    Fed 150 primer blow up in Lee Press

    I bought the new Lee auto index turret press when it came out with the primer feed gizmo. It looks like crap and works to perfection. I have loaded over 1000 Fed LR Magnum primers in it. I started handloading at 14 and will be 65 on 5/15. You name it, I've owned it. In all that time I have NEVER...

    reloading 303 brit

    IMO the 3 keys with a SMLE are bullet diameter, necksizing and headspace. A .313-.315 200-250gr gascheck cast bullet will generally work well with moderate loads and unless you plan to hunt BIG game, will kill as well as a factory 30-30. Necksizing has been covered, I would add a Lee factory...

    30cal. Sabots

    I think Remington still makes them in some factory ammo. My friend's 788 30-30 shoot them very well (1.5"@100) but in my 30-06 721 it was a 6" 5 shot group. My guess is the Sabot worked better at lower velocity as they do in muzzle loaders and shotguns.

    Perplexed about bullet behavior

    You can load any new brass case for 30-06 to the same pressures as a 300 magnum of any stripe, IF the action is up to it. The only independent variable, if all others have been removed, is how much powder is burning behind the bullet. A 30-378 will shoot a stout bullet (lets says Barnes 180 TSX)...

    Glock Reloads and what i heard from a gun store.

    Tell Paul Larry says hello from WY. I have shot 3000+ rounds in my old 9mm Glock, most of them elcheapo reloads with lead bullets. They all worked fine, and a magazine of jacketed factory S&Bs every 500 round took care of any real or imagined leading. It has had no special care and is just my...

    Hunting with a rifle is unfair!

    Excellent post! +100... should be required reading for all hunters. The belief that technology is the cure all for hunting success is very popular and very wrong. I can tell from your "handle" that you know whereof you speak. Love those H&Hs. Just finished up this one (400 H&H) in spring 2006...

    Waterfowling without dogs

    Making WWII 1911A1 clone

    Too bad, you just missed a fully document NIB presentation Singer at Rock Island Auctions. You could have bought the gun OR a new Corvette! There are, frequently, genuine WW II 45s on gunbroker and auction arms. Some are quite reasonable if they are mixed rebuilds like my Dad's that I have...

    S&W 500 or S&W 460 for dangerous game defense?

I have several 30 caliber magnums that I hunt with and shoot enough to be confident with BUT when I want to shoot a bunch of 4 position out comes the 10 pound Tikka 308 target/sniper or the trusty U.S. Rifle cal. 30 M-1. Extensive recoil...

    S&W 500 or S&W 460 for dangerous game defense?

    The gun you will carry is the one you'll have Living with Mr Griz, I have had several large bore handguns. All but one were too heavy to hike with and even a pain on a horse. My choice is the 329 S&W 44 Magnum loaded with max loads of H110 and 300 gr hardcasts. Tests on dead steers gave all the...

    Best chronograph

    that's up to you but had you tested a whole bunch different brands as the guys at our club have, you would find, as we did, that there wasn't any worthwhile difference except in convenience.

    Front Bead Protruding Into Barrel???

    rem 870 sight I assume your gun is a cylinder choke? If so I'd find a wood dowel close to bore diameter, wrap some 400 grit wet paper around it and polish off the burr. If you want to be anal, follow that with crocus cloth and it will be slicker than any 870 bbl Remington ever made. Turning the...
