Excellent! You should be proud to have filled both tags so quickly on your first trip into an area that you had never hunted before. I know many, many people that can't pull that off. Started planning next years hunt yet? I was rooting for you after following all of your frustrations with...

Another idea, I have one cartridge that I have to leave the press over-cammed for ten seconds or so to make sure that the brass doesn't spring back too much after sizing. And another cartridge that I had to mill the holder down a touch to let the die touch the shoulder. That was a semi-custom...

Shoots that theory down. Try blackening a case that won't go and try to chamber it to see where the hangup is?

What cartridge are you referring to? If a belted magnum, you may be seeing a bulge of brass forming just ahead of the belt.

Awesome job by the young hunter. How long did it take for him to come back down to earth? Bet he was excited.

Got to the range today! The plan was to test-fire, break the barrel in, and run a seating depth trial. Installed an Timney trigger and put the barreled action in an HS Precision stock after a nip-tuck here and there. Loaded a moderate load of Retumbo at various seating depths. Sighted in...

One step closer. Test fire this weekend. Then bead blast barrel and bed stock. Fingers crossed, might make it to Wyoming with me.

I have a few thoughts. 1. Carbon ring in chamber neck? Other fouling in chamber or throat? What is the brass thickness in the neck of the new brass? What is the neck diameter of a loaded round? Might be falsely increasing neck tension. 2. Scale accuracy? I check mine with a variety of...

At last, after a couple of delays from being too busy, planting, spraying, and a divorce (not mine)... the parts are at the smith's getting put together. Should be done this weekend. Then finishing stocks like a madman in the hopes of working up loads before hunting starts.

Charlie, that is exactly what I ordered to replace the mounts. I think the Leupold mounts are great on rifles with lower recoil, but don't trust them now on the heavy bangers.

Had a first time scope mount failure at the range yesterday. I was spot checking my 200g Accubond load in my 325 WSM. First shot dead on and speed right at 2950fps. Second shot 3 inches to right, speed at 2950. Wondered what happened. As I lined up for the third shot, I noticed the eye...

Finally made it back to the range with this load. A wise man suggested I not jump the VLD as much so I went back out towards the lands and ran some groups around 0.050 through 0.080 off which is where I had good luck in the past. Magic! All 4 groups were right at a half MOA. Final load is...

Is the seater stem designed for round nose flat nosed bullet? I squashed a hollow point like that once when I forgot to change the stem on my RCBS die.

Good deal. I wish you the best of luck. Hope you forget all of the previous frustrations with the new stick. My best loads with the 150s is 62.5 to 63.0 grains IMR 4350.

The problem is that I will never get to examine the exact bullet as it is buried in the backstop with millions of other bullets. Also, I unfortunately did not weigh every bullet in this box which might have caught this bullet if it was an oddball. I wonder if the core might have been cracked...

The keyhole was 7 inches below point of aim. I think it was a bullet failure but have no idea why. I just took a couple more pictures and it looks like the bullet must have folded in some way and the tip was bent off at an odd angle. The base of the bullet still went through in somewhat...

I like it in my 7 Rem Mag. Developed a load for 120g BTips for coyote hunting this past fall. It does seem to be pretty stable in colder temps. The barrel also cleans very easily with this powder, lots of carbon that wipes out easy with little copper fouling. The only thing I noticed was...

Loaded up a few more at 86.2 grains. Everything was going well, 2 shots to dial in the scope, 3 shots under a half inch, fourth shot flier that was not me, fifth shot back in the groove. Total group size 1.2 without the flier, almost 3 with it. Shot two more bullseyes on separate targets...

And after trying numerous new handguns and researching the options, she picks this... I am uber impressed and green with envy. H&K VP9. I am going to have to teach her to reload soon. I prepped 500 fired cases this weekend and over 1000 this past month... Now I have a 9mm shooting fiend...

Put a few more rounds down range this afternoon. 86.5g put out 3115fps with no pressure signs. 87.0g ran 3141 but started to see a very faint ejector mark on all three cases, but not much primer flattening and no sticky bolt. Both shot .75 MOA. Due to having a very nice and tight model on...
