    Loading for Youth

    I've loaded reduced loads in 30-30 for my brother's girls and currently use a 125 AB in my 308 Model Seven. To me recoil isn't much more than a .243 but could be reduced further with a little less powder. I've killed deer with it from in your face out to about 225yds with out issue.

    Lose of our son.

    Man that sucks....prayers for your entire family! We had a daughter taken from us a little over nine years ago. Some days will be better than others but keep pushing forward.

    Moving Bench

    I hate normal height cabinets so I built mine with just a 2 X 4 frame to make it taller. The top is a recycled butcher block top with shelves under it to store large items like tumblers and the rifle vice. All the small components like brass and bullets are stored on shelves adjacent to the...

    Amateur Hour

    Plans for this one have floated around the internet for a long time. Nothing fancy but it seems to work with a cheap torch. He had better plans for the torch holder but never got it finished so I made one with a scrap of plywood.....ugly but functional.

    Amateur Hour

    All, My FIL started building one of the DIY brass annealers in 2021. Unfortunately he passed before it was finished so my son and I finished it up. Today was the first time using it since I hadn't finished the load development with my 300 RSAUM. Thought a rainy day would be a good...

    Hawaii... anyone?

    Never hunted there but Axis deer is good eating. Almost like a mix between whitetail and elk.

    Sabot Sleeves

    Crush rib sabots normally load easier. You can order all kinds of sabots directly from MMP if you know your barrel diameter.

    44 mag

    I mostly shoot 240 grain and heavier but almost always use 2400 for hunting loads. Even though I wear hearing protection, it seems to have less muzzle blast than H110/W296. I also use it in .357 mag hunting loads for the same reason.

    Fireforming Update- Ruger 375 brass

    Same reason I'm holding onto my 300 SAUM brass like it's gold......somtimes the logistic tail doesn't support what they deveoped. Hopefully they'll do a run so people can stock up.

    10mm Auto 180gr powder?

    Longshot for highest velocity, but I think I get better accuracy with blue dot and HS-7 (if you have it)
