    Separated case

    I once fired some Match factory Federal ammo, saved them for reloading for the first time and found that half of the batch had loose primer pockets after the 2nd firing. Never went back to Federal brass for this reason. Stuck with quality brass like Lapua, Norma and Nosler, its all I use. The...

    Separated case

    I second Idaho53's advice, I would toss all that brass and get some new quality brass. What brand of brass are those?

    Loading 38 Super

    Hi Guy, finally I was able to get out and shoot the .38 Super. Distance was 15 yards with my palms resting on the tailgate in the closed position, trying to keep the cases in the bed without searching for them in the grass. Power Pistol from 6.6 to 7.7 in .2 grain increments for 4 rounds each...

    300 win mag 1:11 twist

    It's possible that you should be fine with a 200 grain in the 1:11 twist, you should be close to the end of the stability threshold. I use a 1:10 twist on mine and it loves the 180 grain AB / BT. Put them on paper and see what it tells you. Keep us posted.

    225gr TTSX

    It's tough to destroy TTSX petals like that. Shedding petals helps create maximum wound channels imo, especially from a 225 grain TTSX. Nice stuff.

    110gr TTSX

    That is really some good expansion. I would not hesitate to use that on game.

    Which truck / Chevrolet or Ford

    I love the 6 speed Allison on my diesel 2009 HD2500, its a beast. It never downshifts from 6th gear while towing my RV up a bridge or into heavy headwind while cruising 70, it has awesome torque. That never happens with gas HD2500 with their 4 speed transmissions, always downshifts to 3rd...

    Which truck / Chevrolet or Ford

    I was thinking whether to keep my 09 HD2500, since I rarely had any big issues, except replace a glow plug here and there which I do myself after a computer scan for plug #, cracks on the top dash due to the heat, door lock actuators in the back works mostly, but sometimes won't work, and starts...

    Which truck / Chevrolet or Ford

    I want to trade in my crew cab 09 Silverado HD2500 since I don't haul RV's or trailers anymore. I just pull a 20 foot boat to go fish. Wondering which truck I should look into? The HD2500's heavy and are hard on bumps compared to the 1500's. I just like diesel engines due to torque and power...

    Family Size Mobile Blind

    Wow, that is nice. I never thought about that when I started hunting out of box blinds since I was young. It was a pain in the butt to move blinds from lease to lease until I settled on a great well managed lease that I hunted on for 15 years. My blinds was a 4 x 6 and built with half inch...

    Misfire

    That exactly happened to me on a deer hunt when I pulled the trigger on a 10 point buck, click, then chambered again, click and once more, click. We headed back to camp and grabbed a 25-06 and went back out to see if we could find him, saw him again that evening and got him. It was about 30...

    Bubble level for me, I don't think its worth spending the money when a bubble level works imo.
