Well I am not even close to the first person who headed down this road, but ya really don't see much if anything mentioned about the handloaded portion of this caliber. So figured I would throw in my initial foray into getting started up. I first found a video on someone making them, then...

I picked up a box of these a while back to use in my TC 30-30 Ackley barrel. My plan is to run either H4895 or H335. Just wondering if anyone has run any of these through any 30-30 and if so how did they work out? These will mostly be for fire forming but this barrel has a propensity for...

Sometime around Sept of last year I picked up a jug of the SW Precision Rifle with all intention of loading up several calibers. Well so far, all I have worked up a load for has been some .223 - 64 and 69gr. Just wondering if any of y'all have played around with this powder, and if so, what...

I know it was rumored once upon a time, but now it is reality. If your looking for new, never fired 30 Carbine brass, Starline now has it in stock.

I have half a dozen or so different cast bullets that I will be working up new loads for int he next couple of weeks weather permitting. Some for my 357, some for my 41, and 454. I am hopeful that these will all be finished up before the new year starts off and I will not have to be messing...

So it is nice to have a close friend to hunt and fish with, but who is also gracious enough to give me a call and tell me, " I got one picked out fer ya". He also mentioned that if I came to bring something "long". Between us " long" means reaching out past 250+ yards and going on out from...

Like the longish title says, I'm simply looking for calibers that you DO use RL-17 with, and what have you found with it? Mainly I know it is a rough fit in the area of the 4350's, and that some report exceptional velocities when using it. I shoot several calibers I would like to play with it...

With a little work with my alloy I began to pour up some cast hollow points from the excellent MP Cramer style molds. It was a learning curve to say the least. Just getting cast up into magnum loads with no gas checks is sometimes a balancing act on a razor, much less getting a hollow point to...

I have a shelf full of manuals, just trying to narrow down which powders are tops. I shoot mostly big bore and lean towards the upper end loads with the slower powders, these are for the wife pure and simple, for target shooting only. Last time I loaded any WC's was close to 30 years ago...

Ok here's the deal. I normally just toss in a cap or two of New Finish or Flitz in the tumblers when my media gets changed out. I use the crushed walnut for the rough stuff and then the corn cob for final or the cleaner stuff. I know the SS pins are all the rage now but I bought the media in 50#...

The oldest grandson just turned 11 over Thanksgiving. He isn't new to hunting and has been out with me since he was old enough to understand what Ssshhhh meant. He got his first hog just before his 4th birthday using reduced loads out of my Ruger 308 Compact. That said the wife and I bought...

I am looking for field reports on the Hornady 154gr Interbond bullets, specifically when used in the 7mm Rem Mag or the 7mm STW. That said pretty much any of the newer 7mm short mags would be fine also. If any of you have used them on anything pretty much I am simply looking for detailed...

We got up to the farm in time for the youngest grandson(4) and I to hit a pop up the daughter had set up a few hours before. We weren't sure if we would see anything but were hopeful that one of the sounders of hogs that have been hitting the feeder would make it by. I brought my bow and my 45...

We picked up the daughter's 2011 buck from the taxidermist yesterday. He did a wonderful job on it and I think she will be proud of him. This buck has a bit of history with both of us. Year before last I had him dead to rights at 30yds with my bow and cleanly shot right under him. I clearly...

Well it got the fire lit under us when we pulled the game cam cards week before last. We have a small family farm of about 118 acres and with a bit of management we have been able to hold a few does to it year round. IT is all low fenced East Texas sandy loam and red clay. We might have 30 acres...

This one soaked up two 85gr bonded core .243's through the shoulders from less than 65 yards and after two hours, still required a finishing shot from my 454 to put him down for keeps. My friend and I were both astonished with damage done from the two bullets and the fact the deer was still...

Well the wife and I took a little time off work to come up to the country and have time with the grandkids, and piddle around on the farm. I decided that since we weren't going to be tackling anything this weekend to haul up a box full of reloading junk and try out a couple of loads. Well not...

You have been practicing with a bow for most of the year, and having a ball hunting deer and hogs. One particular weekend your with a friend on his property in search of some porkers to fill up the freezer with. Bearing in mind it is also deer rifle season as well. So you had out knowing the...

I am wanting actual experience with the use of these bullets. I am considering ordering some for a specific load developed especially for a low velocity/recoil load. I know that there are less expensive bullets, but for this specific purpose, they have been tried and just don't cut it. The load...
