I've shot 2 hogs on multiple occasions with a single bullet. I've actually filmed a hunt where I killed 2 with the same bullet.

Well, I'm just a hop, skip and a little jump due west of you in Houston, TX! I have family that lives in Mobile, Alabama. Spent many summers during my youth hunting in Alabama, and fishing in Dolphin Island. There was a big pier there that had speckled trout running every summer and we would...

Rick makes good points on expander balls. If you use a die that has them, keep them clean and free of debris or they can scratch the inside of the case mouth, and also polish them to let them slide through the case mouth easier. It's easy to achieve more bullet grip/tension as well by polishing...

Dubyam, while I agree it sounds like you have a firm plan in place for processing your brass, I think you may have missed the part where the OP might not have the experience that you or I have at this, and he might not understand exactly how it is we are doing what we are doing. I'm hopeful...

Lot's of great replies here with some good info. I'll add my OPINION-as it is just that-my opinion. I don't believe in PFLR with a F/L die. Think about the neck portion of the die. If you are not sinking the brass all the way up into the die, then you are only sizing a portion of the neck...

I've got some 7MM Mag. brass that is on it's 7th reloading-and showing no signs of any case trauma. I've got some 30-06 cases that are on their 15th reloading. Annealing does work. I typically anneal after every firing, but I've heard that most people only do it after several firings (3-5)...

And to further add to what Ole #7, and Rick Smith are saying, IF you are neck sizing only, and WHEN the time comes to bump the shoulder back, you can buy shoulder bumping dies that will ONLY push the shoulder back, leaving the base of the case expanded to fit your chamber. Granted, this would...

I agree with Rick Smith-neck size with a neck sizing die. Anytime you try to use a F/L sizing die to neck size, you are re-sizing the body of the case to a dimension that is POSSIBLY (likely) smaller than your chamber and then the brass will have to expand again to fit your chamber upon firing...

Well, I have the gun here at work with me this morning. I'm going to take some pictures and post them here shortly. I'll have to use my cell phone to take the pictures so they might not be the best in clarity. Gun does have a few scratches on the stock now that I have studied it closer but...

Steven, I do hand-load, and already have a batch of 50 rounds (ladder test with 2 different powders RL-22 & 4831 using Nosler 100 Grain Flat base bullets) to see which charge weight it likes. I simply never got around to shooting it at the range. I loaded the bullets, and then boxed them, and...

Since the OP makes mention of possibly having a rough bore, I was wondering would his rifle not be a candidate for one of the bore coating products? I've read about these ceramic based products that you apply to a clean barrel that supposedly act like a sealer for the bore surface, and give the...

I came across a used Remington 700 in 6MM. I got it from the original owner who has had it for years & years, and never shot it. He sold it to me because he never used it, and needed cash. I gave $450 for the gun and it looks like it's brand new. I knew there were early guns with a slower...

I recently bought 5 bags of 2nds on Bivwak.. I got the package today, and I was quite surprised to find 3 bags of 2nds, and 2 brand new boxes of FIRSTS! Of course there was no extra charge! Talk about a class act! Once I figured out how accurate Nosler bullets are, I have switched all rifle...
