Stopped by scheels today in Iowa city after a visit to the university hospital. Decided to pick up a pound of of IMR 4166 with Enduron in it. The 22 cheetah mk1 I built likes to copper foul at around 4400 fps. Figured I would give this powder a try. So I picked up a pound today, got home...

I just happened to pick up some 40 grain Barnes varminator bullets, and wondering if anyone has had any experience with them in the 22 hornet. I was going to try and feed a few to my 22 cheetah and see at what velocity they start coming apart. but that is for a later date. I will most likely...

Im headed to south Dakota next month from the 14th to the 22. I am looking for some places to shoot some prarie rats. I was out there last year near Presho SD and we had a blast. We stayed for 3 days and shot on a ladies property who has since sold it. The new owners went ahead and poisoned...

So I just got a 22 hornet given to me. It's a Harrington richardson 157 with a mannlicher stock. It's case hardened and has beautiful colors. All in all its in good shape. I'm not a huge fan of the mannlicher stock but it's in good shape so why mess with what works! The only issue I have is...

After kicking around the idea for a bit, I finally loaded some up tonight. I started with a box of 28 ga shot shells that I found at Walmart go figure. I had hoped to be able to use the wad out of them. But the wad was to big at .510 . So I went to work the other day , and happened by a...

Does anyone have experience with the magneetospeed chrony's ? I am buying one tomorrow, but can't decide if the V3 is worth the extra 200 bucks.

I'm continuing on my .22 CHeetah MK1 build, and I'm at the case forming step. I'm trying to neck down .243 win to .22 CHeetah, it's not going so well!! So far I'm crushing the shoulders on half of my cases. Should I be annealing first? Then try to neck down? I was thinking it would make...

I have posted on here before about this cartridge, well I just got my barrel and dies for it yesterday in the mail! Finally coming together. Now the realization of the reality of not having squat for published data is sinking in. I bought 8 pounds of IMR 4064 which I plan on using in both...

I am currently building two rifles, a .22 CHeetah, and a 6.5x284 lapua. they are mainly going to be used once a year to go prarie dog hunting. Question to you guys is which scope should I be looking at? Last year I bought a Redfield revenge, and that was a huge mistake! At low power it...

I can't be the first one to have this idea.... We are always looking for things to do with spent primers, why not media for wet tumbling???

I am trying to work up some powder puff loads for the wife's new XD mod 2 that I got her for Christmas. I picked up a pound of BE 86 the other day and was wanting to give it a try. I have about 3k lead bullets of the correct weight for the 9mm but, decided because she was pregnant I would boil...

Today I was cruising Facebook checking out the reloading sites when I run across this gem. I wish there were less people out there giving terrible advice and passing themselves off as " experts ". The ones who will end up hurt are the same people who refuse to buy a manual, and the guy next...

A week ago I got the chance to take a tour of the Sierra bullet factory. I was pretty excited as I had wanted to do it for a while. Before I got a chance to do that we went to the factory seconds room and bought a few pounds of .308 bullets. Which were blems but for the life of me I can't see...

Hi everybody im new to this forum, and I am building a .22 CHeetah MK1. I know that the barrel life will be terrible and I know there is other cartridges out there that might do the same thing. I have wanted to build a wildcat rifle for quite some time, and this is the one I decided on. I...
