I've been patiently watching and waiting for a couple pounds of RL26 to become available though I'm starting to wonder if my odds of successfully baptizing a feral cat are higher. A couple of sources suggest VV N565 as a substitute for RL26, was able to find a couple pounds locally though my...

Back in late March I got myself a Tikka T3x Lite chambered in 6.5 PRC and picked up some 140gr Norma Whitetail to sight-in with. After getting the Leupold VX-5HD 4-20x52 mounted on it I went to the range. While the grouping was within satisfactory for hunting, eight shots withing a 1.25" area, I...

Caldwell offers bags that are designed to fit the lead sleds that you can fill with whatever you choose, such as sand or lead shot, depending on the model you're using they also have bags that can hold water.

Every time they run promotions like this, they never have what I need. 😩

I have never been gutsy enough to load a full tray before seating the bullets.

Never had that with any of my Nosler Premium Brass, had a few bags of factory seconds for my .270 Winchester that wouldn't chamber and had to run them through a body die to bump the shoulder back a tad, after that I learned to full length resize all virgin brass, even Nosler Premium products.

The ammo case wasn't too tall...I was just having one of my, 'bull in a China shop moments'. 🫣

While it wasn't me that did this, I had to go into our SAP system and make corrections to our stock, but I recall someone who managed to dump over $500 of Liquid Crystal Polymer resin on the floor in a similar fashion. He was setting up a new run, tuned the dryer on, stabbed the wand into the...

If you have access to Vihtavuori powders, they offer eight different recipes with the 165gr ABLR Back in 2022 Steve Gash ran a publication in Shooting Times sharing two different loads for the 6.8 Western and 165gr ABLR.

I wish that's all it was! 🤣🤣 Summer is just getting started and I'm already tired of sticking to everything I touch, truck seat, windowsill, center counsel, lawn chair, myself, recliner, etc, etc.

I noticed that when checking the weight of each charge, several of them were 0.01gr +/- from the target weight. Around here the humidity rarely drops below 50% during the summer months, when the crops start drying out for harvest the humidity gets worse which is caused by what is known as "Corn...

This is what I've started doing...a turret press would be nice right about now! 🙃

Well…I didn’t expect that to happen!! 🤦‍♂️ Decided to try using GRT’s optimized data for my .270 WSM after the results I seen here. As I was wrapping up and putting things away, my clumsy butt(hand) managed to knock the MTM ammo box containing the forty rounds I’d loaded, all over my bench...

Beings one of the FAQ's Federal has mentioned with this product on their website is to check with the manufacture for compatibility with existing rifles. I'm interested in knowing where the gun makers stand on this.

Something to keep in mind, when the 6,8 Western made its debut Nosler bullets were on the verge of extinction and when a retailer would finally get some in stock there would be restrictions on how many boxes could be purchased.
