    338 Win Mag, IMR 445

    Hello Everyone, I'm working with my son-in-law to work up a load for a 338 Win Mag, with Hornady 200gr SST bullets. Naturally, finding the power you'd like can be challenging - but I do have an unopened 8lb container of IMR 4451, Challenge is - Neither Hogdon nor Hornady offer information on...

    Annealing Rifle brass

    Actually, the $15 timer box does that. I inserted the timer's relay into the button circuit so I can just press 'Go' on the timer and it controls the ON time down to a tenth of a second. If I chose, I can also use the inductive heater's Go button and start the timer; I brought the two wires to...

    I Struck Oil! Hammer Bullets

    Have to pack the nose with phosphorus (note for those in Rio Linda: bad idea because it ignites when it hits air/oxygen and could cause serious injury or death. Aka, joking here). Should give you a nice tracer! 🤣

Like burying eggs in straw until they're black, for example.. One of my...

    For long range hunting only! We don’t discuss match components!

    From what I've seen, many have already been testing alternatives, having been forced due to shortages. If you post your particulars, there may be someone who has already solved that puzzle?

    One Gun Hunters

    I started hunting at 14, using a 6mm Remington Dad provided. Used one bullet, 85gr Sierra Spitzer boat-tail and IMR-4831. Perfect for deer. When I hit college I figured I could afford one gun, and worked at Bi-Mart, so I picked up a 700BDL in 300WM because there were more 30-cal bullets...

    H1000 H4831 at Defender Ammunition plus lots of Various Powders

    When I look at that address with Google Earth, the home page photo doesn't seem to match. Website reputation checker says maybe Ok.. probably because it's fairly new and doesn't have a reputation (good or bad) yet. At least, it's not marked as blocked. I'd tread carefully. It would be...

    300 win mag powder

    From Google Translate (fabarm): "Hi, I too would have some advice to ask about the.300 WM but with a 1/12" line-up step. I have Mrp Standard and 204; Vihtavuori N160; IMR 4350. I'd like to load for the hunt with 150, 155, 165 shells. or 167 grains. With what jump from the lines should I start...
