How many times should I be able to reload same brass. I have H brass 300WM with case failure after 5-6 reloads. No speed demon here, running at 2934 w/180TGK…tumble, anneal, fl resize w/measured neck and trim every case every time. Curious if this is normal brass life

i am a left handed old man, have owned and tried all of them, it all depends on what you want to do. If you are hunting whatever out to 250 yards, they all work. if you want to shoot 500+ you may or may not get lucky enough to buy one off the shelf, the best shooting guns i have are built...

Thanks a bunch, ordering one today. There was a time when it really didn’t matter if you lost a few primers Not the case anymore.

I use an FA hand primer seater, I am reloading some federal brass for my 300WM these cases came from factory ammo they are getting reloaded for the first time, the primer goes in the pocket extremely easy where as my Peterson and Nosler brass you have to put a minimal amount of pressure to seat...

Outdoor limited has Federal Gold Medal Match large rifle primers $139.00/1000 Hope the guys needing them can get some before the idiots buy them all and put them on GB for $350 per thousand

Bought my first LH 700 in ‘76 and have now have 12 various calibers and makes….way better LH selection today than 45 years ago. The one thing I always have practiced before season and still do today is how quick I can shoot, bolt and get back on target for a follow up if needed. I would not...

Where were you able to find the RL-26?

Thanks a bunch........got box ordered.

Has anyone been able to find 6.5 PRC brass lately? I have a "Notify Me" set everywhere i know and have been able to get 1-50case box in the last 18 months, if anyone knows where a person could find some i would appreciate a heads up. Thanks

[/MEDIA] Thank you I was going to use H 1000 it looks like it’s pretty Full case ,if I set the bullet deeper do you think I have room for that or would you suggest something Faster that I wouldn’t have to use as much of

I am not trying to insult anyone with this tread, I am not looking for ideas, I am looking for help from someone who knows and has experience with my problem. From my previous tread I am thinking I want to use the 143 ELDX for Elk hunting. My Christiansen will consistently shoot sub MOA at 500...

Insides were complete jello when I opened him up.

Thanks for advice. I have only killed 6 bulls over the years, the biggest one I ever shot had it not been for the snow tracks I would not have found him. Hit little high got both lungs and he made a quarter mile in heavy timber. Zero blood trail.

I am not trying to start a bullet debate, i am only asking has anyone killed elk at 4-500 yds with 6.5 PRC w/147ELD-M, mine is the very best shooting rifle i own, just curious if it could do the job. I do know i want an exit hole.

Just got a Christensen 300 WM and looking for ideas where some have had success with bullet seating, have 60 rounds factory ammo I will use to season barrel then I will start to tune rifle. The first 2 I have to try are 200-ELD-X and Barnes 180 TSX. I am going to stay in the 180-200 wt range...
