    Just how much will different case mfg impact velocity if all things are equal. Here's one example

    I found that the Nosler brass gave the slowest FPS. Hornady brass gave the most FPS. and weatherby, win, rem brass was in the middle. The point of impact was 1 inch plus at 100 yards. This was in several different cartridges also. Now I sort my brass as to manufacture and number of times fired.

    AR varmint bullet

    for years- until Calif required non-lead ammo- I use 55gr SX Hornady bullets. I still use them when out of state. Mag primer and 27grs of Win 748 has been super accurate and explosive. Not I use 36 gr VG Barnes bullets. They work but I do not get the 3 pieces of the squirrel flying in all...

    Shooting the 03-A3

    I have one that my dad bought from the DMC in the 1950's that cost $14.95 plus $3.?? shipping to our home. I wish I still had the wooded box it came in. He left it original and deer hunted with it. It has many memories for me. I also remember him taking it to work in the 1960's to get all the...

    FS-9mm Luger brass.

I will sell them for $25.00 per 1000 by weight. I looked it up and there are an average of 114 cases per lb...

    What's so Special about the 270 Win?

    There is nothing special about the 270. Jack O'Connor used it and promoted it heavily and people bought into it. The truth he used a 30-06 for game bigger than deer/sheep. The bit about less recoil is garbage also. The 25-06 has less recoil also. The 257W has one pound less recoil than the 270...

    anyone?

    I do not use target bullets for hunting. I use real hunting bullets. Prefer Nosler PAR or one of the Swift Bullets for big game. If shooting ground squirrels I prefer the Hornady SX bullets or I would use a target bullet since it is not really hunting and just shooting were I do not care to take...

    Reloading Component Fads

    I have tried h-1000 and Retumbo in a number of cartridges I load. Other powders did better over the Chrono and gave excellent accuracy.

    Extra $12 Worth It?

    I prefer the TTSX bullet over the TSX or E-tip myself.

    Did some 7-08 testing today

    Least favorite step or task in reloading

    chamfering case mouths and deburring the outside after trimming. Hard on my fingers

    Is there a reason primers aren't shrink wrapped?

    no need to. I have ones stored in my house and in the garage that were bought in the 1960's and they still work fine

    tac-x

    use same data. Basicly the same bullet in a different box for marketing purposes. This is what the guys at the Barnes booth at the SCI convention told me a number of years back

    Barnes Bullet Question(s)

    they are the old design and best used for plinking. The TTSX or LRX bullets they make now are much better and far less finicky to load
