    Loading for the M6 scout 22 Hornet

    I just picked up a Scout in 22 hornet and would like some feedback if any of you have loaded for one. Such as bullet weight, powders, CAOL and any other stuff I cant remember right now. The scout has an 18" barrel but I dont know the twist rate. Maybe someone has loaded for a similar length 22...

The results were interesting and not the first time I've seen this but this is the first time I've mentioned it online to get some...

    headspace question

    How important is headspacing? Better yet, what does it do? Is there a way to check it without a gauge? I've been reloading .308 and .223 for 100's of rounds w/o a gauge and never had a problem, that I know of. So whats up with the headspace gauge?

    reloading with .224 bullets

    I have, over the years, owned several .223 rifles and handguns in semi-auto, bolt and single shot. This means I have a bunch of .224 bullets to reload with and that got me to thinking about maybe getting another rifle to shoot this bullet out of :D This time I am thinking of a larger case but I...

    the life of a primer?

    I was going through some old boxes and found some primers. They have been boxed up (factory primer boxes) for the past 10 years but some of them are just laying on the bottom of the container they were stored in, outside of the factory boxes and rolling around. The look like new but I was...

    Help with a springfield 67F

    I have a 12 ga springfield 67F that has not been touched for at least 20 years. I took it apart for a good cleaning and getting it back together is turning into a problem. Problem is after everything is back together the slide will not go back after dry firing without pushing in the release...
