Haha! I am doing just what your signature line suggests. I am having some fun!

Honestly, the only time I have wished for a magnum primer was with 75 grains of US869 in a .264 Win Mag. Some hesitation with those loads. Other than that, never needed or used them, from .221 up to 30-06. I have used 748 or 760 in everything from 22-250 up to 30-06.

Finally got the new rifle to my range this afternoon and fire formed some brass. My load was 57 grains of Reloader 19, Hornady cases and an 85 grain B tip. Accuracy was good, with some three shot groups touching and a 10 shot group in an inch. I was kinda surprised how dirty the R...

I never had any trouble with 400 primers and 748 powder. I use them in magnum cases, and only once in a while. Certainly wont hurt anything though.

Couldn't go wrong with either. Just use the one you are most comfortable with. Obviously the clear choice would be a Model 71 .348. Geeze, I wish I had one!

Mom and Dad bought me a RCBS Partner press reloading kit for Christmas when I turned 10. Been using it ever since. Might get a turret someday, but I will never be rid of the old Partner. One of my jobs when I worked for a gunsmith was to pull the lever on a Dillon progressive. It was...

I have my own range and still pack a half to a dozen guns out there. I have to go nearly 200 yards to my range! I know, somebody call the whambulance!

A fondness for AR's and single actions? Nice. Connoisseur even!

Another quick question. I have a FL Redding set that my gunsmith gave me with the gun he built. Would it be worth my time to get a neck die or just set the FL die to size the neck a bit?

Thanks a lot Ants. I have used some nickle .223 brass before, it always seemed a little sticky in the die and harder to chamfer. Thats why I was worried. I have 25 loads ready to try. 57 grains of R-19 in Hornady cases with a B tip. Been too busy farming to work with my new rifle!

I dont buy very much factory ammo and dont keep up with what is available. A trip to the store yielded some Federal Premium .25-06 with the 117 Game King. They were the cheapest rounds they had so I bought a couple of boxes to sacrifice for my 25-06 Ackley project. Got them home and...

Thats not a bad point. Gas lines get closer to the surface over time, underground electrical too. I would call before I dug. In a serious earthquake, ground movement and upheaval and sinkholes can occur. Might not be as safe as you think.

Geeze Ron, those are some nice looking drop tubes. Where did you get them?

Glad it worked. Let us know how it shoots. Im a diesel mechanic too. Its funny how a person works with their hands all day, then wants to go home and........work some more with their hands!

Ha! Go look at used T posts at an auction sale sometime. Generally more than new. Some people like paying 5 dollars and some like paying 10 dollars.

I have a DPMS, I like it quite a bit.

I seem to find a lot of folks who like Varget on the internet. Might be worth a try.

Maybe I am a bit of a luddite, but what are youse guys talking about, powder coated bullets? Is this the stuff you spray on and bake in an oven, like the automotive coatings?

If it does not lead, and shoots well, I would stick with what ever works for you. Interesting coating, the HiTek you speak of.

Not to go too far off the rails, but am I the only one who wants a super short cut version of 3031?
