    Cannelure Affect on Accuracy

    I am glad someone brought this up. I asked this on another forum probably 2 years ago and someone said they are as accurate as non-cann bullets. I have not tried the Hornady bullets with cann but am going to after the holidays.

    Hornady 50gr. Vmax loads with Benchmark

    I looked around the internet and cannot find loads for the 223Rem (.224) with Hornady Vmax bullet with Benchmark powder. I have Varget, H335, Imr4895, H322 on hand. I would appreciate if those who have tried Varget/Benchmark to post loads. Should I use loads from the next weight in the lineup...

    questions on reduced loads

    When I went to a GS and bought some H4895 I saw some Speer .243 85 and 90gr bullets and bought some of this. Looking at my Speer #12 manual it shows reduced loads with IMR4198 starting at 17gr and max at 19gr. Is it perfectly safe to test reduce loads with IMR4198? I ask this because I have...

    questions on reduced loads

    I finally got some H4895 powder. Going to load some reduced .243W loads for my son to shoot in his Ruger American Compact. Question I have is I read on Hodgdon website that I can take the max powder charge for a bullet that uses H4895 and use the 60% calculation of the max to find the reduced...

    Sightron rimfire scope

    I am curious about adjusting scopes when sighting in. The Sightron rimfire scope how do you adjust this scope? I.E if I shoot bullseye and the bullet impact is 2" low and 2" left do I move the vertical adjustment to the UP arrow? Or is it the opposite by moving the vertical adjustment following...

    Marlin Golden 39a

    I brought my Marlin 39a out of the grave. This is at least 35 years old and in almost pristine condition. I forgot completely how to take it apart since its been so long since I messed with a lever. I could not find the original manual so I download from the 'net. The doc I download is for a...

    cleaning 22RF (levers and bolts)

    I will start off saying that I finally brought from my childhood home my Marlin 39a and recently bought a CA American LH 22RF. I read on the 'net that someone said for the CZ you need to use a smaller bore-size rod to clean the bolt gun. What are they referring to? Buying a rod smaller than...

    Yearly Obligatory Squirrel Hunting Thread

    wankerjake, do you leave the bones in when you cook the squirrel in some kind of oil and before you bake for 90 minutes? I have heard of people who leave bones in and put in crockpot. also how do you freeze these if you do freeze them? Looks good and you have a beautiful family.

    Small game hunting: what's truly "powerful" enough?

    I am bringing this up because someone previously said that small game such as squirrels should be hunt with game bullets as labeled on the box. I bought a box of short game bullets but prefer the LR. However I want to see how many people have used a regular LR (hollow point or fmj) to hunt...

    First Mule Deer

    You should put the caliber/rifle and yards to shoot this Mule Deer. That way I will not have to read all through your post when I am in a hurry to go fix my darn truck for inspection. Looks like good country to hunt too!

    press cams over center

    I've always wonder *exactly* what is this? When setting up dies I set up by screwing down the die until it touches the shell holder when the shell holder is fully upward. And then I lower the shell holder and turn the die further down 1/8 to 1/4 and set the large nut. Why do they call this...

    removing unshot primers from cases

    here is the photo. the brass in question is on the left of the picture. the other brass is another brass for reference. note the left brass in the picture there are ring marks just above the head and just below the shoulder. it is hard to see here and I guess my camera cannot catch the shiny...

    removing unshot primers from cases

    Also I am using the RCBS x-sizer dies. And as stated no I did not lube inside the necks but when it was hard to push down on the ram I decided to brush the inside the neck and it seem to help a little...very little. If I need to lube inside the neck how much probably very little. Maybe I...

    removing unshot primers from cases

    Sorry for not being clear. I meant 2 grains. Note that I have not measured exactly how much "over" this bean scale it but with a certain check weight (I think it was the 20 grain weight from RCBS check weight) I verified this on my RCBS electronic scale and it was 20 grains. Put this on the beam...

    removing unshot primers from cases

    Ok. thought maybe the primer was going to get "very little" out of spec due to the pressure to instal the primer. So how do you check this 270W brass? The head of the case near the primer hole shows the brass is shiny hear the head and the same thing near but below the shoulder. I took a...

    removing unshot primers from cases

    I recently installed Fed210 on 270W case and loaded H4831 powder but have not load the bullet. There is one thing I am thinking out loud. This brass was shot in the same rifle as previously and I resize this brass on my new Redding Turret and RCBS dies that I have used with same brass. I noticed...

    questions on reduced reloads for my kid

    Boss, I did not think you were telling me an unpublished load. I was curious what your primer was for your load and was going to ask you this. I found out that the load I seen in a book with 85gr hpbt was with Fed210M and the M stands for Match...not Mag as I assumed it was. I am going...

    questions on reduced reloads for my kid

    I have both the IMR4350 and the H4350. The load book that lists all loads for the 243W shows for Sierra bullets (such as the 85gr HPBT) shows they use Fed210M. I do not have the mag primer so was wondering if the current book list a standard primer? The load book I have states for Sierra 85gr...

    questions on reduced reloads for my kid

    Sunray...your post gave me a chuckle. Here is why...I have a RH 788 carbine 243W (I am a lefty but got a good deal on this to play with so I bought it a few years ago.) and I decided to try to shoot the Winchester 243 80/100gr in this carbine and the recoil was more than I expected for a 18"...
