    Thanks for the data. Seems like a near replacement for RL22 which I use in several cartridges.

    Winchester WXR Powder

    I was given an 8 lb keg of Winchester WXR powder which appears to be in good shape and have been properly stored. Powder is no longer made. None of my reloading manuals show any data for it. The only thing I have found is that it is the same general burning rate as RL 22 and MRP. Anyone have...

    UPDATE***Explain this...case will not chamber...

    The problem is likely exactly what flyingagg describes. Conventional dies cannot size right above the belt in cases that are shot in z as different rifle. Only the Willis or Wilson? Die will fix this. I have run into this issue many times before with brass I have picked up

    Steiner Predator 4 scopes

    Steiner Predator 4 scopes

    I have 2 pairs of Steiner binocs that I hunt with and they are excellent. Looking thru some of the “claims” on the Predator 4 series got me interested mainly in low light performance. I have ordered the 2x10x42 on a good Black Friday deal and will be comparing them to the Trijicon Huron, ZEISS...

    What will be your cartridge/rifle of choice for this fall? Second?

    so many choices, so little time! Since I will be only hunting deer this fall, will probably rotate 257 R, 25/06, 270 Win, 6.5x55, 308 and 30/06. Might throw in a 7 mag as well.

    2024 Spring Brown Bear Hunt Report

    You guys dont miss a trick! Here is the story. As I said earlier, I spined the bear on the first shot and it was academic after that. But since it is a dangerous animal, my guide kept telling me to shoot as long as it was moving. So on the second shot when the bear picked up his front half I...

    Bullet Identification

    I bought a batch of assorted pull down bullets last week and got 7 of these strange bullets I cannot identify. They are .277 diameter, 113 gr weight, no visible hollow point and 3 grooves, obviously an all copper bullet. I was thinking this might be intended for a 6.8 SPC or 277 Fury but that is...
