    Which of my two rifles would be your choice for the upcoming deer season?

    Maybe off-topic, but I'll share a story about 223 on game. I went to my ex-wife's property to help her next husband put down a steer and butcher it. I have no experience with this, but I was invited with my adult son for support. I guess the method is to lay down oats and when the steer puts...

    Which of my two rifles would be your choice for the upcoming deer season?

    I didn't read through every reply, just a couple dozen. Couple factors: The CZ 527 has a 1:12 twist which is too slow for heavier 223 loads, may impact accuracy. I'm not sure they offer in 223, but a Nosler Partition round would give the best of both worlds in a marginal caliber - expansion...

    HK P2000SK Mags

    I bought this pistol for a carry gun and very much like it. While it's on duty at home I'd like to use a longer, higher capacity mag mainly to have a fuller grip. I remember reading somewhere about other HK mags that are compatible, but for the life of me I can't find it now. My wife has the...

    This is what I have been told for the rest of 2020..!!!

    I've got maybe the worst incident of true cost to own toys. Though not a gun, I bought a $1200 Minnkota trolling motor and my wife bicthed and moaned for months - used it as ammo. The only thing that shut her up was agreeing to spend $10k on new kitchen cabinets. No joke, "will you shut up...

    Berry's 9mm HHP

    Dude Dog - if you are totally out of 9 GD's, I have some in 124 weight I can share. Not looking to make money, just making sure we all have our gold dots. Funny joke. My son (25) has a bunch of loaded GD's in a container. I swirl my hand in his gold dots like I'm going to take some or shoot...

    Berry's 9mm HHP

    Good to know. Thanks. I've been looking for GD 357's for like four years. I'll give these Berry's a try in the water tank.

    Berry's 9mm HHP

    I get that, but nothing speaks to thickness of the jacket, velocity range.

    Berry's 9mm HHP

    ArtofGolf - what's your purpose for wanting these bullets, if I may ask? Pm is fine.

    Berry's 9mm HHP

    Thanks for sharing what you know. I'm also looking to find out if these are bonded or how the jacket is attached. "hybrid" leaves a bit of mystery, what they mean, what they intend. I hate when companies or people do that - vague - because my mind wants to guess and fill in missing blanks...

    Berry's 9mm HHP

    I looked at Berry's site and didn't get any meaningful info on what these bullets are intended for, what they mean by hybrid, how they perform, intended purpose. LOL - All I saw was a pic of a LE officer crouched and shooting. Sorry Berry's I need more than a pic. I'm asking for someone to...

    Load data for Plated 44 & 357

    I have Berry's 240gr .429's and 125gr .357's coming soon. I've loaded a lot of Berry's in 9mm for target/plinking, I've only used full house or lead in 44/357. These would be launched from a GP100, Ruger SBH and Marlin 1894. I know I can use Unique, but I have only 1 pound left, while I have...

    When is enough enough

    I reload pistol for volume, and rifle for accuracy. A rifle's barrel wears over time and thus, new loads *need* to be developed. EG, length modified, etc.

    Neck Turning and Chamber Size

    Walkalong - that is a very nice micrometer. My dad was a old school machinist and I remember that brand. I have a crappy digital micrometer, or caliper I think is a better word. I've wanted to upgrade for a while. A quick Amazon search doesn't turn up anything above the rest. Can you make a...

    Neck Turning and Chamber Size

    Ah thanks! I think he'll be using mostly Berger and Sierra. Going a little on the loose side, any pressure bump shouldn't matter.

    Neck Turning and Chamber Size

    What's a pressure bump at the base??

    Neck Turning and Chamber Size

    JF: True about the tension, I was just thinking that. I'd need some sort of ball micrometer to measure either wall thickness or ID. I have a 243 (shoots same bullets) and can measure pre-fire, post-fire and loaded rounds. The problem is I don't know the chamber dimensions of my rifle...

    Neck Turning and Chamber Size

    Jerkface: Further turning is only only going to thin the neck more. The bushing needs to be the right size Walkalong: I understand. If the neck turn option is chosen, which size bushing would you get? The bushings can run $25 ea. and I'm sure he'd rather not have a collection. From what...

    Neck Turning and Chamber Size

    A local reloading buddy bought a used, custom 6MMbr rifle and Redding custom competition dies. The chamber size is stamped on the bbl at .262. He has no live ammo, but a few spent cases from the previous owner. New, uncut Lapua brass with a bullet seated will not chamber, neck measures...

    AR Scope Mounts

    I read your review. Good info - thanks. Looks like a good buy. I am going to give it a try and can always sell it at a $40 loss if I don't like it. That's how I justify blind scope purchases - knowing if I buy well a can sell for a small loss.
