Have a super lightweight 308 with a 2-7 power scope I have been using for mule deer in steep mountains. Best bullet so far accuracy wise is a 178 ELD X at 2550 fps. Would like to us the rifle for elk in the steep and wondering which bullet I have on hand to use. Distance is limited by the...

So am considering getting some seconds from Midway that appear from purchasers comments to be the Hornady ELD X but with a flat poly point instead of a sharp one. Would mostly be using them for target. Just wondering how to figure the change in BC versus the first quality items and if it is...

375 Ruger 22" barrel 250 Grain Sierra Gameking Staball 6.5 Ran out of IMR 4350 which worked very well.

I have seen people say that Magnum Primers are useful with Ball powders, esp. in cold weather. Would that be a thing with the new Winchester Staball powders?

150 grain soft point flat base. $.13 each for 500

$27 Just in at North 40 Makes excellent subsonics for 08 and 06 based brass. Small game loads for your big game rifle-see Hodgdon site.

Just got back from the High Buck hunt in WA. Rained on the scramble in. My Leupold scope mounts rusted on the first day of rain! Is this a common thing? I have several other mounts old and new that have been in more prolonged wet weather, even coastal sea air, that didn't do this. Any thoughts?

Have a bunch of 25 caliber cast bullets. A variety. About half are not lubed yet, could be lee tumble lubed if you want to keep it simple. Weights from about 85 to 120 grain. Some checked, some not, the unlubed ones could have a check added. Most my dad and grandad cast. A few commercial. Free...

Looks like I get to try the early season High Buck hunt. Probably in the Pasayten Wilderness . Any advice? I imagine it could be warm temps and where we are going takes at least a day to hike in. Keeping meat cool could be a challenge. Be at least two of us, maybe 4. 3 point minimum and I hear...

Hybrid steel/nickle for reloading. Lighter, Stronger, Faster for your speeding bullet. Like the cases for the 7mm Backcountry? https://shellshocktechnologies.com/shop/cases-reloading-tools/shell-shock-308-nas3-cartridge-cases/ Also says on another page Can I reload NAS³ rifle cases? " No...

Having success with old SR 4759 and 25 caliber match bullets for light 1700 fps loads. I sure wish they would bring back this powder. Anyway I a had a great couple of hours at the range. These loads have no kick. 18 grains of SR4759 and a 100 grain Sierra Match bullet (2nds). The 25-284 used...

Loaded some 223 grain cast bullets for the 30-06. 25 grains Reloder 7. Seated to the lands. 100 yards with some wind. Everything the same except the brass. Top of photo old military brass I found at the range. Foreign stuff with a 1969 date. Bottom same load but with RP brass. I stopped...

Rumor has it that IMR4227 is rebranded H4227 (which isn't on the current Hodgdon burn chart). I see some nice heavy loads for 38 special using H4227 and I have a couple of pounds of IMR 4227. Okay to use IMR for H data?

Came across these in my Dad's stuff. Thought I had found everything of his that seemed unique. He took 30-40 brass and shortened and milled down the rim to fit 44 mag. Looks like #7 1/2 shot with a cardboard wad held in place by water glass.

Wood tray primers. Dupont powder. Cast boolits. Lyman #1 reloading recipe.

Have a old Remington 722 short action. Curious about the 25 creedmore. What's involved? Who does good work?

This is a map of the national public lands in 11 western states that could be sold under the Senate version of the BBB. It's a huge amount of land. Much include important watersheds for city and agriculture. You can check and see if it is places you hunt or get your water, travel thru etc...

Opened a bottle of titegroup today to try some subsonic loads in 308 as a replacement for TrailBoss. Took 12 rounds out to the range and it shot well at 50 yards. Came back in to load some more and found the powder stuck to the sides of the clear plastic hopper on my RCBS measure. Even dawn...

Found where to hold the reticle in relation to the scope set for deer load. (lower left shots) It ends up to be holding the lower thick part of the duplex reticle on the bull. Then shot three, 3 shot groups at 50 yards. They all hit in the same spot about the size of a grouse's head. Very...

After getting some very fast loads compared to book velocities, I cleaned my rifle very deeply including iosso with brushes and then wipeout overnight. Velocity dropped 200 fps with the next rounds. After some searches I find some shooters saying the Reloder 16 I was using lays down carbon...
