My Walmart here in Peachtree City, GA just burned down. Still under investigation for the cause, but they think it is arson. To me, this is good thing, other than the loss of people's jobs and tax money. I used to shop them 10 - 20 years ago. I remember 15 years ago they once had Federal 308...

I'd go 223 as it is the cheapest to shoot accurate. 22Mag is great too, but rimfire is not accurate unless you find the right ammo and usually it is the most expensive ammo. I have CZ 22Mag that is very accurate, but only with CCI V Max, which is very hard to find now and it ain't cheap, like...

I say keep the AR-10 and save up for a bolt action. I have a DPMS LR-308 with a 24" bull barrel and it is easily less than 1MOA with the right reloads. I also have a $600 Rem SPS "tactical" 20" bull barrel bolt action that is probably 0.5MOA with the right reloads. Each gun has its advantage...

My avatar shows 1953 Bulgarian 7.62 x 25 Tokarev ammo. About every 3rd round in my Polish Tokarev pistol will have a cracked neck. I've chronographed it, the ammo is hot - about 1880 fps and pretty consistent for such old ammo, about 100 fps variance on average. I don't think the brass aged...

I exclusively use the Lee trimmers with a cheap cordless drill. It is fast and very consistent. I usually, trim the case, clean primer pocket, run a drill bit into the inside of the case's primer pocket to smooth out the primer pocket edge (only on first reloading), chamfer the inside and...

yep, I think everyone has a story like this. I ordered Fed ex, some $1500 speakers, 2 huge boxes. Sat at my house watching the street, saw the Fed ex truck go by the house, and watching the tracking info on the internet. Update says delivered but not at my house. I immediately call Fed ex...

I like the Sierra manual. Has many pages on 308. They list their most accurate loads and my guns usually agree. Also has a page of history on each caliber. Also has many pages on reloading tips.

Every tool has its purpose. Like a digital scale, they have their purpose and the cheap one's are not that accurate. But if used right, they can be consistent and make some accurate measurements, even though the tolerance of the accuracy is low. I have a cheap Caldwell chronograph and I use...

Seeing those Winchester primer holes offshoot like that made me go check the 2 bags I just bought in 30-06. I haven't opened them yet but I checked about 10 of them through the bag and none looked defective. I guess I got lucky. The reason I bought them is the Hornady 30-06 brass I had...

Really no need to try to get to max velocity unless you are shooting out to 600 yards or something. Its best to find a good safe load for your rifle that is easy on your gun, easy on your brass, very reliable and close to max velocity. 100 - 200 off max velocity is a good load and probably...

I've paid about $100 per 1,000 the last 2 years. Before 2 years ago, I was only reloading large rifle and still have many primers that I paid less than $32 per brick. But, I got into small pistol and small rifle, so I got to buy at market price. I bought a brick from Powder Valley a year ago...

I think each gun and barrel is unique. You need to do trial and error. But, I'd start with the basic go to bullets - such as Sierra Matchking and Nosler Match bullets. Around 68 gr.

If it's not a huge wholesaler, ask for a phone number and call them. I've bought a few from GB from small sellers. I have called them up and asked about the gun and everything seems legit. Have been satisfied with what I've gotten.

I been using the Lee lock stud case length trimmers for about 15 years and like it. I connect it to a cordless drill and you can trim a lot of cases really fast and no guess work. I trim every firing for rifles.

30-06 - Bought my first M1 Garand a year ago and already had most of the reloading components for it, except brass. It makes sense to reload only for this gun, due to its specific pressure curve.

I remember 15 years ago at a gun show, a guy was selling privately a $75 357 blued revolver. I think it was a Charter Arms or Taurus. It was really beat up, but the guys said it worked. I passed on it and then thought about it and decided to go back and find the guy and buy it. I mean, $75...

I only shoot Bulgarian late 50's ammo out of my Polish Tokarev. I have clocked a lot of 85gr bullets at 1,880fps. 1 out of 3 have cracked necks. But, the pistol shoots them without any issues. This is one of my favorite guns to shoot.

If there is some merit in the fact that recoil does push the barrel up some, even in a heavy bull-barreled rifle, causing the bullet to aim upward before exiting the barrel: This could be proven with a simple experiment. #1 Aim the gun at the bulls and use a simple rest to rest the gun...

I've been involved in manufacturing for 20+ years and, just like any business, it's only as good as its people. I've seen state of the art factories that had high employee turn around with very poor quality and I've seen very old factories with the average worker been there for 15+ years...

Yep, I'm a small time shooter and I can spend a few thousand bucks and have enough reloading materials to last my lifetime. I've got more time now to reload, so I only buy factory ammo for the brass. Black powder - I only have one revolver and a mini cannon, so a few pounds will last me. I...
