I'm being reassigned to FT Bliss in September and want to work up a load for my 22-250 for coyote. I've been using W-748 with great results and would like to try H-380. The only problem is that most of my manuals discourage the use of ball powder in these kind of tempertures (115 in summer)...

I'm looking for a 150-154 grain .284 diameter bullet that will reliably expand at 300 yards, but won't come apart at minus 150 yards.Muzzle velocity is about 3,000 f/ps. I'm using Nosler Partitions right now, but I'd like to use something a little cheaper. Also, would bumping up to the 160-162...

I got my 280 AI barrel for my Encore today. 26" heavy contour factory barrel that the T/C custom shop sells through Midway. I have basicly 3 questions: 1) What would be the best powder? IMR 4350 or AA 3100? 2) Can you use 270 Winchester brass to form cases? 3) I've heard that the cases can be...

I picked up 2 boxes of remington 209-4 by accident and loaded 50 1 oz 12 guage shells with them. The 209-4 is formulated for the .410 bore. I used Federal 12S0 wads and 20.5 grains of green dot in a Remington Uni-body hull. Any one have any idea if they'll work or not?

When the building next to my appartment caught fire my cieling (not roof) collapsed and some cieling tiles and plaster fell on my 505. It appears okay, but I cant get it to zero. Should I add more shot to the pan support or just replace it? What would you do?

Is there anything to hunt there besides rabbits and coyotes? I might be getting stationed at FT Bliss soon.

I'm looking at getting a trap gun when i leave Iraq this spring. Right now I'm planning on getting a Browning BT-99. Is there anything else in the same price range that I may be over looking?

I just started shot shell reloading for 12 guage. I loaded up some Remington Uni-bodies (not STS premier) 2 3/4" hulls with 19.6 gr of Green Dot. I was playing with the press today, and I found out the more powder I put in the bottle, the heavier the charge it throws. When I started loading...

Is $200 too much to pay for a Khan centurian semi auto? Are these things any good?

I found one of these for $149. Does anyone no anything about it?

I'm looking for a good hunting cartridge for my Marlin 60. What brands have you had the best luck with in the model 60?

How much case stretch is normal for this cartridge? I neck sized for the the 1st 5 or 6 firings before running in to problems. I full lengthed them this time and when I got them out of the tumbler about 50% of them showed slight resistance going into the Wilsom guage and one wouldn't go in at...

I have some of these in 125 & 150gr. Has anyone ever used these on game? If so, what was the results? 150 gr will be loaded to about 2,800 f/ps and the 125gr will be loaded to about 3,000 f/ps in a 22'' barreled 308 win.

Any one have any idea how I might load a 22 Hornet for squirrel? What I'm looking for is a 224 that will partially expand, but not explode like a V-max or Blitz King would. Right now I'm looking at a Speer 50gr SP (not TNT) loaded to about 2,300 f/ps.

I want to load some 150gr spitzers for a Savage 340C. I have Sierra game Kings and Nosler Ballistic tips on hand. My question is will one or both of these expand reliably at 30-30 velocities? We're talking 2200-2300 f/ps with a near max load. Thanks in advance.

I'm picking up a Ruger 77/22 Hornet on monday. What is a good bullet/powder combo with this cartridge? I have some of the old 40gr Barnes barrel burners, Sierra 45gr varminters, and AA 1680 on hand.

What is the best accuracy I can reasonable reasonably expect from a Ruger 77 MK 2 standard in 308 win? So far I've gotten some 1 1/4" groups with Speer 150 gr Hot-Cors and RL-15.

In my Lyamn's manual it shows Winchester as the hottest, CCI 200 and Federal 210/210M in the middle, and Remington 9 1/2 as the mildest. They based those finding on308 win. test load where they only changed primers. Does your experiances agree with Lyman's findings?

I have a Ruger 77 MK. II std in 308. I free floated the barrel and glass bedded the action. I managed to get 1 1/4" groups with 150 gr Speer Hot cors. I'm working with Hornady 150gr BTSPs now. I've tried 44.5 grs of varget and Fed 210GM primers (from Hdy 6th ed.) and got 1 1/2" groups. I'm...

I just got this thing from Midway's today and I'm having trouble with it. I'm having a real hard time reading the 1/10" mark. I already have an RCBS 505. But for $18, I thought I'd check it out. Is there some trick to reading this thing?
