    6.5 grendel or 6.8 spc for boar

    Wow thanks a bunch all, great information. We'll definitely am leaning towards the little Howa in 6.5. I'm limited to Barnes pretty here and have had some great success with those in my 260. Forget the weight but remember ttsx. Thanks again all I really appreciate all the input

    6.5 grendel or 6.8 spc for boar

    Good afternoon. I will be going on a pig hunt here pretty soon and can't make up my mind on which rifle to bring. I have an AR Performance 6.8 or a Howa mini action 6.5 Grendel. Everything I've searched pretty came back to their the same out to 3 to 400 yds then the grendel takes over. I'm...

    Reloading Coated vs Jacketed bullets?

    Hey guys sorry if I get off topic. I have just recently bought some MBC coated 200gr 45's. Thing is I have well over a thou of various other non coated bullets. I was thinking of maybe just coating what I have. Is that feesable? When you cast your own bullets are they sized after coating? If so...

    Pistol primers vs rifle primers

    I've never really thought much about it. I have always used PP in pistols and RP in rifle. That's how most load data is written but I don't see an issue swapping as long as you maybe back off a tad. I bought a box of Remington SRP and was told not to use them in 223. The guy at the store said...

    338Win load range sugestion

    I'm getting ready to load up some rounds to break in my Vanguard. I purchased some Barnes 225 TTSX rounds. The only data I found using this Bullet is shows a range of 63 to 71 of H4831sc. I believe I have some H4350 but the data on Barnes shows IMR4350. Anyway I was thinking of starting out at...

    lee turret press?

    For sure get the Classic. It works well but needs a little finesse. Make sure you get extra ratchet nuts for it. Its a little plastic nut that indexes the press, super cheap and nice to have a few extra. You can also take the nut out and run it like a single stage. I bought extra tool heads and...

    Mexi Match for hunting ammo

    My buddy can't find Barnes ammo anywhere. I figured he could buy some 140gr 270wsm ammo and I could pull the bullets and substitute a Barnes 140tsx. Has anyone had luck with this? I can measure each bullet to seat at the same case depth, ogive, or OAL. I'm sure if it takes up the same case space...

    Desert Eagle and coated bullets

    I like shooting my 44 eagle but hate that I have to use expensive jacketed bullets. Has anyone ever pushed coated bullets in the power range to still cycle the action without issue?

    338 Win Mag

    I have just purchased a Weatherby Vanguard 338. I plan on using this for big game, Elk or Bear. I have ordered the rifle, brass and dies. Can anyone share some insight on bullet choice or powder. I have been reloading for several calibers for about 10 years or so. Most my shooting has been on...

    Model 1 Sales 7.62x39

    A good friend of mine at work is looking for a upper for plinking and just general fun range use. The upper in question is an A3 carbine 16" complete with BCG and charge handle. The price is right around $500. The ammo is cheap and that's the reason for this caliber as he doesn't reload. What...

    new to reloading

    the Hornady LNL head space gauge with 5 bushing set and bullet comparator and insert set along with a good set of calipers is a must. The gauges can be other than Hornady but I recommend those for the price point. Get a bullet puller, we all make mistakes. I have a RCBS one that works great and...

    270 load suggestions

    My other friend bought some Barnes factory loads and complained about the terrible accuracy. He contacted Barnes and was told the solid copper slugs like to be seated close to the lands. This is why I love handloading, being able to customize ammo for my rifle. If this is the case store bought...

    That's great shooting, being able to pick which ventrical of the heart at that range is way more than good enough for pigs and deer. Good job and thanks for the quick response

    270 load suggestions

    I have been loading for several years now. My buddy from work is getting into the game with a 270. I have to admit I know nothing about this round other than it's an excellent round for hunting. Can you steer me in the right direction of powder choices for a 130 to 140gr bullet. Here we are...

    CVA Optima VA .50 pistol

    I just received one of these beautiful pistols as a gift. I have been loading for metallic cartridges for years but the whole BP thing is new to me. I'm super excited to go out and shoot but have a few questions. I hear BP guns get dirty real fast, is running a nylon or brass brush down the bore...

    260 load question

    I'm in the process of loading up some Nosler 140CC bullets. Hogden shows a range of 39 to 42 with H4350. Yet a 142MK at 41.5 to 44.5. OAL the same. Unfortunatelly Hogden only shows a partition bullet. When I go to Noslers site it just shows a spitzer in that weight and no H4350 powder. Why would...

    LNL AP help

    I just finished assembling my new press and bullet feeder. I'm setting up the dies and station 3 won't take the bushing. All the others they go in just fine with a twist. I'm setting up my powder cop die and no go. I tried taking off the O ring, different bushings and it wont go. It's like the...
