    .25-06 v 6.5 Swede

    And who says what the actual "killing power" of any bullet and velocity combination provides to define "enough gun", especially WRT non-dangerous game? The .25-06 Remington has been successful in taking crocodile in Africa in yesteryears without wailing and gnashing of teeth, and prior to that...

    .25-06 v 6.5 Swede

    God point, but I see it as more fundamental than velocity alone but I do give the concept of sectional density - when combined with bullet construction. In this example, comparison between the following: A well constructed.257" diameter bullet weighing 120 grains with Sectional Density = 0.260...

    Lee Safety Prime Problems

    Personal attack with a smiley emoticon? I'll give you opportunity to address that impression instead of clicking on "Report". I do know there are folks who don't care for facts regardless of however supporting links are presented. You say that's what you did but characterize me as "odd" for...

    Called Remington Ammo Plant in Lonoke AR today for Update

    Mr. Watson, If you *honestly* read my posts, you will find nothing in them concerning any powder being *American* or not. I'll challenge you to use the "Quote" feature to demonstrate otherwise. So, why are you deliberately attempting to chane the *honest* content of my posts???? Please do us...

    Large Small Rifle Primers for 6.5mm Creedmoore

    Large rifle primers *may* be easier to find currently, or able to be obtained at lower cost per primer. Maybe. Might.

    Well I answered all including "to wit", and no permission required for me to do so.

    Lee Safety Prime Problems

    You specifically asked about "like" at the end of your previous post. I'm just reporting exactly what I think about "like" exactly like you asked. Plus adding material rounding out a more comprehensive picture WRT Federal primers from what Federal prints on their own packages for their reloading...

    Lee Safety Prime Problems

    Well, personally I like it less so than the updated instructions located at the web link included in my previous post in this thread. It simply restricts Federal primers to only 1 at a time in the tray. The Lee Safety Prime system that's the original focus in this thread segregates the tray &...

    Lee Safety Prime Problems

    I'm assuming you're referring to the Lee Auto Prime II? I picked one of these up a while back, NOS for $10. I haven't used it yet, but I was impressed by the design basically being a ram prime style with a chute / trough and the positive reviews I found across the internet. Discontinued by Lee...

    Safety Glasses Just Protected Me

    Glad to hear no eye damage, plus no ER visit to pluck out metal shards from the rest of your face @peeplwtchr! I had catract surgery in Nov & Dec and no longer wear glasses for distance vision but I still need readers for close work. I'm going to have to consciously remind myself regularly to...

    Best Metallic Cartridge Manual

    Hard copy I've picked up Speer 9-11 & 13-15, Hornady 10, Lee 2.0, Accurate Arms #2, Sierra , and various smaller pamphlets from assorted manufacturers and years. Digital all the matter available in those 3 Marvin Stuart directories, Accurate Arms # 2 (2000) and the 2002 & 2003 supplements...

    .25-06 v 6.5 Swede

    I'm not Paul but consider Swift A-frame, Federal Fusion & Trophy Bonded Tip, and Woodleigh Weldcore unless lead free projectiles are required. Go to 136 grains and add Federal Edge TLR & Terminal Ascent. But I 100% get what HowieG's question was about - a well constructed .257 117 to 120 grain...

    Magnum primers for .270 Win

    Has something drastically changed in dimensions if large rifle primers and large rifle magnum primers? The chart from 1995 at this link doesn't show difference of 0.009" between large rifle primers and large rifle magnum primers, and has data by primer brand...

    6.5x52 Carcano - Reloading surplus bullets

    There's some variety of 6.5mm "old school" cup and core soft point, hollow point, and FMJ projectiles available in current production but nothing quite like those vintage milsurp RNFMJ bullets! Hornady offers both a 6.5mm 160 grain RNSP bullet with .264 diameter (Hornady # 2640)...

    What I'm offering is a vintage Ohaus 5-0-5 (no RCBS badging, tan base) or vintage Ohaus 5-0-2 (also tan base, of course also no RCBS badging). @peeplwtchr can give first hand review on the current RCBS 500 vs a vintage Lyman D5.

    CCI #400 srp substitute for SSP

    Speer's a good manufacturer to be contacted about bullets too. They can explain with more detail than is in their advertising material about how the Speer Gold Dot Jacketed Hollow Point bullets and Total Metal Jacket bullets are indeed jacketed bullets and the difference with the plated bullets...

    CCI #400 srp substitute for SSP

    The sticky Reloading Library of Wisdom here at THR includes a thread discrediting that premise. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/small-rifle-versus-pistol-primers.797529/#post-10169183

    .25-06 v 6.5 Swede

    Norma shows this stuff including velocity, drop, drift, and energy on their web site, I'm traveling (but not driving) ATM and there's no way I'm going to retype all that info into a post. A broader publication is the RUAG 2020-2021 catalog, an English language version is available for download...

    looking for tools

    I purchased 4 different preowned vintage beam scales to try out to see which models suited me best. The two I'm keeping are an Ohaus 10-0-5 and an Ohaus 10-10. I'm looking for good homes for the Ohaus 5-0-2 and Ohaus 5-0-5 (small chassis) scales I have. Both zero well, and I've successfully...
