Over the weekend we scheduled a prairie dog hunt for May knowing ammo was going to be tight. I went home and started making ammo figuring I'd need 600-700 rounds for the trip and practice, knowing I'd probably be short. Of course I'm out of powder now and short on rounds. The non-reloaders in my...

Two in one packages seem like a great thing but not many people I've spoken with have used them. Need a range finder and a combo setup is tempting. Bushnell, Burris, and Nikon all brand what looks like the same scope: Link Bushnell and Leopold both make one model of range finding...

Bought some brass and full length sized and trimmed everything to 1.75. Is the brass safe to shoot in a .223 remington with .223 data?

A couple years ago my brother and I purchased some property at auction. The original owner died and had been leasing it to a third party which is a neighbor of ours. So the bidding was just us two parties and we went higher. Leaving the auction house the third party went nuts and threatened my...

Question for my tax guy but I'm bored. Dozens of critters from badgers to coyotes are killed. They kill sheep, damage land, and eat crops. Seems fairly reasonable that they could be classified as a business expense. What if you use it for work 51 weeks a year and hunt with it the rest? I'd...

The local gunshop has a used Remington Sendero with a bedding job, threaded barrel, brake, bases, and some trigger work for $1200. It's in 7mm RUM. That same rifle in 300wm on the shelf brand new is $1200. 7mm RUM isn't really the caliber I was looking for but the price seems pretty decent...

I shoot 2-3 days a week and anywhere from 20-300 rounds at a go. The field I shoot in can get me back to around 3/4 of a mile or 1200 yards. Most often it's .223 and .243 and 99% of the time it's prone. Trying to make use of the range I've got available is difficult with my equipment and/or...

Every round I load has a different OAL. Sometimes it's up to .02 off from round to round. Measuring from the tip to the bottom of the case using calipers. I understand it seats from the ogive on the bullet but can this change that much from round to round? Not sure how to accurately measure...

So I picked up a Lee 4 die set out of the bargain bin at Cabelas and apparently I got screwed and the factory crimp die is missing. Came with a 40 S&W expanding die instead. After checking Lee's videos and help it appears this isn't a mandatory step. The bullet seater gives instructions on...

Recently picked up a Beretta 92 and would like to start reloading for it. Also in the process of getting a threaded barrel and suppressor. Any issues using 147gr FP lead bullet from MBC on top of Winchester Auto comp with this setup? I've used Lee dies for rifles with some success...

Anyone here used hBN and WS2? Experiences with it? Read an article @ http://www.6mmbr.com/bulletcoating.html Found someone selling enough to do around 8000 bullets for $20 of the hBN. More than enough to give it a go and see what happens. Only goal would be to speed up the cleaning process and...

So I've been working up loads shooting 5 shot groups at 200 paces with my .223. I've got pet loads now for four different bullets that all seem to have the same pattern of 3-4 shots in a nice 0.5-1" group with one shot 1-1.5" away from the main group. Always got the flier. A shot I know is...

So a few years ago my brother bought me a .44 cal black powder revolver. Forgot I had the thing for a couple of years and the thing is rusted shut now. No luck getting it unstuck with minor force. Leaning towards some WD-40 and more brute force. It's a replica of some kind and not high end...

Been doing much googling lately and thehighroad.org comes up constantly so thought I'd give it a shot. Have a Remington 700 SPS tactical in .223 w/ 1-9 twist and a 20" barrel. Making a trip to Cabelas tonight and hope to get a selection of components to start working up a load for it. Can...
