That's a young buck. The coat is too clean and the neck is thin, I think 2 or 3 years also.

Depends on what the gun is for, if it is a hot round. Is it for big game or prairie dogs. For big hot rounds, even a 243 I would assess the three rounds and probably take 2 more for ***** and giggles to see if I can do a 5 round group with it. 300 Win mag, just three rounds, unless I had the...

Its hard to beat a Crosman 1300 pistol in 177 or 22. You can pump it up or down. It is extremely accurate. General consensus is that 22 caliber may be better for hunting. I have killed a lot of gray squirrels with a 177 though and they are tougher than grouse, I assume. Im not sure of the...

Believe it or not, Remington Core Lokt 180 grain ammo was the most accurate factory ammo I have tried. The 180 flat base was Made for the 300. Privi Partisan 170s are also extremely accurate. Do you want SEXY or do you want accuracy and bullet performance? I have put old Hornady 180 flat...

Depending on your bedding, 25-45 in lb are a good bet. What type of rest are you using? Either use a front rest with a forearm stop for consistency or use a bipod like you are hunting from the field. If your front pressure is not consistent you can't test loads effectively. And you can't free...

No. We have caved and shown our tolerance limit. Especially on Evil, shooting and hunting products. 9mm ammo is costing me .20 per round to reload. I used to pay .17 for loaded ammo from walmart. I am grateful I don't have to pay .40 per round.

That's awesome that you have help. Ive been shooting forever but started getting more into competitive pistol shooting and there is so much to know, different guns for different classes and making major power... loading way beyond what the loading books would ever tell you. Different bullet...

How do I delete a repeated post?

My biggest fear is that my wife sells my stuff for what I told her i paid for it!

Look. I just bought a lee progressive for 9mm to see if I wanted to do it. It was $275 and it has everything you need, except patience!. My 1st press was a Lyman turret press but then I thought it flexed too much (in my mind, no proof or problem) so I thought I'd put it in my cabin upstate New...

Sorry. I just re read that. My bad. 10k Not including die sets. Sorry

$10K for dies? Is that a typo? Cuz thats outta MY mind. Please explain. Also in regards to upgrading equipment!! I dont think there's been much change in 40 years I've been loading. Maybe different looks. Micrometers for more dies and better powder dispensers n scales. Maybe access to...

I just got into progressive reloading and bought a cheap Lee 4000.. Now I know why the priming operation is manual and the parts are made out of plastic it's plastic so they're not gonna explode like metal parts.. Maybe Lee is smarter than we give him credit for. That's why they tell you to...

Probably the only way that could happen is if a primer was upside down and he crushed the anvil

The drawback of a belted case? Is that the 30/06 and 308 don't have one!!! :) I don't know....but the 300 win mag was the king of long range maybe that only changed since so many people are putting attention and effort into making other cartridges work. Ok, it is not a 6mm PPC but neither is a...
