    Weatherby's New Cartridge....

    I've never used it but it's supposed to be really good brass right?

    Weatherby's New Cartridge....

    Just saw that Peterson is now offering 25 RPM brass.

    It's Good to Know!

    I can't imagine not having a chrono as a handloader. The Garmin Xero was another game changer for me as it's so small and can be setup on the bench next to you. I always found it such a pain to set up my old chrono on a tripod and either just shoot for readings or sit there and fiddle with it so...

    What is your favourite metric cartridge?

    When I heard metric I also think European like some have mentioned already, so I won't comment on the American cartridges. While I don't have a ton of experience with it yet, I absolutely love the 6.5x55 and shot my biggest buck ever with it last year. It's also in a Tikka, the stainless Hunter...

    2026 Hunting Season

    Excellent job! That was a far cry from my frustrating turkey season.

    Partition vs solid base in 30 cal

    Gotta love the Partition, especially a .375 caliber one! Those Solid Bases are looking pretty nice though. It handled that velocity well.

    Partition vs solid base in 30 cal

    I love Partitions and they will absolutely expand at lower velocities and on smaller critters. I've killed a bunch of deer with them in multiple calibers. The price can be a little high, but if you keep an eye out for blems/factory seconds in the Nosler shop, you can get them for a great price...

    Bergers for Hunting or Not?

    I've never had an issue with Bergers but haven't killed a ton with them and the ones I have used have been at low velocity. I shot quite a few in a 15" barreled Encore pistol in 260 Rem. The barrel was later rechambered to 6.5-270 JDJ and I used the 140gr VLD Hunting bullets, among others. The...

    Shout out to RCBS

    I've had similar experience with RCBS and some other reloading companies. They've always gone above and beyond!

    Hornady's new 257 Ackley Improved (Improved) or AII

    Yeah but the 257 Roberts has panache!

    175 grain ABLR elk recovery

    My 168gr ABLR with 2900 fps MV, hit a nice Alabama buck steeply quartering away. Went through almost the entire length of the deer and found under the skin, 80ish yard shot. I'd have no qualms about upclose shots on deer or pigs. I don't think I'd personally worry about it on bigger critters...

    175 grain ABLR elk recovery

    Awesome results and recovery. I love the 168gr ABLR in my 20" barreled 7mm PRC and works awesome on deer. The 142gr version is deadly on deer as well from my 6.5 PRC.

    Hornady's new 257 Ackley Improved (Improved) or AII

    I'd be all over that if it's true, but I can't imagine them coming out with that after they just released the 25 CM. Not much of a performance difference. If anything, maybe a 25 PRC? Though a 257 Roberts AII does sound very intriguing! My favorite caliber is the 257 Roberts, killed my first...

    Tikka T3x Roughtech

    Man those are some great velocities, especially the 140gr load. So much for slow Tikka barrels. Looks like you have some very promising results and with a touch more tweaking, you'll be dialed. Though there's not a thing wrong with those results!

    185 gr Berry's Hollow Base plated bullets

    I like those Berry bullets as well. Shot quite a few in 9mm, 40 & 45 along with the Rainier plated bullets. Just don't push them too fast. My Springfield 1911 liked the 200gr SWC Berry's version over Titegroup.

    Which Herman has the safest all-around size?

    I guess I'll bite, what's a Herman?

    Color dye on Federal GM Match primers

    Same, only seen purple on the mags.

    44 Mag Bullet Test

    I wonder if the thicker plastic of the 5 gal buckets is affecting things?

    44 Mag Bullet Test

    Interesting results. Not much expansion going on there. The Hornady FTX tends to like being driven a lot faster, not sure about the others. Not your pretty full mushrooms, but results are results.
