Are SN's stamped anywhere else besides the butt on these models?

What's the initial word on this new line of bullets. They have this 44 cal 310g WNFP-GC with a hardness of 24! I wonder if that means it's brittle?.... From the website: "..The term “terminal ballistics” takes on new meaning with the True Shot line of heavyweight Wide Nose magnum handgun...

I need to get a feeling for how effective my current loads are and how they compare to others that handload for the S&W 4" Mountain Gun. I want the gun for defense against bear (possibly brown) when in the backcountry. I've worked up to 20.5gr H110 with a Hornandy 265 JSP. The load chronos at...

I can't find a puller for my 300WSM! The Midway won't work. The RCBS won't work with the one collet it comes with. What's a guy to do?

I've got a question about using Magnum primers in load data which calls for a Standard primer. The new G&A has a article about reloading the 300WSM. The author uses Magnum primers, saying "..I always use Magnum primers in a magnum load.." What's the rule of thumb when it comes to this...

While test firing Cor-Bon's 305gr "Penetrators" in my new S&W 629-4 Mountain Gun I had a few problems. 1) The clyinder would NOT rotate after the fourth shot! Upon examination, copper-jacket material was lodged in the "gap" area and effectively seized the cylinder from turning. 2) Cases very...

Hey, I'm looking for a good leather sling to adorne my new A-Bolt .300WSM. I've searched the web with no real good targets, except Brownells. Any input on this sling? http://www.brownells.com/Product/productDetail.asp?ProductID=084004000&CategoryID=0 I'd actually like one a a darker color...

I searched the posts for anything on 300WSM and found some good info, but nothing of recent. Are dies available? Will this "rebated rim" cause problems? Anyone own one of the Brownings or Winchesters chambered for it yet, do you like..........?

I want to be able to reload my rifle cartridges. I have a Dillion 550B. Why am I hearing that "non-belted" are preferable to "belted"? To be more specific, I'm interested in the 300 WM, but hear good things of the 300 WSM. Is the WSM easier to reload and why? Thanks

New Rifle, should it be 7mmRM or .300WM? I'm gonna get a hunting rifle. I'm leaning towards a Remington 700 BDL-DM, but I'm on the fence as to what caliber to get it in. Most will say that the 300WM is too much gun for deer, but I've got a 550B, can I not download the cartridge to an...

I've moved to NE Washington near the Idaho border. I hear there are Grizzlys as well as Moose roaming these mountains. I figure very soon I'll get the scoop on some great flyfishing streams and I'm sure this will put me in the domain of these deadly mamals. My protection: I found a New-in-box...

What are the advantages of each when used for competition? It seems that velocity loss would be greater with the Hybrid barrel, does it control recoil and muzzle flip like the comp'd?

It's that time of month again. Good luck to those who are on the cusp of a new class, and to those who are expecting their first formal classification, like me :) (I'm tired of having "no-class")

I found a good deal on the outer/inner belts, it's not the basketweave pattern. Which side of this belt is supposed to face out? :) The belt is shipped coiled in the wrong direction (fuzzy side out), so when I try to wrap it around my waist (with the smooth nylon side out,fuzzy side in), the...

I wanna down load 10mm to the USPSA production class power factor of 125. I'm aiming for a 135gr @ 1000fps. The current powder I'm using (Titegroup) would only need about 4.0gr to get to that velocity (I'm guessing). I hear that when you have such little powder to air ratio, shot-to-shot...

I've got the Handgun (Glock10mm), Shotgun (Mossy590-A1)and Rifle (Bushy Shorty.223). I have a few handgun matches under my belt, but I've never shot the AR or 12gauge in competition. 1) What size shot is best? 2) What's the best mode of extra shotshell carry for rapid reloads? (The 590 holds...

Man! I joined March 2, I have 12 classifiers under my belt and I still don't have an idea of how I'm doing! I thought the stats were supposed to be updated the 15th. What's a more realistic time line for updates?

Is this a worry? I've been loading reduced velocity 10MM loads with fast powder (Titegroup) for lower power factors to better compete in USPSA's Production Class competitions. It seems the worry of reduced powder charges is that more surface area of the powder is exposed to the primers...

.....or is their super quick accuracy a product of the integration between their handgun and natural pointing instinct. I don't see how a mortal human being can honestly shoot as fast and accurate as a Master or Grand Master if he or she was actually seeing the sights every shot. I'm new to...

Seeing how the power factor is 125 I am thinking about using my G20-10mm with 135gr@ 1000fps for a nice light recoiling load to compete with the 9mm crowd. Is anybody using downloaded 10mm in production class, and if so, what are the loads & recoil spring combinations their using?
