDATE at post #7 I loaded up a batch of .308 for my Remington 700P LTR about 20 years ago. I normally write my load data on the page in my reloading manual, but it is not there. The load for my 147 gr, "bulk" ammo is in there. I have about 75 rounds of that original load left so I am...

    Conflicting load data, what would you do?

    I know there's info about cross referencing load data already, so please excuse the redundancy. I'm looking at loading 7mm Rem mag with H1000 and 150gr barnes "x" which shares load data with the new and improved TSX. The load data from barnes also pairs it with the tipped TTSX. Looking at load...

    I've come to the realization that reloading isn't for me. I haven't touched this equipment in years. I'm not even really sure what all is here. Press, shell holders, dies, components, brass, case cleaner, trimmer, puller, gauges. Take it all.

    My wife said "don't get in to reloading." So I ran out and bought two of these giant power plants and spent thousands on parts, gear, and all the things to reload. I made 400 rounds of 9mm. Then it sat. She… she… was right. So I am going to trade one of my plants. This one is set up for 9mm...
