Another rookie question here: I just FL resized this 270 Win brass for the first time. It is once fired. I'm getting these lines on some of them, but not all. Cases shouldn't be separating this quickly, right? Is it possible that they're not actually separating, but that this ring is being...

I'm a relatively new reloader, and am attempting to form 260 Remington brass out of spent 308 cases (of which I have many). I resized them this evening and it went well, using a simple 260 FL sizing die. However, I have one major concern. The neck opening measures only .2595" on (average) after...

Hey, does anyone know of a permanent way to dye/mark brass that has been reformed into a new chambering (in order to differentiate itself from the parent cartridge)? For example, I will soon be making 358 Win and 260 Rem cases from my massive hoards of 308 brass. I want to keep the cases...

Hey, looking for some feedback on which 6.5 cartridge would do best from a 20" barrel. Specifically, the 6.5 Creedmoor or the 6.5x55 Swede. I know the Swede has a higher max velocity potential (due to larger case), but for a lightweight gun with a 20" barrel would there really be any...

Quick question that nobody (including the Winchester tech I talked to) seems to have an answer for. Can I replace my standard Winchester Model 70 stock (270 Win) with a stock taken off of a Winchester Model 70 Express Safari rifle (416 Rem)? Anybody have a clear answer on this? Thanks.

Hey, I've got a (hopefully) simple problem. I got new Marlin 1894 recently. I "broke in" the rifle shooting few boxes of 44 Specials, with no problems. Then I switched over to a box of 44 Mags and with the first shot, the case got stuck in the chamber and wouldn't eject. And it was really stuck...

Ok, so I need some input. I'm looking to fill the gap between 223 and 308 and have decided I want to with one of the 6.5's. It's a big enough step up from 223 to be significant, and it's a big enough step down from 308. Sweet spot. With that said, how the heck am I supposed to choose...

Hey all, I'm considering developing a "short range" deer load using 150/170 grain flat/round nose bullets in a 308 bolt action rifle. Looking at using the Sierra Pro Hunter round or flat nose, specifically. Basically, I never shoot more than 150 yards and, at that distance, flat/round nose...

Need some input here. I was in the market for a new short-range (100 yards and less) deer rifle. After doing a bunch of reading and thinking, I bought a CZ 527 chambered in 7.62x39. It's a great little gun and shoots very well with 125 grain Hornady SST ammo. With that said, now that hunting...

Looking for some real world experience and advice here. I'm considering a Kimber 84 Hunter for the upcoming deer season. It can be fairly wet here and the Kimber seems like a logical choice for rainy/snowing days. I had originally planned on getting it chambered in 308, a caliber that I...

I was laying in bed last night thinking about the various gun manufacturers that we all know and love... and had an interesting thought that I'd like to present: Ruger is probably the most well-rounded firearms company in the world. Why do I say that? They have a "well-respected" and...

Looking for some input on my next rifle purchase. The Need: - Lightweight rifle for deer hunting on my property. It's a wooded area with a few fields, but all shots would be significantly less than 100 yards. Should I Buy: - A lever action 30-30? It's a classic. - A lever action 44 mag...

Good morning. I'm new to TFL, this is my first post. After stalking the forums for years, I'm in. Thanks to all you guys and gals for the heaps of knowledge I've gleaned thus far. My question is this. I'm looking for a handgun that I can shoot in 40sw and 357sig. I'm a fairly experienced...
