The gas check is applied during the bullet sizing process. Put the check on the base of the bullet and run it through your sizer/lubricator.

Don't forget to lube the "slug" before you tap it through the bore.

'cause I make them myself and they are free!

I use my Lyman 1200 for rifle loads with no problems. I trust it but I also verify with my beam scale about every 10th round or so, especially if it's close to a max load. Also, calibrate it often to keep it on weight.

No. Several primer manufacturers are selling brass (gold) colored primers now.

I got my 30-06 Venture about a month ago and I love it. Shoots under MOA out of the box just as advertised. I shopped around for 2 years looking for a new deer rifle at a reasonable price. I found what I was looking for in the Venture. I have 2 friends that have the 7mm mag. version that...

I've used rice in the past. It works pretty well but can get stuck in the flash hole.

My M44s like the 174 gr .312 Hornady RN with IMR4895. The heavier bullets in .312 diameter give me better accuracy than the .310 or .311 150 gr. I don't hunt with my AKs or SKS so I can't give you any hunting suggestions for the 7.62x39 but I use H335 for general use in this round. Go to the...

I just took my new T/C Venture 30-06 to the range for the first time today. I fired 7 rounds. The first 3 were to zero the scope (mounted and bore sited yesterday). The next 4 produced a .85 inch group dead on at 100 yards. Man, this thing really does get 1 MOA out of the box! I only had a...

Don't think so. It's their new bolt gun, not a break open single shot.

I'm thinking about getting a new white tail rifle. My local dealer has the new T/C Venture for $449 and Academy sport has the Weatherby for $399. I like both. The T/C claims 1 MOA and the Weatherby claims 1.5 MOA. Any ideas on which is the best deal?

Just had a guy bring a 39A Golden Mountie by for me to look at. The lever wouldn't budge. When I got it opened up it was so nasty and gummed up that it took a while to get it working. There was some rust in the action and patches of rust on the exterior finish. He said the rifle had been at...

I've tried Federal and Rem factory stuff. my handloads are Rem brass Sierra 117 gr pro hunter imr4350 powder and cci LR primers. I just got more blue copper fowling our of the barrel after the all night soak. There seams to be an endless supply. It must have been fouled pretty badly. More...

I've had mine for 40+ years and it's still my favorite rimfire.

This rifle has an accutrigger, so I don't think it's that old. How long has Savage had the accutrigger in production? I can't imagine anyone could shoot the barrel out that fast. I've put hundreds of rounds through a rifle barrel and never shot one out before. I checked the barrel and it...

No, it's a standard tapered barrel. I guess it could be overheating.

Cleaned it with foaming bore cleaner but that didn't help. I'll try some sweets 762 tomorrow. Hope it helps.

I'm having a accuracy problem with my newly acquired used Savage 25-06. Every 3rd round or so is a flyer. The first couple of shots will be MOA or less and the next round will be off about 2-3 inches @ 100yrds. I thought it may be the optics so I changed everything from the mounts to the...

Have you tried washing it? I occasionally wash mine with dish washing detergent and hot water to remove the built up solvent and crud. That kinda fluffs them up some.

+1. I've been shooting for over 40 years and have owned a lot of guns. Believe me, I've had lemons from every major manufacturer including colt, S&W, ruger, mauser, winchester, marlin and remington.
