    Quick Load - BLC2 with Nosler 55g B-tips (223 Rem)

    As the title implies, I'd like to use up my stock of BLC2 powder with a huge batch of blem b-tips that should be showing up. Can anyone show me the quickload data? Sort of odd. Just about every reloading guide shows great fps with BLC2, and nosler doesn't use it for any of their loads...

    Nosler vs Remington 25-06 Brass

    You know what my problem with Nosler and Lapua brass is? I never want to use it. It's so perfect, shiny and awesome, I tend to just use my win/rem brass because it's 'disposable'. For some dumb reason, I always want to save it for something... like a big hunt, or a match, or something fun...

    Reloading room ideas

    When we were looking at 3 car garaged homes awhile back, I'd just about talked my wife into letting me build/frame out the 3rd car garage with temporary stud walls as a shop. Smaller area that could easily be heated as needed with electric baseboards and a way to keep it all enclosed.

    Progressive Press Users

    Dillon 650 here reloading exclusively 9mm I have the typical 5 station setup: resize/deprime powder drop/flare powder check seat crimp With a 5 station press, there is little reason to combine seating and crimping, unless you are going for a bullet feeder. It also depends on what type of...

    Scheels in Iowa City

    Not sure if it matters or not, but the President of Scheels is a hard core pro-2A type and a pretty damn nice guy to boot. If there was one closer to me, I'd be doing business with them

    advice for a newbie at using the .223

    Just a few thoughts... - Why limit yourself to one bullet for all applications? Enjoy, embrace and bask in the fact that we have a ton of options! Why have one bullet do 'ok' at everything when you can have fantastic performance just by using 2 or maybe even 3? - The 69g SMK is a fantastic...

    Who's got what?

    Just a heads up, looks like it's not just a run on components. I was over at Dillon over the weekend, and there were three lines five deep at each register. The place has been picked over, with almost nothing left available for reloading equipment. Drove half way across the valley only to...

    Why and when did Handgun Partitions go the way of the Dodo?

    I'd never thought about it like that, but I do believe you're onto something.

    Loading for 6.5 Creedmoor

    It's one of those cartridges that is in the 'when' not 'if' bucket. When I finally shoot out my .243, it may well end up in 6.5. Great all around cartridge.

    300 rem ultra mag

    A few thoughts... As others have said, the action alone is worth $400. I'd buy this one in a heartbeat, for that reason alone. That said, while this may get me flamed for being a snob, I'd swap out that scope before ever carrying it in the field. Burris isn't a bad optic, but the big, hard...

    Redding Competition Seater Die....does it need cleaning ?

    I clean all my dies when they are new. My preference is hornady one shot cleaner, works like a charm.

    35 Whelen data

    Also - SPS has in the 250g partitions in 35 at the moment for a great price. Had to grab a few more boxes just to keep them on hand.

    Who's got what?

    SPS has 55 grain .22 calibers btips up again. :)

    Who's got what?

    Seems to me there may be some value in having a sticky thread going to share information when we find components becoming available. - My find of the day? You can buy bullets everyone else is out stock directly off Sierra's website.

    New 150 AB Long Range 7mm Rem Mag

    I'm really looking forward to the 168g in my 7 STW. 3000fps with a .652BC? It still will have 1600 foot pounds of energy at 700? Sign. me. up.

    CCI BR2 and Federal LR Match Primers

    I've been able to substitute Fed and CCI with no issues or changes in load workup. (I did drop down a few grains and work my way back up, but the sweet spot for powder was the same on both.)

    I have the new stocked version of the 527 Target / Varmint and it's a peach.

    Ruger Guide Rifle

    I've come to really dislike breaks. I don't need one in the field as I've never actually felt recoil when hunting. I don't like them at the bench because it's obnoxious as hell for anyone near me. Unless I had my own spot out in the middle of nowhere, and was shooting with nobody around, I...

    243 Win / 90 AB

    I love R19 in the .243. I've had fantastic groups with R19 and a S HPBT MKs. I've tried a few different powders and always go back to R19. With the heavy weight .243 bullets, it seems to be consistently my most accurate powder.
