    Who here loads for the 25-284 and the 6mm-284?

    Ernie, I don't have the cartridges you asked about but I have a load for my 25 creed using Staball 6.5 and 100 grain bullets that are shooting under 1/2 MOA to 500 yards with charges thrown with an RCBS Uniflow. With the burn rate it might be worth looking into for the cartridges you are looking...

    Reloading used to be cheaper

    Even at today’s component prices I can load premium loads tailored for my 270 Winchester rifle at just under $1 a load. I can’t buy factory any cheaper. Also I recently bought the first box of factory 223 Winchester silver box for $24 and 4 out of 20 rounds failed to fire in my TC contender or...

    270 130g Nosler BT powders??

    My load uses AA 3100 which is now discontinued but if you run across any from and estate sale or old stock somewhere then that is a good option. I'm lucky to still have about 2 lbs left which no more than I shoot the 270 will probably last me the rest of my hunting life.

    Walker Game ear or similar?

    With the Axial’s I can. I’ve never tried the Walker.

    New chronograph time..... update****

    I'm still using a Oehler 33 that I've had for probably 30 years or so. It does take a little bit to set up but works great. The only thing I really dislike about the 33 is that it uses 6 D Cell batteries where the 35 uses one 9 volt. I have thought about getting a Magneto speed just for ease of...

    Those Were The Days

    On my shelf I've got primers marked at $1.89/100, Powder as low as $11.95/lb and bullets at $11.95/100

    2023 Burn Rate Chart (Updated to current Hodgdon chart)

    Sad to hear this. I had never used Norma until just a couple of years ago when I could get it and not some others. Norma 200 is about the best I have found for my 7TCU. I have a couple of lbs so I will have to be careful how I use it.

    Dumb and Dangerous Thing

    Just last week I was sighting in a new to me SSK contender barrel in .223 Remington. I only had 5 test rounds loaded with a 75 grain bullet to see if it would stabilize so for the first time in years I bought a box of factory ammo to sight in with. Note sighted and first round of the Winchester...

    Dumb and Dangerous Thing

    I’ve had them do both. If the primer does push the bullet out of the case then you hear the pop. If the bullet doesn’t leave the case then the only sound is the firing pin dropping.

    New packaging - CCI 250 Magnum large rifle primers

    I wouldn’t care if they wrap them in lace if they would come back down to about $50/1000

    How many of you are considering a tri-pod to shoot off of for hunting?

    Here is my setup. It now wears the bag in the range photo without the gun. Not the on with the gun in the photo.

    How many of you are considering a tri-pod to shoot off of for hunting?

    Ernie I'll be very interested in what you come up with for these handguns. I was looking for something to use with the XP's and the contenders just before hunting season. I looked at the Bog Pod Death grip but was unsure how much difference there would be in impact with it clamped in there vs...

    Least favorite step or task in reloading

    I' d have to say most of the case prep work. I know that with the exception of trimming most only has to be done once but still. Having said that you would think I would steer clear of wildcat cartridges but NO not me.

    Can't Win This Year

    I've heard hunters talk about hunting in "The Snow" What exactly is that is it like a private ranch you can pay to hunt, and if so how far is it from Georgia?

    Thanks. It's a little hard to see in the photo but I do have a non magnified red dot sight on this one. Even so with my skill level (or lack there of) still very much like bow hunting.
