    Mrs Awesome's First Buck

    This past Sunday came cruising through about an hour after daylight. She first spotted him about 150yds out. He made a bee line to us and turned at about 60yds, that's where I stopped him. She dropped him in his tracks with my 280 Rem. I load reduced recoil for her 7mm-08 but hadn't confirmed...

    Odd Ladder Load Results

Last 4 rounds going up in .3gr increments. The goal was to record velocity of each charge weight. Chronograph was set about 3 -...

    Barrel Twist Rate

    I know about twist rates and what they mean as far as what weight bullets they will stabilize. But more often I'm hearing shooters talk about getting a custom barrel that starts out with X twist rate and ends with X twist rate. Like " my new barrel starts with 1:10 twist rate and ends in 1:9"...

    Taurus 627 Tracker 357 Mag?

    My newest purchase. Purchased (factory new condition) from a seller on GB I've bought from many times before with no issues. All stickers and labels attached from factory, but was disappointed to see some fouling in the barrel. I guess it was from factory firing before shipping. I was able to...

    Necks... Dirty or Corroded?

    Okay these are 22-250. Fired maybe a year ago, H380 powder. They've been sitting in my "to be processed" lot but I'm just now getting to them. After depriming/resizing and going around the necks with Scotch Brite, vibratory tumbling for about 6 hours in walnut media, they look like this. Some...

    What brand bullets on your bench

    This should be fun. 1. How many calibers you load for? 2. How many different brands of bullet you got? 3. What brand do you have the most of? For me... 1. 15 (14 rifle + 9mm) 2. 6 (Hornady, Barnes, Berger, Sierra, Nosler, Speer) 3. Sierra. I have a make of Sierra in every caliber I...

    28 Nosler Update

    Was able to shoot my Christensen Arms Mesa for the first time over the weekend after hunting and I'm tickled pink so far. I didn't get to shoot groups just messing around. I had one sand bag shooting off of a brick pillar. No load development just book recommended OAL and 1.5gr below Barnes...
