I am glad someone brought this up. I asked this on another forum probably 2 years ago and someone said they are as accurate as non-cann bullets. I have not tried the Hornady bullets with cann but am going to after the holidays.

I looked around the internet and cannot find loads for the 223Rem (.224) with Hornady Vmax bullet with Benchmark powder. I have Varget, H335, Imr4895, H322 on hand. I would appreciate if those who have tried Varget/Benchmark to post loads. Should I use loads from the next weight in the lineup...

When I went to a GS and bought some H4895 I saw some Speer .243 85 and 90gr bullets and bought some of this. Looking at my Speer #12 manual it shows reduced loads with IMR4198 starting at 17gr and max at 19gr. Is it perfectly safe to test reduce loads with IMR4198? I ask this because I have...

I finally got some H4895 powder. Going to load some reduced .243W loads for my son to shoot in his Ruger American Compact. Question I have is I read on Hodgdon website that I can take the max powder charge for a bullet that uses H4895 and use the 60% calculation of the max to find the reduced...

I am curious about adjusting scopes when sighting in. The Sightron rimfire scope how do you adjust this scope? I.E if I shoot bullseye and the bullet impact is 2" low and 2" left do I move the vertical adjustment to the UP arrow? Or is it the opposite by moving the vertical adjustment following...

I brought my Marlin 39a out of the grave. This is at least 35 years old and in almost pristine condition. I forgot completely how to take it apart since its been so long since I messed with a lever. I could not find the original manual so I download from the 'net. The doc I download is for a...

I will start off saying that I finally brought from my childhood home my Marlin 39a and recently bought a CA American LH 22RF. I read on the 'net that someone said for the CZ you need to use a smaller bore-size rod to clean the bolt gun. What are they referring to? Buying a rod smaller than...

wankerjake, do you leave the bones in when you cook the squirrel in some kind of oil and before you bake for 90 minutes? I have heard of people who leave bones in and put in crockpot. also how do you freeze these if you do freeze them? Looks good and you have a beautiful family.

I am bringing this up because someone previously said that small game such as squirrels should be hunt with game bullets as labeled on the box. I bought a box of short game bullets but prefer the LR. However I want to see how many people have used a regular LR (hollow point or fmj) to hunt...

You should put the caliber/rifle and yards to shoot this Mule Deer. That way I will not have to read all through your post when I am in a hurry to go fix my darn truck for inspection. Looks like good country to hunt too!

I've always wonder *exactly* what is this? When setting up dies I set up by screwing down the die until it touches the shell holder when the shell holder is fully upward. And then I lower the shell holder and turn the die further down 1/8 to 1/4 and set the large nut. Why do they call this...

here is the photo. the brass in question is on the left of the picture. the other brass is another brass for reference. note the left brass in the picture there are ring marks just above the head and just below the shoulder. it is hard to see here and I guess my camera cannot catch the shiny...

Also I am using the RCBS x-sizer dies. And as stated no I did not lube inside the necks but when it was hard to push down on the ram I decided to brush the inside the neck and it seem to help a little...very little. If I need to lube inside the neck how much probably very little. Maybe I...

Sorry for not being clear. I meant 2 grains. Note that I have not measured exactly how much "over" this bean scale it but with a certain check weight (I think it was the 20 grain weight from RCBS check weight) I verified this on my RCBS electronic scale and it was 20 grains. Put this on the beam...
