    What do you think is the major "sleeper" cartridge out there?

    I must agree with blackops with the 7mm WSM. Never hear about it and is a very impressive round. I do not personally have one, but a friend shoots it in a Savage. Very impressive. Vince

    Understanding lead?

    I'm loading some 40 S&W lead loads for the first time with HS-6 and I have not been able to find a load with HS-6. I'm going to load a GAT roundnose bullet 180 grain, .401 diameter and lubed. I'm not sure about the hardness, but a box of .38 SWC had a hardness of 18 on it so I wouldn't think it...

    .30-30 powders

    BL-C2 for me. Does anyone else use this powder for 30-30? Great velocity and low pressure. Just work your load until your grouping at a 100!

    Remington Core lokt powder?

    I've tried powders, seating depth, different cases, primer combinations, etc. I had alot of remington 150gr core lokts and used them as fouling rounds, his gun didn't like them either, but never the 165's. I told him to pick up the 165's just because his gun didn't like the 150's and I've never...

    Remington Core lokt powder?

    Hello everybody, I was wandering if anyone knows what powder remington uses in their .30-06 165gr core lokts. I have been trying to work up a good load in my friends savage 110 for a couple of season now and have gotten only decent grouping, nothing great. I've tried 4350, 4895, 414, 380...

    Help with a reduced load for a Kid

    Thanks for the input everyone. Its so difficult to get the kids what they need to enjoy our sport especially when we need them to continue on. Finding a recoil pad has been just as much work. It seems it should be easier. Vince

    Help with a reduced load for a Kid

    ArchAngelcd, Where did you get that data. I couldn't seem to find it ? I found where it stated 60% reduction from maximum of H4895. I tried to contact Hodgdon concerning IMR 4895 and no one answered. I'll try again today. My question then is why does Hodgdon list 35.2 (130 gr) and 35.6 (120...

    Hunting with a rifle is unfair!

    Isn't it funny how its all unfair to anti's, like Rossie O., until someone threatens her life and amazingly and instantaniously she has 5 or so armed body gaurds protecting her. She just had to pick up the phone for her hunters. We have to train all year.

    Remington model 788

    thanks Chris that helped. I had to pull the pin under the trigger assembly to remove the bolt. The saftey will not move and that helped me understand the mechanism better. The trigger mechanism appears to be mauser style which I'm somewhat familiar, but I'm no gunsmith vince
