    45 debate: 1911 or Sig

    Late to the party, but if you're looking at a 45 sig, don't forget about the new Sig P227. It's basically a 226 frame setup for 45. 10 round mags (larger than the 220) with 14 rounders available sometime. I really like mine, even if it's maybe not as gun game friendly as my 21SF. Absolute...

    308 winchester with 125 grain accubonds?

    I've reloaded a few batches of the 125g BT in my 300 BLK. Shoots extremely well, but can't comment on game performance, as all I've shot is paper.

    21SF - I think I'm smitten

    So awhile ago, I was in my local glock monger's shop, getting new sights on my 34. I asked to fondle a 21SF, and the guy was nice enough to point out that they had a trade in that just came into the shop. An almost pristine 21SF. It already had the 3.5# connector, night sights and an extra...

    Difference in presses???

    Each press has it's own quirks but they can all make good ammo. Of all the variables in the equation, there are other items that make a lot more tangible difference. Quality of the bullet and seating depth seem to be king. After that, you can argue that it's the dies, brass prep and...

    45 ACP

    Thanks gents - very helpful. I think I'll try the 320 before moving onto 310. I'm just a big fan of VV all around - Just seems to run extremely cleanly.

    45 ACP

    I had a binge moment and picked up a Sig 227 and am thinking it's time to start reloading that 45acp brass I've been collecting for years. Anyone have any pet loads for the 185g or 200g Montana Gold or other plinking bullets? I'll likely be setting up my 550 to run these. I'd really like to...

    Brand New Here

    Late to the party here... I didn't have a as much luck with H4350 as I did R19 with the heavy bullets in .243. I found that R19 did a better job with the 105g AMAX& Sierra HPBT.

    Thoughs on a Minox?

    For the money, it's decent glass. I do notice a bit more distortion around the outside than I do with my better optics. But the middle is crystal clear and it's mechanically very reliable.

    You sir, have the perfect opportunity to 'need' a 35 Whelen. Take advantage of it!

    Light weight big game bullet options?

    I may be way off base here, but my thoughts... You get only a limited window to let your kids in on the joys of hunting. If she has a bad experience or is turned off by the recoil, you may loser her as a blind buddy. That risk, to me, is worth a little investment to make sure she has a good...

    Any luck locating 168gr 7mm Accubond LR Bullets???

    Man, I couldn't be happier. I found a box of 168s on the shelf last night at SWH. Guess who will be at their bench most of this weekend.

    brass quality - hunting rifle

    I think it really depends on what you're trying to do. I can craft excellent ammo with new Winchester brass for any of my rifles I've ever tried it on. I've had consistent tiny little groups using it. (That's with only full length sizing, and not weighing for consistency.) Especially with...

    Which powders would you choose?

    I've always found that between R19, R15, Varget & H1000, I've found great loads for everything from .204 Ruger to 375 H&H.

    STW/168 ABLR

    I wish I'd managed to snag a box before they vanished from the shelves. I built my STW up just to play around with that bullet, and it's killing me to not have some to play with. I'm going to console myself with working up loads for the 150 in 7mm08, 7RM and the STW. Oh well. .611 will...

    7mm 168 LRAB They're Here!!!

    Great stuff. I have a sneaky feeling that on white tail and antelope, I won't likely recover a 150 unless it's a stem to stern shot. Even at 7RM speeds, it's probably an easy through and through. With the 7STW, it's probably the same for anther couple of hundred yards. :P I think I'd still...

    35 Whelen Elk Loads

    After having shot 200g to 250g out of my light as a feather Whelen, I prefer the 250 partition and 225 AB. But when it comes to the Whelen, there are no wrong answers. It's a thumper loaded with any premium bullet.

    7mm 168 LRAB They're Here!!!

    I can't believe I waited 5 hours and they were already sold out. I didn't make the same mistake when the 150g 7mm bullets arrived! (And props to midwayusa. I did the order on my iPhone and the interface was great. I normally hate doing anything on mobile, but their process was pretty...
