Good friend and I did some shooting today. We had all sorts of guns, but had the most fun with my 4.2" SP101 .357mag and his 4" GP100 .357 mag. We were both shooting our own reloads. Started out at normal distances of 10-15yds. Got bored with the easy shooting so we decided to back it up a bit...

Wife and I are having a house built with planned completion around end of May. Once the house is done, pretty much any discretionary funds will be gone. I've been wanting a 6.5 Creedmoor for a couple years now, and figure now would be a good time to look into getting one. I really like the...

So I was cruising the inter web last weekend and Grafs had some .308 175gr HPBT bullets that were "factory seconds from a major manufacturer". I looked and confirmed they are Sierra Matchkings. The price was good at $27.99/100 so I bought 200. I received the bullets today, and other than the...

I've heard a lot of different opinions on different chamberings of brass to resize to make 6.5 Creedmoor brass, but which is closest and will require the least amount of sizing? Is 260rem the same dimensions just a different shoulder angle?

Can't seem to find a good holster for a 4.2" SP101. Not looking for a concealed carry holster. Looking for one to carry my SP101 when out on the hunting property. Don't want a shoulder or chest rig. Something on the hip or a drop holster that won't break the bank. Leather, Nylon, or Kydex. Good...

Just wondering if any of you use plated bullets in .357 magnum? Berry's states max velocity for their bullets is 1,200fps. What are the issues if you push them to 1,400fps? Would I be better off to keep searching for a jacketed bullet for .357 and just use the plated bullets in .38spl?

Was looking for a bullet I can load in both .38spl and .357mag. Was looking at the Berry's plated flat points but they are only good to 1,200fps so that rules them out for .357. I dont really want to run non plated/jacketed bullets in either. Am I stuck with buying jacketed bullets for .357...

I posted something in the reloading section as well, but wanted to post here as well as the last post with this rifle I was thouroughly bummed about the scope I previously had on the rifle and the sub par accuracy I was getting with my hand loads. Got the new Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 and made...

Been working on load development. I'll admit, i'm still pretty green when it comes to reloading, but you guys have helped a lot with questions I have asked and even some that I haven't. Thank You for all of your help and patience!!! Through your guidance and some trial and error, I think i've...

For those of you that load for this round, I have a few questions. I don't personally load for it, but my good friend is starting to and having some issues. Loading with 150gr SP's, using IMR 4227 as that's all he can find at the moment. Hodgdon/IMR does not list load data for 150gr, but the...

Searched, but didn't find much. I'm in need of a Chronograph and there seem to be a lot of different brands and models to choose from. What chronograph are you using or would reccomend. More importantly, which ones would you stay away from? I've been looking at the Shooting Chrony Beta or...

Latest Hornady book shows max charge of Varget with 155 grain bullets is 44.9gr. Hodgdon website lists 47.0grs. max. Which set of data do you go with, The powder mfg or a long time cartridge mfg? I shot some test loads, 5 of each, at 42, 43, and 44 grains of powder and they all shot 3-5 inches...

Short(er) barreled .308 bolt action Been wanting a short heavy barrel rifle for a while. Came across a distributor special from Savage that is not listed on their website. The price was right so I jumped on it. This is a model 10-PSR chambered in .308. It has 18" heavy threaded barrel, HUGE...

Since powder is hard to find, I would like to take some of the factory loaded ammo that I have and replace the bullets with one of my choosing. For example, I have a few boxes of Fiocchi .308 150gr soft point ammo. I would like to replace the bullets with something better like 150gr SST's or...

I just ordered a Savage 10-PSR. It's not listed on their website, it's a distributor special. It's a 18" heavy barrel with 5/8-24 threaded muzzle. 1in10 twist with 5R rifling chambered in .308. Should make for a good woods gun... Any of you have a similar rifle and developed a load that works...

Not the greatest, but for $40 in materials, it will work for the space I have... Not quite done arranging everything and still have a few more things to buy for it to be complete. Dimensions: Bench Top: 36" X 24". Bench is 36" from floor. Top shelf is 24" above bench and is 12" deep. I'm...

I know this has probably been asked 1000 times over.... Cleaning up some .308 brass in preparation for when I can find powder and primers... There is a powdery film on and inside all the cases. I'm using Lyman Tuf Nut media. Do you clean this off? What about the residue inside the cases? What...

Just getting into reloading, well preparing, researching, and gathering equipment/materials. So far I have acquired: RCBS press Priming tool Powder measure All the different shell holders One set of dies for .308 Case trimmer for .308 Case lube Digital caliper Hornady book of reloading Things I...

Stopped by Cabelas yesterday... Went to look at reloading equipment as I planned my next purchse to be a caliber that doesn't have much factory ammo available and figured now was as good a time as any to start reloading. As always happens, I can't go in there without making at least 1 trip down...

Looking at getting another target rifle and I see that Savage chambers most of their target rifles in these calibers in addition to .308. I have a model 10FCP in .308 so I'm looking for another caliber and don't know much about these 4. What are the differences/similarities? Advantages of one...
