Hi, Just a quick question on whether RE25 + Sierra200gn + CCI250 would be a reasonable 300WinMag Load? These were the only things I could get without waiting where I am in Australia. Cheers

Hi, When installing new scope mounts Which grade of loctite should I use. I am thinking of the screw locker ie purple. I use blue all the time an a car though. Cheers

Hi, I have just got a new 300 Win Mag. I am planning on reloading with 180grn. When sighting it in, what distance should I use as the zero point? Cheers

Hi, I am playing with an elderly Weaver V7-1. When I turn both the height and windage adjustments it is just like backing up and down a normal screw. It does not have the locking detents and click sound like every other scope I have does. Is this correct for this model or is it broken? Cheers

Hi, I have a 1949 Winchester Model 70. I want to put a scope on it, but try to keep it period correct. Does anyone remember what brand / model scopes were popular in the late 40's early 50's ? Cheers

Hi, After 12 years I dragged my hornady tumbler out of retirement last week. Got me some new "no name" treated walnut shell and was ready to go. Started with 50 x .17 Rem cases after 2 hours of tumbling I had a heap of cases with compacted shell that had to be dug out by hand. Flash holes were...

Hi, I am playing with a newly got .222 Rem. I am investigating a hunting and paper target loads using berger 52grn varmint bullets and H4895 powder. For hunting, the loaded round needs to fit the magazine so the oal needs to be 2.130" or 1.740" measured with comparator. To sit the same bullet...

Hi, I have been reloading for a few years now, I have been using my fathers O frame press bought in the early 70's. It has not reloaded more than 750 rounds in its entire life. Last month I started using a Hornady comparator on my mityoyo caliper to measure loading length and realized I was...

Hi, I just fire formed a box of .22 Hornets into the K-Hornet in a re-barrelled bsa martini for the 1st time ever. I have noticed that the cases width expanded only on one side. It is quite prominent just forward of the cases head. With my limited knowledge, I am guessing the case is not...

Hi, I am trying to reload with the Hornady 150grn sp bullet which i have not used before. Using Winchester brass, I have re-sized each case with the RCBS dies, chamfered inside and out but each time I try to seat the bullet it catches on the neck and then deforms the neck. Would someone...

Hi, I tried my new Redfield Revenge 6-18x44 on my .243 today. I have had a big problem getting the vertical adjustment any where near the target. I use a homemade target printed on a letter sized card. At the end of trying, I had the scope adjustment wound all the way up, aiming the fat part...

Hi, I am starting to use some new Norma brass for my 220 Swift. I have found a percentage of them that have rims over sized and they don't fit in my shell holder. On average the rims measure: Good ones .467" Bad ones .4715" So do I need to toss the "bad" ones or is my Lee...

Hi, I am about to get my hands on a .22 Ackley Improved Hornet. I have been looking for die sets or reloading info without any luck. I am currently looking for answers for the following questions. 1. Does this round head space on the case shoulder or is it the rim of the case? 2. What is the...

Hi, In the late 60's my dad turned a M17 into a .243 which turned into a damn fine rifle. It was fitted back then with a scope mount and a 7x36mm Kahles. As his age is gaining on him, a new scope was decided to go on. He is sold on fitting a Bushnell ?-16x50mm So now I find the problem. The...

hi, i am relatively new to reloading. I have two books on reloading and both say to check and trim cases when required. Both books don't say if you do it before or after fls the case. I trimmed to min length before fls the case and after the fls the case then measured under the min length. When...
