I've been reloading the 454 Casull for years now using Winchester 296, Hornady 300gr XTP mag bullets and WSR primers. These loads shoot nicely and are very accurate. Would I gain any advantage if I start using magnum primers? I will add that I know you dont use reduced loads with 296 which I...

I've been reloading .45 for years now and my supply of Bullseye is running out. I've been looking around and Bullseye is getting hard to find. My question is, what powder can you guys recommend to replace it? I'm using 200 - 230gr jacketed bullets, Winchester brass and Winchester primers. I...

I have an AR type firearm in 308. I want to reload ammo for it but have a few questions. I have a set of the standard 308 dies but for a firearm of this type would the small base dies help with feeding? Also, what would be a good powder/bullet combo? I have a lot of IMR 4895 as I like it for...

I am going to go out this year for fall turkey season. I do not have a 12ga magnum just the standard 2 3/4" 12 gauge. I am a trap shooter so I do a good bit of reloading and figured I'd load some turkey shells up. I have a nice 1 1/4 oz load going 1300fps. Would this be fine for turkeys as...

I was looking over the Bass Pro Shop website and came across a camera called the Day 6 Outdoors Plot Watcher. Its a camera that takes an image every 5 to 10 seconds during the daylight hours. You can then review the footage as a time lapse video. Has anyone used one of these? They look nice...

I have an old Savage Model 23 in 25-20 which is fun for shooting ground hogs. It has decent accuracy, low recoil, and pretty quiet. I've recently got some dies and bullets, Speer 75gr flat points. Does anyone have any experience with this round? I also see there are 60gr and 85 gr bullets...

could someone with a new Sierra Reloading manual give me the powder range of a 180gr Matchking in a 30-06 using IMR 4895? I have an older manual and the charge weight I have been using seems to be under the minimum charge compared to what the IMR website says for a Sierra SPBT(whch isnt the...

A friend asked me if I could do some reloading for him. He wanted some 45 acp loaded. He bought the powder (Bullseye), primers and, bullets (200gr lswc). I tumbled all the brass and loaded about 100 rounds with a middle of the road charge, he said they are the best shooting, most accurate...

I was at a friends house the other day and he got into his gun closet for the first time in about a year. We found a light greyish looking mold or mildew on several of his guns. He asked me what I'd suggest in getting it off but I have no idea. I was a custodian for a while so anything I have...

I have a 454 Casull that I'll be deer hunting with this year. Is there any sort of hearing protection that I could use while hunting deer this year? a 454 fired without ear plugs just plain hurts the ears, I did it once by accident. Also, it will be cold so I'll have a stocking cap on, are...

I live in SE Ohio and the other night 48 exotic animals got loose and are running loose through the area, lions, bears, leopards, etc. Late at night you see something big (animal) run through your yard and moments later a window breaks. What do you do? A 9mm, 38 or 40 will just upset the...

I'll be loading some 357 magnums this weekend for the first time. Bullets are 158gr Hornday XTPs and Cast Performance 180gr. I have been loading 454 Casull for years so I have a supply of 296 and Enforcer. Can anyone recommend a good mid -upper mid- to almost max load. I dont want anything...

My wife , a friend of mine and his wife have all expressed interest in shooting. I figured I'd take them out to do alittle plinking but am not sure as to what load I should make up. I currently have only 2 handguns, a Ruger GP-100 6" and a Ruger Super Redhawk .454 Casull 9". I know I should...

I have a Ruger SRH 9.5" .454 Casull. It shoots great but I've long been thinking about adding a scope. At what distance should I sight it in? I'm deer hunting in the woods of Ohio and I wouldnt be taking any long shots anyways, so I'm thinking 50 yards? Or is it better to sight in at 100...

I recently came across a Glock in .40 S&W. I keep hearing about the unsupported chambers in the Glocks and have been kid of nervous about reloading this round. Can I purchase a new barrel that is fully supported so I can lessen the chance of a KB with the .40? If so, which brand is best...

I have several boxes of 395gr bullets from Cast Performance. I've loaded their 360gr bullets before and loved them so I thought lets see what the bigger bullets are like. Has anyone here loaded these bigger bullets? What powders are best? I have several pounds each of 296 and Ramshot...

Does anyone have any experience with this powder? Will I get a nice fireball and muzzle blast like I do from 296? I'm using it in a .454 Casull by the way.

I have been reloading for a good time now but have recently tried something new. I reload for a .454 Casull and have been trying the 395gr bullets from Cast Performance. Anyone have any experience with these? Anyways, my first batch at just a shade over the minimum load had bullets jumping...

I just bought a gun from a coworker. The gun is a Ruger GP-100. Its in beautiful shape, he says he only fired one cylinder of .357 loads through it and has stored it since. The gun is only a few years old. Everything is nice and tight, no scratches or anything. I paid $350 for it. Is that...

I've been reloading 45 Colts for a while now using Herco and 300gr XTPs. They shoot great and have low recoil, the only thing is using the XTPS for this is somewhat expensive as I like to keep them for my .454 reloads. I'm wanting a low recoiling load for my mom and girlfriend to try (45...
