    Why so much dislike for Hornady brass?

    I have a hard time getting a third firing from federal brass that was factory ammo, except gmm and I have got 4 out of those, but the primer pockets get so loose they just fall out and I don’t load anything hot. I’ve had pretty good luck with some PPU .270 and really bad luck with PPU 30-06

    Thanks for the information. I have 6 or 8 pounds of 17 and charger, may have some code 223 I know have some for 300. That 7 has very little recoil, but I either run a suppressor or put a brake on everything from 223-338 win mag. I’ll check out the pull downs. I bought some from widners a few...

    Introduction, need help making decisions

    When they first come out My father and I bought matching rifles, he traded his for a 44 Henry. It was the better shooter of the two. I already have a timney and a brake on it. It shoots the 175 sgk about 3/4 at 100 and doesn’t really open up until 300. Everything else I have tried is a solid 1-1...

    Introduction, need help making decisions

    For many years my only rifle was an all weather m77 7mag with a vxII. I used it for coyotes to my 1 elk hunt. I need to rebarrel it, but won’t for sentimental reasons. That rifle has a documented 1300 rounds through it. It was my first rifle when I was 13 until I was almost 30. Then I got a good...

    Introduction, need help making decisions

    I know that’s the most practical answer. I have a ton of reloading supplies for 7mm, I shoot 7 mag, 280ai and 280. As for 308 I still have 500 168amax and 2000 155 match bthp. My how’s wouldn’t shoot anything heavier than the 155s very well. At 500 it shot the 155s at 3”, when I stretched out to...

    Introduction, need help making decisions

    All right, let me start with my experience. I am comfortable shooting out to 600 yards with optics and the farthest I have shot with M1A irons is 500. I live in Southeast KY where we shoot on old reclaimed strip mines. Depending on which beach you find shots can be a max of 100 yards-2 miles...
