    Best powder for 95 grain SST in 243 besides IMR 4064????

    I tried using IMR 4064 all the way up and down the powder recommendations using a hornady 95 grain SST bullet. I could not not get it to group at all. The best was in the 2 to 3 inch group at 100 yards. I can grab this rifle a weatherby 243 and a cheap box of hornday whitetail 100 grain soft...

    Suppressors and the waiting game..fronted money and no joy!!!!

    Hand Primer suggestions??? I have issues??

    I have an RCBS universal hand priming tool. The one with the square tray. It works great for priming large primers and magnum primers. It is a nightmare however for priming small primers. I know how to switch them out and have even had replacement parts sent to me but it is still impossible to...

    Anyone use the hornady sonic cleaner for brass?? I have been using just a Lyman tumbler with walnut two different times during my reloading process. I am thinking of using the sonic cleaner first after de-priming to clean primer pockets and save sizing die from excess grit and grime. Then...

    Novice reloader trimming brass question.

    I guess where I got thrown for a loop is in the Hornady Reloading manual 9th edition under reloading step by step it list case trimming before chamfering and deburring then lubrication and resizing. I realize the advice of resize then trim makes better sense.

    Novice reloader trimming brass question.

    Novice reloader here with some questions. Ok I trimmed about a 100 new hornady 300 win mag brass too 2.610. Books says max COL is 2.620 and should be trimmed to 2.610. After chamfering and resizing they measure 2.614 to 2.615. All 100 empty cases measure in this ball park Then I trimmed...

    Be careful what you wish for 300 win mag:

    Sako wasn't sure that a one inch scope would work perfectly. They suggested high rings and a one inch scope. Then move the scope to where it would eject if possible and disregard eye relief just put the scope where it will eject. This is not a viable fix. The problem is when Berretta bought the...
