    Load suggestions for 6.5x55 swede and 223

    Hello, I am just getting into reloading and am going to start with these two calibers. Any suggestions on loads I can start with? I bought a rockchucker supreme kit, which included the speer manual, but I would like to start out by loading with Hornady or Sierra bullets. A few questions I...

    6.5 x 55 or 7mm-08?

    I am looking for a light recoiling rifle that I could use on for deer, and possibley black bear in the future. I plan on starting to re-load in the near future so lack of availability of ammo for both rounds will hopefully not be an issue. I was considering a 25-06 since Antelope hunting could...

    .204 velocity out of a 22" barrel

    Hello, How much volicty do you lose on .204 using a 22" barrel compared to a 24" or 26"? I almost picked up a Handi Rifle in .204 tonight, but then noticed the barrel was only 22" and didn't know what kind of impact this would have on velocity. Any help you can give me will be greatly...

    handi rifles?

    Hello, I was at the local gun shop this weekend and they had a NEF Handi Rifle in several calibers for $179. I am looking for input on these guns since that is a deal that I think is hard to pass up. The one I have in mind is a heavy barrel in .204. How accurate are these guns? Will they shoot...

    Coyote Hunters, I have a question for you

    What do you do with them after you shoot them? Especially in the warmer months when their hides aren't as valued as in the winter. I am considering taking the plunge into Coyote hunting, but I want to make sure I can do something with the animal, if I am lucky enough to get one. Can you donate...

    Hello, I am looking for a varmint/target scope for my new rifle. I currently have a 3 x 9 on it, but want something with higher magnification. I would like to stay close to $300 and am looking for something with a low end of 4 or 5 and a high end between 14 and 16. Any recommendations? Thanks

    Savage 12BVSS

    Hello, I want to thank all of you who recommended a Savage when I posted a few months back. I bought a Savage 12BVSS last week and sited it in the following day. Today was it's first trip to a 100 yard range and I was very pleased. Three out of four groups shot with Winchester ammo could be...

    Rock Chucker or Lock N' Load

    Hello, I would like to get into re-loading and was looking for opinions on the RCBS Rockchucker or the Hornday Lock N' Load Classic Single stage presses. Midway has the Hornday kit for $279.99 and the RCBS kit for $249.99. Is one press better than the other? What other accessories would I need...

    Went window shopping today and changed my list :)

    Hello all, I am revising my choices slightly. I am going to remove the RRA Varmint, can't justify spending that much money on a gun at the moment. One of the local shops had a CZ 527 in stock today and it was 60 bucks cheaper than the local competition, plus they would have to order it. The CZ...

    CZ, Savage or RRA

    Hello all, I was hoping you could help me decide. The gun would be used for mostly shooting from a bench. I already have several 22s that I use on the 50 yard range, but there are only 3 benches at the range I go to and I would like to get a gun that I could use on the 100 yard range. I...
