brainfart Thanks for asking about the twist rate in the barrel. I was getting my 22-250 mixed up with my sons .223. Just for the heck of it, I had to try them in my 22-250(which is 1 in 120), guess what, they were not worth loading the 5 that I tried. I loaded up another batch to try in my...

hate to say your right Yes, I think you are right. I might just wait until I can get a slower powder to give myself the best chance at making these work. If I can not get them to work, I will be looking to trade off a couple of hundred 80 grain AMax, lol. Picked them up, when nothing else...

I have some 80gr AMax bullets that I would like to try in my 1 in 8 22-250. I have Varget and H380 powders on hand. Anyone have any experience with this bullet using either of those powders. I was thinking of starting out at 26.0 grain varget and seeing how it goes. Thanks for any help

shipping problems While I agree that MGB handling of this is terrible, look at the top of the online order page for MGB. They state that a signature is required on all orders and that the shipment will not be left without a signature. This may be why it is so hard for you to get them to...

mystery cannister Did you dad shoot old style muzzleloaders. One method of unloading an unfired charge and ball, using a CO2 cannsiter with an adapter that screw in place of the nipple, and out comes lead ball and all. Just a thought. It is not a pressure regulator, would have to have a...

Thanks for the input. Kind of a rush to place order for dies. My son made it home and is going to pay for the dies and supplies himself if I order before he has to leave. The next best thing to seeing him, and him paying for his own dies, bullets, and primers is he is going to leave the rifle...

Help! I have been reloading 9mm for a few years, but things are changing. My son just bought a new bolt action in .223 and wants me to order dies to size and reload ammo for him. Starting out, I will be only reloading cartridges that have been fired thru his rifle. Was thinking about buying...

Loading area If the wife is ok with it, I would go for the basement. My guess is, you would have less distractions there then at home with small kids. Distractions lead to disasters. The big question is what keeps the wife happy, you know, happy wife, happy life. And maybe your parents...

Sight picture from 35 years ago My favorite sights were the ones I used in the early 70's, they were just so much clearer before my eyes got old. Seriously, I have tried plain, fiber optics, tritium, tfo, xs, about all of them. I think it all boils down to how much you practice with a sight...

Local shops Well, I know what you mean. We have a few local shops that think all firearms are made of gold. The one that grips me the most is one where I overheard him telling a customer who bought elsewhere(still local) that he would of matched the other shops price if the customer would of...

Support your local shop (if honest!) I have always supported one local gun shop. They sell new and used a prices generally below list. I check there prices for competitiveness on a regular basis and they are always less then most others. They also provide excellent service on any item...

GFL is fiocchi, it reloads fine, does vary a bit in length
