    Success! Shooting my First Rifle Reloads

    So a couple of days ago I stopped out at the range and shot my first rifle reloads out of my .270 Win. I am not a very good shot from a bench, so it usually takes me a few shots to figure out how to get steady. I sent my first two fouling shots downrange, and then fired a four shot group from my...

    Tikka T3 vs Win Mod 70 Featherweight

    I keep asking for advice on which rifle to buy. There are simply too many good rifles on the market, I just can't get it narrowed down to one. Wish I could buy a few, but I just have the cash for one good rifle the must stand up to hunting abuse for years to come. I basically had it narrowed...

    H-110 vs Lil' Gun for 357 Mag

    I am trying to decide what powder to use for full power heavy loads in my GP. First, I am looking at using Cast Performance 180gr gas checked bullets, but I can't decide which powder is best for this application. H 110 seems very well established, and somewhat of a standby, but Lil' Gun has...

    OAL Question

    I just started reloading for rifles, so my other experience is only with handgun ammo. I have been experimenting with different bullet seating depths, starting at just off the lands, and going all of the way down to minimum OAL. As OAL is increased from the minimum OAL listed in load books...

    Barnes TSX Load Data

    If this has already been discussed, I apologize, but I searched around and could not find the answer. My load books don't specifically cover loading with Barnes TSX bullets, but I have heard that they require specific load info but I am not sure. I might have to break down and buy the Barnes...

    Buying Hunting Rifle. Need Advice

    I have decided that I am going to get a new hunting rifle for next season. I have decided the caliber I want is .300 Win Mag, and I have narrowed the rifles down to four options, but I really can't decide which one to buy, or which is the better deal. Also, I am looking for something that is...

    Is R-P brass junk?

    Today at the range I split 4 cases! They were all R-P and for three of the cases it was the fourth time they had been shot. They did not split at the case mouth, just vertical cracks in the middle of the case. Here is what I don't understand: these were .38 special +p stamped cases, but were...

    30-06 vs 300 Win Mag

    Not trying to start any wars here, but I am looking to get a second hunting rifle and can't decide between 30-06 or a 300 win mag. I currently hunt deer, elk, and antelope in Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota with my 270win, and it has served me well. However, I feel a little under-gunned...

    Thompson/Center Venture

    I have been checking out the new(er) Thompson Center Venture rifle. I was at the local store and actually handled a few yesterday. They look really nice, action feels great and looks and feels very substantial. The important bits of the gun, trigger barrel and action are all from the more...

    Unburned powder in case and barrel, inconsistent burn?

    I am new to reloading, and recently finished making up my first batch of handloads for my Ruger GP100. I loaded some .38 special with Rainier Leadsafe 125 grains and 4.0 grains of HP-38 with an OAL of 1.502. My recipe book specifies a minimum OAL of 1.445 and a starting load of 3.8 grains for...
