hi everyone. id like to get some thoughts on where to start. im new to reloading and i will be loading up 22-250 for my first caliber for a specific bolt action rifle. my purpose for reloading is to try to shrink my group sizes and ultimatly create some specific loads for certain hunting and...

i just won a remington 700 sps in 243 win. the barrel is a 1-9 and 1/8th twist. im going to do up some loads for this rifle and i was wondering if anyone could give me a recomendation on bullet weights to try first. seems like the twist rate is a little on the high side so i was thinking it...

i won a the same savage axis with the scope already mounted at a nra dinner banquet. i was pleasently surprised to find it shooting sub moa 5 shot groups on the first (and only) outing with it. i was shooting hornady varmint ammunition, mine is chambered in 22-250. the stock is cheap and the...

have you reloaded rounds for any other rifles?? if you have, and you have the same result, then something is going wrong at the loading bench. have you tried any other loads? powders, primers, bullets etc? what are the results? if its the loads, which i doubt it would be, something might...

hey p32, thanks for the input...actually i was thinking of getting varget as my first powder, just because there was soo much data available for it with different bullets for both the 223 and 22-250. was looking at this... http://www.accuratereloading.com/primer.html and was thinking of...

can someone please explain to me what, if any, the relationship between rifle twist rate and bullet weight is??? (in laymens terms) this might be an erroneous observation, but it seems like a lot of people with higher rates of twist seem to get better results with lighter bullets and visa versa.

okay when it comes to primers, do i need to use the exact primer listed in the load data? or will any primer do if it is the same size and mag/non mag? every different bullet or powder manufacturer seems to use a different primer so for each different load i will need different primers? how...

hi everyone, over the past month or so i have been buying all my reloading gear, and i believe im ready to get going on my first load. for my first attempt at this im going to load some 223 and some 22-250 the 22-250 will be neck sized, (the brass was fired out of the specific rifle it...

hi, does anyone here reload shells for duck hunting? if so, are you able to produce shells that out perform factory ammo? what tools are you using and what loads have you developed that you like? are you using steel or a more exotic shot? im trying to figure out if this is something that...

hi everyone, im trying to figure out what priming tool to buy. id like to get the most accurate tool i can but not trade off too much for speed either. i was looking at the rcbs bench auto prime, the forster bench primer seater, and the km hand tool with the guage. the km hand tool seems...

YES!!!!

hi everyone, i would like to hear your thoughts on the type of brass cleaning system that you use and like. i am undecided on what to buy. seems like the thumblers tumbler has generally very good reviews with ss media, but also seems like it adds a lot of extra difficulty and complication...

i have the pro chrono. it works well. as with all chronigraphs it can be tempermental if the lighting is not right. i ended up buying the light kit for mine. (i usually am set up in the shade.) if you have never owned a chronograph you might be very surprised at usefull all the "reporting...

in short, yes, but im not a vortex expert. i only own one, and i have probably the whole bushnell lineup practically. lol. everything from a banner right on up to the 6500. i have 5 elite 4200's (which are my favorite bushnells) although i think they were discontinued or maybe they just call...

i won a savage axis a while back and i was floored at how well a cheap out of the box rifle could shoot. maybe i just got lucky, but there are a lot of guys showing really nice groups with these on youtube and such. i wouldnt hesitate to recomend one to anyone on a tight budget. caliber...

accutrigger rocks!:) probably one of the best if not the best mass produced factory trigger imo

i like vortex scopes. i own a set of vortex binos and one vortex riflescope, but imo the pound for pound king is bushnell elite.... in other words best bang for the buck. thing is, everyone will have a different opinion on this... i really dont buy into huge objective lenses and light...

i agree... there is a lot of items around that cost manufactures $5 to produce that people will pay a lot more for because of brand name or hype.... i probably have over 20 sets of scope rings, some cheap, some more expensive (no $180 rings lol). ive only had one set that was actually bad...

wow, 1 inch at 50 yards is a lot better than mine. obvious stuff first: ammo is the same? bench rest and shooting conditions are the same? same model of 1022? how does the crown look on the rifle in question? any noticable dings? has the rifle in question been cleaned,...and if so...
