I use a Wilson case trimmer and love it. Very accurate, easy and fast. Not to mention I smile at the quality every time I use it. Additionally I had to "special order" a case holder for my 338 RUM, it was seven days from when the check was in the mail to when my new case holder was delivered!
I...
I went out to prove the load today and printed several groups just under 1 inch.
One of the five shot groups measured .38. I am done with this project and will order the custom dial from Leupold in the AM. CW
Went out to the range today
The 103 grs of Retumbo had a sticky bolt lift in my gun on one of the rounds, my crony measured 3321 fps..... yikes! That's mighty fast.
I loaded 96.0 grs of RL-25 to mag length and they did OK.
Very much improved when moved up to .02 off the lands. Very good...
I always start with a dry well cleaned barrel!
Fire two shots to foul the bore.
I cool the bore for a couple of minutes between shots.... most of my rifles are hunting rigs, all of them will shoot under 1/2 inch at 100 yards (the 7 mag I am currently working on is messing with me). Most will...
A buddy called me a few years ago and asked if I would "show them around" after his wife drew a tag for the second season......... opening she was on plenty of bulls, one very close to 400 pts.
Another 360-370 class bull @ less than 300 yards and she would not shoot it because she missed the...
Last year it took 15 points for a bull elk tag in the first season (nonresident). Second and third seasons required 13 points.
I hope you put in for a second choice somewhere fun. CW
I can not find any 250 AB locally.
So I bought two boxes of 225 AB's.
Anyone have a good recipe?
Or should I say "JD338 what's your dope on this one?" CW
OK, I went out today in the driving rain and 20 MPH winds to prove my loads..... ya I know I should have waited for a better day.
I shot two 5 shot strings through the crony
AVG. 3047
SD 9
ES 25
Both 5 shot strings grouped under 1.5" in a gusty 20 MPH win.
Remington Brass

I have a lead sled, received it as a gift form my wife one Christmas. It works as advertised, no issues with POI changing or stock damage. I have shot 243 through 338 rum in it.
It is sometimes hard to wrap yourself around the rest when the weather is cold... it adds a bit to your length of...
The lands and groves make up the rifling.
The lands are what the bullet touches first when fired in the barrel.
This length (from base of case to ogive [the portion of the bullet pointed end that is the diameter of the bore] of bullet) can be measured with a variety of tools, most popular is...

I bought my small 12 year old a Ruger compact 243, the gun shot like the wind .2" (yes point 2) groups for the first three shots, every time. The gun has a 16" pencil thin barrel and heats up very fast so the forth shot is always high and right 4". That being said he never needed more than...
