    After responses on here ...I picked up Lee case length gauge for trimming the 30 kong and grabbed a 44 mag as well...

    I had lee make me a 25-284 gauge. It had a tiny bit too large a diameter to fit in sized cases easily. I put up with it for a few years then contacted them. Sent them a sized case and the gauge and they sent me a new one, no charge. Works good.

    44 mag bullet opinions please...

    Most accurate bullet I have tried is the 240 XTP. 296 powder. I haven't shot a deer with, but that would be the one I would try. Old ruger flattop with scope. My dad took several whitetail with it using a 240 grain hollowpoint cast bullet and 2400 powder.

    Technical question regarding temperature and powders.

    My best groups have been in the cold. Only when the temps are over 90F do i see variations. I am not a 600 yard hunter however.

    I Messed up on Ear Protection

    My dad was taught in Korea while training on artillery that you just get used to it. His only help was cigarette filters. He was frustrated by hearing aids later in life. My friend shoots with a brake. It is worst when under the roof of the range. Even double up hurts some. I wish suppressors...

    Setting Up a Safe and Effective Home Target Practice Area?

He did not have ventilation, unknown issue at the time. Local pistol range under the town pool was shut down due to high lead. Check...

    Why reloading is satisfying (sometimes)

    A rifle my Grandad made for my mom from things he had lying about. It is a Remington Model 722 that had been a 222. My Grandad rebored it and rechambered to 7x57, a popular "girl's gun" at the time. Since it has chamber length limitations he use the improved chamber to make up for the shorter...

    22" barrel. 41 grains at 2495 fps. Looks like I can increase the powder charge and try some more. The bullets are 50 years old. I may have to buy another box.
