When it comes to neck tension, it should not make a difference if a case is just neck sized or FL sized as long as both dies size the necks the same. I'm guessing that if it is that old of brass, when you're sizing it the brass it is not staying to the proper size and is springing back some. I...

From all that has been shared, we know that you are not getting enough neck tension. When I load I want a minimum of .002" - .003" neck tension, some like .004". What are your actual mic'd neck measurements, fired, FL or neck sized, and loaded?

The 33 Winchester has a bullet diameter of .338, so there are some good choices out there. Two options that you might look at are the 200 grain jacketed flat points from Hawk or the 200 grain .338/.33 Winchester bullets from Rim Rock. I helped a neighbor, has passed now, form brass from 45-70...

I've got a Cooper model 22 in 6.5-284 Norma. It is fun to shoot but I have never taken it hunting. Mostly it gets taken to a friends property where we can shoot 600, 800, and 1000 yards. I'm sorry to say that it doesn't get used as often as it should.

My father was also in WWII. He fought in North Africa and Europe, but never talked about the war. He passed in 2005.

Guy, I'm looking down the barrel at turning 75 this year and enjoyed every word you wrote. Like you, I also have had a heart attack. But mine was 26 years ago while out turkey hunting. After recovering from bypass surgery I've followed my doctor's instructions and medication regiment, and was...

I offered this up a long time ago and it is still available to anyone that can use it, with the same deal. I have a B-Square #16450 blued mount and rings that fits a Charles Daly Semi-Auto 12 still in the original package. It's free and I will pay the shipping to anywhere in lower 48 states.

I'm shooting a 338-06 Ackley Improved with 210 grain NPT. My son shoots a 35 Whelen with 225 grain SGK. I honestly think that the deer and moose don't know any difference.

I'm with those that load 50 at a time. But I try to keep a sufficient quantity of components to load another 200. It helps during the lean periods when components get hard to find.

I've not hunted Antelope yet, but from what I've read it looks like fun.

I've had it bulge above the web with my 338-06 Ackley Improved. It was Nosler 338-06 A-Square brass virgin brass that was fire formed and then loaded with 61 grains of Reloader 19 and 210 NPT. The load shot well and I had no issues with extraction and or primer flattening. I used that load to...

Welcome! There is a wealth of knowledge among the members, and it is always interesting to share and read others perspectives on different subjects. I'm 74 and I think I learn something new every time I login.

The Midwest has changed over time too, but not like the California influence on the West coast and Colorado! I think either WY or SD are great choices.

Can your design work on non-belted cases that are bulged in front of the web?

If 4064 doesn't work for you, IMR-4895 is also a good choice in semiautomatics like the model 4, 740, 742, 7400, and the M1 Garand.

If they are close in low light conditions, I would opt for the 1.75-5x20 for flexibility in different hunting conditions. That said, there is an advantage to using a fixed power, you are never reaching for the power ring when you should be focused on taking the shoot. I also hunt swamps, so I...

I'm interested in hearing what powders are considered "must have" on your shelf for working up loads. Also, what cartridges you would consider them useful for. We know that there is no such thing as a universal powder but some tend to be our go-to choices to at least try. For me four powders are...

My only experience with a 338 is my 338-06 Ackley Improved. It is a joy to shoot, doesn't beat the heck out of me, and is capable of taking anything that I plan to hunt.

Congratulation on a great looking setup that appears is going to be a shooter! Also, I appreciate the detail that you've shared with the group.

There is a lot of interesting stuff on that auction
