Best wishes for 2014.. No Regrets!

I picked up a H&R 1871 single shot in .25-06 Rem for a backup whitetail rifle. I couldn't find brass but have a couple hundred .30-06 that I had lying around and haven't had any luck with this combo. I cleaned the brass quite well and used a RCBS FL .25-06 die along with Imperial Sizing Wax...

I was loading up some 50 grain V-Max bullets in .223 this evening and I came across a problem. As I was seating the bullet to 2.200" per Hornady 8th edition book spec, my Lee die bottoms out and won't seat the bullet beyond 2.250" without conflict. If I crank the seating stem down a bit more, I...

Anyone out there have any opinions to offer on either the Hornady AutoCharge, or RCBS Chargemaster versus the traditional methods I have been using? I often drop a charge from my Ohaus measure and trickle on a scale using a Lee dipper. Is it worth the money?

1# and 8# available. H335 1# available. IMR4895 8# available.

I am limited at the local indoor range to shooting 44 special rounds. Anybody here have concerns/advice/reasonable data to load up some 44 special rounds with a lot of thump for my Ruger .44 mag blackhawk? I've read an Elmer Keith report about using a lot of 2400 with lead bullets, something...

Howdy, I own a Kimber 4" 1911 (alloy frame) that I bought new about 5 years ago. It has issues with FTF quite often. I have tried a Chip McCormick magazine vs. the factory with no change. I have shot about 700 rounds through this pistol and should be passed the "break-in" period. I have tried...

Need to purchase a nice rifle to scope and use at long range for thin-skinned game this season. Looking at a Thompson Center/Encore rifle in .280 Remington. Any thoughts/opinions on this rifle/caliber combination. I cannot find them locally but found a supplier at a great price. Thank you.

Long story short, I loaded up some .45 acp loads with 230 grain round nose plated HSM bullets for a Para-Ordnance 1911 .45 acp. More than half will not chamber easily and many leave the slide out of battery. I ran them though a Dillon Precision case gauge and most of them do not pass the...

Hi all, I have a 5.56 Nato 16" rifle and need load data for the NATO round with BL(c)-2. If anyone has data that is much appreciated. I have a few loadbooks but none have the right data. I have 55 grain FMJ, 55 grain HP, and 62 grain FMJ to load up. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

I've wanted one good "do all" rifle for target shooting and hunting coyote to mule deer. A friend suggested a .25-06 caliber. I found that I like the Tikka T3 stainless lite rifle and have a question for y'all reloaders. Does anyone here reload for it? Does anybody here really like that caliber...

So I am working up loads for a .44 special snub. Tried Unique for a pleasant surprise, but dirtier than 2400. 2400 gave me a ton of unburnt powder and would even cause the brass to jam from grains clogging up the works. Any other powder that works as well as Unique but cleaner? I am going to try...

Does anyone here have first hand experience crafting real silver bullets? If so, what advice can you offer regarding the casting of such a projectile? Do I need to add graphite to the mold before pouring to absorb the oxygen as the silver cools? How hot do I need to get the silver before pouring...

I just got back from the range and much to my surprise, a target full of keyholes sat in front of my eyes. I loaded up some ammo, a start load of 52.0 grains and a midrange load of 54.0 grains of BL-C(2) for my Russian Mosin Nagant. Using Hornady 150 grain SPBT bullets, I expected velocity...

Has anyone seen this video where Richard Lee uses his prototype case trimmer. It looks like a hybrid case length trim die with a spin type cutter that cuts and chamfers all in one. Check it out. I will be looking at those when they come out for all that 5.56x45mm brass...

Is this a good price? I am looking for a single shot .22 hornet. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=272020745

Hello, I am going on my first hunt in Arizona this month. I bought a leftover tag for rifle Javelina and have a Win 94 .30-30. The rifle is a bare, light weight carbine with a Williams peep sight and Walmart sling. Anyone here have a comment on a .30-30 for collared peccary? Should I consider...

I am really getting the feeling that Winchester 231 is just the best overall pistol powder. Any comments?

I have about 150 pieces of .380 auto brass. Can I load it successfully with 9mm dies? Has anyone tried this before? I don't have any bullets, so I haven't tried it yet.

Anyone use Bluedot with 200 grain Speer Gold Dot .44 special bullets? I don't show a listing in the Speer manual with Bluedot, however, I have load data from Hornady that uses Bluedot with 200 Grain XTP. Please educate me if I should use a different powder. Thanks.
