I managed to get everything I needed to start loading for my 243. The hardest part was the powder. None of the ones I researched and planned to get were in stock. Out of the few that were in stock and after a quick google search I got 2000-mr and r17 since others were using it with my calibers...

I'm curious where everyone is getting their reloading supplies now a days? I'm just starting new to reloading and was wondering where I should start to get supplies. Oh and one hurdle.... I'm in NY, near Syracuse.

Thanks for the advice guys! I do appreciate it. When you guys bed, do you do the whole action or just the recoil lug?

Just got a new rifle, Savage 111 .300 Win Mag, and I'm wondering what my next step should be. I'm wondering what you guys do once you get a new rifle. What mods, when, why, and anything else you guys do with/to them.

Well that's a little farther than a was looking for, for now. I don't NEED a smith quite yet. I'm planning on buyin a new rifle and ideas are just runnin through my head! I'm mainly debating on a brake or not. I was hoping to find a range like 20-30 minutes from me. Thanks for the help!

Does anyone know of any Ranges Near Syracuse NY? Also wondering if there are any gunsmiths besides gander mountain?

Thats Awesome! Im convinced on my Brake decision!

Im still very undecided on what caliber for a new rifle so im just trying to pick everyones brain to learn more on all of them im considering and unfamiliar with. Are these calibers good for woodchucks to moose out to 600yds? i know the 6.5x284 is suppose to be a great long range cal, but what...

Alright can anyone explain to me how twist rate works and how a certain twist rate plays a role in what weight bullet it to use? I know that it spins the bullet to stabilize it but not sure how to determine what is right for me. And what the best twist for a .300win mag would be and shooting...

It just doesnt make sense to me. From what ive researched, the gains are not that outstanding. It would make sense, if it was a small improvement to the cartridge to gain that little bit extra emfff without gettin a whole new rig. But having to buy a completely new rifle to get minimal increased...

Thanks for the info! But what i guess im wondering is I have a .243 and if i get .243 AI rounds, can they be shot from my normal .243??

Thank You! So does anyone know the best caliber that will hold its energy and velocity out to 750yds that will perform best on moose and elk?

JackinSD this is the best advise i have gotten!! Thank you! I wont shoot past 500yds with my 7mm-08 because the bullet drops between 60-70" or somethin like that. Can i get past that with a different caliber rifle or do i need to start reloding first? I guess what my ultimate question is...

Is AI a chambering or a cartridge mod? What calibers is it offered in? What are the advantages of it?

Great job not being able to handle a little sarcasm!!! Thanks everyone that helped me out and Thanks to the guys that did NOT get so sensitive!!!
