I'm planning to give turkey hunting a try this year. I don't have a turkey gun and I'm not ready to plunk down the cash for one until I'm convinced I'll be doing more turkey hunting. That's why I'm looking for the strange load in the title. I'd use a regular load in my .223 or .243 but I'd...

I’ve been hoping to purchase a rifle in 6mm Remington. I wanted to find a good quality firearm with a regular contour/weight, 26” barrel and a twist rate of 1 in 12. I’m not looking to shoot bullets heavier than 90gr, so stabilization won’t be a problem at the slow twist rate. I want the...

I've been watching on Ebay for a deal on a Rock Chucker. So far I haven't found one that was inexpensive enough and in good enough shape to bid on. So, I'm leaning toward buying a new one. Of concern to me are a couple of comments I've seen that indicate the newer "Supreme" version of the...

Not sure what happened the first time I posted this. Here it is again. I'm working up some loads for a brand new 270Win bolt gun I purchased recently. In the process, I discovered that my case trimmer wasn't doing as consistent a job as I thought it was. I set up up and tested the first...

For anyone that's using my multi-purpose gun log (Excel spreadsheet), I've posted an updated version on GlockTalk. The new version's shooting log will automatically total the number of rounds fired from each of the firearms in your gun inventory. For anyone that's not using it but interested...

I'm getting ready to switch the bullet and primer brands I've been using to reload 223REM. The cases and powder will remain the same. Here's what I have: Cases: LC98 Powder: H335 Old bullets: 52gr HPBT Speer Match Old primers: WSR (Winchester Small Rifle) New bullets: 52gr HPBT...

I just sat down to start the reloading process on some Lake City 30-06 brass. With some difficulty, I was able to decap the first case. I'm afraid I'm going to break my decapping pin on the next one. The center of the primer is bulging out of the primer pocket but it won't break free. The...

Ive seen a couple attempts to put together a group purchase of 357SIG case gauges. Neither attempt panned out. Im going to give it a go. Ive already got people over at the SigForum committed to buying 11 of the 50 minimum count I need to get L.E. Wilson to do a custom run. If you're...

I'm getting ready to work up the first load for my 223 Remington bolt gun. After reading more than a couple of "how to" articles, I've put together a little spreadsheet to help figure out the optimum powder weight and COL. I'm guessing many here have created similar tools. Certainly, many...

First I purchase a Lee funnel to use with my reloading setup only to find that it doesn't appear it will function well reloading 223 shells. I figure it's no big deal, funnels aren't terribly expensive, so next time I place an order, I buy a nice Redding funnel. Surely this will be a step up...

I just looked at the spent primers I took out of some Georgia Arm Canned heat (reloads). I'd say they were flattened showing signs of over presurization. Can some some confirm my suspicion? Thanks!

I just hand primed my first 223REM brass with my brand new RCBS hand primer. I followed all of the directions. The device seems to be quality hardware. One of the justifications for buying a hand primer was the "feel" it affords. Well, I can feel the primers moving into the case just fine...

I'm about to start reloading my first 223 Remington cartridges for my heavy-barreled, 1 in 12†twist, bolt rifle. I've read a bunch and I have an idea how to proceed, but I'd like to get some input. Here's what I have planned: Objective: Only one - Accuracy Supplies: AA2230 powder...
