Sometimes a die just won't cooperate. I have a 30-06 sizing die by RCBS that no matter what I used for a lube, the case would stick to the point that I had to use a stuck case remover. I tried everything from soap to STP. When Imperial sizing wax came out I tried it as well. No matter, the case...

"N.A.T.O.? Personally I’m in favor of withdrawing from that despot organization and kicking them off U.S. soil." If you'd have said the United Nations I would be 100% in agreement with you. I used to run a bumper sticker before it weathered into distruction that said."GET THE UN OUT OF THE US...

I beg to differ. One manual shows 51.0 gr. of 4895 as being a max load with the 150 gr. 30 caliber bullet in the 30-06. Ay one time that manual said 51.0 gr. was the starting load. Both loads are genuine published load just a relatively few years apart. Same manual just different copyright...

I can't speak for plated bullets or how hot or not you can reload then but I shoot strictly my own cast bullet loads in several .44 magnums. Powder of choice is A2400 but I have used W296 which is exactly the same as H110, just a different lot. The W296 load I run is 24.0 gr. with either the 240...

When my son in law bought a Winchester FWT in .300 WSM, he was insistent that I load his brass with a specific powder and bullet to a charge level I considered potentially excessive. I had him leave the gun, dies and components with me and I'd do a work up to determine if what he wanted was...

I run Wilsons in a Colt Combat Commander. The only Mec Gars I have are for a SIG P220 .45 ACP. Two factory mags that came with the gun plus two spares I bought from a dealer. Paul B.

I moved to Arizona back in 1979 and during the time I've lived here have drawn maybe six deer tags, two elk and zero antelope. I did a guided ranch hunt for antelope in 2009 and 2010 my first guided elk hunt on a ranch. I did do a few more elk hunts on that ranch, the last one in 2019. That...

Sounds good. Paul B.

Well, give me a shout when you hit town. Only thing that might get in the way id doctor appointments. My coffee might be a bit nasty but it's good. Paul B.

My stepson was a stubborn cuss. He complained of a lower back pain in his early twenties but refused to see a doctor. He was into bodybuilding big time and thought the pains was a strained back or something. It never went away and he still refused to seek medical aid. His boss liked him and sent...

The different color primers strikes me as odd. Too, apparently possibly several different lots of ammo as well. Each one of those different lots could be using the same powder but different lots of that powder. Could even be a different powder altogether. Also brass is probably from different...

I think he just did just before trump was sworn in. Paul B.

I got poor accuracy from that bullet. that was a surprise I didn't expect. Paul B.

I won't say the urge to buy another gun doesn't happen and lately it's been quite insistent. However, I believe that at my age I should be divesting myself of a goodly portion of what I do have. I just can't seem to get started doing this evil deed. It's like kicking m kids out into the cold...

I do pretty much the same as WvBuckbuster with the exception of sighting in 3" high at 100 yards. I can usually hold on hair out to 250 to 275 yards on the average size deer and holding with a bit of daylight between an elk's back made it an easy shot on my longest shot ever; 530 yards on a cow...

I've been in my home since 1979 and have never filed a claim. I have storm damage on my roof and I'm sweating what results I might get from my insurance company. I haven't seen the new price yet but my car/truck insurance just took a healthy jump up. Paul B.

Probably won't be much help but with my first .243, while I never shot a deer with the rifle, four of my neighbor kids did use my rifle for their first deer hunt and all got their animal. Bullet used was the 100 gr. Hornday SPFB over IIRC, H4350. I gave that rifle to the son of a friend for his...

Can anyone explain how Soros escaped being tried during the Nuremberg trials? He should have been dancing on the end of a rope along with the rest of the war criminals. Paul B.

When it comes to RL15 and RL17, I tink I would pay the price for a couple of the 5 pound cannisters of each powder. RL15 if fantastic in my .35 Whelen and is very good in the .308. I think that's what Federal uses in their .308 match ammo. RL17 makes my 7x57 a screamer surpassing the the .280...

No problem. These days some consider Elmer's load too hot for any gun, even the well overweight Redhawks. I had a 6" 629 for a while and after about 250 rounds of Elmer's load it had to go back for repair. Then after 200 more rounds back again it went. When I got it back? It went. I generally...
