I’m just curious about my velocities, but since bow hunting season is starting to go prime I don’t plan on going back to the range to run my loads across the chronograph to figure out my drops. Could someone run velocities on two of my loads if they have the quickloads program! If so they’d be...

Got an email from Hornaday saying they sent me a box each back in the 200 and 250 versions. Also, my bullet puller showed up today. Just waiting to hear back from Barnes and Norma now. Norma told me that I would have about $73 on credit with whatever they have in stock online and if I didn’t...

I loaded 40 of them up the other day for the upcoming rifle season. I also pinned tumbled my brass so the inside of the case necks were nice and clean versus my test loads. They seeded way easier so now I’m paranoid but there’s not as much neck tension but I’m sure they’re probably just fine...

The only 200 grain .358…..3595” …I’ve shot deer with are these…. Loaded with 40 grains of varget they chrony at 2100 fps out of 336. They have dropped every deer I’ve shot with them where they stood when shot. I’ve shot a few with 180 grain hot cores. They do good as well but. Sone stagger a...

You must’ve got the right person or at least I must’ve beat some sense into them when they tried to replace my VX11 3-9 I paid $299 for back around 90’ (sent them the receipt) and they tried to replace it with an $199 equivalent. They got it right eventually. The vx3i I had 3 in row that went...

I figured those Speer 220s are tough bullets meant to be driven at max whelen velocities on moose and elk sized game…and bigger. Think I have at least 200 of them. I know they’re impossible to get since they don’t make them anymore and everybody’s after them. I’ve never tried them yet. I ended...

I have to many guns. It would cost a small fortune to put premium optics on every one of them.

Those particular projectiles are probably the same diameter , or a hair larger, as your inner bore dimensions then. Have you ever slugged your barrel and measured the slug? I normally do with every rifle because I shoot Cast through them. I also measure my jacketed projectiles. Undersized Cup...

Give it time it’ll do the magical “Leupold leap” as they all do. I have many leupolds that won’t adjust after adjusting three or four times and not moving like above . Then after so many tries i finally get it to adjust and zero it in. Then the next time out it’s so far off from zero. It...

A 2024 Zippedo (aka solid base) brought back to life!! I could only wish they re-introducing the partition golds again. I hope it’s a new innovative bullet design introduction instead of another oddball Nosler cartridge That’ll be by the wayside in a year or two.

Solid copper bullets won’t “expand” to fill the bore when you shoot it like a cup and core. Bonded bullets are just as bad imo for not expanding to fill out the “bore”. When fired imo. Have you ever slugged your barrel to measure the inside of it and that E tip? I’ve had some Barnes XLCs that...

Yep, I still have about a dozen boxes of 762x39, 40 count that I got for two bucks a box on close out from Walmart when they said they weren’t selling so called assault ammo anymore.

That brass is worth probably equivalent to a box of ammo! I wish somebody would be at the range and shooting 300 and 375 rum…and doesn’t reload! I got lucky a little over a week ago and somebody didn’t pick up their 10 mm brass.

Well, I just got off the phone with Barnes. After about a five minute conversation of trying to be told how to load my ammo properly and saying that they need to jump super far I explained that they’re still too small and diameter versus slugged barrel. Then I was told that my caliper wasn’t...

lol… I wish they were that cheap in reality but you get my point. Most people don’t even keep their 30-06 , or parent cases anymore. I find it at the range all the time. I was there last week and I had a guy give me all his military 30-06 brass when he got done shooting. I figured that’ll be...

Yeah back in the day I never annealed when this brass was purchased. Now I normally every 4 to 5 firings. I probably should’ve annealed my 35 Whelen brass this time around, but it’s loaded and ready to go. That stuff said least cheap even though it’s original Remington 35 Whelen brass I can...

I Powder coating them and Tumbled the coating on in a Tupperware container. I now mainly use clear powder coating for all my rifle rounds because it coats as smooth as glass. Figure it’s “mentally” more “aerodynamic” with the smooth clear finish. Eventually, I’ll try and get them to feed in my...

I’ve always had extremely good luck with their brass, but I’ve gotten a lot of the old bags as stated above. The stuff I won’t buy is federal. Too many cracked cases after once fired I’ve seen since I started getting into reloading 25 years ago. I remember buying one bag of 223 during the...

I tell you to try the Speer 180 grain hot core. I’ve shot a few deer with them out of my 35 Rem. I also just loaded some at Winchester velocities out of my Whelen to use this year. Pretty tough bullet. I crimp my 336, 35 Remlever gun using a lee factory crimp dye. Also use my own casted 200...

It doesn’t shock me that it’s taking so long. I sent them a 1000 count brick of browning re branded 1260 fps 33 grain hollow points a couple months ago and haven’t heard back yet other than they said eventually they’ll send me a check for a refund. I opened one of the 500 count boxes in the...
