    What do you carry in bear country?

    I'm looking to start hunting, and here in Wyoming, it's bear country, with most elk being in grizzly territory. I'm looking into a 460 s&w mag. Is that too big? Too much? Too hard to handle? Bear spray will obviously be a first countermeasure. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    What's up with federal match primer boxes?

    Why are the boxes for federal gold medal match primers so monstrous AND they have primers on their side? I bet they could get almost 1000 in the same box, making it double sided, and moving them all close together. Seems like a waste of space and plastic to me... Huge plastic box for 100 little...

    Made my first real mistake yesterday...

    So yesterday, I loaded 125 9mm loads, which were all developmental loads, and 175 loads of 6.5 creedmoor, 100 of which were developmental. After I finished, I set my scale to zero(rcbs 5-0-5) something I apparently don't do often enough... And the scale was sitting about 2 grains heavy! With...

    Cutting edge bullets worth it?

    So I have been digging around looking for my next, future elr big bore rifle (338 lapua or 375 cheytac) and stumbled upon these guys. They charge a very, shiny, gold plated pretty penny for their bullets! Their 6.5mm 143 grain target is a buck a pop! With only a g1 BC, that isn't fantastic...

    380 auto and 9mm luger(9x19)

    Uniflow baffle not fitting?

    I bought a used rcbs powder measure, which I can only assume is the uniflow after looking at pictures. So I got a baffle for it, wanting to help even out loads, and I can't get the danged thing to stay "upright" After a while of fanageling I got it in this way But it's very unstable, and...

    Rcbs uniflow powder measure binding

    I recently got a uniflow powder measure, and almost every time I go to drop a charge, it binds, sometimes pretty good, other times I can barely feel it. Is this normal? Is it just "cutting"the powder to fit in the cylinder? Also, is there an attachment that makes dropping into a scale pan...

    Is this normal to find in powder?

    I found these flakes of powder that almost look like they've opened up like popcorn, and look like wood on the inside, but the outside looks normal. I've just only started seeing it You can see two that look like pieces of wood Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    How do you guys deal with humidity in your reloading room?

    So we just moved into a house, and here in Wyoming, swamp coolers are everywhere. My problem... I have 2 choices as to where to put my reloading/gun room. Our lawnmower/storage shed that's about 6x8, outside and not insulated. Yeah, that's not gonna go over well, especially with the gas for...

    My reloading bench!

    So I'm building this reloading bench and figured I'd share my progress! This was built using all free wood(mainly pallets, but 4x4 fence posts for the legs) This is based off plans I found on the web, they look pretty old. I plan on adding some 2x4 across the top of the table, before I put the...

    Progressive automated press for long distance

    Hey there I'm looking at the hornady lock n load auto progressive press. I'm going to almost strictly reload 6.5 creedmore, as that's all I have (right now) other than 22lr. Will the powder drop and measuring be accurate enough? .1 grain variant or whole grain variance? In the sticky it...

    Palming the bolt vs using fingers?

    I was taught that when shooting bolt action you only use an open palm vs fully grabbing the bolt with your fingers. The reason being with just an open palm you use large muscle memory vs fine motor memory. What are your thoughts guys?

    Looking to get into long range target shooting. Caliber decision?

    Hello all! New guy here. I'm looking at getting into long range, 1000M+ shooting, starting small obviously. I plan on starting at about 300 yards. I just need to find a caliber. I was looking at 300 win mag, but a friend of mine said the recoil is worse than his Shiloh sharps 400 grain .45...
