I buy 1 pound and run home and proof a load..... if it's confirmed that it's right next door to or equal to what I had I run right...

    K31 Swiss Accuracy Test

    Agreed... fun video! I was lucky enough to pick up a fairly nice k31 20 years ago. The quality of build for the era it was made is pretty phenomenal. I don't have a scope on it but the way it shoots at 100 yards with open sights is pretty crazy good. I found a load that hits at point of...

    Remington 760 I'm impressed

    A buddy of mine has one in the 30 odd 6. It shoots like a bolt action. Up here in Wisconsin a lot of kids grow up with 870 Wingmaster shotguns. It makes a pump rifle kind of a natural transition. I saw a humorous posting from a guy from Pennsylvania once. He set out there they call them Amish...

    Anyone reloading for X-bolt 308??

    My stepson has one. He wanted a load to shoot deer out to 300 yards. We started with 150 grain Hornady spire points and all the normal powders you use with a.308 and 150 grainer. That's when the big problem showed up! The big problem was trying to pick which load we liked the best ....they...

    RCBS reloading Dies with Window cut in it

    Pretty sure you'll have to do the website, it's pretty reasonable. It's kind of neat when one of our fellow shooters comes up with a good idea and takes it to a finished production product .....and we like it.... and the price is reasonable!

    300 win. mag.Winchester, Norma,Lapua brass,why the shortage?

    I used to think it was just a case of people hoarding ammo. I said that the other day to the owner of our small gun shop. He had what I think is a more valid explanation..... he said with all the millions of guns that were sold in the last couple years think of everybody buying three or four...

    RCBS reloading Dies with Window cut in it

    Here's what I use to correct ammo after checking it on the RCBS gauge. TT-Equipment-Index The idea, and I believe in it somewhat, is that by modeling the neck you're not disturbing the bullet to neck relationship. I try to bend things as little as possible once I get a reading under .003...

    RCBS reloading Dies with Window cut in it

    I have got one of the Hornadys and don't like it.... no you can't check the case mouth after sizing. Add to that the readings are not real reliable because they're taken so close to the holding point of the bullet ....at least that's my theory. ammo that shows excessive run out on my RCBS...

    RCBS reloading Dies with Window cut in it

    Baydog.... there are lots of things that can cause you to build crooked ammo. The biggest culprit is usually the expander ball being pulled up through the neck pulls the neck offline slightly. But there's lots of other causes too. I've fiddled with some pretty cheap dies like some Hornady anD...
