    Virgin or Once Fired Brass for hunting

    I follow along the same lines as Dr. Mike. I keep my brass sorted as to how many times each one has been fired. I've used new brass and also brass I've fired four times for hunting and haven't had any problems. I do a close check on brass that's been fired for anything out of the ordinary such...

    LE rifle no longer zeroed...

    congratulations on the retirement. I know there's a lot of mixed feelings going on right now but with the other irons you have in the fire the free time will be at a premium. I retired after 22 years and immediately moved to Florida from Connecticut where I got immersed (pun intended) in a dive...

    300 WSM 200 gr AB

    I tried 200 grainers in my Kimber Montana and ran into the same accuracy problems as scotty. I have had great luck with the 180's which gives me the impression that the 200's might be a bit long for the twist. I have read in a number of articles that it is best to stick with 180's or less for...

    Wby ammo faster than advertised?

    Norma loads the Weatherby ammo very stout. I had the same experience a number of years ago when running 180 grain loads out of my .300.

    IMR4895 vs H4895?

    The H-series is a bit slower than IMR. I use H4895 exclusively in my 7-08 and have had great consistency with speed and accuracy.

    Safe?

    What an article and an eye opener. I'm in the market for a safe but I'm going to have to give this expenditure further thought.

    best scope?

    Charlie, I've got a Diavari 1.5X6 mounted on my .338RUM and I couldn't be more pleased. It's been through some interesting hunts without a whimper.

    Shortcut (SC) powder question

    I spoke with Hogdon on this and their response was there is no change in the burning rate. It was designed to meter better through a powder measure.

    Quick sizing question

    Woods, I wasn't going to say what I'm thinking but I think I will. There's a big difference between having honest differences and even if you know someone is wrong mentioning it in a gentlemanly fashion and then turning around and showing yourself to be an a hole. But you are very close to the...

    Quick sizing question

    Don't want to upset the applecart but "fire a case 50 times without annealing?". I need his formula. As far as springback is concerned I would have to agree with Charlie. Without getting into the technical aspects (which would open up a can of worms) I find that after pulling bullets neck...

    King of the .30's

    The .300H&H was an excellent caliber in its heyday and for all intents and purposes still is. I find though, when I'm perusing the many gunshops I don't see much if any H&H ammo on the shelves or rifles on the racks chambered for them. We all have our favorite calibers whether having been...

    Brass Life

    Guy, I'm up to about thirty reloads so far with a lot of .45 cases. Target loads certainly do extend the life of pistol cases. I'm not a maximum load shooter for rifles so I've been able to stretch case life. I find that minimum resizing helps case life a lot and annealing definitely makes a...

    King of the .30's

    Add another vote for the .300WSM. I can easily get just under 3100FPS with a 180 grain and RL17 and it is accurate. Nice thing is that it fits in a short action and most rifles are built around it making them light and pretty much compact. I find I'm going to still hunt for Elk in Colorado my...

    Gun owners in CT engage in widespread civil disobedience

    Thanks Doc. I've seen articles relating to your post in a couple of Conn. Newspapers but my feeling is that the libtards are trying to lowball certain aspects of what is going on.

    Gun owners in CT engage in widespread civil disobedience

    Hope you're right Charlie but since I've left Connecticut for Florida it seems that their looney bin has filled up with the overflow from New York City. Bloomberg came out yesterday and said in an interview to one of the news stations that he is going to outspend the NRA on his gun agenda. The...

    Brass Life

    I find annealing has extended the life of my brass and based on the caliber between 8-10 firings.
