50 g Zmax over H322 (or XBR) is the ticket on yotes.. show stopper (not fur friendly) and under $60 for 500 packs for the bullets. Nice flat shooters that do the job.!! .. or if staying with Nosler, 55 g BT orange points. Other than the zmax ......only other bullet I will shoot at yotes are...

For target, prairie dogs and yotes..... we have a whole crew using AR's for these purposes, all but a few reload. Across numerous AR's with 1:9.... we have one powder and one bullet that leads the charge ...frankly, I have yet to find an AR that wont shoot this combo very very well Hornady 50g...

As others have indicated, no contest, get the Dillon. My favorite press is my Dillon 550. Dillon makes a great press, and it'll always be worth 80% of what the current new press of the same number is going for. What I would do, as others have indicated...is snag it and send it to...

Joel, I have owned/enjoyed/recommended the BenchSource Annealer for a long time. Giraud also makes a machine that gets a lot of great reviews. But I gotta tell ya.... if I didn't already own my Bench Source .... the DoItYourselfers have come a long way. Here is a pretty slick machine...

Good point, I concur.... Speer TNT's are violent. I failed to think of them as I haven't been able to find a load with this bullet in any of my rifles that would give me effective and consistent accuracy on pop can sized targets past 200 yards. A good economical choice if a person could...

Joel. Here is your answer imo. IF your brass is annealed correctly every time it is annealed (IE not overheated/over softened), annealing it twice (or 3,4 etc) in a row, regardless of if it has been fired, will not make it dangerous. Another way to think about it.... consider the perfect...

Congratulations and a sincere THANK YOU!

Our p-dog crew shoots Hornady 50g Z-Max by the thousands every summer ... very accurate bullet and will give you the show you might be looking for on prairie dogs or similar sized critters. (it's all I use on coyotes too ..they are deadly). 12 cents or less ...for a very accurate bullet that...

For those who use sizing dies that index off a hard stop (die to shell holder), who want to be able to make simple and repeatable headspace adjustments..... Redding makes sets of graduated shell holders in many calibers for this purpose. What is nice about these...is once you know the "ideal"...

ElmerThud ..while we may have different opinions on crimps ... I could not agree more with you about the importance of consistent and repeatable headspace measurements on sized brass, each time, time after time, tailored to the rifle. We may get there different ways, but agree with you it is...

Wyo7200, I too prefer and absolutely promote the benefits of fired brass. fwiw, I don't think its your ssm cleaning. I deprime and clean in a wet ss media tumbler prior to sizing also, so all my "carbon lube" gets removed each time. I then anneal, lube (lanolin based DIY lube), and size...

Not exactly a great mate for the scale you ordered .... but imo the RCBS chargemaster combo is an excellent and economical choice for 99% of most needs. I check mine often, and it hasn't failed me yet ... great with any powder. http://ads.midwayusa.com/product/772151 ...

Back to the Neck Tension question. People seem to measure it in various ways and understand it in various ways it seems. No right or wrong answer. I will say this though, imo .... Once I find the neck tension that is "best" for a given load (and by best I mean the most accurate during...

>3000 round update pistol continues to function flawlessly, this will be the final update, it has convinced me it works lol

I've seen a number of methods in the prairie dog fields. The method I like is multiple weapons lol. Seriously though, the wet rag is fairly common. Will also say, water down the barrel followed by swabbing the barrel will cool them and works well, but is a pain and may cause some concern...

Love that surveyors tripod idea Muleman!!!! Going to keep my eye out for one at the auctions this summer! I could easily mount my RCBS RASS top on it and use that when driving in is not allowed or advisable. Thanks for pics. Had also looked at the Deadshot Chairpod for walk in's...

Portable.....and hated by prairie dogs, its what I use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFBaANEcWgY (there are also a lot of other video idea's on the margin side of that link for DIY ideas)

Not exactly, but I do use it (XBR) with 77 gr nosler custom comps link from when I was developing viewtopic.php?f=4&t=28315

While you did trim your brass (many/most don't trim 9 brass), varying headstamps can/will cause slight diff's in COAL's.....as will sharp edges caused by trimming being run with othes that didn't touch the trimmer. If you have mixed headstamps, this is part of it. I also seat and crimp in two...
