    Should I lube before sizing these?

    If done properly, the powder coating won't come off when using Lee push thru sizers with or without any lube. I don't ever lube and have cast, powder coated and sized thousands of projectiles. I typically use Eastwood powders. You can do a smash test with a bullet and hammer to confirm the...

    Brownell's Howa Actions

    I like the green. Looks good. They definitely shoot but the magazines suck. Badly. No metal aftermarket option available that I ever found. The Internal box mag with hinged floor plate was expensive but it's really nice. It came from Jefferson Outdoor.

    Brownell's Howa Actions

    6.5 Grendel 1500 mini action in a Boyds Prairie Hunter stock. It's pretty heavy but shoots amazing. I've since replaced the ****ty Howa magazines with hinged floor plate and internal box mag.

    Dumb annealing question

    Silly question of the day. I've been reloading for almost 40 years. My wife got me a pretty nice annealing machine (Ugly Annealer) for Christmas. I had some older 30.06 brass that I sized in September. The necks were so hard, they squealed when I sized them. I'm sure they had hardened due to...

    Henry Mares Leg 357 - California

    My wife wants a mares leg. Not sure why but she's insistent. A local dealer has a 44 mag model on the shelf but she wants a 357. He also wants too much compared to what I could pay off Gunbroker even with shipping and transfer. I can't seem to find reliable info on whether these "pistols" are...

    Scope base for Howa M1500 Mini

    I have the Outer Impact base on mine. It does make it tight to get my fat sausages in the receiver to push cartridges in since I got rid of the mags and run a box mag with floorplate.

    Building up a shooting berm/backstop ideas?

    I just built this berm at my place in Idaho with my tractor. I'll be building a permanent bench with canopy in the spring at 100 yards.

    Annealing Brass

    I have never annealed in the almost 40 years I have been reloading. With that, I am in the process of sizing up some case necks and might try to anneal the parent brass to help avoid splitting, cracks, etc. I watched some videos on annealing without a machine and it looks fairly simple. My...

    Who's never annealed brass?

    Been reloading for over 40 years and never annealed a single piece of brass of the 25+ calibers I reload for. Seems to be the current thing to do... Why start now? Compel me...

    Thompson Center status

    I'm a bit confused... I had read a number of months back that Smith & Wesson had planned to divest the T/C name and the product line. I figured they were gone which is the information I passed on to someone looking to have a Contender serviced. He sent me a link shortly thereafter of what...

    Cwd

    I've hunted central Wyoming for the last 32 years. It's pretty much decimated the herds in the area I hunt. Mule deer damn near cease to exist now. 20 years ago it wouldn't be uncommon to see 100+ mule deer in a day. With that, I've eaten a ton of the meat over the years. None of my harvested...

    My Ruger American

    I have the one Jefferson originally offered on the rifle. The factory plastic trigger guard was junk. It greatly improved the mag release button and its nicely machined from aluminum. Still however used the cheap Howa mags. I'll have to look at what they have now. Oregonsmith offers an...

    My Ruger American

    I have the Howa mini and love it with one exception. The magazines are cheap plastic with no aftermarket option for something better. I'll be replacing mine with an internal box mag. The other negative is its heavy as hell but I suppose I did that with the Boyds stock and the scope I chose. I...
