I want to buy brass in 6mm Creedmore and in 6PPC. Let me know what you have (quantities, new/used, cost, etc. Thanks [email protected]

I had the opposite experience. I shot a deer at the bottom of the mountain (my truck was parked at the top of the mountain). I gutted it, tagged it, and found an old logging trail, so I started to drag it up the mountain. I lost all my strength and will power when I was still a long way from...

Yes, it does have much to do with barrel harmonics. I had it explained to me a different (still related) way. A faster bullet gets out of the barrel earlier in its vibration curve (whip), while a slower bullet exits the barrel later in the vibration curve. As the barrel whips, it throws the...

Looking for a stock for a right-hand Remington 700 Long Action ADL rifle. Prefer wood but would consider a quality composite stock. Let me know what you have and your asking price.

I agree - speed and power are important, but they are second to accuracy. You can all the speed and power in the world, but if you can't hit the hog, then you are wasting ammo.

Look at Burris and Vortex. They are both good scopes and both have a lifetime warranty.

I like the 25/06, but the 257 Weatherby offers excellent speed in a factory cartridge. If you are having the rifle built, make certain that it has a fast twist for your heavy bullets.

Thanks for all the help and ideas. Perhaps I wasn't very clear about the nickle plated brass sticking in the chamber. What I hoped to say was that I loaded a number of test loads in both nickle and brass. All were sized the same way (FL in the same die), all were set to the same overall...

The rifle is a Weatherby Vanguard (Howa) varmint. Again I note that I have no problems with other brass/primer combinations in that rifle. Also, regardless of the specific test loads being fired, accuracy was 1 MOA or less.

I found it odd that the nickle brass loaded with the CCI BR4 primers were the only ones that stuck in the chamber. None of the others, regardless of the brass, primer, powder, or charge had the problem. One responder suggested that since the nickle brass was harder than brass (brass), it may...

I loaded some target ammunition for my 223 Remington bolt gun using RP nickel brass and CCI BR4 primers. After shooting them, I noticed that most of them stuck in the chamber and had to be tapped out with a cleaning rod. I found no signs of high pressure that might cause this, and the extractor...

Using almost any sizing material correctly will eliminate the case getting stuck in the die. Probably 99% of the times, it is the outside of the case not being sized that causes the problem. I understand that Imperial wax is the best option for sizing brass. As an older shooter, I grew up with...

Be careful. Some shotshell hulls have tapered walls; some have straight walls. Some wads fit in tapered walled hulls; some fit in straight walled hulls. Using a wad that is not designed for a specific type hull may lead to poor performance or dangerously high pressure. Always use the wads...

I've had good success with N160.

Regarding the selection of a rifle scope, be advised that many high-priced scopes are being copied in foreign countries and sold as name brand. As one who got burned - be advised.
