I have found Lil'Gun works well with a low pressure and High Vel. Although I have been looking for a good powder for Lower Velocities. I have lots of powders in storage but I haven't found one exceptional for Low Vel. Accuracy is a must and with the price of powders I don't want to stock pile...

I picked up 2 loaded clips at a garage sail. I measured the cases and they are 30-06. The bullets are cast. The head stamps are not obvious to me. The cases are on what I can only guess are stripper clips. 5 rounds on a thin brass shell holder clip. What do I have? Also what rifle...

What dose it take to take a cheep 22 lr and make it a shooter at 150 yds. I have a rem. model 581 and want to get it to shoot tight groups of maybe 1" at 150 yds. I may be spinning my wheels but maybe not. What do you think.

I loaded up some old Hornet cases for my K Hornet and was surprised to find 43 of 44 cases cracked when I fired them for load development. I can only guess how many times I have loaded them I suspect it has been 10-12 times as hornet and K Hornet. Now the cases have only been neck sized since...

According to what I have read the Ruger 77 Hornet has a twist rate of 14 and ideal bullet weight choices should be 40-45 gr. JBM calculator shows that my best shooting bullet Hornady 35gr. VMax is not the most stable choice. I'm having a hard time excepting electronics in loading. Sure they...

My ejectors have been sticking. I have kept end them lubed but they still intermittently stick. What's the trick to get them working dependably? Do I need to take them apart? Disassembly sounds like a nightmare.

I seen a cartridge that I would like to see in a bolt gun. Its a center fire bottle neck shorter than a Hornet. It would make a nice little varmint rifle. As a center fire it could be tuned for accuracy and it could be fun to shoot. Squirrel hunters... would love it. What do you think?

I was working up some loads for my 22K Hornet with LilGun Powder. As I loaded the last charges Just at the shoulder. I noticed the level of powder varied as much as half of the hight of the neck. After dumping and reweighing the charge the charge there was no change. So I believe I see a...

It's time for me to put the old RCBS collet case trimmer to bed and get a good trimmer. The collet system sucks. Case length is dependent on case head diameter that varies from case to case. I am considering the Sinclair. What do you think.

I have a good accurate Hornady 35gr bullet load for my K Hornet. I am finding it difficult to find more so I decided to try a second best in 40-45gr. Any one out there have a favorite accurate bullet suggestion that shoots the Kilborn.

For the first time I annealed a bunch if 222s and K Hornets. I used a propane torch with a tip that speeded the flame to about half inch. I placed the cases in a deep well socket in a drill motor. The hornet cases heated up quick in about 3 sec. The 222s took about 6-7 sec. I was wondering...

It has come to me that to improve the rounds for my 22K Hornet and 222 Rem. neck tension should be constant. Oh yes there are lots of things to be covered for accuracy but neck tension is one that is some thing I have never covered. So me being picky on not wasting time and money for equipment...

I love my Browning Lever 358 Win. but. Can the BLR trigger be improved? It has more creep than I like. Also to lighten up the pull a bit would be nice.

Back in the 70s I purchased a RCBS case trimmer. I have wrestled with holding cases at a consistent length do to the collet system used at the time. I am not a high output loader so now I want to replace the old trimmer. I am looking for suggestions. Accuracy is my goal at a reasonable price.

I have a bit of a age tremor (shake) to deal with at the bench. This is where my old machine rest comes into play. Yesterday I went to the range and forgot the rest. so I used a couple blankets as rests. My grouping was a real challenge to control. I had lots of fliers out to As much as 2"...

Here I am trying to work up accuracy loads for my 222 again. Then I found primer seating with a curve ball. I put away The old Lee screw Hand priming tool because it was deforming primers. So I have rhe rock-chucker to press those little cups. The CCI BR-4 primers don,t seam to like my WW...

What 17 cal. Rounds are famous for accuracy. Dose any one shoot a real tack driver?

I am wondering if any of these 17 rim fires can shoot 1/4" groups at 100yds. My 22 k hornet and 222 can on a good day. I really prefer a center fire but I don't want the sonic boom... I want to head shoot red squrrels at a good distance. Dose any one have any idea whare I should look?

I have a pre WWII 94. It was reblued before In the 50s and the hammer kneeling was damaged. I suspect this is a not unusual. Also the firing pin spring has been replaced in the 60s do to me dry firing it when I received it. I recall at least 2 to 3 times that it fired when lowering the hammer...

Is it safe to shoot buckshot threw a full choke? If not how large a shot would be ok?
