Glad to hear that you fixed the issue. That said, Remington primers seem to have soft cups compared to CCI, and Federal. I’ve tested their primers again recently and they’re usually very flat, and look like they were almost going to go through the cup. Those were BR 7 1/2 SRP. CCI BR and...

I’d probably just tell her I already have enough guns, and tell Casper to more over for the Goddess to give me what I really need instead!

I’ve shopped with them for decades! Spent big bucks too the smallest, always a good buy. They usually have the optics that I’m looking for, and sometimes they put them on sale as well for a good price. Last Fall it was Schmidt & Bender scopes up to 40% off depending on the model. Guns and...

Welcome to the Nosler forum! That and you’re using one of my favorite cartridges! Super cool pic….. Of course the rifle, that said your plane would be too but you’re single shot is sexy.

It simplifies the whole process! During sizing a case can stretch and actually grow in length if you’re not making contact with the shell holder. This eliminates that, and allows each piece of brass to be sized down as close to the same as possible. You’ll love it! Not only that just write down...

I’ve been using them for twenty years. Super easy to setup, start with the .010” and chamber a round until you find the perfect shell holder for just a little crush fit in your chamber. Be sure you’re testing it with the quantity you’ll be doing. 1x, 2x, etc while you’re sizing the brass. Way...

Being bored sucks! I live alone with Casper, and Ari my 12 YO killing machine of a cat. Which always seems to lead to what should I build with the rifle parts I have in my safe. So I did what any red blooded American would do and started looking for the needed parts to make a completed...

I’m planning on going Bear hunting back in my old stomping grounds in Montana this spring, as well as here at home State of Idaho. I thought about going Pig hunting at a few ranches I’ve been to in the last two years in California, but I’m still on the fence about it. Love the terrain, good...

I still use my Swarovski 7x42’s from 1991 when you get get them for $750.00! Range finding Bono’s are Vectronix Vector X 10x42’s. Double duty and ver good quality product. I still prefer a Mil-Dot reticle or BDC type for hunting. 3-12, 3.5-15, 4-16, 3-18 for magnification. Whatever you can...

I know these two threads are over ten years old, but that’s the largest research study I’ve ever read to how big bore .458 caliber bullets function in hunting situations! Excellent write up Andy! You mentioned that you hunted in North Dande in Zimbabwe. Was that with HHK Safari’s? They used...

You’re absolutely right, the pure copper jacket seems to be very grippy! I tested the 7mm 160 AFrames in my 280AI and wondered the same thing! I still have that box with most of them still there.

Barnes P/N 45828 .458 cal 450 grain Flat Nose Banded Solids. Three 20ct. Boxes, old stock. I only opened the one box for you to see what you're buying/looking at. Three boxes 60 bullets, $75 bucks Shipped.

I know this a older thread, but I wondered the same thing and bought a magnum bolt to go with the standard .473" bolt I got with my Borden Timberline Magnum Action. I'm still debating whether or not to do a 20''-22'' 280 AI, or going off in another direction and build a SBR using a 25/280 AI...

The pfd files I have for the two can't be copied since they're locked. But I'll do my best to explain it in written form. Cartridge base to shoulder FMR is 1.8914" vs SAAMI Spec 280 AI 1.8923". Shoulder to neck FMR .0828" vs SAAMI 280 AI .0819". Neck length is the same for both @ .3858" Only...

@TackDriver284 @SJB358 @JD338 I agree with your assessment of what I believe most people were doing wrong with the 280AI and why I decided to post this! I just could not bring myself to telling Kenny Jarrett that a few years later when I went to help him out in November of 2004 after...

That’s FAST!

Art Alphin was the man behind A-Square Ammunition Co. A little eclectic, very charismatic, but pretty darn smart! He wrote a great book a long time ago called “Any shot you want” . It was a very early reloading manual and all about cartridges and hunting different game animals.

Same thing with reamers they have made for me. They charge $50 for each change. So if it’s the neck and throat it’s $100 for the changes made.

I was going to PM Dr Mike to ask him what I’m going to spell out here, but instead why not share it!?! Over twenty years ago I had a Jarrett 280AI built, along with two loads that came with the rifle. A 150 Nosler BT behind a stiff load of IMR4831, alongside a 175 Partition with just as stout...
