Gentlemen,
I was in my local GM the other day to purchase some CCI 350 Large Pistol Magnum primers. The sales clerk says "I hope you don't want any rifle primers" I replied "no" and proceded to ask "Why? What's the problem with rifle primers?" He replied back "We haven't been able to get any...
Not real well here in western PA...saw a decent 6-8 pt. whitetail that I could have dropped but tried getting my son to get the shot...he wasn't able to.
I got a button buck with my .280 and 140 gr. Solid Base at about 30 yards.
Spent the last day of PA rifle season without ever seeing a...
Although I never had any experience with military 06' brass and bullets, I have found in some of my .223 military brass, some of the brass had 2 flash holes side by side within the primer pocket. I found this out the hard way when de-priming...that brass snaps a decapping right off the expander...
lefty...My son shoots a Remington 700 SPS in the 7mm-08. After trying several powders with the Nosler 140 gr. BT, I ended up using 46.5 gr. of IMR 4350 which gave me a chrono'd velocity (avg.) of 2784 fps. and sub 1" groups @100 yards.

Pennsylvania has a "muzzleloading season" in mid October in which all forms of muzzleloaders are acceptable for use (flintlocks, percussions, and inlines).
Beginning the day after Christmas, PA has a "flintlock ONLY" season which lasts until mid January or so.
My reloading room/arrow making room
The room is a little disorganized at the moment as I am in between PA Rifle season and PA Flintlock season, but it works well for me; just wish it was BIGGER
I don't if these pics will load...never tried this before...
If they don't load, I imagine...
I just registered this morning. I have been reading the various posts over the course of the last week or so and have found a lot of very interesting info. I had a hard time prying myself away from it!
I look forward to checking out the forums every time I start my cpu. I hope to be able to...
