I buy the bare minimum amounts of components that will get me by for the time being. The market is in the process of switching from a sellers market to a buyers market. Loaded ammo prices have been dropping precipitously over the past year. This tells me we’re reaching market saturation...

Meat and potatoes. 180 grain sierra game kings

What is the fun in having a 10 if you don’t load ‘em up hot enough to enjoy. Practice, plinking and pig loads 11gr blue dot behind 180gr powder coated hardcast bullets. Home defense loads 13gr AA#9 under 180gr hollow points. Added bonus: The blue dot makes a heck of a fireball when you torch it...

The government doesn’t do anything thats good for the people. The government only does what is good for government. Unless it gets votes, increases its power, promotes a socialist agenda, takes away someone’s rights, or makes people more dependent upon government you’ll be hard pressed to get...

I have used Tubbs on two guns. One a weatherby vanguard 6.5 Creedmoor went from 1.5 moa to .75 moa the other not so much. If there is anything there it might help you get it. The word crapshoot comes to mind.

You tried different changes and depths. Have you tried different bullet and powder combinations? Other than that if it’s still unsatisfactory you might try Tubbs final finish as a last resort.

Get a single stage press and the dies for your caliber (if you can find them). Then you spend the next six months trying to find components for your caliber. If you manage to accomplish that or as I refer to it (win the lottery) concentrate on your reloading procedure. This will gain you more...
