Hmm...? "Let's increase the probability of wounded animals due to the inaccuracy of the weapon so that the hunter gets to shoot and wound several animals before filling a tag. This will be better for population numbers." Absolutely GENIUS plan! Makes perfect sense. 🤣😂🤪

LOL! Have you ever heard the joke about the guy was dared to drink from the spittoon in a bar? It goes like this. There was this guy in a bar who was dared that he did not have the courage to take a sip from the spittoon. Bets were placed and they guy raised the spittoon to his lips and...

Wow, this is a long thread. Took me over an hour to read through it. Learned a lot about the 6mm cree. It seems that this entire thread boils down to this. Both the 243 and the 6mm creed are essentially the same for most practical purposes. The main difference is that the 6mm creed comes...

I live out in the country on 20 acres and I try to respect my neighbors too. Treat others the way you want to be treated. The Golden Rule. But there are those unhappy people who are just mad that other people are breathing the same air as them. There is nothing you can do about those kinds of...

I am a hunter. I say this first because there is a difference between a Hunting shooter and a Competition shooter. I want to make it clear that I am not a competition shooter. That way I can avoid confusion by having to deal with those people who are never satisfied with the accuracy of the...

.Thanks again. The Shooters Pro Shop does not have any 64 grain right now, but I will keep watch for them. For high pressure loads, should a use nato 5.56 brass or .223 brass?

Thank you Varmint Hunter. I appreciate that great info.

Now you have my ear sir. I will listen to your valuable advice.

Thanks for the link. It will be some time before I start casting any of my own bullets, and then it will probably be only pistol rounds. I did see on a forum a while back though, where some guys were using spent .22 rimfire casings over their cast 223 bullets so they could push them faster. I...

Not sure about what you said about not cleaning your barrel out for a hunting rifle. A hunting rifle is different then a target rifle in that a hunting rifle is generally shot cold and clean. So when sighting a hunting rifle in, you want to make sure to let your barrel cool between shots. A...

Thanks. What I am looking for though is a complete formula. For example: Bullet: 62gr Nosler Partition. Powder: "Brand Name, type and amount. Primer: Brand Name and type. And what ever else information might be pertinent to the formula, like the FPS the formula will yield.

I meant to say, Heavy hunting load. I live in Texas and the largest things I will ever hunt with it is wild hogs, so let's define heavy hunting load, as load that will kill a 200 lb wild hog at 200 yards (vital chest or head shot). I have looked at the Sierra bullets. They sell GameKing and...

Thanks. I think my there is a bunch of books in my grandfather's stuff. I know he told me many times that one of them was the end all of reloading books, but I can't remember which one it was. I think it might of been the Lyman. I will have to unpckack the boxes to find it.

I am looking for advice for a long range heavy hunt load in the .223 caliber. My weapon is a Savage Axis 2 XP with a 22" barrel and 1 in 9 twist. I want to say here that I have never reloaded my own rifle ammo. I have loaded many thousands of shotgun shells before, but never any rifle...

I tried to offer out the olive branch to you guys in my last post, but it seems that you guys are going to have none of that. You continue to address me personally, instead of talking about the facts of the issue. I never addressed any of you personally when talking about the topic of...
