Bought a 6.5 Grendel from a friend of mine. Palmetto upper, 15" m lock handguard, 18" barrel with a rifle length gas system. Has a pretty nice trigger in it, although I don't know what trigger it is. The lower was built by my friend. Anyway, what I am looking for is advice from guys who have...

So I tried to use Power Pro Varmint in my Lee Drum dispenser. With no success! The granules are way too fine and leak around the drum to the point that I can not throw a charge. Please recommend me a powder measure that can handle such a fine powder.

So I finally found a bullet/Powder combo that shows promise in my Ruger American Ranch rifle. 69 grain Sierra Tipped Match King, with a pretty stout charge of Varget. Warning! The following load data is listed as a maximum load in the Lyman 50th manual using different brass, primer and bullet...

Anyone have any luck with this powder and bullet in 224 or 5.56 Nato? Load data I have found is all over the place.

Well today I realized there was a problem with my seating die for my 6.5 creedmoor. I have used the same die all throughout load development for multiple rifles. A couple weeks ago I sat down and loaded about 400 rounds. Now I find that not all of them even fit in the chamber. No it is not the...

I recently bought some defense ammo made by Sig Sauer for my 9mm Luger. This ammunition shoots very well and the bullets are freaking great! Anyway, my question is this. Who makes that bullet? And can I buy them as a component for reloading? A friend told me they are made by Sierra, but I have...

So I have recently purchased and upgraded a Ruger American Ranch Rifle in 5.56x45. I have been using Varget with 65 grain Sierra Game Kings, and some Barnes 69 grain Match burners. Accuracy is acceptable, but My velocity spreads are pretty gross. Throughout the entire load ranges with the...

warning, the load data I will share here is above maximum in some manuals while below maximum in some other manuals. In my rifle this load is on the hot side, but not what I would consider to be dangerous. Use any data found here at your own risk! I have settled on a load for my Savage 110...

I am shooting so much and stock piling ammunition lately that Brass prep is taking me way too much time. I would like to hear recommendations on case prep centers. Something I can use to precisely trim, debur, chamfer and clean primer pockets on. Currently Brass prep consumes about 80% of my...

So I got denied on a background check today. First time ever. Even just renewed my LTC a month ago. The only time I have ever even been arrested was when I was in the Army. I had a miscommunication with my First Sergeant and I ended up not being somewhere I was supposed to be. I was arrested...

Hello all, I am planning to buy an AR rifle this week from the LGS. They have many models, but the one that Caught my eye was the Savage MSR 15 Recon LRP. In .224 Valkyrie. The rifle is $1100, but had a mid length gas system, muzzle brake, two stage trigger and pretty nice furniture. Question...

I am Bored as hell lately, not working and running out of things to play with. I am pretty sure I want to buy another rifle. If I buy a bolt gun, it has to have a vertical grip and adjustable comb as well as threaded. If I buy a semi auto, it's most likely gonna be a Savage MSR Recon in...

So I have been thinking a lot about this lately while trying to squeeze the most out of my rifles and ammunition while also trying to hone my own skills and constantly work on fundamentals. I have noticed a few things. Now I don't have the tools, or mathematical skills to measure any of this in...

So for many years I have had a RCBS Rock Chucker that was passed to me from a friend when I first started to load my own ammunition. It is one of the older ones. Only say "RC" on the side and has the older bicycle handle bar looking handle. Also it did not have a Bushing where the die threads...

Just ordered the following brake for my Savage 110 Tactical in 6.5 Creedmoor. Ultradyne Pegasus Tanker Compensator Muzzle Brake After ordering I see that the specs say that minimum barrel threading is .600". I measured the threaded end of the barrel on my rifle and the actual threads are...

So I have been looking at this cartridge for a minute now. I would really like a bolt gun chambered for this. Question is who makes one? Savage did, but no longer list it. If I can't find one from the factory, what other cartridges share the .420" bolt face? Maybe I can buy a donor rifle for the...

Ran out of RL 16 and found some H-4350. Since they are touted as being very similar and RL 16 seems to be a good replacement for H-4350, I decided to do a not so scientific comparison between the two in 6.5 creedmoor. First I will start with the load I settled on for now using the same bullet...

Does anyone here know if anyone is currently manufacturing bottom metal to convert a Browning X-Bolt to AI pattern Mags? I just ordered a Browning X-Bolt Max Long Range in 6.5 PRC. My choice was between the Ruger RPR and the Browning. The Ruger had the Mag system I wanted, but I chose the...

I finally got my hands on some H-4350. Although it seems I may have gotten ahead of myself, because I have all of my cases already prepped and primed with CCI 250 primers instead of the CCI 200, because I was using that Reloder 25. Any of you use Magnum primers in your creedmoors? I know it's...

Found a near mint Winchester 94 AE in 44 Mag at a local store yesterday. They were asking $700. I am not sure of that is a fair price, but I have been searching for a New Haven construction Winchester lever gun for awhile. Any Intel or things to look out for with these rifles? Is $700 a fair...
