I recently changed brass on my 130 gr Partition load from Winchester to Nosler. The Win case was loaded with 55 grs of Reloder 16 and muzzle velocity was 3110 fps or so. I tried 55.5 gut it badly flattened primers so I backed off. 56.0 was the max load according to Aliants wed site. When I...

The Navy wouldn't take my father because he was too young so he went to the merchant academy on Catalina Island and then went to sea on a merchant ship. He was 16. He turned 18 carrying ammo to the navy gun crew on his liberty ship off Okinawa. He went through that typhoon that Halsey sent...

Those look fine and I haven't a clue about how to use one nor do I hunt turkeys.

Yeah, but it's dry heat! 🤣

Scotty that little taper mics out at 005" at the tip less than the neck. It goes away when the case is resized.

I have one pound of Reloder 22 and it has 257 Roberts written on the label. It's the only powder that makes my Bob smoke with 110 Accubond.

It took me a while to remember back when I might have had only four powders on the shelf. It must have been IMR 3031 for 30-30 win, IMR 4350 for 243Win, IMR 4895 for 30-06 semi auto, and my first Hodgdon powder 4831 for 270win and 30-06 bolt. Shortly after that came powders for handguns and...

Seeing as the necks are always blackened after being fired I'm leaning on fouling. I'll get back after I give it a good scrubbing and shoot some more.

I'm gonna give the throat an good scrubbing with a carbon remover and see if it repeats.

These were new cases that I neck sized and deburred and i.d. chamfered. After firing they're still shorter than max.

I have a new lamp on my reloading bench with a large magnifying glass and on my last batch of fired 220 swift brass I noticed an irregularity on the tip edge of the neck. It appears that the first hundredth or so is tapered after firing. I can't say for sure if this has been occurring all...

Which is the better low light optic?

Quail season in South Texas used to go until the end of February. Back in the day groups often shared hunting leases. The bird hunters had it from 1st Jan to end of Feb. The deer hunters used it for the three months of deer season.

I tried to trade a Glock 43 for a p 365 at a shop in Houston a while back. The guy wouldn't take the trade, said he couldn't move the Glock.

IMHO, so many different shooters make the results less accurate. In fact adding a human factor makes it inaccurate. The only thing I agreed with was their conclusion that factory ammo is good enough. I did enjoy reading the article none the less.

I thought about getting one back at the turn of the century but even then brass was soooo expensive. 220 Swift +

That's a really great collection. Are the three partially holowed leg bones in the last frame atlatl handles?

That is a slick looking rifle. Good luck with your hunting. Looking forward to seeing pictures. I recall traveling through the Black Forest in the 70s and seeing shooting houses in all the clearing as we passed by. I thought it would be an adventure to hunt there.

Alas I have but a very small amount of Reloder 22 on the shelf. Just enough to keep me in 257 Roberts loads for a few years.

I could live with it.
