Well, I have a shelf full of completely useful powders and bullets that don’t get used and I keep reaching for favorites. Having more time on my hands than is healthy, I’ve decided to simplify. Atleast try too. I’m dividing all my powders into one of two categories. Hunting powders and...

Just sharing my experiences with a number of presses over the years. RCBS Jr. got this as a hand me down. A little rough from moisture but made some fine 30-06 with it. For sure a serviceable press. I would not be afraid to use one. Redding BigBoss II, my favorite press so far. Can handle...

Would appreciate a Quick load report that shows powder choices for: 300 WSM Berger VLD - Hunting (30510) 24” barrel Lapua brass Federal 215 COAL will be approximately 2.860” (Jam is 2.906) I have a good selection of powders. My Sierra Game King HP (165) break in bullets with IMR4350 65.5 are...

So long journey. The old news is May 2020 we were flooded by a pair of dams, one breached (basically catastrophic failure mid embankment(blow out)) and the downstream dam failed(overtopped and eroded away the embankment). My reloading gear and ammo were all flooded and submerged for 3 days and...

I see Nosler Solid Base bullets are back. 6mm and 30 cal, plus some others. Solid bases were not around. Any thoughts about them for hunting bullets?

So my Marlin 336 XLR ( remlin micro groove) Has shot no better than 1.25” at 100 yards. I find that satisfactory, but it was difficult to get there. I think I might have found the issue/irregularity… I got the Hornady kit to measure neck thickness and I found a lot of my brass has an abrupt...

Has anyone tested an RCBS X Die? They claim they’ve redesigned the tolerances and mandrel design so the case length will stabilize and you won’t need to trim does a second time? Sounds like an upgrade. I am using imperial wax and get a little on the case mouth, so it lubes the mandrel. I...

Went by local Walmart and in the muzzle loading section I noticed some things I’ve never seen in a Walmart before. Remington Large rifle and large rifle magnum primers! Probably over 20 boxes of 1000. Plus StaballHD and other powders. I bought a box of NBT 277 130’s for $30. Wish they had...

So helped a farmer with a 350 Legend. Loaded Barnes TSX HP 170gn over win 296. It was very good at killing game fast. Mike Avery - Michigan outdoor magazine, radio show/podcaster… took a 350 legend on a black bear hunt and it did the job just fine. Was actually a bit impressed. I’d rather...

First, thank you to all you enablers and teachers of this reloading craft. I’m getting better at quickly getting to great loads… This is not my rifle, but given its performance with a minimal investment in a savage with a kit scope…Michigan has a line which I’m a couple miles north off, us...

This might help someone looking for a discount on the Garmin Xero. Code in the image. This happens monthly and it stacked with their fall sale in September.

Heading to Florida with FIL (87) on Tuesday. They had had undetermined amount of surge water in their trailer. It was basically flushed in 2022 with rain water after Ian’s wind lifted the roof and 20” of rain fell in the area… this time, ocean surge got the park. We’ve heard 6-18” depending on...

Looking for the quickload report that show powders ranked by projected muzzle Velocity. 22” barrel, Starline Brass, Nosler ballistic tip 130gn. Primers I have them all. I do have a good Barnes TTSX load that works with RL17, but unsure if that’s any indication of good performance of a cup...

Shopping for a new chrono. The Garmin seems to be king of the hill at our range. The Labradar guys have trouble on the 600, but Garmin guys are getting it done. I’ve been on magneto speed for a number of years, but it went offline and o Won’t come Back to ready. So probably time to get the...

Looking for a list of powders that would work for the Barnes 350 Legend TSX FB 170 HP. I’ve checked the Barnes web site and surprisingly… even though I think I have a big selection of powders… the ones they list aren’t mine. For reference here is the list from Barnes. I also saw Winchester is...

Anyone loading for 350 legend? Have a friend who’s really fond of HP bullets. I haven’t been following 350 legend, but looks like Barnes has an HO

My niece recently graduated from High School and is accepted to VMI, Virginia Military Institute. Her parents are scratching their heads as she’s been an Air Force brat. Mom, dad and grandfather. There’s also some Navy/coast guard on her dad’s side of the family. Any VMI alum in here? She’s...
