    IMR4895

    I have not bought any powder in a long time. I find I have an unopened 8 pound jug of IMR4898 extra. Has anyone bought any lately?? What is a fair price for it if I sell it local??

    Firewood and wood heat

    We heated our home with wood in a very good wood stone that had an ash pan and auto draft and fan controls. I can no longer do so due to regulations and my disabilities. I used mostly Almond wood and most of it was stump wood that I split with a large, fast splitter powered by a Wisconsin V-4...

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

    It was true for 257W, 338win mag, and a couple of others. I just started separating my brass after that and did no more "testing". Knowing tis I was able to get 2 loads with the 257W to shoot to the same POI (within less than a inch at 100 yards) using 100gr TTSX and 120gr Swift A-Frame bullets...

    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 have many, many 1000's of cases I have gotten while helping with a CCW class each month and being a RSO at 2 ranges I belong to. They are once fired and NOT cleaned, sized, or deprimed. 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...

    It would be a big help if you said what cartridge! NOT caliber but the actual cartridge

    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.

    Least favorite step or task in reloading

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