    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.

    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...

    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.

    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...

    260 OAL Issue

    Started preparing to load some 130 AB's for my son's 260 last night. Lapua brass sitting on bench ready to load, so proceed to check OAL for the round. Measurement I took said 2.910 to the lands. I backed off 0.030, giving me 2.880 for a starting point. I still had a couple of 120 BT's loaded...

    25-06 Issue

    Well, I was doing a little loading for a buddy's 25-06 this afternoon and encountered an issue I have never had before. I do not do any neck sizing, and the brass for this rifle has been neck sized since new- around 3-4 firings. I loaded for this rifle last year with absolutely no problems. I...

    Good Start for 2012

    Well, the 2012 SC season is underway. My son (who's 9 now) has already put two does in the freezer. He seems to be handling the .260 very well. He shot his first at 200 yds, and the second at 155 yds. Both deer were taken on Wednesdays, however, yesterday he chose trick-or-treating over the deer...

    Anybody have a good load for 140 gr bullets in 270 WIN using either RL-22 or H 1000? Still playing with Accubonds, looking to tune accuracy some.

    Hornady Interbond SST

    Does anyone have any experience shooting the Interbond SST? Accuracy? Terminal performance? I was thinking about giving them a run- 140 gr in 270 WIN. Any experience that could be shared is appreciated.

    Son's First Deer

    Went to the blind Friday afternoon with my 8 year old son. He's hunting this year with his own rifle (only when I'm with him of course), a custom .260 REM his grandad had built for him. We had been in the blind around an hour when he whispered that a deer had stepped into the field. He made a...

    Lapua Brass

    Dad just sent 40 pieces of Lapua brass for my son's .260. I typically use Winchester brass and always resize as a first step. The Lapua brass was annealed from the factory, and I believe resized as well. Should I run this brass through the sizing die prior to loading? Being a vienna sausage...

    .270 WSM & RL 17

    Starting load development for a friends .270 WSM. Have RL 19, 17 & IMR 4350 to get started with. Nosler Manual 6 does not have loads listed for RL 17, however, according to the Alliant web page that powder is ideal for the "short magnums". Planning on pushing 140 gr bullets, probably BT's. Any...

    .260 REM Load Using H 4831sc

    Anyone have a good "pet load" for the .260 REM using H 4831sc? I am planning to try some IMR 4350 as well, but have a good bit of 4831sc on hand for the .270 WIN. Planning to push 120 gr NBT's. Thanks in advance.

    Redding Competition Shell Holders

    Does anyone here have any experience with the Redding Competition Shell Holders? I was wondering how they worked as a means to partial size cases. Had a friend that said he used them to partial size/neck size and they worker well. I load for several .270 WIN rifles, and they would be...

    Neck Sizing Die

    I'm considering a neck sizing die purchase for my .270 WIN. I've been full length resizing everything until now. Would bushing dies or standard neck sizing dies be best? What particular brand works for you?

    COAL Guage

    I'm looking into a COAL gauage and wondered what type was being used/recommended. Any advice? I've been leaning towards the Hornady, but didn't want to jump into a purchase uninformed.
