Can you take a couple of bushings and measure the thickness and outside diameter of them and either pm those measurements to me or reply here to this thread, thanks in advance.

I posted this on a couple other forums but frequent here a lot so thought I would share here as well. I got this idea from another site. Well I finally got my bullet trap mounted and collection tank setup. it has a 24"x24" opening and is made from 1/2" steel plate. this design worked out...

If you were rebarrling your rifle and could choose from one of the calibers listed in the poll, which one would you choose and why? Also assume you were setup to reload any of the calibers listed and you have other rifles as well. This would be an addition not a do everything rifle. I...

Anyone care to guess what happened to these, .308 Federal Case. They were picked up at the range and feel as if they were fire formed to a chamber with rifling's cut in. They were also very sooty all over as you can see in the rim and neck area. They were nearly completely black from soot...

Here is the story of me (36 now) and my dad’s first hunt. When I was young I could care less about hunting. Now that I hunt he was unable due to should/arm injuries. This year we set him up with a thumbhole stocked rifle and were able to hunt together. 11/5/2008 8:00pm me and Dad pull out...

Okay I want accuracy plus speed. I know faster does not always equate to better accuracy but I want a blend of both. Here is my game plan on developing some future hand loads. My goal is to achieve the best accuracy/speed combo without wasting a lot of components and since I have started...

Back when my dad was an avid hunter I was uninterested. Chasing skirts and being a typical teenager. Lately in life I have picked up hunting but dad had quit years ago due to injuries that prevented him shouldering a rifle properly. Well this year he was bound and determined to hunt. We...

I know this has probably been replayed a thousand times but I feel we can never be reminded enough about safety. I hope this area was okay to put this. This weekend at the range I found a ruptured case on the ground. My immediate thoughts were hot load, but the neck area was begging for me...

Okay new reloader still learning as much as possible. I have been working on my 243 loads and am getting MOA groups at 100 yards pretty consistently now. Preparing it for hunting I fine tuned the scope adjustments and then popped off a few groups at 200 yards. Surprisingly my groups were only...

Could be a fluke because I do not believe I am this good but it’s on paper and witnesses at the range were salivating all over this during cease fire target recovery time. It is my personal best. Just thought I would share

Okay not a huge selection at my local supplier so I picked up a box of these to develop some loads for my Remington 700 ADL .223. Initial load development was at 100 yards and yielded a .6” group at 24.5grs of powder. So I set up for group 2 and worked in 1 grain increments forward and back...

Each case was visually inspected and then tumbled. After tumbling I felt the inside of each case down around the head for any signs of a ridge. I then inspected the case necks for any signs of cracks or defects; I then inspected the bodies, heads, and primer pockets. They are now ready for...

Let me preface by saying I “Toss it” and it is against my logic to “Use it” but sometimes my logic is wrong so I am poking your minds! Scenario: Loading up some big cartridge requiring 70grs of powder “A.” You are low and throw your last little bit and it only measures 45grs. You now open a...

I sent them my firing pin and bolt sleeve locking pin. Is this all I was suppose to send them or was I only suppose to send the firing pin?

Here’s the setup” Brand New Ruger M77 Hawkeye 30-06 All Weather Bullet: 165gr Hornady SST Powder: IMR4350 Primer: CCI BR2 Brass: Federal Prep the brass using the following method: Tumbled Full Length Resized Trimmed, cleaned primer pockets, champhered (sp?) and re-tumbled Wiped down...

I will be shooting at 100yrds. I have looked at square, round, diamond and just about any combination of these and do not know which way to go and how to affectively use them to help ensure consistent point of aim. Any suggestions on what type of target and how to properly use it, I know...

This week I hustled each evening doing enough honey dues so I could spend a little time in the Mans Den working up a few reloads. It was not until yesterday I remembered a family reunion today, therefore no range trip this weekend. I did however workup the following .223 30 round (fine...

I would like to get as much info on this ammo as I can. I purchased it several years ago. The brass is berdan primed and shoots about 2400fps from our G.24(t). In particular I would like to know the following 1. Ballistic Coefficient of this round 2. Although I measured this pulled bullet...

For those who use the ladder methods tell me you thoughts on this attempt Setup: I loaded 10 cartridges increasing powder by .3 grains for each round. Setup a 300yd target and shot the round in order and numbered them as I went. I also chrono’d each shot. I was shooting from a solid bench...

Okay I have it and the included instructions could use a little help. I have everything installed but am confused on how far to press the case down on the swager button. Do I press until it hits the larger area of the button past the radius or press until the button bottoms out in the bottom...
