    Most Consistent Primers

    What primers have you all found to be most consistent, specifically large rifle size? Related, does changing the primer change the point of impact? I reload for 30-06, mainly for hunting purposes. Is it worth trying different primers to try to tighten my groups little? Generally, I've been...

    Winchester Model 42 - Small Hairline Crack in Stock

    I just acquired a Winchester Model 42. It's in good shape, except that I noticed a small hairline crack in the stock where it meets the receiver. It is barely detectable, but I don't want it to get any bigger. Any suggestions on how to repair that? Thank you.

    Mossberg 835 Jamming

    Hello, I have a Mossberg 835 that has been jamming. If there is more than one shell in the magazine, the mechanism that is supposed to only dispense one shell from the magazine malfunctions, and allows the second shell to enter the chamber. This causes the gun to jam, and I am unable to...

    Remington Mode 25 Parts

    I have a Remington Model 25, chambered in 25-20. I’m looking for the piece that wedges under he rear sight to adjust for windage, and am having trouble finding it. Do any of you have any suggestions to figure out exactly what part I need, and where to order it? Thanks!

    Neck Collett vs Full Length Resizing

    I just purchased a Lee Neck Collett die for my bolt action 30/06. Other than brass longevity, are there any other advantages (or disadvantages) to using the neck collett die instead of the full length resizing die?

    New brass vs. fired

    Is there a noticeable difference in accuracy when using brand new brass, compared to once or twice fired brass? Specifically, I'm looking at Nosler Custom Rifle brass, and the fired brass would be fired out of my gun. I'm looking for accuracy out to 300 yards or so for hunting purposes, not...

    Hot Barrel

    When working up a rifle load, how long do you want between shots to ensure that a hot barrel isn't causing accuracy issues?

    OAL Variance

    I would call myself a beginner reloader/handloader. I am not a match shooter, and I don't plan to shoot beyond 300 yards (maybe 400, tops), but am trying to work up a hunting round up to that range. I'm getting about +/- .005 inches on my OAL when reloading for my 30-06. Is that an acceptable...

    Lid left off powder

    Hello, I realized that I had the lid off a pound jug of Varget powder for a few weeks. The powder was in my basement, which is dry, and is a relatively consistent temperature (probably around 65-70). Will the powder still be good to use, or should I throw it out? Thanks!

    Increasing OAL

    I'm reloading for my 40 S&W, and an OAL of 1.135 seems to work well. I have some data for Berry's bullets, that has an OAL of 1.125. This shorter case length seems to lead to problems with the round failing to cycle correctly (the subsequent round will only chamber halfway before getting...

    Flat vs. Hollow Base

    I'm fairly new to reloading, and just bought some Berry's plated 155 gr flat point (FP) bullets for my 40 S&W, but can't find any data to load them with Accurate No. 5. I do, however, see data for Berry's plated 155 gr round nose hollow point (HBRN), and another FP plated bullet, and they are...
