    2023 Bullet Wish List

    I don’t blame you…have a nephew that his dream job was to be a mechanic. After five years working for a local dealership he had enough, and left to be an electrician. Regarding the original topic…other than increased production, I’d love to see a 130gr Ballistic Tip for the .264 family. It’s...

    2023 Bullet Wish List

    But someone promised all of those government goodies. 😏 Can't argue there...I got tired of the sixty-hour weeks because of that and took an eight-hour position in the same company that pays about the same without all of the physical exertion, more crunching numbers and making corrections to...

    2023 Bullet Wish List

    Something to keep in mind is that maybe they're struggling to get the raw materials needed. I've been witnessing that with the injection molding industry. One resin that comes out of Cologne Germany, my employer has in upwards of 58000Kg currently on backorder. It was at 86000Kg, but we had...

    Is there a reason primers aren't shrink wrapped?

    Shink wrapping requires the products to be passed through a heat tunnel, and most shrink films require a minimum temperature of 200-300 degrees.

    Using loading manuals when they don't have you exact powder and bullet combination

    Gordon's Reloading Tool is showing that both lines of data that Western list in their manual are well within the safe range for the 165gr SST. Maybe someone with QuickLoad might chime in.

    300 WSM Quality Issues

    I ran in to a similar situation only with Nosler's "Fully Prepped, Ready to Reload" virgin brass for my .270 Winchester. Was able chamber a round but couldn't lock the bolt. The rounds I had handloaded I had to run through a Redding body die and bump the shoulder back, the other 250pcs I had...

    More BS ...again.... answer the damn phone

    When I was growing up, my father had to be to work by 0530 but my mom didn't have to be in until 0700. So once my father got to work, he'd call to make sure my mother was awake getting ready. I don't know how many times he would call her, lay down the phone, walk to the other side of the...

    338-378 For Long Range Hunting

    I was but that got tossed onto the back burner. Weatherby pulling the rifle from the market was part of the reason, the rest is that most ranges within a reasonable commute from where I live land in the 100-300yd spectrum. The only range outside of that group that I'm aware of is almost six...

    338-378 For Long Range Hunting

    I wanted to go down the road of getting a 338-378. If anyone remembers the TRM (Threat Response Magnum) rifles they had about twenty years ago, that's the rifle I wanted. I went as far as getting my hands on 100pcs of brass and a set of Hornady dies to load with, from a company out of Valentine...

    Revolver issue

    With no end shake in the cylinder, then that leaves only three possibilities. A dirty/gummed up action, a weak hammer spring, or a faulty firing pin.

    Revolver issue

    How much end shake does the cylinder have? Too much end shake can cause misfires and light primer strikes.

    Local Find

    While I was snooping around a local sporting goods retailer, seeing if there were any inventory changes in the supplies that I'm in need of, I strolled past their clearance display where I was shocked to see a Nosler product on the shelf. While I've seen the older boxes with the flip open top...

    Best powders to try for 6.5 creedmoor

    With "Very limited" range time, this is the best group I've gotten so from Superformance and 129gr SSTs. I honestly think the rifle could shoot better than I can.
