I am locked in a debate with a buddy on if a bull barrel actually makes a difference when shooting cans and squirrels at short to mid range. He seems to think that only way small critters die and cans get holes put in them is with bull barrel. I run a 10/22 stock carbine with a sporter barrel...

I work with a guy who does all his case prep work while enjoying a few beers. I know the rules just as well as he does with drinking and reloading but I thought I would pick everyone's brains. shut it down if it gets out of hands I know its a touchy subject just looking for honest opinions. He...

So how hard is it? I reload for 12 rifles ranging from 17 fireball to a few Ackley Improved and a few big bores. I recently just went out and bought Stevens 512 in 28 gauge and 20 gauge. Just wondering if I should start shot gun now. How many times can I reload a hull? My biggest question...

I am reloading 308 and I grabbed some rem 9 1/2 Magnums like 5000 to be exact anyway... the fed 210 M is that the same as the rem 9 1/2 M?? so i can use the same Hodgdon 42 to 46 grains to work up a load?
