    Anybody in the far North

    Alaska, Canada, or even lower 48 that hunts with the 348 and uses the Hornady 200 gr FP running low? Just curious.

    Tough hunting season but thankful.

    Thanks, it took it. There's deer in the county, just not here this yr for whatever reason. The second Thursday we had snow....I left my house and walked 3.5 miles on a loop on both sides of the ridge here. Cut 1 little deer track and I didn't even follow it because I figured a little deer by...

    Tough hunting season but thankful.

    Deer sightings were few and far between. They just disappeared around here for whatever reason. Wasn't seeing them in the fields in the evenings in the area and even when crops were cut in the beginning and during the rut, zero activity. Some guys think a batch of coyotes has them run out of the...

    32 Remington

    Jim, I just jumped on here and seen this. I have a Speer # 11 manual that is showing a page for the 170 gr FP for a 32 Winchester Special & the 32 Remington on the same page. In other words the same load data for both? Hodgdon online data has load data for the 32 Winchester Special, but you will...

    Whatcha Think!

    I shot this 4064 that was given to me with no issues, still have a little bit of it left. The can is in great shape and it did not have rust inside at all, but it's an OLD can of powder. I have not shot the 4320 yet, it's an old can also but based on the looks of it is not as old as the 4064.

    Whatcha Think!

    I'm with RL and XP. If it looks and smells fine use it without worries, and if at all possible move it to a clean empty container. I've used powders in old cans given to me with rust on the inside of the can. What I discovered with the first can is that pouring it out, then the remainder back...

    Garmin Chronograph

    I borrow a buddies Pro Chrono when I need one as he hardly ever uses it, but I hate borrowing stuff and been thinking about getting my own for some time now. I liked that I could shoot groups unaffected by checking speeds with the pro-chrono, but it did take a bit to set up. This thing looks...

    Powder valley big game

    Available here for $32.99. Maybe it's older stock that wasn't used up yet, don't know? Not as cheap as Ramshot powders but certainly way cheaper than Varget or IMR 4064 is currently. Right now because I have plenty of it for the time being, I'm substituting H4895 at a lower charge in place...

    Powder valley big game

    True, but not at Ramshot pricing, but not hateful prices either so it is an option. I've never used Accurate brand powders. If Ramshot would fill that gap I'd look to building up with them as my exclusive powder. They are available here, particularly at the 1 shop, and cheap.

    Factory Ammo.

    They had WLR primers. $75 a brick. Been quite a while since I seen LR show up, SR and pistol primers have been available for some time now, but no new LR coming in. So that was a welcome sight also. Of course with the world seemingly on fire right now, it could be an anomaly and when they're...

    Factory Ammo.

    What are you guys seeing in your area? I was in a LGS today and was honestly surprised at the amount of ammo. Either fully stocked or very close to it, and priced very well considering. Federal blue box, Remington Core Lokt and Winchester ammo in common cartridges like 30-30, 243, 7mm-08, 308...

    Powder valley big game

    Opposite here. Seems like Hunter is always there at the 1 shop, BG is there, then it's not. But wait a month and it's there again for a bit. Generally runs $28 per lb for both. I don't have anything against Ramshot powders for their intended uses. Good powder. Only thing I wish is that they...

    Some Savage 99 work.

    BTW Troy, as with most of my loads when I worked them up I did not have access to any computer generated load programs such as quickload, I still don't have quickload but do look at GRT different times. I was curious since you brought this up so I checked out my data on GRT. Measured a couple...

    Some Savage 99 work.

    I had to go look at what you're looking at, as this is an old post and not fresh in my head. Couple of things as to how I was able to get 40 grains in the case. A: I believe you're looking at IMR data and not H on the Speer data, you can get a little more in the case with Hodgdon. In the...

    Loose primer pocket causes

    I can't make an absolute statement on that particular brass, but my logical assessment without you even saying this does not happen with other brass would be to say that it's the Federal brass. Federal brass can be easy to work with accurate brass for a couple loadings, maybe even a decent...

    Making 35 Remington brass

    You didn't do a thing wrong or derail anything Dan. As it pertains to this topic that probably points back to me. I got tired of watching continuing idiotic statements and a repeating pattern from afar and not saying anything. I don't mind helping, glad to where I can, but help isn't what some...

    Bullet runout

    I don't go quite to all of those steps but I do seat the bullet halfway, raise the handle partway spin it 90 degrees and finish seating. Can't say it does or doesn't do anything, it's just what I do. I've never checked bullet runout, but I anneal pretty regular and use that seating method and...

    Older eyes are still hanging on.

    Thanks fella's. Shooting rifles in any format just doesn't get old. I do get an added sense of satisfaction when I manage to accomplish respectable results with the simplistic nature of using iron sights. This rifle was a rescue rifle that I tore completely apart including the bolt and...
