FYI: 66 grains of 4831 takes up as much space as 74 grains of Staball HD. Just an observation. Also both are compressed loads.

I’d love to have an old Winchester Model 100 in 284 Win. I love the lines of it and it’s a great auto loader woods rifle. I had a 308 as my first deer rifle. I got 3 deer with that rifle. I was young and knew everything, and saw more white flags than standing deer. I have 3 ladders loaded for...

First, I got brass! I’ll be loading this afternoon once I prep the brass. I watch your posts and they always interest, and amaze me at the ranges you connect on. I really like your center grip handguns. I may start looking for a XP. Is there anything to look for with the bolt actions that is...

For me 100 yards is a long shot with my .44. It’s a Ruger Super Blackhawk with the 7 1/2” barrel. Off sandbags I’ve came up with a load that does 1 1/2”. I was ecstatic with that. But that’s under range conditions, not field.

Beautiful Muley’s! To me it’s pretty amazing that you can reach out that far with a handgun. The tolerances in those hand cannons have to be extremely tight to have the consistency to tackle those ranges. I’m kind of in awe of it actually.

That sounds like a nice cartridge. How do you like it?

Welcome to the forum! Great advice above. Bump the shoulder when the brass starts to get tight.

Thanks Dan that puts it in perspective. I’m going to see how it does before anything is done. Hopefully it puts them all in the same hole and nothing gets touched. Realistically I don’t feel like I am a one hole shooter anymore, maybe on a lucky day. The brass hasn’t been delivered yet so still...

I wouldn’t worry about any of the electronic scales being off. They all come with calibrating weights. Coins are a very poor choice for scale calibration. This is also a very good reason to work up with our loads. If you start low and work up to your rifles max load it won’t matter if the scale...

Thank you. One thing is certain. There is no cheap ammo for a WSM. I was able to pick up 100 pieces of Hornady brass for a fair price. Fair for the merchant, LOL. I may spring for Norma. I’m set pretty well for .277 bullets. I am going to tinker with the trigger some to see if I can lighten...

Thank you gentlemen. That was kinda my thoughts as well. See how it shoots as-is before doing anything.

I do have one question. I usually float the barrels of my rifles if they don’t have full length clearance. Do you guys full float the barrels of your Featherweights? Is it needed? Does it help them with consistency? Bare in mind that I haven’t fired the rifle yet. Regardless I was going to see...

I think it was just a fluke that I ended up with it. I’d rather be lucky than good I suppose. I’m going to keep it. It really is a pretty rifle. My grandson will end up with this one. Hopefully after many winters slung over my shoulder of course.

I finally got a couple photos taken of my new Featherweight. The photos aren’t great, that’s on me. Bore looks good, not fired much. There’s no erosion at all in the throat. Truthfully, I’d be surprised if there’s been 60 rounds fired. I’d call the blueing at 100%. There isn’t any wear even on...

I would imagine the newer suppressor solvents would work well on carbon fouling. They also seem to come in larger quantities than bore cleaners. I would think the suppressor ends up with many times the carbon fouling a bore will build up. Just a thought.

AI is no more good or bad than the algorithm employed by the designers. Sub-par designers put out ineffective applications. It takes in information from the user, makes a decision based on the algorithm written in the code, it then spits out the response arrived at by the designers code. Garbage...

Seafoam fuel additive makes pretty quick work of carbon. Great injector cleaner too😉 Kroil works too. It does great on lead fouling. Being a penetrating oil, it gets under the smeared lead and releases it from the bore.

Finally!! It’s about time!😂

I forgot about my 223’s. I use it in those too.

I use it as well. If you measure a fired case’s water capacity it will be dead on as said above. It’s been extremely close for me. It’s a great tool and not complicated to use.
