Sorry, i was addressing epags’ response.

Thanks, ‘smith. That makes sense.

Before anybody wastes any time correcting me… Yes, i’m wrong; i have only seen these wrinkles ON SHOULDER, not below it, due to over-lubing; I stand corrected!

As i understand the discussion, the case appeared this way only after firing and appeared normal after reloading and before firing? That is not something i have ever seen in 50+ years reloading. But i have done it by over-lubricating when FL sizing. Especially when adjusting FL die per box...

Hey, Milboltnut This is a fascinating subject and you're going to get a lot of responses. You might save yourself a lot of reply effort if you give the community a few more details... What do you mean by a "primer light"? Are you talking about disassembling the same primer from "years ago"? And...

Im always curious to hear so much discussion of bullet drop these days with RF binocs. Dont you guys find wind and BC matter a lot more? Especially out at the extreme ranges you are talking about? But Im much less experienced, mostly PDs and rarely over 350yds. Hard for me to imagine a Hornet...

243 has so much to commend it! Component availability, 4,000fps MV if that impresses you, high BC 87gr Vmax, gentle recoil, shoot all day, lots of handsome old NIB wooden rifles unless you want to build new…

Just be aware the excellent Pelicans are pretty heavy. With two rifles and optics, it gets crowded, and you might approach 50# if you put any ammunition inside. I have thought about taking the scopes in a carry-on. Has anybody done that?

the concave cavity does not actually give "more surface area to push bullet...". The total force along the barrel axis is unchanged. Some other things happen, and the mavens on this channel can probably speculate meaningfully about that. what's noteworthy to me, is the COG is moved forward...

What terrific advice and insights from all these experienced PD hunters! I'll offer you a different, inexperienced perspective. I wanted to do a PD hunt for decades, never had the chance. My adult son and I did a 3-day hunt just before covid erupted. I guarantee that you and your son, his...

Well you already received the full range of opinion! How i see your choice… You might be looking to bag an elk & harvest meat . You might be looking for a personsl adventure you’ve never had before. Maybe both; “both” is what’s off the table becsuse of your friend’s accident. If you want the...

Thx!

Thx COElk! My preference is for H4895. Without thst Im just working through 1-pounders of stuff i never really used, IMR4064, H4831, etc…

Im just looking for validation from this group, who i know have the best insight. I check 5 different websites every couple days, sites from which ive bought a lot of powder for 10 years. Continuing into the present, nobody has ANY smokeless rifle powder AT ALL. 6 months ago i was able to get a...
