How often do you change the media in your vibratory cleaner? My first can lasted about 2 months. I bought a new can a month ago and it's not cleaning soot off or cleaning very good.

My Lee trimmer has been trimming my 260 brass at 2.020. Saami calls for 2.035 to 2.025. I trimmed a bunch today and they trimmed at 2.010 to 2.015. On average I'm 0.015 off from Saami specs. Should I toss this brass and get a new trimmer. This one is only a month old. Not sure what happened.

Picked up a Remington 700 sps camouflage 22 inch barrel today. I think this is a 9.25 twist. Am hoping to shoot 150 nbt and 160 Speers through it as soon as I get some dies. Would anyone know if that twist rate is correct and if the size bullets I'm wanting to load will work. It appears to be...

This powder keeps popping up in magazines and people at my range. It shows it helping keep barrel cleaner and supposedly does well in 308 based cartridges. I bought a lb today to experiment with. Anyone use this in 260 or 308? Wanting to try it out in my 260 with some Sierra Match Kings...

Anyone else own one. How does yours shoot

Doesn't seem to bad for less than a $100.00. For some reason iPhone 6 won't read it but IPad 2 does. Give it a test with a 22 revolver. Velocity on box must be for a rifle or its way off. Finally I can maybe get some levels of speed to track my pressures in my rifles. This thing gets 50/50 on...

Went to Cabellas today and picked up some bullets for my 308. Noticed the 127 grain Barnes x Long Range bullet and decided to buy a box. My Barnes data only has 120 and 130 grain listed. I'm going to start with 39 grains of H 4350. Seating depth for 120 or 130 Barnes calls for 2.705. My Hornady...

Ammo is still fairly cheap for this lever gun but wondering how much harder to load than 308 and 260 or 7 mag. I would most likely use Lee dies for separate crimp. Checking Midway the bullets are pretty pricey. I know I could buy some Wally World core locs and have some brass. Already have...

Have never been able to get Varget to do well for me in my other 308s. Yesterday I loaded up 20 178 Amax with 41 grains of Varget. It done great out of the new Savage. I had enough to load 10 more and can't find any now. Of course. Is it powder , bullet weight, length as I'm going to have to use...

I'm buying whatever primers I can find as the stores don't carry a great deal here. I started out using Winchester large rifle primers. All I could find. Then it was cci 200. Also all I could find. For past 2 months I've mixed Winchester and cci br2 primers in Remington and Hornady brass. I...

Saw a pretty neat Savage this evening chambered in 308. It's a Savage and if I don't like it can always modify to something else. Had a 308 in 11 twist and 12 twist. Not to sure about the 10. If I'm not mistaken thT for the 168s and up. I want it pretty much to have as a truck gun. $410.00 seems...

Been shooting 140 grain smks through 8 twist Tikka CTR. Great groups but wanted to try some 129 Hornady SST. Picked up a hundred today. Not sure if the 8 twist is good for these but going to try. Anyone use 8 twist and some H4350 loads with these. I have other powders but chose this one because...

Using Lee, Hornady and RCBS dies. Some trim lengths are off by .001. Measuring bullets and they vary about the same. So by my calculations I should be + or minus .002 either way on seating depth. Some dead on and some as much as .007 off either way. So I've backed seating stem 2 full turns...

I'm using Lee press at home. I'm considering buying a hand press and taking bullet seater and calipers to the range with charged and primed brass. Want to try some different coal at the range. Anyone got ideas of how to keep powder safely and without leaking to the range. I've got load boxes for...

All my Lee dies I've been able to use Hornady headspace guage and adjust dies to bump neck back .002. I got my Hornady dies today and tried to use guage and I have moved dies backward and forward and I'm getting .002 more than factory fired brass. Once fired factory brass. Turning 1/16 to 1/4...

Been looking for 3 months for 260 barrel to go on a Savage Axis. Hated the bolt and action on it. Found this little 260 today and can't wait to see what she does.

Been thinking of buying a Remington sps in 308 win for bench work only. Store had put a hold on last 26 inch bull barrel for another person. Only 2 left are 2 Remington's in 20 inch. One is 12 twist and the other is a 10 twist. For 600-800 yards would these shorter barrels work? Know I'll lose...

If trim lengths vary by 2-3 thousands will bullet oal do the same? I wouldn't think it should since bullet is in shell holder and tip of bullet is at top but I could be wrong. I'm getting variances using Lee and RCBS seating dies. Did notice that bullets vary some in lengths. All except Hornady...

Got a good deal on 200 of these. Using in Rem 700. Anybody got a good load for these. Wanting to use on black bear. Maybe 75-100 yards. Been using Reloader 20 but starting low and moving up a little at a time my groups suck. Haven't shot anything in but Nosler boat tails. Do I need to get closer...

I just ordered some 80 grain Barnes Tsx in 243 calling on Barnes for h4350 Also ordered Barnes 180 TSX in 308 win. Calling for h4895. Need substitute loads with comparable powder. I have Varget, Benchmark, IMR 4064 3031 and 4831. Any of the powders I have come close to the burn rates Barnes...
