Range report All went well. I went to the range yesterday with two objectives in mind. One was to break in the new barrel on my .308, F/TR rifle. The other was to try out my Python. Mission accomplished. I used My Speer #13 manual for the .357 mag. load data because they...

Thanks for the reassurance. The last time I loaded any ammo for 357 mag. in my Dillon, it turned out great. We were using 13.9 gr. of 2400 with 158 gr. JHP's. My buddy was very pleased with how they shot out of his Trooper. Again, my problem is all in my head. I'm so used to loading a...

Greetings all, I am the proud new owner of a nice looking, apparently lightly used, Colt revolver in .357 Mag. I appears to be in fine shape both cosmetically and mechanically. Its a Python with a 4" barrel. I'm really jones'n to get to the range and give it a go. I want to start out...

Thanks for all the replies, but I'm not encouraged. I did find new replacement barrels from CMP. The price was pretty reasonable at about $200. I'm not sure if I really want to stay with 30-06. For some reason I'd like to try something smaller. .270 doesn't appeal to me, maybe 25-06. Any...

Greeting all, I've got a Model 1917 Enfield that has been sporterized (butchered) and I want some advice as to wether its worth fixing up. As it sits now, it would probably make a decent fence post. The stock its in looks like it was carved with an axe. The barrel looks to be shot...

My Mini's accuracy solution was pretty simple. With factory ammo, Remington and Winchester, my 100 yard groups were around 6". The Remington 55gr. HP was the worst. My hand loaded plinking ammo easily shoots 2". This is not tailored ammo either. I just pump it out on a Dillon press...

I shoot a 165gr. TC with Win. 231. Its seem to do fine. I do load it down quite a bit, a nice soft shooter. B

You might try checking Surefire. B

Maybe you can work something like this in. http://www.kentonindustries.com B

I too recently purchased an M1A Scout. While the iron sights are great, for my eyes they are not the best option. I have and Aimpoint CompM4, a Micro T-1, and a Trijicon MA-03 red dot. All will mount to the scout rail. I'm so disappointed with the Trijicon that, I'll probably...

My fifteen year old and I went out to the range a couple of weeks ago. This was his first time shooting the brand new Savage .308. Thats a 5 shot group of 168gr Sierra Matchkings in front of RL-15. For the money, Savage is hard to beat. Oh, and its the only bolt action rifle I've...

I started reloading with a Dillon 550. I wanted to be able to load a few .45's for my then new pistol. It's the only press I've ever used so I don't know any better. I now load for my .40 S&W and .223 in progressive mode with Dillon dies. I use it as a sort of single stage with Redding...

I took my brand new Savage F/TR to the ranges today. Several "firsts" for me, first .308, first bolt action, first .308 hand loads, and the first time I've ever shot that small of a group with a rifle. :D I think I'm going to try this again tomorrow. Maybe I can tighten it up just a...

More goody pics I'll tell ya, these Redding dies are something. I'm going to try to load some in the morning. I've been playing with them a little bit. Maybe I could sleep with them under my pillow - just tonight. ;) Can you tell I'm anxious to get going...

Pictures! What was I thinking!?!?!? Pardon the cell phone camera pictures. I'm kind of backing into this deal. I started to buy .308 reloading components this last fall, enough Varget and large rifle primers to last me for a while... I think. At that time I wasn't sure even what rifle I...

My Model 12 F/TR in .308 came in earlier than expected. :D Fit and finish is OK. It's no show piece, but it does look like a serious shooter. Overall it seems like its very well built. However, the proof is in the pudding, or on the target in this case. Today I measured max. OAL...

Congratulations, You've now stepped out onto the slippery slope. I've only been reloading for a relatively few years and now I don't consider a trip to the range worthwhile unless I have 250 rounds of .45 ACP with me to burn - and thats just for the 45! Good luck and you may as well order...

I just put mine on order yesterday. I should have it in a week. Now for the scope and other goodies, yikes! B

I've been doing some scope shopping. It makes my head hurt. I think I understand how the focal plane thing works, but is it worth it. The price jump is significant. I'd like to get a scope in the 6.5 x 20 (Leupold mk4) range, maybe even 8.5 x 25. I can't see near as good as I used to - or...

I originally posted this question in "Rifle Country" and had no response. This may be the better pace to ask the question. I don't mind loading for the Palma, but want to know if I can use factory ammo in a pinch. Ammo for 95 Palma I,m just about to pop for a Savage Palma or F/TR...
