I tend to think that every step in the process from decapping to crimping and everything in between has the potential to effect it. The biggies, IMHO, would be neck tension, case length, OAL, and brass consistency.

That’s how I ended up with 6 caulking guns 😉

Doing a paint and flooring job in the spare bedroom I as use for my reloading room, and good golly! Doing the clean out I realized just how much stuff I have amassed over the years! Looking back to when all I had was a Lee single stage, a few tools and everything I owned for reloading fit neatly...

Thanks fellas! Been a while since I’ve had time to get in the shop and build one that isn’t spoken for already.

A dandy copper over glass in African Amouk wood. Has a ton of raspy old hen. I've never seen a copper call made using Amouk wood, but it sure sounds sweet! comes with two strikers (hickory and rosewood) $65 TYD PM with any questions. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I use a magnum primer with staball in my 280 AI with good results. Is it any better than a standard primer? I can’t say. I’ve almost exclusively gone to magnum anytime I need a LRP, for no other reason than I bought 10,000 when they were all I could snatch up last year.

Nice work and congratulations. That little bullet is certainly up to the task.

My fiancé’s son got a dandy WV 8 point this morning. 6.5 Grendel and 105 grain cutting edge Maximus bullet sitting on top ove Leverevolution. Bullet in the crease of the shoulder, buck ran about 50 yards and nose dived. Exited through the off side ribs.

Put the new stealth cam cell cam up Sunday..this young dude came by and last image it captured was his paw on Monday..torn from the tree, antenna broke off and gnawed on..still works, just no longer cellular capable..hopefully a new antenna will fix it.

I use staball 6.5 with the 140 grain absolute hammer bullet in my 280AI. It’s screaming along at 3200 from my 22”

I have a broken window pane in this wood frame window. There doesn’t appear to be anywhere it separates to remove the pane. It’s a wood frame window from the 80’s. I can’t find any bead or glazing or joints other than the finger joints where the frame pieces join. There isn’t any removable...

They have a big following on FB. from what I gather they are quite nasty on squishy stuff. I looked at them for my 12” Grendel because of the low minimum expansion velocity. Also the owner is always available. He talked to me on his cell while he was traveling on vacation.

Jim, you certainly are a 280 Ackley enabler ;) ....You told me the same thing once upon a time and I ended up with a 280 AI. It's probably my favorite rifle now.

Whoa! Now that’s some fine vittles.
