    Help me understand the importance of measuring velocity for reloading.

    The only thing that is "key" to long range shooting is the target. The best way to fine tune long range loads, is to shoot ladders at long range. If the load shoots good, who cares what the Es is? A chrono is not a shortcut to proper load development. Many times a load with higher Es will shoot...

    T/C Encore w/ 460 S&W barrel..... Thoughts?

    I have a 416 Rigby Encore. 350 gr. bullet @ 2725 fps. It generates 106 foot pounds of recoil. If I shoot it standing, it makes me take a step back when fired. And the spur on the trigger guard slams into my knuckles. From the bench I use a lead sled with 60# of lead. It moves me and the lead...

    ATF eForm 4 Reduced Wait Times?

    The Atf doesn't get to keep the taxes they collect. $200 per silencer is a "major" revenue stream? The national debt is 35 trillion dollars. When has any government entity cared about a revenue stream??

    ATF sure taking their good sweet time!

    I am certain there is no one in any government position that would care at all about collecting an extra $200 tax stamp. If so, they wouldn't be TRILLIONS of dollars in the red.

    Head space on new rifle

    I have a custom in 30 Nos. The adg brass needed the shoulders bumped when the brass was new. Then they go 3 firings before they need bumping.

    Why do you use Match bullets hunting?

    What testing does industry do? The current Berger "hunting" bullets used to be Berger target bullets. The only change was hunters reporting good results with them. So Berger took those target bullets and changed the label to "hunting" This is according to Berger. So Berger did zero testing of...

    I broke a die today 🤬

    Lee is the low price leader in the reloading world, not the high quality leader.

    Does N570 really torch the throat quickly?

    I shoot N570 w/Berg.215 in a 300 Win and a 30 Nos. better accuracy and velo than anything else I have tried. My 300 Win has just over 1800 rounds through it and still shoots great. The 30 Nos has 420+ rounds and shoots great. When the barrels die they will get replaced.

    You could buy a t3x lt and have preferred barrels change out the barrel just how you want it cheaper than using a super varmint. Also the super varmint has a 2 stage trigger.

    ATF sure taking their good sweet time!

    The national budget deficit is 34 TRILLION dollars. I am pretty certain they don't care about the revenue from the $200 tax stamp.
