Hey all, My Lyman 38/357 mag depriming/sizing die was finished sizing my Starline brass all the way down to .372. I thought my cases looked pretty odd and when loading a cartridge (SWC confirmed at .358) it has a bit of an hour glass look to it. I looked at my manuals and the spec is .379...

I have a situation that I believe is usually the opposite of others. My wife and I love the taste of bear meat but have no use for a bear hide. I realize I have to bring out the skull for DOW tooth extraction as required by law but if it weren't for that law I'd leave everything except the...

I lost my blaze orange nylon waterproof hat cover for my safari hat. Same cover is used for a cowboy hat. I only find a vinyl one but I don't want that shiny, vinyl thing, I want the quieter nylon but can't find it for the life of me. I need it for hunting season and figured I'd seek the help...

ASCTLC, If you quickly found 1/2 MOA for your 150 gr Nosler Ballistic Point with 58gr I4350, was that just one group shot with that charge weight? Or what several groups all shot inside of? Any load recipe has the potential to shoot a very tiny group; once, but all the others will be larger...

I was typing this response to Fishslayer in another thread about brass sizing issues that he has brass sorting company. It's looking like a die issue for that other person so I thought I'd relate my experience in another post instead of hijacking that thread. I'm relating this experience for...

I just received some 158 gr LSWC .358 from one of the more common mfrs. Just on a short sampling the variation is: .694" @ 160.1 grain .702" @ 164.3 grain all the way to one found at .713 @ 168.7 grain Majority seems to be from my sampling: 60-70% are the 160.1 gr the rest at the...

I'm searching the forum but the search criterea are too common to every other topic on this. Mine is specific. I currently have Federal 180 gr Partitions for my elk cartridge. Outstanding performance! But also outrageously expensive. So I bought a number of PPT and Sptz to begin working up...

I'm wanting to start using lead WC and SWC reloads for my new S&W 686. Before I purchase any bullets I wanted to start with slugging my barrel so I can begin all this with the best chance for success. So far so good (I think), but now how do I accurately measure my 5 land slug? :o Thanks...

I've been reviewing posts until I'm blue in the face for info for using Green Dot for the subject listed calibers. While I see all three of these calibers can be loaded with Green Dot my question is more to the subject of which would likely be the best use of this powder. I generally use...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a guide to moose hunt in Colorado? We have the Shiras moose and I want one. Been putting in for years and who knows, this may be my year. But if I draw, I'm going to make the most of this opportunity and use a guide. Any suggestions or recommendations...

Anyone find a suitable knob form something totally non-related to reloading to use for a knob on the arm of my older Lyman Orange Crusher press? I could go buy a new arm but don't need the expense of buying purpose built when all I really need is a knob. I saw a replacement arm in an Dillon...

Any one make their own homemade powder dispenser baffle? I read through all of the Reloading Tips sticky and do not recall seeing this. I'm thinking I'd like to try it to see if I can improve the throw consistancy of my Clays Universal I use for 9mm and .357 mag plinking loads. Thanks...

I could sure use some help with this topic and here's why: I see people talk/ask about OAL for their loads but not always specifics about exactly what the dimensions are of their bullet. With bullets from the various mfrs being different and case capacity with the bullet seated affecting...

Can a light roll crimp be applied to the .38 158 gr Power Bond bullets for loading in my .357 mag? I intend them to be used in both my revolver and my lever action rifle at less than full mag but heavier than 800 fps plinkers too. I believe I want at least a little bit of roll crimp for safety...

is an Alaskan moose hunt, BUT how does one get the big ole rack and the meat shipped back? Is there a special shipping company one must use? Any idea at all how much shipping can be expected to run? Thanks, Andy

I guess I'm just all kinds of paranoid with the commonly stated position that H110/W296 being intollerant of downloading too much. Here's where I'm at: I have a 20" barreled Puma 92 and a 2 1/2" barreled revolver both chambered for .357 mag. Since the longer barrel of the rifle requires...

Long story short, it has been determined that I have quite a bit of room to chose my bullet seating depth for my 30-06 using the 180 gr Partitions. I can't seat it far enough out to come anywhere close to the lands. Now the question is this: 1) Does IMR4350 become more efficient as I reach...

Hi everyone, Been reading a while and thought I had it understood. I'm beginning this endevour by first figuring out the OAL for the 165 gr Remington Core Lokt using my once fired Remington cases and the OAL for the Partition 180 gr. using my once fired Federal HE cases (from my Fed light mag...

Someone posted a link to another post of pictures of various pistol cases cut in half so one can see the structure of the cases by manufacturer. It showed the ones that were thick and ones that were thin. I never could find that again, has anyone seen this and can point me to it? I'd really...

Am trying to determine a reasonable .357 mag loading for whitetail does. I tend to lean towards heavier bullets (180 gr) but see a reasonably priced 158 gr RNFPM by Missouri Bullets. The question I have is: at what speed can I push an 18 Brinnel bullet? To use for hunting little whitetails...
