I just received my Lyman dies for 300 Savage and I'm eager to get going. I was recently gifted a beautiful Savage model 99 in 300 Savage. I bought one box of Remington ammo just to see how it shot while waiting for dies. It's a very fun rifle to shoot. It's interesting to look at the case...

There is another thread dealing specifically with bushing type neck dies but I have a question about the other more traditional type necking dies. To begin with, I am completely sold on the Lee collet neck sizing design. I have them for 22-250, 243, and 308 cases. I like them so much that I...

Have any of you had any first hand experiences using the Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip bullets for hunting? I thought I had the perfect elk hunting combo using 160 gr Sierra BTSP bullets in my 7 mm mag. But yesterday I finally got around to shooting some rounds I had assembled a...

I normally shoot 150-168 gr bullets in my .308 like most folks do and I have recently achieved some very nice 0.5" groups with those. But the other day I felt like doing something completely different. About 8 months ago I picked up a box of 110 gr Sierra HP bullets on sale at the local store...

Several months ago I picked up 500 of the Missouri Bullet Co hard cast .357 bullets weighing 180 grs that they call the "Striker". I got sidetracked with my rifle test loading and didn't get around to shooting them until yesterday. It is basically a RNFP bullet with 2 lube grooves and a nice...

I have read that the deck height of shellholders is supposed to be 0.125". Yeah I know Redding makes some that are purposely made thicker so that the FL sizing die doesn't size as much. You can do that or else you can use a feeler gauge to back the die out by whatever increment you want...

I am curious if I could use one neck sizing die for 2 different cartridges of the same caliber. Say use a 30-06 neck die for a .308 or a .270 Win neck die on .270 WSM cases?

I got some hard cast 180 gr bullets in .358" from Missouri Bullet Co and I'm trying to figure out what powder combo will work best in my Blackhawk. It's not easy to find published load data for the 180 cast bullets. But so far, I have some starting points to try for my powders I have on hand...
