    Magnetospeed Sporter

    My old caldwell has seen its last legs. Gets more errors than readouts. I ordered one of these from Midway yesterday. I've got 3 Leupold CDS scopes and do my own dialing on the Tikka 6.5. I've got to know a precise speed in order to get custom turrets and dial in on the CM. I hope these...

    This will ruin a firing range day

    After 10 years or more of reloading I got my first case separation. Used 47 grains of H4350 which Hodgdon said max was 50. Round before it was perfect and no signs of pressure. Thought I was on the way to the gunsmith but a 40 cal brush pushed in and brought it out. Pierced primer pocket...

    Annealer

    I’ve got about 250-300 rounds of brass I need to send off to get annealed. 308-7-08 and 6.5 creedmoor. Does anyone know of a reputable company I can send it to with a few week turnaround. Guy that used to do mine sold all his stuff due to health reasons.

    7-08 and 156 Norma Oryx bullet load

    This is excellent ammo in my Tikka T3x. I can’t find any loading data for with exception of Norma’s online load data. I want to pick up a few hundred but I would need to use imr4350 or RL17 or 15. Very few Norma powders available and none they call for.

    Model 70 Super Grade

    I ran on a few of these in 308 and 6.5 cm. I’m just wondering if the new triggers and accuracy is better than my old 1988 model 70. It’s a 2.5 inch grouper at best. For the cost of them now I’d like to know if anyone here has a newer production. Also looking at the Featherweight in 300 wsm for...

    Back with more questions on the 460

    Husband bought a 460 Katahdin barrel for the Encore rifle. I shot it a few times with factory and just being honest it hurt. I cast a 260 grain bullet for a 45 colt and have some lubed and some powder coated. I want to shoot this rifle at 454 pressures which I can handle. I’d like to load up...

    Hornady Auto powder charger

    Two years running flawless and all at once checking on 5-0-5 and a Frankford digital 3 grains over. 3 grains less. Calibration passed ok. Getting ready to toss and thought about the LED Florescent light my husband put over our presses. Didn’t think the LED would interfere. Moved the Hornady 8...

    Hawke endurance and Vantage scopes

    I saw these in a lgs last week. Nice uncluttered reticle with illuminated target dot. Glass looked great in store but I’ve seen that before and not so good at the range. Turrets audible and feel good. 30 mm tube. Written on both MADE IN CHINA. I’ve read a lot of reviews and both scopes get...

    Reloading The TC Encore Pro Hunter

    I picked one up used with a 270 ss barrel. Haven’t shot it yet but only reason I got it was so my husband could buy a 35 whelen and a 338 win mag barrel for it. I might use the 270 for myself or not. It appears that reloading this rifle from what I’ve read is more to setting headspace than just...

    140 grain bullet load for 6.5 Grendel

    Does anyone have any information or an older loading manual that would have a load for 140 Nosler ballistic tips in the Grendel. All 4 of my manuals only go to 129 with exception of Lee and it’s Vita powder hard to find here. Gave up on the creedmoor and have lots of bullets left over I’d like...

    Should I buy a 45

    I usually get the husband a new gun around this time of year. I notice when we go out he will look at more than I can keep up with but he’s been looking at a Walther ppq 45. FNX 45 and the HK 45. Several 1911s but keeps going back to the other 3. He owned a FNP 45 several years ago but got rid...

    F-1 FDR m-3

    I was at local gun store and found this for around 700 out the door. Free floated fluted barrel. Skelotinezed forend. Trigger at 2.6 lbs. was looking at a Sig but this one seemed way better built and a trigger wasn’t something I was going to have to invest in. Called F-1 Monday and he assured...

    Browning A Bolt

    I found on of these s open up in 338 win mag. Thought it might be a nice gift for the husband. Don’t know much about Browning’s but am aware he likes the 338 chambering. Used but in great condition and scoped with a Bushnell Elite but scope doesn’t matter since we have a few laying around. Was...

    Athlon Argos on my Tikka 6.5

    Been checking these out on Amazon and a fairly decent price. Enough variable power to take some critters at a good distance and paper and steel at any distance I can get to here. I want the MOA version in ffp. Don’t trust reviews from most places and they are reviewing about 70% on the...

    Rcbs dies and rings on my cast bullets

    Cast a few hundred last weekend. Was loading up some 45 colt and noticed a ring around nose of all my bullets. Thought it might be my top punch and switched to a flat one. Come to find out it’s my seating stem on Rcbs cowboy dies. Alloy was ww air cooled. Doesn’t do it on my bullets from the Lee...

    Savage axis 223

    I would kind of like one of these rifles with no accutrigger and a Bushnell scope it comes with for general plinking of my reloads. They are under $250.00 at my local gun store today only. Saw a lot of videos with more than decent accuracy. Might need a Timney trigger but looks simple enough to...

    Marlin Model 60

    I’ve been looking at these and reading about them for a few months. Would like to have a nice used one but can’t find any that aren’t all rusted out or beat to death. The new models are on sale at decent prices. Was wondering if anyone owns the newer one and opinions. Would like to do some...

    Tikka T3x Lite 6.5

    Everome on here that knows me knows I’m a Tikka nut. Got a few in several calibers and a CTR in a 6.5. Picked up a Tikka light in 6.5 today. Hoping to get it zeroed in and maybe finish deer season with it and park the 7-08 for a few weeks. Really wanted it to take some lighter bullets without a...

    H335 with cast loads in 45-70

    Anyone got an older load book for a 400 grain gas checked cast bullet for a Marlin 1895. Picked up a lb verses h322 by mistake. Lyman 50th no loads. Hodgdon nothing. I’m thinking Lyman 47th May have had some from what I’ve googled.
