I can tell you that if you find a powder that works stick with it. I did the powder chase the last few years and went through 5 different powders to find that IMR8208XBR worked best for my older .308. My friends rifle shot Varget best. I think each gun has a bit of a personality and like what...

I have a RCBS case trimmer pro model. Like I said I may have trimmed 250-300 cases with it. I am wondering if my de-burring tool might be getting dull as well. That tool I know has trimed thousands of cases being 40 yrs old. Inside neck de-burring is a dream with it but outside is a pain in...

Last night I was prepping some .308 brass and have found a large ring of brass around the neck of the case after trimming. I am wondering if there is a problem. I am having to aggressively de-burr the case mouth after trimming to remove this lip around the outside of the neck. I am wondering...

Ray one thing my Grandfather had always said to me was: "Never ever apologize for asking a question. There are no dumb questions in life. We need to ask questions for us to learn throughout our lives. The world would be a very odd place to live if we all were born knowing everything there is...

Welcome aboard Ray. You will definately enjoy this forum group. I have found everyone to be full of knowledge. I have just recently started using Nosler brass for my .308 (thanks Osprey78) and love working with it. I use it for field and in a non-custom rifle 40+ yrs old. If you can afford...

Merry Christmas wishes to all of you. I would also like to wish you a very Happy New Year to come, and may all of your reloading/hunting/shooting dreams come true. Cheers.

That is a very nice moose indeed. The ABLR's do look very deadly as well. I am totally with you Guy on the dad call want to go question. My 75 yr old dad call me last Feb 2014 and asked me if I wanted to go with him for a 3 day salmon/halibut fishing trip on the BC West Coast this past July...

Well a few years back I sent 97 New Winchester cases that I had bought and only reloaded once back to Winchester. Of course they were unable to ship the brass to me, but sent coupons that I was able to with your help of course get new replacement brass. After much research it appeared that...

Well, that is some great shooting Jimbeaux82. That should get any job done quickly.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I am looking forward to loading up some to see what the coyotes will think of them. I will update later hopefully on the outcome.

I am running 55.0grs of H4350 and 180gr NP's in an older Win Mod 70 30-06 and have around a 1" group with 5 shots. I am also getting 2618fps velocity with that load. I ran up higher, but had pressure signs before the groups would start tightening up again. I have also used IMR4350 with...

I am looking and some extra 150gr NP that I have and thought they might just would great as a coyote pill. I am hoping to get in some winter predator control for our ever dwindling ungulate populations. Anyone have some load info for the 150gr NP and either of these powders - IMR4895, IMR4350...

Wow, that is bang on what the good old Partitions should look like. Very impressive hold together even thru that amount of bone. Can't wait to hear the final weight.

Hey that is so cool. Ahuge avatar. Well I guess I have better fix that on the desktop rather than doing it on the iPad. It does look good though.

I'm thinking we need snowshoes, snowmobile or snow blower to get to the targets this year. Lol

I sure wish that I knew what the velocity is for this load. That is one piece of equipment that I have not been able to add to my cuboard of goodies. I will be checking is as soon as I am able to.

Thanks guys. It sure has been a long and very educational experience. I am hoping to get out before Whitetail season ends here at least once more. Yes, Osprey78 we will get to the range again soon before there is 3-4 feet of snow so I can show you how to shoot. Lol.

Well as most of you have seen my powder struggles over the last 2 years with my .308 BLR, and I believe that chapter has ended. I was put onto trying IMR8208XBR powder, and to my surprise the old BLR seems to really like it. I am shooting 165gr NP's with 41.8grs of IMR8208XBR powder and...

Wow, that is very impressive indeed.
