Nuff said. I'll upgrade for the 35 dollar difference

I'll take your word on the press... But just for arguments sake what is the big difference between the two?

Okay... after some reading, some research, and much discussion... I believe I have everything narrowed down to my final selection. Before I take the plunge and purchase everything I wanted to hear y'alls opinions on the product selections. From MidwayUSA, my reloading kit will be as...

Great article. Thanks for the post. I finally broke down and purchased the "ABC's of Reloading." I'm a few chapters in already. Amazing how much you can learn in such a short amount of time. Once I get through this book I'll make my purchases for the equipment. On a side note, I stopped at the...

Hey dumb question... what's the difference between all the types of dies? I'm looking and there are neck sizer, full length sizer, seater, mandrel assembly? I know I'm being lazy as I'm sure all this information is in the book I purchased, I just haven't read it yet and I'm looking for the quick...

. Hey thanks for all the replies... lot of good input so far. I'm not necessarily locked into bass pro... i DO have a gift card there but I could always use it on some other BS. So I'm looking everywhere I suppose I planned on upgrading to a digital scale no matter what... so I keep asking...

Excellent points both of you... I did consider just buying all the components individually too and just piecing together what I need. I'd like to keep the purchase to basspro only because I got a gift card and so there's money to spend there anyway. :(

Own a 300wm looking to get into reloading finally. I don't want the top dollar kit as I simply don't have the funds for it. I'm looking at the Hornady Lock-n-Load Classic Reloading Kit ($300 @ bass pro). Includes - "The Hornady® Lock-N-Load® Classic™ Reloading Kit features the Lock-N-Load...

Decided to plug my target into comp and see what the exact measurements are on the grouping. Just thought it was interesting. Notice the ".37 MOA" @ 300 yds :D

Here's a few snapshots of the "practice runs." You can try a variety of things to get the pattern... I've seen people use tall grass (shown in pic), stencils (also show in a pic) or virtually anything that breaks it up... imagine fanning out a handful of drinking straws. Basically, I first...

Thanks for the props... nice to know I'm getting international review haha. To be honest it was quite easy.. including taping it off I completed the whole thing on my hour lunch break. You could easily do it on your Weatherby. If you want I can PM or post some more pics of the process

Haven't gotten into handloading yet... but that grouping was with HSM Trophy Gold loaded with 220gr Berger VLDs.

I'll gladly take a "beater" rifle that shoots 1.5" groups at 300yds. :)

Awesome thanks for the props so far! It turned out pretty good I think. It blends in the tall grass really well... I'll have to get a few pics of that up soon. Keep the feedback coming!

Thankfully I'm in the northern suburbs, but when you say Lindenhurst, people go "huh?" so it's easier to say Chicago. I wanted to play it safe so I taped over the turrets and seams on the scope, maybe one day I'll blast the whole thing. So far I'm pleased tho. Might try a winter scheme in a...
