    UPDATE***Explain this...case will not chamber...

    The problem is likely exactly what flyingagg describes. Conventional dies cannot size right above the belt in cases that are shot in z as different rifle. Only the Willis or Wilson? Die will fix this. I have run into this issue many times before with brass I have picked up

    Steiner Predator 4 scopes

    I have 2 pairs of Steiner binocs that I hunt with and they are excellent. Looking thru some of the “claims” on the Predator 4 series got me interested mainly in low light performance. I have ordered the 2x10x42 on a good Black Friday deal and will be comparing them to the Trijicon Huron, ZEISS...

    6.55x55 loads

    I am using VV N160 in mine with 140 gr bullets with great results as well. The VV powders have been more available than most and sometimes even cheaper

    What will be your cartridge/rifle of choice for this fall? Second?

    so many choices, so little time! Since I will be only hunting deer this fall, will probably rotate 257 R, 25/06, 270 Win, 6.5x55, 308 and 30/06. Might throw in a 7 mag as well.

    2024 Spring Brown Bear Hunt Report

    Bullet Identification

    I bought a batch of assorted pull down bullets last week and got 7 of these strange bullets I cannot identify. They are .277 diameter, 113 gr weight, no visible hollow point and 3 grooves, obviously an all copper bullet. I was thinking this might be intended for a 6.8 SPC or 277 Fury but that is...
