    Those Were The Days

    My wife cut up the other day because the eggs had gone from $6.00/18 to $7.49/18. It’s unbelievable.

    7mm RM

    Going to start loading for my BIL’s 7 mag. I’ve never loaded for a belted mag before, so I guess I’m looking for some loads and anything to watch out for. Thanks in advance.

    Not A Rifle

    I also decided to get in the group and start bow hunting during college. Bought a bow, joined local club- even shot in several 3-D events. Actually was pretty good with that thing. Went to friends place opening morning of bow season here in SC. Been in tree roughly an hour and a small six...

    .260 REM

    We run IMR 4350 with the 130 AB’s in my sons .260. It’s been a really good one so far.

    Press Set Up

    Scotty- I ended up backing off 1/4 turn and kept easing the die down slightly until I had a .001 bump by the headspace gauge. Everything chambered well so I assume I’ve got it handled. I still have my son’s 260 REM to get set, but I think I’ve got one more round of tedious die work in me. I’m...

    Press Set Up

    I am planning to put my new Co-Ax to work. I’ve been loading on a Rock Chucker since I started rolling my own. I have switched to Forster dies and have been very pleased with the results. I plan to see only bumping shoulders. Is there a rule of thumb as to how far off the shell holder jaws to...

    270 Win 140 AB Assistance needed

    I’m a little late on this one, but I finally got something encouraging with H414 under the 140 AB. I haven’t tuned the load yet, but shot it last year and was pleased.

    Been A While

    TD- Florence followed around a week to week and a half by Michael was really tough. My part of the state was not hit terribly hard. We had some wind damage and heavy rain but little flooding. I’ve traveled assessing crop damage and it was really hard in some areas. I have some really good...

    Been A While

    Yes sir- a trip to the taxidermist was made. Shot was around 170 yds with a 140 Accubond over H414. 270 WIN.

    Been A While

    It's been quite a while since I've posted, life seems to get in the way sometimes. I managed to slip out Saturday morning to the stand before shop work had to begin- killed the biggest deer I've seen in 25 years.

    300 WSM

    Buddy of mine stumbled across a Howa 1500 for a steal. Never loaded for the 300 WSM, any starting points appreciated.

    Shotgun Advice

    Scotty- I have a SX3 and absolutely love it. It is the only shotgun I own, and does everything from turkey to ducks and even gets beat through the bushes chasing cottontails. I will admit, it has some trouble cycling light loads- but I would buy another one even knowing that. One of the better...

    Rifle Recommendation For A 10 Year Old

    My son started with a 260 REM when he was 9. It has been more than adequate on our SC whitetails. I've actually developed a bit of liking for it myself.

    IMR 7828SSC in .270 WIN

    Thanks guys, picked up some info somewhere that the 7828 was working well with the 150LRAB and was able to get some on sale so I grabbed a pound.

    IMR 7828SSC in .270 WIN

    I recently picked up a pound of 7828 ssc at Cabelas. Planning to start testing some 150 LRAB's in my .270 WIN. Any pet loads for a starting point? Thanks in advance.

    Inconsistent COAL

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, I am measuring to the ogive with a Hornady comparator. And I guess looking back I should have, but checking the case length after resizing didn't cross my mind- I was thinking new brass, and Lapua at that, wouldn't need it . After resizing I assume now it should have...

    Inconsistent COAL

    Well, being that we are snowed in I decided to get on with the AB load work for my son's 260. To clarify, Dr. Mike, snowed in occurs in SC when you have anything over 4 in of winter precipitation. I primed the Lapua brass, dropped my powder charge, and seated the first bullet. Adjusted the...
